The water pump pulley getting pulled from both directions is probably why your passenger alternator was still installed. Here is a video about the power steering tool: I put the tool on upside down because I couldn’t figure out how to film and hold it the correct way. Then I forget to...

Put me on the list.

They make a lot of noises that take a while to get used to what is normal and what isn’t. Are you wearing hearing protection? That is a must and also makes things sound totally different. Do you have good oil pressure? Look at your hood hinges at idle. They tend to get loose and bounce like...

OK. I just read through 4 different tow bar TM’s from the 1960’s to the 1990’s. They all say to put the “foot” curve up for towing with all the wheels on the ground. However, for the HMMWV only when lifting and towing they show it mounted curve side down as you have it. I must have confused a...

Turn the feet over before you actually tow with it. I have seen pictures on this site of broken bits and all the TM’s say don’t run with the towbar feet upside down like they are in the picture.

Temple would be very nice. Yours is looking very good.

Reading this it finally dawned on me. My M715 is going to go from the only m715 that sometimes shows up every few years at club events. To a very ugly duckling. I’m going to have to tell my truck about your progress. It may never run again. Looking good. The humids came back this morning with...

Looking good. This ”cooler” weather sure does feel hot in the afternoons the last week or so.

What about a long wheelbase M36? Or are the roads too tight for that?

Could you use a container dolly and tow it?

Fuel hose, fuel sender wire, tank straps then the filler hose from the side. I have dropped my tank many times.

I am pretty sure I had all LED big bucket lights at all 4 corners on my M715 before I painted it and went correct for it small bucket lights. The blinkers worked. But, that has been 18 years. I know I had LED buckets on my 35A2 before I got tired of them failing one diode at a time and went...

I don’t have a HMMWV. But, the same parts are used on my M35 and M715 trucks for the blinker system. Your “new” blinker box is almost broken is my thought. My M715 unit does just as you describe. If you leave it on for a few minutes, it might start blinking like normal. At least mine does...

Here is a video with both types of starter motors. The proper starter motor bolts. Both types of support brackets and the proper numbers of the brackets:

I put a NV4500 behind a 6.2 in my M715 12 years ago. I could not find a proven workable mechanical clutch throw out collection of parts at the time. I have not looked since then, but my hours of vehicle related internet time every day has revealed nothing on this subject. 2 things to add...

Yes, the firewall glow plug resistor can smoke during use. Here is a video about things that can go wrong with the resistor and things that can be bad if you bypass it: I would suggest you load test both batteries. If you don’t have a tester, pull them both and take them to an auto parts...

Check the connections on the firewall Buss bar. However, it reads like your starter might be the issue. Also, you shouldn’t have to wait to drive the truck after cold start up. Something with your injection pump or injection pump timing or maybe idle speed isn’t correct.

Since the gear only bolts on one way to the IP. You can turn the crankshaft all you want.

The first picture shows evidence of an electrical arc. Did you do that? The dash wiring picture shows you have several wires cut. I hate to write this because I have done this job twice. But, a new front wiring harness swap might be where you are headed. I see 5 cut wires and you mentioned...

Follow the positive wire from the battery tray. It should go to the starter motor. The number 10 wire mentioned above should come from the starter motor or a connection on the engine hidden by the air filter. Verify voltage along the way and keep following through the firewall until you have no...
