Congratulations!!!

Nice looking truck. It looks pretty complete. There are several other threads about the civilian filter numbers and what fluids to use. Hint: Buy a lot of 15w-40 diesel oil.

I spent a lot of time in Long Beach while I was a contact software developer. We were developing software for tracking the ocean shipping containers.

I also fixed two blue air hoses that were cracked and leaking. I have no idea what they are for because the truck worked fine even though they were leaking. They are next to the power steering reservoir under the hood.

BTW, this is what the top hatch is for.

I replaced the air hoses for the driver's air ride seat. I replaced the switch but the air hoses would pop off sometimes so I replaced them both with new.

I was poking around the other day and I found an emissions sticker on the engine. GP says there is no emissions sticker so maybe this one is not "official". To be official, maybe it needs to list the amount of pollution or something. Anyway, if you are in a state were emissions are required, you...

Here is the link to the product on Amazon. I bought 25 feet and did not use most of it. So if anybody needs some and you are in the neighborhood, I will give it to you free! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0191KFJ7I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My gunner's hatch gasket was all worn out so I have been looking for the proper replacement for months. I finally gave up and found one that is really close. Here is a photo of them both. Old one (OEM) on the left, new one on the right. The foot or so of the old one is the only section that...

Chrisross, I suggest putting some cleaner additive in the fuel. Diesel does not last forever and can gum up. I dumped a can of Seafoam in my truck when I picked it up and now it runs good. I also put in additive every time I add fuel. I use Stanadyne.

How much for the ladder?

I do not know where the solenoid is but I am betting it is inside the tranny. I checked the parts list for tranny parts and they only show a couple. I think that is because if anything is wrong they replace the entire unit.

Intel, Glad to hear you fixed it! BTW, I too had problems with the circuit breakers and I took all of mine out. I replaced with fuses and now I have less problems and I have not blown a single fuse.

Here are some part numbers from Oshkosh. Not sure which is for the 7 Ton. 2540010864180 1758020 WIPER ARM,LH 2540014745934 3290149 ARM,ARC,WIPER 2540015369878 2KP880 ARM, WIPER 2540015555750 3698244 KIT,CAB WIPER ASSY 2540015660593 19KP661 WIPER ASSEMBLY 2540015754980 3782869 PIVOT...

I needed to do some repairs to my cab and it required reducing it. So I thought I would make a video about the process too. The video could be better but at least you can get the idea. This is what it looks like when it is done.

Well, I hope you do not have problems but if you do and you are close the Salt Lake City, give me a call. I have a bunch of parts and lots of experience with MTVRs.

You are correct. The brakes lights work if the battery switch is on but the "ignition switch" in the cab is off. I never knew that.

I never tried the brakes with just the battery switch on. Let me run out and see right now. I am curious to see what happens.

Sure, they are listed in the classifieds. 10 x Tires and rims - Michelin 16.00R20 XZL Tires w/ Wheels & CTIS parts, 10% tread $250 8 x rims without CTIS parts and no rim bolt nuts, Titan 05-14630-00 $85 Jon

I drove to the desert again to warm up the transmission and see if dumping some Seafoam Trans tune in will help with the transmission shifting. When I got back I thought I would check all the temps and then record them for others to check out. I am not saying these are normal but some people...
