    VIN Number?

    No sir that is incorrect. That number is the registration number.

    M548A1 -- What Shaft Fits the Splined Output Hole on Back of XFer Case?

    Yes, that is where the M1015 EW carrier has the generator drive attached. That's the only answer I know. My 1015 still has all that attached.

    Military or civilian cable splice

    I say yes. Looks like heat shrink tubing, which few civilians have access to. A typical civilian repair would be black electrical tape or worse.

    NTC 400 Cummins Coolant in the engine oil

    I think you are going down the right path. The water dribble into the crankcase should be very obvious once you pressurize the coolant jackets. My money is on liner orings. Sounds like the engine was run without coolant.

    M52 Tractor with M172A1 Low Bed

    Absolutely. The 5 ton is intended to pull the M172A1, but not at the full 25 ton trailer capacity. There should be a data plate on the trailer listing the derate trailer capacity.

    Is there a way to trace a HMMWV back to where is was deployed by the serial number?

    That thread will tell you the LAST unit your truck was assigned to. It could have been assigned to dozens of units before that and been deployed all over the globe in any conflict or base location since it was made.

    M925A2 Electrical Short/Nightmare

    Sounds like the common 60 amp alternator runaway voltage failure. Burns up the gauges. See what your system voltage is engine running and off and report back.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    Just reading up on this myself, the mfgr standard lubrication interval for wedge brake components is 160000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. Use NLGI grade 1 grease.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    I don't think the air side of the brake system is what froze up, rather the pushrod and wedge within the wedge brake actuators (all of them).

    M1078

    Well did you win it? 6 grand for a truck with a plethora of expensive to fix issues. Not coming home to me unfortunately.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    Given the temps in Austin are below freezing today, I suspect all of the brake actuators are frozen.

    M1078

    Starter is missing as well. You don't want it, it's a total POS. Worst LMTV ever to be auctioned. Motor's locked too. Hole in the transmission.

    CCKW top bows / troops seats

    The bow corners are the same as modern deuce/5 ton. The top wood curved sections are available from JATONKA35.COM, same as M135 or M34. So are the wood staves. Troop seats are similar, but not the same as M35A2.

    M936 not shifting out of first

    I thought I read this has something to do with converter lockup switch? Edit: No, that is Stalling in first.

    M1078 Alternator Problem

    Good to know. You are saying the little yellow terminal on the 200 amp HMMWV alt (intended to power the 4L80E brain) has enough azz to run all the 12 volt loads on a FMTV? Thats a lot of amps when you figure lights and heater fan.

    1992 M998 HMMWV Hub Question

    It is a breather, look for a small poly line that should be attached there. I would reconnect the line, refill the hub, clean the oil up, and go for a ride. Most likely the oil is coming from the seal.

    CCKW bell housing removal

    Remove transmission. Remove clutch. Remove flywheel. Unbolt bellhousing.

    Towing a m818

    Can you guys remind me, connecting the air lines between the tow vehicle and the 800 series does not cause the brakes to actuate, correct?
