Good luck with the install. I'm guessing you'll be able to feel it in the truck too. I had a friend put a S250 in a M101 and he said it felt like towing a parachute :)

I just checked them. They are were still shiney so didn't see a need to go any further. It could have just been a matter of one of them vibrating a little out of the slot and not making a good connection. I went through the whole panel and made sure no other ones were tripped and all seated well.

I actually just pulled the ones associated with the TM Troubleshooting guide. I will follow your suggestion going forward though. I'm hoping to keep electrical issues to a minimum as that's definitely not one of my strong suits.

Tail lights were an easy fix. Just followed the -10 troubleshooting section which looked first at circuit breakers CB 43, CB 44, and CB 67. All looked okay but I still pulled them out, checked for corrosion, then reinstalled them. Bingo! Tail lights are now working.

I was able to get one thing knocked off the list before having to head to town today. The driver seat back was trashed. The covering was completely rotted off and the foam was disintegrating. The middle jump seat appeared to be new but is missing the mount brackets and since I don't foresee...

Welcome and congrats on your new acquisition!

Simple and easy is just replacing it. Of course finding one usually isn't simple and easy.

Thanks! I've used them in the past on woodworking projects. The problem here is that not just the knob is missing but the attach point is broken off flush with the slide mechanism. There is no place to attach any thing.

It looks good. The only problem I see is it has my tailgate :)

Looks great!

I've been spending the day recovering from the recovery so didn't get much done other than look at the truck. I have identified some deficiencies that weren't really obvious from the poor GovPlanet photos. It was nice to see all of the door handles, both inside and outside, were there and...

A few things I learned after actually getting the truck: 1) even 3 car lengths back of the M1078 with the windows up and the AC blasting you can STILL hear the fan kick on 2) the troop seats are plastic - no wonder they broke 3) even in a hard rain you can drive with the windows down and not...

I wanted to take this opportunity to publically thank NDT for all his help in the recovery of my M1078. Not only did he drive from south of Houston, TX to Ft Polk, LA in a monsoon to tow the vehicle to his shop but then he spent over a month diagnosing and repairing a plethora of issues from a...

Slightly recovered from the recovery. We're up to 24 pages of this thread and it just made it into the driveway 12 hours ago. Here are some more pics. 1) Proud new owner getting to sit in his truck for the very 1st time 2) Getting ready to swap out the 1 bad tire. It went pretty quick with 3...

After 13 hours on the road finally safe and sound at home (well actually headed out to supper). Only glitch is the tail lights aren't working. Brake and turns are fine but no tail lights.

Driver change in Shiner, TX. Brewery closed for the day so no free samples. Cruising at 55MPH with no problems. The pedal is extremely stiff so after several hours my leg was starting to give out. At 55 and 82 degrees out the fan kicks in about every 2 minutes.

Congrats on the new toy. I'm actually picking mine up tomorrow.

Also got the water pump belt today. So I am fully belted for tomorrow. Hopefully won't need to swap any out on the way home.

Crow's feet wrenches help a little bit but it is a PITA.

Everything will likely go in the tool box. After the catastrophic failure of belts and engine replacement in the Gama Goat I'm not going to be caught with my pants down again (get it "belt" "pants down" that's a joke son).
