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...
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Welcome! Ciao!
Did you try searching in the G503 database:
G503 Serial Number Database
I tried to find your chassis number but had no luck. To attempt to estimate your hood number, you can use the database like this:

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.
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.
Sorry nobody has chimed in. This problem has been discussed here. Here is a thread:
M923 Brake Leak | SteelSoldiers
There are more threads, search "leak" by member "simp5782", he is the resident expert on the air system on 900's. Maybe PM him.
Highly unlikely that changing fuel filters would cause the engine to become hydrostatically locked. Are you sure the starter is getting plenty of juice?
