    What about the MRAP tires?

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I just wore off the casting nipples on the 'new'/'old' tires and so tread life is not an issue but they are showing some sidewall and inside tread cracks. I was thinking wider but not taller since I think the loader is already a little short on the down stroke as is and might not even get to...

    So what is the widest tire any of us has put on the stock wheel?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I am doing something similar with the forward section angled to match the angle of the rear curtain. I will send pics when done.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Oh absolutely, I just need to them to make sure everything fits correctly. I could buy the sensor too if I had the part number.

    Despite my setback on the auger I made a HUGE upgrade and I swear she runs just a whole lot better now...

    Perfect, do you have the sensor to?

    Sorry to hear that! Sounds like it is better in the long run anyway.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    I do have a local guy with a CUCV but his F150 took a dump and his CUCV is now his daily driver. So that is my backup plan but how long it takes is the question.

    CUCV Cooling System Upgrade Kit

    Unfortunately I have hit a brick wall as it were. Until I have the drivers side rear coolant block off plate with the sensor in hand I cant complete the CUCV version of the kits. Ideally somebodies truck is down for maintenance or unused for a few weeks and can send it too me to finish the...

    Stuck backhoe bucket pin on SEE

    I hate to say this guys but I had my swap from bucket to auger done in 45 mins. I used penetrating oil liberally on all surfaces and tapped off the paint on the snap ring area and with a short sledge and a little cussing, off the pins came. Now when the pin came out it was dirty and needed...

    Dont feel too bad General as misery has company, turns out whenever I use the accessory real switch it works but then blows the fuse when I turn it off!?!?! I have relegated myself to just not using it for now as I continue my ranch fence project (pics to follow). By the way the cool auger...

    FLU fuel issues

    My bars, like most of the Texarkana trucks are bent because they got lifted up by a telehandler on them. I wonder of some of the handling issues people have might be because the rear axle is cocked and articulated forward shortening the track?

    FLU fuel issues

    I have heard that about the speed before but other than airing up the Michelins to 50psi it is all standard FLU419. Perhaps I am just more comfortable with the truck at speed than others. I did add some toe-in and bent the track bars a bit to get the rear axle tracking right.

    FLU fuel issues

    So I just started getting fuel starvation issues after operating and driving at speed for over an hour today. Opened the fuel cap and I had a huge rush of air. I pulled the breather valve and it was blocked. I am not sure with what but after a lot of compressed air and some scraping a ton of...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    I ordered the bracket from my equipment rental place who ordered it from LOWE who makes the original auger for the FLU419. I am absolutely sure that there are other ways to do this and the bracket will fit many other larger form augers like the LOWE unit. I figured that having the bracket...
