    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    Its an M35 built under licence by Bombardier in Canada. The Canadian Govt. will not let these be licensed for on road use if they are sold by Crown Assets Disposal. The truck has a lot of parts that are proprietary and hard to find. There was no bidding the contract was just given to Bombardier...

    Exodus Expeditionary Trucks (M1086 MTV, WRanger MTV 13, 97 Rialta V15)

    Be careful making your gas tank inaccessible to thieves. Around here if they cannot get in through the cap they use a portable drill to punch a hole in the tank and drain it that way. It is much harder to fix that than refill a tank. And the local authorities take their side when you call an...

    Anyone added a "Mojave" heater to their Humvee ?

    I installed another heater very close to what you are doing in the back of a unit I had a few years ago. It made a big difference to the heat in the unit. I also used a step down transformer 24V to 12V and it worked very well. Watch how you run your wireing and water lines. Good luck in your...

    Mild Power Adders

    The cheapest and easiest way to feel slightly more power in your unit would be to put smaller tires on it. Not narrower but shorter. That will lower your ground clearance slightly and in effect give you a lower gear ratio. A couple of inches shorter tire would give you an effect you could feel.

    Adding ATF to your diesel fuel?

    Do you really mix it at 50 to 1? Thats a full Gallon of 2 stroke oil in every tank? I buy my oil wholesale but that is still over $10 a Gallon. Eddy

    Quick and easy I doubt it but here is hopeing.

    43 CCKW 363 brake trouble. I have a 43 CCKW that was rebuilt about 6 yrs ago by a guy who knows his stuff. He did all the brakes then and put a different Hydroboost on it from a more modern truck. The brakes have always been fantastic but it has sat a lot and due to health reasons I do not...

    driver doorlatch

    Hey guy's. I've seen several posts around regarding outside door handles not working. My passangers side handle on my deuce also did not work. Yesterday while letting the coolant cool down after a flush, I decided to fix it. The fix is easy, the hardest part is getting the mechanism in and out...

    Auxillary electric fan possible?

    Probably will work great on the FMV as there is lots of airflow but I know that when you put them on the Humvee they do not work as they block air at high speed. The fan covers about a third of the rad with plastic and the CFM is great at low speed but less than the air moving through the rad...

    So what are you using for a Lubricity Additive on your diesel Unimogs?

    Bio Diesel fuel is a solvent and will clean your motor and fuel system and the first time you use it you can plug fuel filters. Eddy

    Ok lets talk Gasoline

    Ethanol is very bad for our old stuff and so is the newer oils that lack Zinc and Phosphorus. Check it out on the net. You should use non ethanol premium and add a Zinc additive. Eddy
