This is for CUCV. My wipers had a problem slowing down too much. Ended up replacing the motor. New motor did not have washer pump. Found a universal washer bottle and pump assembly on AMAZON cheap. Check my thread on M1008 for details.

I would inspect the air compressor output for oil before you contaminate the air dryer again. Also inspect the air lines and air tanks to see if the oil has reached there. You may have quite a flushing to do to your air system depending how far the oil creep-ed.

Your air compressor might be leaking oil into the air system. It looks like oil mixed with moisture from the air.

Those rivets are called monobolts. You can find them from time to time on a well known auction site. I have both 3/16" and 1/4" diameter versions that I have been using for years.

Tail light on the passenger side looks too far out. Wonder why... Maybe not installed properly.

Yep I had to do the same with mine. I thought that system would never prime! Make sure the batteries are fully charged and in good shape. They will get a workout priming the system. On a side note: I added an inline electric fuel pump. Now each time I am waiting for the wait light to go...

People do things with rented cars that they may not do with their own vehicle. So I think the same would go if an emergency response person was driving my truck. If they don't have to maintain or repair it then they may take chances with it that the vehicle owner may not do.

Lack of preparation on their part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Since most local gov't agencies can acquire MVs for free from Uncle Sugar (they get pick of the litter) I am not obligated to commit my vehicle for "emergency service" unless I feel like it. Since I have to pay for...

If you look at one on GOOGLE you can see that there is plenty of metal that can be removed from a bolster trailer. All you need is the bare frame. You can probably shorten the front extension too.

Juanprado has a shelter dolly sitting in my yard. Tires are like new. Really nice shape. I am sure he would give you a real good deal on it. 2nd idea: What about a bolster trailer?

A deckover equipment trailer would be the best bet for carrying the HMMWV.

Those hub caps are hard to remove. A flat sharp screwdriver and hammer to pop them out. Once you see the crown nut remove the cotter pin and back off the nut a bit. It is over torqued. Reinsert cotter pin once set correctly. You can add grease to the hub before closing. If you want more...

Last week I finished the console installation. I ran (2) #6 wires from the front battery through a large hole in the firewall (next to the fuel filter). I also ran (3) #14 wires for the spot lights I installed on the brush-guard. The rubber plug in the firewall was too dry-rotted to reuse. I...

I am in for 1 of the cargo nets. I can have juanprado pick it up for me at the rally. Let me know if OK. I can paypal you the funds. Thanks, GE

Yes it does have a remote control. I still do not get having it turned around 180 degrees. How would I see the radio then? The way I have it now I can easily see the front of the panel and reach any of the buttons comfortably. I am 100% satisfied with the completed center console as it...

I can reach that shifter if needed. I don't usually take it out of 2WD. Closest point to the console is 4WD LOW and it is vertical. We tried it today.

Since last entry I managed to install the new drawer organizer. The dimensions were a perfect fit. I also installed the console into the truck. It fit nice and snug between the seat frame pieces. All I need to do now is slice into the wire leads coming from the console to activate the radio...

You forgot about the M1008 bench seat back coming with juanprado.

I got the bamboo drawer organizer tonight. Didn't like the fit! Hung off the back about an inch. Found another one on AMAZON.COM for $25 and ordered it. According to the dimensions it will fit nicely! I used the non fitting drawer organizer to hold all my remote controls for the...

Very nice job. Got to do similar job on mine.
