I would be more worried about the front tire alignment, looks like the front right has a lot of positive camber, save those tires!

Glad it cleared, however it's just going to do it again at the worst possible time. It sucks but I would drain and remove the tank and boil it out. I used Marine Clean from por 15. I heated the tank on a coleman stove with the solution inside, rolled it around the yard a while and repeated...

I also would spend some time making sure the pickup tube in the tank is clear. According to an article I have in my archives the tube has no filter on the end and sits about 1/2" above the bottom of the tank. Depending on how clean/dirty your tank is it may be clogged. In the article they...

The information on the fuel pump is in the engine TM, not the regular shop TM's.

The fuel pump has drain holes in the bottom, the manual makes mention of this and stated if fuel is leaking from them the seals have perished. Just like a weep hole in the bottom of a water pump dripping indicating a seal has gone bad.

Manual says 45-70 psi @1800 rpm.

I was mistaken on the wire identification, after looking closer at the picture the wire that was loose is the + connection, the smaller wire with the Packard connector is the sense wire. Still same outcome as reported before, no fault of the electrical system will cause your engine to run...

I don't think it would damage either, the worst it might do is arc weld the stud a little bit.

The 3-53 requires no power to stay running, it's all mechanical, once the starter gets her going it doesn't care about power. That wire is the sense wire for the alternator, it tells the alternator to "turn on". Being loose it may have been turning the alternator on and off causing the engine...

Interesting that if you go here you can buy a kit direct from Uncle, you can even add it to your Amazon account. http://store.armyproperty.com/products/vehicle-sign-kit-replacement-kit-nsn-9905-00-565-6268.html

I have a 3 ring binder from a retired motor pool mechanic who was a big fan of the Goat. It contains every PS magazine article ever published on the goat, also every known article published in the various military vehicle magazines. My plan is to publish a goat book with them. Must be 200+...

That location above the fuel tank is the correct location for the M11, although it is tight as you say. Be careful on that fender mounted one, don't catch your shoe on it and take a header! Actual footage of Operation Urgent Fury shows the MERDC painted goat with a yellow bridge plate...

Mark, those fender skirts were a local commander authorized modification, my PS magazine archive has the dope.

Looks good, great job on the pattern.

Good start on the paint, did you ever fix your transfer case ?

Too bad about the tires, any take off winch kits?

Nice haul, were the tires on the carriers any good?

There is transfer case troubleshooting in the -34 TM, but it does sound like something is worn allowing it to slip out. There is a thread here on another member changing one out with some pictures, might be worth taking a look at. The worst part about these machines is the one off drive train...

Good job, thanks for the AAR.

Have a safe trip, look forward to the AAR.
