    Winch install question/issue

    catch 22 is....... the strongest pull is when most all that line is belayed out... sorta seems then that the trick might be to find that magic balance of keeping not too much on the spool so you get down to recommended final raps on winch pretty easy/yet enough to move you out of the muck or...

    FMTV High Speed Gears

    yup..... there was a time when take out MRAP 3rds; already with the higher ratio R&P, were not that expensive and even with shipping it was cheaper to swap in a whole MRAP takeout...... even when calculating labor. But that is not the case anymore. R&P swap is way to go now.

    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    that might be a good place to install a generic duck bill drain. Put it on your personal maintenance schedule to open its mouth to drain/check for break down of rubber. THis way you dont have to worry about forgetting to swap plug it when you end up deeper than you expected.

    Radiator Cap alternate part number Stant/MotoRad 10230

    how did you decide a 16lb cap was the proper poundage? have seen others say their cap was 14lb... but they upgraded to 15 for to accommodate drive to AZ wonder if they were adjusted up and down to accomidate where they truck would be mostly (Alaska, or Kuwait)

    M1083 crank no start, looking for a Mechanic to help me get it started

    yup like others said.... Allison sorta screwed up and gave numbers to things that dont fit conventional thinking. Think of it more this way.: allison is a 6speed trans with an additional granny gear. Like usual trucks with Granny Gear's HAVE TO BE MANUALLY accessed. For the FMTV line of...

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    that is what I was thinking... like it cracked at the casting mark. you can also see at least one of the cracks radiating out inwardly of the circle though in which he mentioned.

    MV Addiction filled. Reis the Beast M1078A0 is born

    thats crazy...... Maybe fore you go much further put a "run out gauge" (think that is proper term/tool) on the block and dial it to your crank end. slowly turn it and see if it turns w/out micro wobble? Or maybe just to check if the end of the crank is not milled funky.... that is such a...

    CTIS controller printed circuit repair?

    Headlight rubber mounts

    ahhh... ok.. deeper back than have been thus far. does a bolt go thru it... or is it a rubber plug-ish thing that gets compressed into place via other bolts holding that housing in place on the truck orr?
