Is the connector in the bottom middle of the dash the STE test port. What does this thing do and what plugs into it? Can I get one?

Yes, that is where the STE/ICE plugs in. The device does lots of things but dunno if it's needed. The show up on Ebay alot. Beware of missing cables, some are very hard to obtain.
 
STE/ICE is Simplified Test Equipment/Internal Combustion Engine. It is a computerized test set that provides a multitude of test readings on most Army vehicles used over the last 30 - 40 years. It will provide diagnostic information on nearly everything from the Deuce to M1A1 tanks. Many of the newer vehicles, such as the CUCVs, HUMMVS. Abrams and Bradleys have a built in diagnostic connector that provides power to the STE/ICE and connects it to transducers and sensors built into the vehicle. For older vehicles, such as the deuce, the STE/ICE comes with a suite of transducers, adapters and cables that permit the measurement of nearly every parameter from oil pressure, RPM. compression and even tire pressure. These insturements originally cost $7K - $8K. If you find one with all of the cables, adapters and transducers expect to pay at least $450 for it. This instrument must have been superseded by new equipment in the last two years because a large number of them have been auctioned off in the last 18 months or so.

The STE/ICE has been superceded by the MSD ( forgot the meaning ). The MSD is a rugged laptop that does everything the STE/ICE can do plus be able to read and troubleshoot the newer vehicles with computer controlled engine systems, ie. CAT. The computer runs about 10K by itself and has an adapter box that itnerfaces the laptop in with the STE/ICE port.

You can read about the MSD here:

FYI.. In 1975 they addded the NATO country code 01 for the US.. For FSN's already in existance, they used 00. Helps in dating a part.. 00 is prior to 1975, 01 means it's after 1975.
