Unfortunately it did not sound familiar at the time when I was struggling and was comparing it to my other Truck which has a KDS unit. It was a great learning experience without a whole lot of help. In the end for the new Box the above statement is 100% correct and now I know.

Final update, hopefully. Installed new Glow plugs. Checked voltage at the AC Tap. Found the cold advance switch was fried and replaced that. Truck starts right up after sitting or hot. Interesting thing with the wait light I wanted to share. When its cold it stays on steady that 7-10 seconds...

I have used one out of 4 Autozone Half Shafts that I purchased. They were on sale and I paid $320 for the set. I asked my Mechanic and he said they seemed of better quality than the one that was installed from the Military. I had to knock off the ABS Ring, as it looked like the clearance was too...

OK another update. Went to start the Truck. White smoke again. Wait light is correct. 7 second steady. Checked new glow plugs - fried. I'm sure this happened with the old controller. Their all measuring Mega Ohms. My question is this. Did they take out my new smart start system or would the...

I tried to start the Truck and the wait light started blinking 11 times again. This was after the single Blink I had last time. Checked my batteries 12.6 - 12.6, 25.4, voltage regulator and Alternator 28.2. Cleaned everything and coated with Dielectric Grease. Same blinking pattern at the next...

Hello All, when I purchased my A0 Truck the wait Light came on solid for 7 seconds then went out and she fires right up. When I bought the A2 Truck the Wait Light blinked about 11 times then went out. If its was a little cooler out and she was sitting overnight you really have to crank her to...

I did some house clearing in that type of Mask a few weeks back. It really sucked!

Thank you!

Hello All. Do the A2 trucks suffer from the same grounding issues as the early Trucks or was this resolved on the later Models? Thank you!

When I had the cluster forward I pulled the speedo cable out slightly, greased the end and made sure it was inserted. The Speedo itself worked smoothly with a Q-Tip slightly inserted spinning it and it was smooth. Then a member DMed me this "I cant help with the speedo cable. Mine is electric On...

Got it and replied. Thanks!

Good morning All. I am selling this Kit 57K0290 with 4 seats. Driver, Commander, and both rear. All the hardware, instructions, and mounting brackets are new and sealed in the original box. I used the two seats from the Kit for a restoration. The seats that come with the Kit are in excellent...

Thanks for the tips gents. My first buggy with the soft top has them tied at the B Pillar. This is the most aesthetically pleasing location in my opinion. Please see my attached pick. I was worried that the up armored hard doors would damage the Lanyard as they are a tighter fit. If you do not...

Good morning All. I am moving my Whip Antenna's from my M988 to my new M1045A2. It was easy to place the fixture to keep the Antenna's down with the Soft Top and doors. Would anyone be able to send me a picture of how to do this with a hard top and hard doors.? Not sure if the Antennas are...

Good morning All. I have my dash out to replace a lamp. I disconnected my speedometer cable to make life easier. My Speedometer works, but not smoothly. The needle kinda bounces through the entire range. Can just the Speedometer cable itself be pulled out, cleaned, lubricated, and reinstalled...

Thanks for all your thoughts my peeps. Please keep them coming till I write that big check! LOL

Hello All, I'm considering adding the Military Red Dot AC field retrofit kit to my M1045A2. I found a complete 4 man kit from one of our fellow members. After viewing the kit installed I have a few questions. 1) It looks like it seals the cab from the slant-back portion of the Truck. It looks...

Thank you Sir! Exactly what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Thanks again!

I had a Rivet-Nut with a frozen bolt stuck in it that was spinning when I tried to remove it. Felt I could "pop it out" with a little effort. Put a crowbar on it and used leverage. You all know what happened. 😭😭Been zipping frozen bolt heads off ever since!
