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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
