My dog Buddy is not afraid of my military trucks, tractors, etc. He likes to ride in my trucks. However, when I start my FLU419, he screams and runs off. I thought he was simply afraid of the noise or something. Then I remembered that he is wearing a Dogtra brand shock collar. We have 8 -...

According to TM 5-2420-224-10, the extinguisher is supposed to be mounted between the seats for both the FLU419 SEE and HMMH.

Thanks. I think I'll put mine on the cab wall. It would be more out of the way in that location. My SEE doesn't have any mounting holes on either the cab wall or the engine cover so I don't think it ever had an extinguisher mounted.

According to the TMs, each FLU419 is supposed to have a 2-1/2 Lb 5-BC fire extinguisher mounted between the seats. My SEE does not have an extinguisher and I see no evidence where my SEE has ever had an extinguisher mounted. I'm assuming the extinguisher is supposed to be mounted on the rear...

I guess it's my turn. My SEE has always shifted very smoothly since acquisition. That is until a few days ago. It is almost impossible to get into 1st, 2nd or 3rd. It goes into 4th fairly easily. I went ahead and ordered new bushings from EI. The transmission oil level is correct, so I'm...

I am not an electrician, but I see it this way. When you put the 52.2 amp load on the generator at 240 VAC, you are putting a 12.53 KW load on a 10 KW generator that is rated with a 0.8 power factor, thereby overloading the rating of the generator. The fact that your frequency drops from 61.5...

You should replace the valve cover gasket if you remove the valve cover.

The fittings I used with my 316 SS tubing came from EI. They were packaged in a Mercedes parts bag. I have zero leaks after checking with soapy water.

The crossover airline is 10mm ID. It is mild steel and corrodes easily. I purchased a 6 foot length of 10 mm ID 316 stainless steel tubing from Zoro. It is very difficult to bend so I also purchased a Ridgid tubing bender for 10 mm tubing with long arms and a Ridgid reamer for stainless steel...

Looking really good!

I have no idea whether there is an impeller in there or not. However, I have never heard any noise coming from that area on my A3. It's possible the noise is coming from something else and is being transmitted to that area. I would recommend that you find out what it is in case something...

I would start by talking with the previous owner if he is still available. Does it appear that everything is still there? It's possible the previous owner may have removed or modified some things. I would also read the TMs regarding removing and re-attaching the trailer portion.

Undoubtedly the parking brake.

I purchased my SEE in June this year. I've had no issues getting parts, but a few had to be ordered. 1. I had to replace the crossover air line with a stainless version because it was corroded closed and therefore no power brakes. I used 316 10mm SS. Pneumatic system and brakes work fine...

You mentioned that you did a pre-review non-running. Does this mean the SEE doesn't run, or that you were not permitted to start it? I would highly recommend that you don't make a purchase unless you can start and drive it and deploy the backhoe and make sure the loader works. Make certain...

My FLU419 came with Hawkers. I really like them. Very strong batteries and no electrolyte to check.

Welcome to the site. You will find a lot of good information and good people here. You just missed the Georgia Military Vehicle Rally. Hopefully, we'll see you next year.

Thanks Kenny. A fantastic job organizing this. It really brings back memories when going through.

I would have someone else turn the master on momentarily while you diagnose where the noise is coming from. That way, your helper can shut the master off immediately if needed before significant damage.
