Thanks for documenting this. Talk about a lost art. At some point in this thread can you hypothesize what reduction unit components get stuck together when you have the dreaded lockup in high range.

Is your block GM or Navistar? I believe GM quit casting the 6.5 right around then.

Wanted to document this as it applies to 6.2, 6.5 engines in both CUCVs and HMMWVs. After sitting for a few months, my 6.5 TD with DB4 electronic injection would crank but not start. As we know, these IDI engines need fuel, compression, and glow to start. I knew mechanically the engine is...

Follow steps pictured.

While we are on the topic of ancient Armasafes, I JUST had a 2011 battery die after around 8 years on the maintainer. It was fine until one day the maintainer said "load present" and sure enough the battery case was warm. Voltage dropped off after a day off the maintainer. Bye old friend.

Did you click on the link, go to post 8, open supplement 7, and read page 49 about the 12 and 24 volt circuitry that is needed for the TCM to come to life?

Obtain an AGM maintainer, connect it to the dead battery. The maintainer will say "Battery is flatlined". Obtain a GOOD agm battery and connect the two batteries IN PARALLEL. (positive to positive, negative to negative). Reconnect the maintainer. This time the maintainer will see voltage...

Hello and welcome. This issue comes up a lot and most of the time, the TCM is not the problem. Wiring in and around the battery box is. Here is a thread that contains the 4L80E bible for HMMWVs, "supplement 7" M1123 transmission | SteelSoldiers

Newer Armasafes can be brought back to life. It’s a weeks long process.

I believe the rear rear on the 6x6 is the same as the rear on a 4x4. Someone who has switched their 1078 to “high speed gears” probably has the old pumpkin sitting around.

I believe these telehandlers are a militarized version of the Skytrak 6042 or 6036. I would poke my head into a United Rentals repair shop and ask if any mechanics there need beer money, they should be very familiar with these fork lifts.

Ask Wes about what they are for. When a green camo truck is traveling in the middle of the night with two tiny red tail lights and two tiny reflectors on an Autobahn at convoy speed, and a besoffen driver in a BMW comes up to them at 160 km/hr, someone is bound to die. The delineators give...

If you do a lot of Googling, you might be able to find factory original data plate images with similar dates of delivery, that will have the mfgr on it. I think the mfgr is Stevens for that year but I could be wrong. Nice trailer btw.

That is not the original, that was applied during an overhaul. The original would have the mfgr printed not stamped on it.

I did when I did this mod 25 years ago. I think it’s possible to figure it out from the Kascar or HPG website. The viscous clutch is from a 90’s Chevy 6.5 truck.
