That is the ballast resistor for the glow plug system, drops 24v to 12v when the glow plug relay in energized, looks like it's getting hot at that connection.
Today's project was installing the M792 folding step on the tailgate. These only left the factory on the M792 ambulance version for ease of patient access. I always try and offer the most correct information I can here so others can use the information on their restoration.
So I contacted...
Water pump replacement was the project this weekend. You can see on the old pump the trail of crud coming out the weep hole, been that way since I got it. Getting the old pump out is quite a chore, the two back bolts are only reachable after you unbolt the motor mount bracket. I thought the...
I proudly vote for my brothers M38, willy10. It was a frame off restoration with no detail over looked, several years in the making. When not involved in parades, veterans activities or rallies it sits in the local museum so all can appreciate it, good job!.
First one in a SINCGARS mounting base, second is a DAGR mount(GPS), I also see a GPS antenna down next to the breaker box. Not sure about the third bracket, the GRC-142 shelter I had also shared AC/DC power, just the way they did it.

Lots of measuring and it is installed, the wire around the lever is a safety catch included in the hardware kit, prevents the pto lever from being engaged by accident. Next project is ready to go.
I would think before you put the glass in the channel you could carefully squeeze it tighter making the channel narrower so just the rubber will hold it.
Thank you papabear/patracy for taking the time to administer the poll. Would also like to thank all the Steel Soldiers members who have supported the project as without them I could not have completed it. Mkcoen, was my inspiration for finding and restoring one and without him I would not have...
