    Transmission stalling engine shortly after start up - Advice?

    Very unusual. What brought you to the diagnosis of the transmission being at fault? Could the engine be dying on its own? Transmission solenoids only apply pressure to clutches etc when power is supplied to them, so you can eliminate unintended clutch operation by unplugging the transmission...

    HMMWV A2 vs A1 Starter Troubleshooting

    Suggest you get under the truck with your voltmeter and see what ya got. Do you have 24 volts at the starter? Do you have 24 volts at the solenoid when someone turns the ignition to crank?

    M35/51

    I used that same starting technique to fire up my D7-7M dozer using my M275A2 tractor, how I was not killed doing that I will never know.

    M37 engine problems

    I would first make 100% sure oil isn’t being ingested via a bad vacuum pump diaphragm or stuck crankcase vent valve.

    50s Continental TD427

    Is the pump a Bosch? A highly competent injection pump rebuilder should be able to reman it. Your oil in coolant issue could be a pinhole in the oil to water heat exchanger. The TMs for this generator exist somewhere but good luck finding them.

    which battery caused the other to die?

    Slow cranking can be caused by corrosion where cable ring terminals are connected to firewall buss bars, or corrosion between the wire and the ring terminal. Feel for very hot connections after cranking.

    which battery caused the other to die?

    The (only) nice thing about the CUCV charging system is that each battery gets its own alternator, so one battery can’t “bring down” the other as can happen on other 24 volt trucks. Agree, unless you are running a battery maintainer, 4 years is about it for a typical battery.

    PRC 10 radios

    I think you can shout farther than a PRC-10 will transmit. If it will work at all. I never had any luck getting them to work. Something about the capacitors aging out.

    Got another deuce! Winch truck, crank viewing block.

    Looks good. Appears the winch was added judging from all the colors. My 4000 lift moves deuces around exactly the same way, I also have a hitch ball in the fork in the same spot, great minds think alike.

    3D Printing tooling for M151 parts

    How many hits do you think you can get out of plastic tooling? I’m a bit pessimistic.

    Help with horn

    No that is wrong. See pic, you pry off the plastic Jeep logo center (see arrow) then screws are underneath. You may have a green plastic cap over the jeep logo.

    I messed up, fuel filter swap

    Highly unlikely that changing fuel filters would cause the engine to become hydrostatically locked. Are you sure the starter is getting plenty of juice?
