    Brake Light not working one side

    There are 2 threaded holes on the back of the light with a flat bar between them and the ground wire under one of the bolts. If I remember correctly the mounting bar (as its called in he manual ) is what supplies ground to both bolts. do you have the mounting bar in place?

    Q:Where to place a fuel cut-off valve?

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Years ago I built an air system from an AC compressor, It worked well but -- I found that I had to use a York Compressor ( it has it's own crank case and oil level) Had to remove the head and drill a drain back hole in the case so it would not pump oil out of the crank case. This was 30 + years...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    I have seen sheared pinions but only in things with much more horsepower than a HMMWV could dream of. If it is the input i would bet its more likely the yoke got lose and stripped out it's splines. with that in mind if the diff turns when you turn the pinion I would look at the output flanges...
