How do you know it's new? If I bought new axles I'd put the old ones in the shipping box for storage.

Thanks! My Tech ticket had less than a year left, and it's been slow around the office, so I started studying for General. That went so well (and knowing they would offer me the Extra exam when I passed) I figured I'd look over the 700 questions in the pool for Extra; at least go in armed...

I drove my M1009 down to the firehouse in Port Orchard this weekend and upgraded my amateur radio license from Tech, to General, and then to Extra.

I have two of those; one mounted on the dashboard radio bracket and one mounted to the aft side of the center console. Still nothing where the fire bottle is supposed to be, other than a clamp for the giant wire bundle going into the center console.

My new dash pad is still in the box in the garage. Can't decide if I should install it as-is, which is black, or paint it to match the mil interior.

That happened on Bangor Trident base in Silverdale. The cop shack is up that road.

As mentioned, those are part of the wiper circuit that the previous owner disconnected because they slow the wipers. You don't need them. People are pulling out in front of you because they dread getting stuck behind you. It's something you'll need to get used to driving a mil truck. ;-)

I can see better out the front, so to me that's better. 4Low is chock-full of torque as it is. If the truck doesn't have enough torque in 4Low going forward to do the job, you need a bigger tow vehicle.

In a straight pull, yes. But if the user puts a snatch-block out at the anchor and loops back to the shackle on the other side, it would be pretty much centered. No? I don't think the tire is blocking the radiator, it looks like there's almost a foot of space between it and the grille. The...

After reading through all this I went out and cleaned all the wiper related connections under the hood and got my wipers to park themselves again. I was getting tired of manually parking them. EDIT to add: And just like that this morning they don't park themselves again. :???:

I added a relay to the accessory circuit. Using that I wired in indoor/outdoor temp sensor to the map-light bracket I put in a few weeks ago. Works with the key in RUN or ACC.

Actually I think the easiest way is to perform the troubleshooting steps in the TM. You can reach the tank wires through the wheel well on the driver's side. Mine was doing what the OP describes and after the troubleshooting from the TM I replaced the gauge and it works great to this day.

I'm of the 'ain't broke don't fix it' opinion. Just install some regular Sylvania sealed beams. They're available anywhere if one gets broken or fails, aren't expensive, and they work. You can get a little more light output by installing a relay that runs power straight off the battery. HIDs...

Drove around in the Olympics today. Stopped on the way home to pick up a craigslist score. New in the box NOS repro dash pad from Classic Car Parts. Guy had it in his attic and put it on CL for $150 so I snapped it up. Now I have to decide whether to leave it black or paint it to match the...

Thank you! It's an old cop car console; it's supposed to go up against the dashboard in a crown vic - under the heater controls. So jotto, havis, or some other supplier. I have to reach over it to yank on the 4WD lever, but it's not like I need to do that often. The faceplates for the radios...

Thanks! There is a storage box, albeit a small one, that is part of the rear of the console. It has an arm rest for my elbow. There's also a set of cup holders on the very aft end for the back seat passengers.

You don't say what sort of console you want. Here's mine. Not too much storage.

I added a NOS aircraft light to my clipboard to cast some light on the paper. It's cobbled together with a Staples cheapo clipboard, a RAM mount to the dash bracket, and now the aircraft light. It's wired through the wiper circuit so it comes on with the key. Right now the wiper circuit is...

Does anyone know which pub discusses the installation of the antenna brush guard? I finally found one that was priced like it was made out of aluminum instead of gold, and I've checked all the pubs I downloaded off this site, but don't see any install instructions. I found the antenna...
