Dashboard mods are now in motion. I hate the current gauge placement so I purchased a template from an old International. I like the form. Now I need to tweak the fit. I will use this pattern but square it off. I plan to reposition gauges in front of the steering wheel. I anticipate the speedo...

Later years have coolers for engine oil, tranny fluid, and power steering fluid. Older years have a separate power steering cooler with a combination engine oil and tranny fluid cooler. I am splitting into three aftermarket units eventually. Power steering and tranny are low pressure. Engine...

Which is leaking? My Project Joshua M1165 thread discussed bypassing the engine oil cooler and will later show my new aftermarket unit. Long story short, I had a 24” hose made to accept the oil cooler hose fittings. I then coiled the hose and stuffed it out of the way. Leak is bypassed and...

As posted on my Project Joshua M1165 log, spent the last five days filling missing fluids, purging air, and bypassing the oil cooler. Did this all “free range”. Healthier mechanic garages yield healthier rigs according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Automobiles.

Transmission light comes on, and I can shift into reverse, 1, 2. Then nada. I see my future… RTFM https://gear-report.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Supplement_7_4L80E-Transmission_Troubleshooting.pdf Still, awesomely successful trip to visit Eric and work on my ECV. This is just a minor...

Trans light is great. Shifting, not so much. Shifts reverse well. Shifts first and second, then stops. I will RTFM Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. My M1165 is not shifting so I guess I need to start testing and such. Let the good times roll.

I cut off the connectors and attached small size battery cable alligator type clamps

Joshua is alive! Hubs are tight. All were drained of fluid by Uncle Sam’s mentally challenged red headed stepchild. Refilling sucks. One had a missing drain plug. Eric had spares! Tire had to come off as that plug is at an angle. Power steering needed much more fluid. Bled system with Eric by...

Do it. Be careful drilling the box. I suggest removing the cover first.

If you place a vent you won’t be able to safely ford waterways.

She is a runner! Warmer. Engine started. Sounds great Power steering bled. About to check the hubs. Pictures later. Back to work.

I will also confirm my NOCO 3 does just fine with batteries in series.

So, a day of frustration but progress just the same. Working with Eric is always great It’s cold. Engine won’t start,,, so I tested the glow plugs. Only a few are good. Can’t find my glow plug tool or working glow plugs so I get to purchase AGAIN. Pumpkins were dry, refilled. Killed the...

Eric came up with a brilliant plan… we had a bypass made for the oil cooler. Gonna run the truck now

Eric Hummer H1 and I got a lot done today! Fun times!! Rear brake line, replaced. Front brake line that was unscrewed was rescrewed. Brakes bled. (Yes, DOT-5). Transmission fluid refilled. Dextrin III Xfer case refilled. Dextran III Power steering topped up. Dextran III Missing directional...

Hummer H1 just posted pics of just this swap

Flying to Commiefornia to work on the old girl. Guess I’m excited. More pics to come….

I guess it is the Buscemi wire. Can you hear me now?

Mogman and I both purchased former millitary 24V compressors meant for jet airplane fuel delivery. Each unit comes with two 24V heavy duty air compressors. They are AWESOME!!!
