Default M915, M916, M917, M920 Melted wipper indicators. LOOK in here :-)

Look what I found after doing some hunting . Most of us that have these trucks there either missing or melted . I found after a day of making phone calls NOS indicators ( Lens, bulb, base, the entire assy) and convince the company to add a link for us guys who would like them . Here is the link they don't have a ton of stock and when its gone its gone. E-Lites - Gov't Parts

This posting was a life saver. I've spent days scouring the internet for these indicators with no luck, to include calling every military parts supplier I know. Though expensive, they are on order.

I've also had to replace the headlight/dimmer switch. This too could not be located through military part suppliers. As a last ditch effort, I took it to my local auto parts dealer and found the exact replacement - Carquest 53-22424. The switch was $20.00.

I was going to say add M918 to the list but I've never seen one, only TM pics... I wonder how many were actually produced, for all of them for that matter. Would be nice to know actual numbers.

The link below is to the Allison transmission website. The link give the number of transmissions made for military wheeled vehicles. I'm not sure if Allision transmissions were used exclusively??

Wheeled Vehicles: Military: Allison Transmission

I suggest removing it and going to a Carquest or Napa dealer - that's how I found the exact match for mine.

When are these indicators supposed to light? None of mine light up when the button above is pushed, nor do they light up when the dash lights are on.
