Oh and check to make sure the smaller terminals on the solenoid switch are getting 12? volts from the harness before you replace the part needlessly.

Nate has a M1078A1, and those switches in the battery box area are unique to the A1's and not covered in the basic M1078 manual series. The A1's technical manuals are only available electronically to the military.

Yup that switch is bad, did not like being submerged. Get the part number off the label on it and Google it and see what you come up with. Should be a commercial part available from truck supply sources in Houston.

Attach point for trailer safety chains.

Red you just saved me a lot of typing. Only thing I can add is, nearly all engines and automatics manufactured since the 90's are electronic control. It may be advantageous to purchase a wrecked entire truck with the desired powetrain in order to be able to harvest the needed electrical...

You posted about this on Jan 5 and did not respond to troubleshooting assistance given.

What does the entire truck weigh presently? That will determine what Cummins engine will be best suited. Also, is the transfer case attached to the transmission as in the online Transmatic pictures? Not many Allison transmissions are set up like that, most drive a stand alone transfer case...

Rails up?, now you are replacing the rails too. (LOL) The saying is in the restoration biz "The only part of the car I could use was the shadow".

The USMC cut those off because someone figured out they are not load rated. Not answering your question though. I would stop by a heavy duty truck spring shop and have them make a pair for you.

Looking a pictures of the transmission on Google images, it would appear that the ZF has some form of DIN German bellhousing. Truck engines made in the US have what is called a SAE bellhousing which is non-metric. I suspect you will have trouble mating the SAE bellhousing with a DIN...

See if the circuit breaker holds in stop light position. If so, a short circuit has occurred in the marker and headlight wiring. See if the breaker holds if you switch to high beam, that would eliminate the tail and marker light circuits.

Interested!

Most likely linkage is out of adjustment preventing the transfer lock from engaging.

Truck's gonna need a lot of love to be roadworthy. Is a 61 year old gas powered compressor truck the deuce you've always wanted? You know they have trouble with maintaining 45 mph.

Southern Automotive has a nice MRAP voltmeter on ebay.

Suggestion: revisit the chicken coop and look high and low for the pto shafts, chances are they may still be on a workbench.

Your truck had the 100 amp charging system installed as evidenced by the cut out in the core support, that meant it was a radio shelter carrier when the Army had it.
