Did same, but note warranty duration at WM has drastically decreased.

True, but these are occult leaks that might be missed if the hoses aren't separated.

Doing a lot of research today. This popped up for the dreaded 5 light O flashing CTIS. https://www.logsa.army.mil/web2/archive/PS2018/792/792-14-15.pdf

Anyone with an M1088 see their trans cooler fans come on? I don't tow, so maybe the temp has not gone up enough to trigger. Radiator gets hot. Maybe needs new relay or thermostat?

Thank you for sharing this and welcome to the forum : ) Although some of us have seen this, we all appreciate a spirit of paying it forward! Sharing information is the key to keeping these trucks on the road.

FMTV's are just plain cool. They draw a lot of attention. They are fun drive and make Jeeps look like toys :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: What will this vehicle be used for ? If it is just a hobby truck to fiddle with, then jump in. If it is going to used as an Overlanding RV, then tread much...

After investigating the thread damage, I realized what happened. The stock bolts appear to be 85 mm. The bolt spec for the addition of the OEM A/C pulley is 90mm. Short bolt pulled the threads. In hindsight, JB Weld blue locker is probably fine, but I did switch back to loctite. The more...

It appears that my cover was replaced with a plasma cut sheet of steel.

One wonders if an add on water jacket might help or even a fan.

Interesting. That's what I thought it was, based on what I saw online. Torqued to 47 and they ALL gave out. Possibly over-torqued before by someone I bet. Helicoil saved the day.

Yes, did some research on thread locker. I saw that. I wonder about residual oils, etc. I am purchasing some oil stable blue this time.

As a rule, solar panel glass is pretty tough, as it is support by the cells. I have banged mine pretty good with stuff without an issue.

For bolts that hold the pulleys and damper on, only use a very light torque. Maybe 20ish ft lbs. I'm actually still looking for the exact figure. I had to Helicoil them. Also avoid JB Weld blue thread locker. It never seems to cure. Otherwise, JB Weld I found is generally awesome stuff.

Stay off the heat when you weld. I welded and it bowed in. TIG if you can. Bondo if you must.

The best thing you can do is share more picts and make us on this side of the ocean jealous !

First one that I have seen with a/c on top. Looks great!! Did you build the box yourself?

Yes, go with Supraman. He's a good guy and will make it happen foryou.

Where is this on the block?

Today I used a radiator cleaner to clean it. As I cleaned it it become apparent that what I thought was aluminum, was copper/brass. Why this design? It lasts A LOT longer than aluminum.

Hmmm I saw that too. Wondered if it was OEM or sign of the times.
