I've seen them with the wires just installed into the towers on the mil distributor, seemed to work just fine.

lets see 6.2 liter "J code" motor TH400 transmission Model 208 transfer in the M1008, M1008A1, M1009,M1010,M1028, M1028A3 Model 205 W/PTO provision transfer in the M1028A1,M1028A2, M1031 M1008 = 5/4 ton cargo M1008A1= 5/4 ton cargo w/ commo kit M1009 = 3/4 ton utility (Blazer) M1010 = 5/4 ...

convoy lights were added under the commanders authority, there were general guide lines but no written standard (at least for the army) each unit installed them with whatever materials they had on hand. Most wreckers that I operated we installed two rotators at the back of the cab, most of the other...

And just a thought, in the motor pool we replaced the nuts and bolts with whatever was available through the local supply system.

When I was stationed in Germany, we had a "labor service" bridge maintenance unit in the motor pool next to us, they had an M201 they used as a contact truck, it was still going strong when I left in 79.

I'll third the coil and add, Is the heat shield missing from the fuel pump or a fuel line routed close to the exhaust manifold? Could be vapor lock, after sitting at idle there isn't much air flow under the hood and things could be getting a bit hot, Check for spark if that is present, check for fue...

I've used these guys in the past to rebuild my M38 fuel pump, they didn't have a kit for it so I had to send in to them took about a week and it looked new when I received it back!

A little over 1 1/2 tons, the trailer usually pulled is the M101 series when loaded to allowable highway load (1 ton) the trailer will weigh about 3200LBS

The STA's are what the military issues in place of the ndt 9.00X16 tire, at least the last time I ordered some that's what I received. Seem to be a good enough tire.

The lights I used were rated for 24V, I think that 12V LED lights would be over driven and burn out rapidly.

I tow my M101 with both my mil trucks ( M37 & M880) and my Ford expo, I used military LED taillights and they work great on both 24V and 12V! that way there is only one set of lights and one pigtail to worry about. I fabbed up an extra mil socket to connect into the expo I don't see any reason i...

Sounds like a grounding issue! Check the ground wire on that side!

The M880 318 (and the rest of the truck) ran off of 12V, some of the series did have an added 24V system to run military radios and RATT rigs, if you can find the 24V system alternator bracket it would make installing the generator easier, IMHO I would think it would be easier to do a complete 12V c...

Well I'll add some more personal experiance here, NEVER EVER mix the two fluids, it WILL cause problems. Now some background on why I can say this. I was a Motor Sergeant in the Army when we made the switch to the silicon brake fluid (BFS) from the old DOT-3 (HB) brake fluids, my experiance was a dr...
