    LED Pushbutton Switch Install

    If you insist on running that switch, you need to hack those tabs off. They are there to space the lever type switch back further in the dash because it will be too close to the turn signal lever if it isn't. The push button switch is significantly shorter from its mounting plane to the top...

    Rear flap tie down failures

    Who ever designed these things was a psychopath. Hard to use new. Need two hands to loosen when soiled. Break easily. It has more modes of failure than moving parts....which is quite an accomplishment in itself. And the strap is usually to wide to go through the stupid "thing" on the body and...

    Hood markings?

    That's most likely. It was one of the many 2 door MAK trucks recently demil-ed at Yermo.

    Aloha from a newby

    Probably easiest on top of the tank itself. Ive been really happy with the hand pump though . Priming has always been quick and easy.

    Aloha from a newby

    There is a drain bolt on the bottom of the fuel tank. Drain out the old fuel and add at least 15 gallons of fresh fuel. I recommend replacing the fuel filters at this time too. At a minimum do the secondary(fine) filter. The water separator is a plastic bowl under the primary(coarse) filter...

    Luverne Style Brush Guard material dimension question for a custom build!

    It actually attaches through the metal hood grille frame and fiberglass underneath . Not an issue at all.

    Aloha from a newby

    On air brakes, the parking brake applies with strong springs in one of the sets of diaphragms the rear. When the engine is running and there is air built up in the system, when you "release" the parking brake with that yellow knob it actually uses air to over ride that spring and allow the...

    Luverne Style Brush Guard material dimension question for a custom build!

    My luverne brush guard came with cables that attached to the hood grille and held the guard upright when closed. When you opened the hood, the brush guard lowered itself as the hood tilted forward. I think they were repurposed from a slantback rear hatch. No rattles and super convenient.

    Hood markings?

    Besides the obvious NSN, and rebuild/paint date, Does anyone know the significance of the other markings? And, what would have been changed under the blacked out spots? P000 ? C/C-E- ? PRES. ? WR ?

    Rear flap tie down failures

    Yes. Especially the ones that are all plastic. Brought to you by the lowest bidder...at the insistence of you the taxpayer. Im assuming you are talking about these POS things...

    Flasher unit

    Im thinking of the common round can style with the two prongs at 90 degrees from one another. They usually just plug into a plastic fuse block that offers no grounding. Its just a thermal switch in the power line. I surmise that the mil unit needs a ground for its solid state circuitry to...

    Flasher unit

    Great info guys. All the lighting on the LMTV is 12v I had been searching by the part number off the old unit. That unit from erics may do the trick. Interestingly he shows the pinout info. Pin A= Flasher output Pin B= power input Pin C= ground Before I buy it, Im going to try to connect...

    M1151A1 engine shaking

    Retiredwarhorses is the best resource. That notwithstanding...some of my comments will be to make sure we all know exactly what you are describing. One mans bad vibration might be another mans misfire. So it sounds like the engine is running smooth on all cylinders from your verification. So...

    Which look do you prefer... Modern or Traditional

    The "holding a conversation" thing cracks me up. Then seeing dynamat on the cargo floor. That's not where most of the noise is coming from. Id invest in an intercom system. Im doing a VIC1 system for the military look, but a better option for you would be an aviation style setup that is cheaper...

    M1151A1 engine shaking

    Is it misfiring? Is it chugging or have a pulsing feel when you hold your hand near the exhaust pipe outlet? More than likely a clogged injector or two but strange things like tobash mentions do happen. Mine had a broken alternator bolt that allowed the alternator to vibrate so bad that it was...
