    Cooling system hoses

    I am doing a cooling system update. I looked at the parts list spreadsheet, but the hose sizes, cross references are not shown. I used the search engine on here and did not find much. Anyone cross these parts and willing to share what civilian parts they used? I'm aware that Eastern has the...

    Parts to keep off junk 3116?

    I agree, keep the whole thing. By the way, you can get a new block for around $700.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Washer hoses replaced with 4MM silicone rubber. Will not fit under stock plastic covers. Plastic covers are shot anyway. This hose is thicker and will last 10 times as long. Original hoses very shot. Jet clips broke due to UV exposure. No surprise. Everything placed fine with zip ties. There...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Rear view camera installed. Replaced PYLE camera with IR security camera. Much improved quality and now has really good night vision. Can't really tell from this picture though, since the photo washed out. Alternator noise noted on screen, so will need filter.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Trailer 12 Pin cord showed wear on insulation. One trick that I use with minor to moderate insulation wear is to spray the insulation with liquid electrical tape spray rubber. I used this on the NATO cables in the battery box too. Works great on road rash or UV breakdown and makes it look a lot...

    M-1088 Electrical Problems

    I lost the headlights on mine suddenly. Turns out it was the turn signal. I took the turn signal apart. I do not recommend that you do this. Lots of things can break from what I could see. Small springs and plastic parts. $200 for replacement new. Bouncing meter may indicate AC at the gauge...

    Yes, they seem work well. I run Rain-X in case the wipers fail altogether. Cheap insurance. I'm going try the silicone washer lines today. Will post results. You may want to check the wiper spring tension. I have seen replacement arms somewhere.

    New glad hans on all 4 corners. Philips brand. Front: easy. Rear: PITA through frame fittings seized. Some schedule 40 zinc fittings present. Upgraded windshield wiper blades to PIAA silicone. Previous wipers went bad very fast. Silicone will last around 10 years. Working on replacing washer...
