I bought Ken Spencer's fuel filter kit. I wish I had done this sooner! You can see the mud and crap in the filter base and filter. Definitely has not been changed in a very long time. Ran the new lines that came with the kit, went with Napa 3406 and Napa 3674. 3406 is the water fuel...

Here's some snow pics

I will do that. Thank you!

Bought some lugnuts from Ken Spencer for the hemtt wheels to go on the 5 ton. They have a sleeve that goes in between the rim and the stud for some support. I also fixed my leaking radiator hose on the passenger side. When you go to the mrap rad, the mrap has a 2" diameter hole vs 2.5."...

Mounted up an external power steering filter. Didn't want to mess around with the powersteering pump so decided to bypass it and add redundancy. Went to a local hydraulic line place and got a filter base and filter. Uses a cross filter 10 micron. Had to run 3/4" npt adapters down to 1/2"...

Thank you. Bought online. Fixed my issues. They tend to fail alot. I still have a rod I insert through the strainer to see what the level is as a failsafe.

Replaced the fram trans filter with a napa. Did this when flushing with amsoil. Bought an external powersteering filter and base. Plan is to put on the return side. 10 micron filter and 3 to 4x larger than stock filter. Also found my lower radiator hose when I did the mrap swap is leaking...

Greased all the zirk fittings. What a pita that was. The trans/T case shaft is not easy. Truck is now greased. I also bled the power steering fluid and replaced fluid with amsoil powershift fluid 10wt. After looking at the power steering filter, I have decided to not take the pump apart and...

Ended up needing to remove 4 bolts on the trans side to slide the shaft back and grease the zirks. What a pita. luckily I shouldn't need to do that job again for awhile.

Gotta love fixing or dealing with peoples incompetence

Right. I just wanted to see if anyone else had something different. I bought an adapter from napa to a needle valve so I should be fine now.

I am having alot of trouble trying to grease these 4 zirk fittings on the trans/transfercase shaft. Bought a more narrow grease tip to try and get in-between the tolerances but none so far are working. Can't get a 7/16 wrench in to even loosen them to change the angle. Anyone have ideas? I...

Started working on greasing the truck. Lot of the zirks haven't seen grease in a long time. I also bought plastic zirk covers for them to keep dirt and debris out of them. Black go on one's easily exposed. I'm using blue for the suspension and red for the drivetrain. More photos to come.

Installed a new fuel sending unit for the tank. Gauge works like it should now. Used stainless Allen key head bolts because the pan screws were stripping when taking out. They are 10/32 fine thread for those wondering.

Thank you! It's a work in progress.

This is the civilian one. Just didn't post photos of it. Just of the old one I removed.

Installed a new alternator. Old one was overcharging. Tried to remove the Allen key plug and it stripped out. Decided to installa civilian one instead. Fixed my issues. Didn't want any potential damage to the abs system or control box. Best part I can go to any automated store and pick one...

You can try those military guys I looked online and found it in the US all ready and didn't wait 2 months plus. I also got a 5" to 6" exhaust adapter with one clamp and works great.

Thanks Superthernal, it is 1/8" npt to 1/4" dot line. I like the brass or metal quick connect fittings oflvrr the cheap plastic ones. You could try it and see how it goes. I know the military pressurized the trans and t case but didn't know they did the axles that way. That would be neat to try.

Went to start the truck and the truck volt meter went way into the red for overcharging. Turned it off and tried again with same results. Tried removing the Allen key plug and of course it rounded out. Decided since so many have trouble with these to go with a modern alternator and make it...
