    LMTV Alternator Disaster, engine now catastophic

    What an ordeal. I have a list of things to double check on my truck. Glad you made it on time for the game. I checked my stockpile of stuff for an alt bolt, no joy on that. I agree on what you say, as these are old trucks for reliability. I know brad down in makenna has some parts trucks...

    LMTV Shipping

    Contact a local equipment mover with a low boy trailer. They will have all the knowledge to get a not running truck onto a trailer and deliver it. May cost some money, but always better to be safe than sorry.

    FMTV Replacement Door Handle Upgrade

    A templet that you align with the original opening and bolt hole, with center punch locations at all the corners. Tape/glue the templet on, mark all the new cut out corners, take templet off with a straight edge scribe all the cut lines. And if you really want to get fancy also include a drill...

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    Oh, and with open diffs there are lots of situations “MUD” you can’t just drive out of. And at 17,000 pounds a Jeep isn’t going to pull you out. The hassle of the install is cheap insurance. It’s just mounting some brackets, running some hoses and wires. Maybe drilling a few holes, and...

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    I don’t have the winch. But it’s a simple design, shouldn’t be too hard to retrofit on your truck.

    LMTV M1079 11k self recovery winch installation

    I’d install it still. It’s not too much to do. And it will get you knowledgeable on your truck. I’m over in port Orchard if you need help, I have a lot of time spent working on my truck. I’d figure it’s a 1 to 2 weekend project at max. To me it seems like a simple project compaied to the...

    You know it’s bad when the ups guy is like “this box is heavy, must be for the truck” when he drops stuff off.

    Front brake shoe broken

    So you need brake pads. Saves a ton of money compared to missing brakes completely. Just be sure to replace the pads on both sides. Follow the tm for adjustments. Pretty easy to do, let us know how it turns out.

    air lines - refresh

    I’ve replaced a bunch of airlines in the dash, converted to push lock fittings that are dot approved. And airlines were also dot approved. No more leaks, and easy to install. Heck after I did that I bought 3/4 airline to plumb my garage compressor system with.
