Ohm out all 8 glow plugs and report the results. This is resistance from the glow plug terminal to ground with the wire disconnected. If some or all are open, well there you go.

When I went on the Stewart and Stevenson factory tour back in the 90's, the test track driver took us on a 30 degree side slope and explained that one of the qc checks was to look in the mirror and make sure the fuel cap did not leak. Maybe he missed yours?

What does she wish to do with it? Members of the military vehicle hobby have preserved these trucks and proudly display them at public gatherings and conventions of like minded enthusiasts. This model truck is not the most popular as it does not have all wheel drive.

Looking good. Let me know if the old cab & remnants or the front skid plate in the picture become available. (needing that!)

What are you referring to about poor reliability of the 3116? Totally untrue.

Sorry man, that light is for a HET not a FMTV. But you can adapt it. Thread on doing that here already.

If still the factory engine, it's could be a GEP, but possibly a leftover GM from 1999.

PDP is power distribution panel in front of co-driver. No surprise the engine does not fire if the ignition will not turn on. Sounds like you got the battery connections wrong.

24 and 12 volts present at the PDP power points? Instruments and trans selector come up when you power on the ignition?

Most auto parts stores will let you borrow one for free.

1966 would have been Kaiser Jeep. Same facility as AM General. The Texas Title is wholly focused on the VIN, having the manufacturer wrong will not prevent a future transfer. You can fix that by filing a 130-U and checking "corrected vehicle description ".

Nope, find the "deuce" forum. Plenty of shop van owners there.

The truck's serial number IS the VIN, that is correct. You could "back into" the contract number by finding a M109 of the same year as yours and recording the information from the main data plate.

4H1420 is the Army registration number that someone scribed in the wrong field on your replacement data plate. The registration number is the US Armed Forces equivalent of a civilian license plate number. It is unique to your truck, and would also be painted on the hood up until the MERDEC...

Have to agree with the courageous comment. A suggestion, always completely disassemble a vehicle if you are doing a thorough sandblast. Also, you are doing an amazing job with the skimcoat, but that is supposed to happen after you are done with all welding. You're going to burn up your work.

I think someone posted another cause of this is the check valve behind the front bumper being stuck.

I run a 1" Ingersoll Rand impact gun using 1/2" hose from the emergency glandhand all the time. Compressor keeps up with it no prob. Cute Milwaukee tools? Dont think so.

Welcome, truck looks good and seems to run fine. Looks like Uncle tried and gave up fixing the brakes. You need some tires, member simp5782 will be heading to Houston soon with a load of tires for me, contact him for a great deal on some MV/Ts. I'm down in League City if you get stuck fixing...

Looks like a GM 6.5. GEP started manufacturing the 6.5 in 2002ish, that was rebuilt in '09, likely a GM engine. I kinda doubt you can find an LS and switch over a slew of accessories for what you can buy a runtested pull out GEP 6.5 for.
