    Power not really off….. strange

    So, I have a DPST battery disconnect switch that disconnects the grounds from the 12v and 24v battery banks. The other day, I turned the disconnect switch, jumped in, turned the main power dash switch, dash lit up, hit the starter button…. Heard the starter lurch and all lights went off. Dead...

    Find any part for FMTV…. What are the unicorns?

    I think he probably would be looking for an equivalent commercial product with similar specs. Not specifically OEM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Find any part for FMTV…. What are the unicorns?

    Ok, my uncle in-law is spending the weekend with us and he recently retired from working for NAPA (now he is part time). He said he prided himself on being able to find any part…. Especially hard to find parts. I asked if he thought he could find shocks for these trucks…. He said yes. I...

    Camper Upgrades

    When you look at all of the stuff you will have to do….. sound deadening is one of the easier projects. You literally need heavy scissors and a roller. I would put a small heater in there and do it myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camper Upgrades

    I have KillMat, Noico Red, 2” of 3m thinsulate, 1/4 plywood, then Marine carpet. The cab is pretty well insulated. When the fan solenoid fires off, the dog want to jump out of the drivers window. The dog is now relegated to a cage in the back. Point is, do what you want for yourself...

    Oil pressure gauge all over the place.

    Had a scare. My oil pressure gauge was always very shaky, but was always centered around 40….. this weekend it started shaking lower and lower…. I checked the oil level and the light never came on. Now it is shaking around 80….. occasionally it would drop to below zero then bounce full scale...

    Front brush guard ideas

    I agree…. Assume that one day you will bump something hard enough to bend your cab. Do you want to pound out a dent or replace a windshield *and* pound out a dent? ! ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gen2 always blows hot

    I looked in there. My air line run to the rear of the truck side of that valve then under. I can see well enough to tell if it is touching. Is there an outer component of the actuator that actually moves and can be blocked from moving? From the drawing and my restricted view…. I can’t tell...
