If you mean the disaster - I have a water pump coming but need to find a fan. I was going to get around to asking if you had them actually. The rad is blown we think (it's leaking from behind the shroud) but I am going to get it out and see if it can be repaired. I don't know the state of the...

Don't give up...

Relevant A0 schematics.

Is there a brig trailer?

Thanks! I'll know to remove them now when I try to sort out the CTIS. You know if the truck ever drives again haha.

... also by randomly I meant sometimes the wheel valve stem has a schraeder in it and sometimes it doesn't. I always kind of wondered if it is supposed to be there to facilitate removing the ctis hose assembly without deflating the tire, and if so I guess the assembly must be depressing the pin...

That's interesting, unless I am totally spacing, mine are different. They don't have that screw thing on them, it's just a 90 degree fitting. It screws onto the valve stem (which seems - randomly - to have a schrader core in it). I had one wind up leaking but the valve stem was bad and I ended...

The tone generators I use are a little box which plugs into one end of the wire and a "wand" that you can wave over the wire. It works through the insulation based on proximity. So you can hookup at the dash then go in the engine bay. It'll beep louder as you get closer to the wire. They are...

Not military radios but not TRI either. HAM / CB radios, civilian radios. Sorry if I was a distraction but I thought it would be applicable. I can tell you that the VIC-3 has a PTT pin on the radio interface cable and it expects inlet voltage (from the radio). It doesn't really matter what the...

I've done this successfully with both VIC-1 and VIC-3 intercoms with ham radios. In general you just need to make up a cable. The biggest problem seems to be the mic output from the intercom can be hot so sometimes it's necessary to pad it for the particular radio. There is not much danger of...

You might want to look up into maintenance shelters. Or the base-x tents, the sides come off. I can get a jeep in a model 203. They all show up surplus from time to time and the added benefit you can work on the stuff inside or heat them if you get inclined.

If you do want to make a run at tracing the old wires, I find a tone wand to be helpful for this problem. Disconnect the battery first.

IMO keep that thing... It's there to protect from stupid.

"I don't think there is anything like that made for what we want to do" - the insights G3 is made for exactly what we want to do. I'm glad your happy with your situation, I just wanted to throw out there that these sorts of things exist, and to see if anyone claiming vibration was the root of...

I've seen hand held meters, but what I was really thinking was something made for aircraft. Not "cheap" depending on your definition, but as a reference, look at the Insights G3. You pick up a six channel EGT, GPH fuel meters, and vibration monitoring in one compact package. They go for about...

I don't know what you use your truck for but if it's as bad of an issue as you suggest, then, I'd say you want it for the day you whack a weight off the shaft when offroading, or the ujoints fail for other reasons (wear, water ingress, etc). If $1000 to have the shafts spun is (500 ea was...

Wilco! I just realized, I need the truck back by 1/28 for the show in Phoenix!

Would a mod please change the title to "LMTV Alternator Disaster" or something similar. I don't want people to get the impression I currently broken down and need help. I hunted around for a way to edit it myself but it didn't seem possible.

I can tell you all about it... ha ha ha

Funny enough now that you mention that I did crack a oil cooler hard line a long time ago. Not long after I got it. You obviously have taken this issue to heart, and I don't blame you, so I wonder have you looked into putting a vibration gauge on the engine? Because I am kind of at that point...
