Trailer is M416, built for use with M151 series. It will be fine behind the A1. The engine data plate is from when Dutch military overhauled the engine.

Engine is correct! I believe only entire fenders are available.

That is the same axle that was bolted on in Sealy in 1998. Get a quote on drive-in drive out gear change at MTP drivetrain in Many, LA. You can wait or get a rental car and go home.

Wow add this to the list of bizarre FMTV air brake problems. Have not seen this, my only suggestion is to go back to the usual culprit of spring brake application while driving, issues with the vent in the front gladhand covers.

The GP lot is in the middle of the action at Red River Depot. Inches away from the interstate. You want a car hauler to move that for you, not a 18 wheeler.

Yes the 3 digit number is your VIN.

Kinda. But talk about rollin' coal. They rolled coal before it was cool . . .

That is a 1950's German made clone of the US WWII 1 ton Ben Hur trailer. They were brought over about 20 years ago by various vendors such as Army Cars. Contracts for these trailers were handed out to aid with economic reconstruction of war devastated Germany. I have one, it is hard to tell...

Guys, the ring and pinion gearsets are a current item for Meritor. Vendors such as FMTV Truck Sales and MTP Drivetrain can also install these for you, either drive in drive out, or send your chunks to them.

Nope, it's based on the WWII GMC 6x6 chassis known as the "CCKW". The 1950's M135 axles/chassis are similar but not the same and not interchangeable. Some of the aftermarket DUKW builders have used the M135 chassis however.

Welcome. The LMTV's single rear Meritor RF611 axle is rated at 15,000 lbs. The tires are good for 10,000 ea. So figure the truck weighs 18,000 empty, say 8000 of that is on the rear, so leaves you with 7000 payload, or 3.5 tons. Most prior military vehicles were rated at twice the capacity...

The seal that is leaking or missing is between the flange and spline. Pvt. Dope tried to shortcut the proper repair with a tube of silicone.

Call Surplus City Jeep Parts and see who they recommend. Nice Jeep! Is it original USMC? Might have that limited slip front axle?

Welcome. Look for chafing on the wiring behind the dash. On the soft skin trucks, the gas pedal linkage would wear through the harness and cause shorts only if you were on the gas. Not sure if the armored cabs have this problem or not. The on - off cycling sounds like the breaker resetting...

Breaker on?

Yes, the International could be considered a "deuce", but I don't think they were called that back in the day. Yours is prewar and should be closed cab.

Believe that you are loosing fuel prime due to a tiny leak in the primer bulb. Air in the injection system is especially bad for this engine.

On the 886 ambulances, there was never an issue with the windshield cracking. The entire box does flex a good bit going over terrain.

The balancer failing will cause the crankshaft to break and you will know it! I would not replace the chain. Others here have had repeated failures of Dorman balancers.

Dorman balancer made with substandard rubber. Replace again while cursing "globalization ".
