Yes that is a big problem, I have the problem as well on a truck. I beat on the metal to break the rust, then vacuumed it out, then sandblasted down in the crevice as best as I could, then vacuumed again, then filled with cold galvanizing paint, then sealed the top with black silicone to keep...

Cool, so you have a 1971 AM General M35A2 without winch. Grab a new main data plate from one of the various vendors and stamp the frame number on it.

Welcome. Mainlander here up the road in League City. Holla if you need anything.

Fuel pressure, cranking amps, RPMs.

The registration number ending in 71 means it is a 1971 year model.

Well you learned something. Any time you are faced with a interconnected system and you don't know where the problem is, start diagnostics at one end and work forward.

"Still no fuel" where? Glow plug hole or filter?

Blue smoke means burning oil, start with the easy fixes, see if the turbocharger has oil seepage on either side. Take the truck on a hard run and see if it clears up after you check the turbocharger. Make sure you don't have oil dilution. On the Allison, check the modulator cable and the...

I would disconnect the fuel line between the filter and injection pump so you can see when and if fuel has made it that far.

Junk the entire dryer and replace, several how-to threads in FMTV forum.

Ouch. What happened is, when you disconnected the batteries with the switch, the alternator no longer had reference voltage and it ran away. Likely the protective control box has burned up components inside. There is a thread here about repairing it.

My 2 cents, if you are planning expeditions to the middle of nowhere, it's time you learned to DIY. Super easy to do, just need a Milwaukee Fuel impact or old school pneumatic and a tire hammer.

Use little pieces of the old seal to center the pane, and fill the rest of the void up with black silicone. Prevents the frame from rusting out.

Welcome. Yes that trailer used to have a large washer and dryer extractor mounted on it. There is a picture of the complete unit in TM9-2800 Standard Military Vehicles, 1947 edition.. Then, just like now, people would scrap the washing equipment to get the trailer. I had one identical to...

Transfer case should last indefinitely with proper lube inside and no abuse.

Warmer means drag and friction. Wheel end spider still not set up right.

Cat in bad shape, smoke from draft tube never simple fix

Two things I would not do in your situation: try to open and fix the transfer away from home, or install any transfer "take out" that is not known 100% to be good.

Well that sucks. Replacing the transfer case is a arduous job that has to be done with proper lifting equipment. Look into what options you have for getting towed to a truck repair facility. A faster option to get home might be to have your truck hauled along with you. A transportation...

Yes, ms means military standard, and the newer gauges work with older senders and opposite. Main thing is match up the pressure ranges. By ammeter, I assume you mean battery/generator indicator? It needs an ignition switched power feed.
