I think I used 6mm Zerks.

Yes, you can use 15W50 or so engine oil. This is what the military wanted, not what your expensive Allison 3000 series transmission wants. Your oil may be well-oxidized and worn by now. There are two filters. I shopped and found a WIX filter. Turns out Wix is OEM. Bought closeout 2 filter pack...

I have searched everywhere for CAT technical manuals. The CAT dealer will be happy to sell you some for big bucks. Being the frugal guy I am, I searched everywhere. I found a website in NZ that has a membership fee of $19.00 for 1 week, where you can download the major manuals for this engine...

CFM will be around what the Cummins drop in fan kit for the Ram truck needs. Be careful with Chinese made fans with inaccurate CFM. I looked at converting, then stopped after looking at the complexity of the fan clutch and air system.

Hi Guys! Looking to replace all the hoses on the truck. Do we have a good source or cross reference? Thanks!

Where did you get your hub kit?

I assume the extras have been sold out?

cnc?

Yes, there are quite a few people doing this. The concept is called overlanding, which I believe started in Europe. Could start at website called " Two if by land". Martin and Bethany are quite nice and helped me get started. There are three primary cabin types. Aluminum, composite, and Would...

Ordered! Finally something inexpensive! Thank you very much!

Happy, happy, joy, joy....:whistle: Hmmmm..... now my cab won't go up except with the manual system. Saw new oil patch on ground under area of that pump or valve that goes thump thump thump... That sound now goes faster, but the cab does not lift. Any ideas? Is it going to be expensive? Dumb...

Cab was hung up on something

Yes, it resolved.

These are the things that I have found challenging: 1. Finding a useful part # can be a PITA. Finding a source can be even MORE challenging 2. If it's rubber on these trucks, you will be replacing it and it won't prevent child birth anymore 3. Many parts are specialty items, sourced from all...

Things that ARE practical about FMTV's: 1. If you hit a Prius, you can just use bug remover 2. With an M1088, even semi-trucks get out of your way 3. If you can't find parking, you just make you own spot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PrEUWAJ7Qg 4. Dings and dents just add personality to it...

I believe they fail in a locked mode, which is good. However, if they vomit their guts, they fail in an unlocked mode. This is bad. Not sure about that kit. Is that OEM? BW does not offer an Aluminum style rebuild kit, to my knowledge.

That looks to me like a different issue. Looks like the fan bolts should be checked regularly too.

Warning- Check your fan clutch RETAINER bolts regularly Make sure that you regularly check those clutch retainer plates for bolts that are backing out. Mine backed out and threw the clutch material and I lost a retaining plate ( there are 3). If you look closely the retainer plates are starting...

Did you find the rubber coating helped sound deaden a lot?
