    Glass to frame seals

    You can try McMaster Carr for generic weather stripping/sealants. They have a little bit of everything!

    New To Me 1994 M998A1

    Welcome to the addiction of MV’s! Did you unhook the batteries when you swapped start boxes? Be careful pulling glow plugs, definitely use a puller and have patience! We swapped a set on a truck using a puller and actually pulled it apart and dropped some pieces in the cylinder. Then came...

    Which paint?

I have found painting the canvas with the latex works good because its flexible and doesn’t crack when the fabric folds and bends. If you have a good quality paint chip they can color match it at...

    Hurricane rescue Build

    I would definitely at the least move the air filter housing up from under the step/cab because one of our local fire dept. trucks was doing a high water rescue recently and the gasket was rolled on the air filter and sucked water into the engine. Fortunately they were able to remove the...

    BAE systems 2001 M1088A1 any good?

    One thing to consider with an A1 series truck is they have the 3126 CAT engine which is an electronic engine with more sensors and electronic fuel controls that may give problems over time. The older series trucks have the 3116 all mechanical engines that have basic fuel pedal and hand throttle...

    Hmmwv won't start

    We had the same problem, replaced the plugs and found a couple broke off. After a new set of plugs and a new start box cranked like a champ. Make sure when you change boxes to unhook batteries and match with temp sensor. Wait light should come on for about 10 seconds when cold and then fire up...
