Thanks for commenting. Stay tuned, we have some things planned for the future if we can get it all put together. I think a lot of people are really going to like it.

@@armedforcesmuseumgreenvill810 you’re very welcome, sir. I absolutely look forward to it.

Its horrible. Thanks for the comment and watching.

Go ahead

I believe the bomb to be an MK-15, it had no identification markings on it when I got it. They were used mainly by the Navy starting in the 40's, they had different models starting with the MK-15 then the MK-15 model 2,3,4 etc. I don't know when or if they stopped using them. I know they filled them with sand or water and they had a firing pin in the nose, there are 5 tubes exiting the body inside fins, the center tube runs all the way through to the firing pin, on impact it would detonate the "signaling device" so where it hit could be seen by both pilot and observer. Thanks for commenting!!!

Thank you.

We very much appreciate the comments, wish more people would. And yes our ages cover every decade from late 30's to mid 80's

The Fuel gage stopped working, haven't had time to fix it.

Been a long time coming!

Ever in the area, stop in. All of us are definitely there and together on every 3rd Saturday of the month.

Thanks for the comments, wish more would. Glow plug controller is brand new. All plugs have been checked and bad ones replaced. I used to have the adapter for the compression tester that screwed in the injector hole but Ive lost it. We used it to check engines without glow plugs. The ends of seven injectors were wet and left a mess on my table, I think I only showed them in the Video after I had wiped them off and cleaned them up a bit because I was putting them back in the boxes for the core charge and didn't want to return them a mess, the parts guy is a personal friend. At last the fuel pump. I have a deep suspicion the seal is bad in the fuel pump causing the oil intrusion, the pump has already been changed but I think the previous owner might have starved it of fuel. I just started with the injectors because it might solve 2 problems and they are relatively cheap. Probably would have changed them out anyway because I want to give the museum a dependable truck, and with it having the 6.5 it kinda ties in with the legacy of the 6.2 and 6.5 of the old CUCV and Humvee. Right now though it's electrical gremlins. When I brought the truck home several things were not working, started searching, wasn't getting proper voltage on signal wires etc. Plugged 2 scanners into the port, no reading from the ECM. Bought a new one, plugged it in, everything worked, found the fuel delivery problems. Disconnected the batteries, changed the injectors, hooked everything back up, now nothing works again and the check engine light flashes and fades and no start and the scanner will not detect the ECM. So now it's down at Bobs, in a proper shop. He can track down if it really is the ECM and if so what's popping them, at 200 dollars a pop, the one that's in there now is only a month old. Long winded I know, I am just stating all this so others in the future might be able to get some help with this, when we discover the problem, it and the cure will be on a future video. Thanks again for commenting and encourage others to do so!!!!! MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks for commenting. I love the sound that thing makes, there is nothing else like it. No matter what's going on, it turns everyones head when that truck fires up.

I'm not a Humvee expert, maybe somebody could jump in here and clarify. It's my understanding that the early 9 series was all mechanical, but the later series had some kind of central controlling device. Thats when the big round plug appeared for connecting the STE/ICE devices. All though I do believe you are correct, that the injection pump itself does not have electronic control, the actual timing procedure is close to the same, other than you don't have to satisfy a computer and you can't look at a screen to see the actual timing.

Oh, and thanks for the response!!!! This is why we ask for comments. If we are saying something incorrect, we want to pass accurate information along. WE like to learn new things.

Come join us, 3rd Saturday every month.

This months meeting date has been moved to the 27th

Here is the info as I know it and was told; As a whole you're right, with 380,000 dodges being built for the war, but there were only 1284 WC16s built. Also if you look closely you will notice ours has a round top windshield with a split glass. Now most with round tops have solid glass, the split glass is in square top windshields. One other thing you can't really tell from the video is ours has the first body style with the narrow and high sill doors. The later versions had a larger, wider opening that also went down closer to the floor boards. Out of the 11 Recon/command car variants only the WC8 had fewer units built (548) compared to the highest being the WC56 (21,156). With this info, 1 out of 1284, the info above, and the unknown question, how many survived the war and time, you can decide the rarity.

Sorry I forgot to add, I would consider your WC41 Rare considering there were only 39 of the A variants and 306 of the B variants ever built.

Thanks for commenting. When people ask me why I do this I tell them a story that happened a few years ago. I had a friend who had a 42 Harley WLA, I had it at a show with some other vehicles. A 90+ year old man was walking down the other side of the street on a walker, saw the bike, threw the walker, RAN to the bike, threw his leg over the bike and stood it up! Now that is one of few of the do not touch pieces. Instead of telling him to get off, I let him sit there a bit then asked "you know something about these?" He stated "during the war I was a Navy Beach Master, and we unloaded thousands of these things in France, well I stole one, painted it battleship gray and rode that thing all over France. Best time of my life!" At that moment that guy was 18, 19, 20 years old again. The personal stories I get is huge part of why I do this. The people may go but their stories live on. Happy you shared and got to remember some old memories.

Thanks for commenting, I don't know why it's locked up, but it's funny. Maybe we need to get in there and make sure it's really brake fluid.

Thanks for the reply, we know what it is, we were merely making fun of it. It does look more like a fuel fired heater though, for personal.

No we are not.

What is Lucas electrics, we know absolutely nothing about this?

Lucas made electrical parts for many English cars for years. Lucas was known as the prince of darkness for the lack of reliability of their components...........Jay

Love watching y’all revive the old vehicles next time I come through Greenville I’ll come bye see if your open

Ah, good to know, and that's another reason why we ask for comments. We learn things too!

We are there every 3rd Saturday of the month after 10:30am, guaranteed. Other then that its hit and miss. Best way to know is contact through Email. @@sid6749

Sorry I didn't get back sooner, it is 6 volt positive Ground.

I know, right. The Eight Track was broken that day,

Thanks for the comments! The longer we ran it that day the better it got. We have a plan to deal with that.

Thank you very much! Hope you enjoyed watching

I've often heard the stories of how the CTIS is junk but honestly mine has been totally fine and my buddy has it too and his has been fine as well. I had a solenoid that was sticking which was about a 10 minute job to fix and now I am replacing hoses that are 12+ years old, so I can't complain. Other than that if I leave it sit for a long period of time the pressures between the axles will get way out of equalization and the controller starts flashing the five lights, you hit the HWY and EMER buttons at the same time and the system starts working again till the pressures equalize and then it switches back to normal all on its own. THANKS for the comments, wish more people would engage and thanks for watching.

Yeah, you don't have one? Bob was just being goofy.

Im afraid that's all I can show, the only other video I have contains individuals who do not want to be shown on RUclips. There is another video on our Chanel that's similar in a Cobra gunship.

I have owned the truck for 10+ years. The truck has pulled or hauled everything I have ever asked it to. Other than the CTIS system, it's been trouble free. Just keep it maintained. I have driven it in over 6' deep water, muddy fields, and deep drifting snow, so it's gone everywhere I have asked. Now pros and cons, that would really be each individual specific. Example, every part on this thing is big and heavy, I have the means and facilities to deal with it, or storage, it's a big truck, again, I have the space, the next guy may not. In the video I did discuss the three biggest things I see most often, starting procedure, fuel shut off and brake override, the only thing I probably should have discussed was DON'T put it in reverse if you have it in low range, you will destroy the T-case. What people don't realize is this truck was in development since the 1950's starting with the REO's and progressively improved over the years through the late 90's early 2000's, so by the time the 900 series came out they were pretty rugged and dependable.

Also thanks for your comments, keep watching, we are in the early stages of what we want to accomplish with these videos. We have ideas where we want to go, but first we have to get some of the other stuff out of the way, like making them run.

Thanks for the comments, we try!!!!!!

Thanks for the feed back

Thanks for your response, we like to hear from experts. Our truck has 3 timing marks on it and yes we did use the LDT mark. The whole fuel system on this truck was in really bad shape. The tank was full of tar and white and green ooze. The lines and filters had this white gunk in them, what you don't see on the videos is the hours and days spent cleaning it out. You are only seeing a small part of what took months. I try to keep the videos short so people will watch them. We had several issues priming the truck and holding prime. I don't want to say much more, there are more videos coming out, and I don't want to give away the endings. As for the heat, the truck at that point had been sitting in near 0 temps and a couple days in negative temps for several days, that building has no heat and I bring a couple torpedo heaters from home, we stand in front of them with them blowing on us and its not too bad working, but that night I put the one on the truck to give it every advantage. The truck, and batteries by that point had been deep frozen for several days. Yes you are correct about the FDC, all we were trying to convey is, its part of the multi fuel setup and it was bypassed. We didn't know if it had been done correctly, we were chasing down fuel system issues and working backwards through the whole system, where we had fuel, where we didn't and why, as stated above, ooze, tar, gunk, blockages, air leaks, filters, seals, etc. Please watch the next few videos and tell us how we did. We are not experts, but we try.

That is a Land Rover in the Background. I don't know much about it since there does not appear to be any data tags on it. I do know it is ex military, and it does have troop seats in the back. One of these days we might try getting it out an have a go at it. Will it start, drive, all that good stuff.

Let me know if I can help with any questions, I will try.

@@armedforcesmuseumgreenvill810 yeah, do you have any parts available 🤣🤣🤣

No, I’m afraid not. I’m lucky in the fact mine is pretty complete and in pretty good shape.@@noobmcgoob9745

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately we are not in NC or we would take you up on that offer. The fuze was fine, but the pump and everything was a huge mass of pucky. The whole fuel system was full. It has sat for years with fuel in it. The old fuel wouldn't even burn under open flame. We will have to look Saturday when we are there, at the marks. I know about the Jackshaft trick but since the cooling system needs flushed and changed anyway we went ahead and pulled the radiator.

I also tried to find the link to DM you but I couldn't find one. You can Email me direct on the link under the about tab. Thats a direct link to me, doesn't sign you up for anything, no spam or mail lists or anything like that.

One of our members has a machine, kinda like a CNC machine that will cut new gaskets out of a roll or sheet of gasket material.

@@armedforcesmuseumgreenvill810 is there a place to get gasket dimensions, or how did get correct size and fit

You have to have parts of the gasket to scan it in or design one, kind of like a Cad design software.

Send me an email link and I will ask for more specifics or may even get permission to show it in a future video. Since it doesn't belong to me or the museum I'll have to ask.

What fun would that be?

Geez.

Thanks for the comment. We have a very small budget so we make do with what we have.

@@armedforcesmuseumgreenvill810 Understood, it's a suggestion. Maybe someone has one they could donate. Just putting it out there for your viewers.

@@marcfournier823 Thanks for the plug.

This pump was pumping fuel and it was still loud.

Not sure what you're calling a bathtub antrax? Do you mean the weasel? If that's what you're talking about stay tuned, there will be a video on that coming.

Yeah that's probably it and I couldn't get a good look at it cuz you were filming next to it with the Jeep yeah I saw that thing in the background I fell in love with it I like all man I want that but yeah that's probably what I was looking at good luck God bless

Ok. Yes that is called an M29C Weasel. They were made by Studebaker during WWII. I'm hoping to get to it this spring. I think this one had a very interesting history. Stay tuned, we will talk about it in that video.
