    Suggestion to carry in case shutterstat fails. cheap fix for emergencies

    Instead of having to get down near a hot engine and screw around with a bolt, Get yourself either a 1/4 inch T with flare ends and a cap, or elbow with two flares. It turns out my shutterstat problem isn't the shutter stat on my M923A2, it was one of the elbows, it has a tiny screen inside that...

    What civy battery group will fit in M35A3 tray?

    I did a search and came up with group 24 and group 31. I don't think they were in an A3 tray though! The A3 tray looks like it has moldings at the bottom so a 6TL won't move around side to side. So specifically, who has replaced their 6TL's in an A3 and with what? Do the A2 trays have the same...

    Noticed in all the auctions the engine is at operating temp when video check.....

    I noticed on all the function checks of HMMWV's the engine is already at operating temp yet they are waiting about 7 seconds before starting the vehicle like they are observing the wait light, which wouldn't come on with the engine at operating temp. Any explanation for this?

    Power to windshield sprayer but wiper motor not working. Which pins do i check?

    For the life of me I cannot find anywhere in any of the tm's diagnosing the wiper motor, which pins should have power. The sprayer works but wipers don't.

    Does the LMC tailgate handle come with the swingout part key set goes in?

    Can't tell in the LMC diagram whether the handle comes with the swingout part the key set goes in. The part the keyset goes in is all messed up on mine, I don't see it sold separately anywhere.

    Anybody try out the soft Ambulance top from SG?

    I seen to recall someone posting a pic and saying the pillars and bows are different and the top doesn't fit right. I would like to put it on, but if it doesn't fit no sense in trying without the proper pillars and bows. I can't seem to find anything about the top/pillars and bows in the TM's.
