    thinking about doing black white and grey camo

    A little bit I guess, I worked at NSAWC on the Tomcat side from 2001 to 2003. We had a shukoi blue Tomcat that was "struck" about six months after I got there. Most of what we had at the time was old and very tired. ( Hornets and Seahawks included) There was a Desert cammo 60 with a red star as...

    Thumping noise in floor when coming to a stop

    Looked at the engine mounts, X-fer case mounts transmission mounts and didnt really notice anything odd. It still does it, just not as bad. At some point when I'm not so busy, I'll look into it more. I have a long list of things to do. Shocks, oil change, tire rotation......

    Thumping noise in floor when coming to a stop

    Help installing alternators m1009

    If you havnt already done so, ensure that you have disconnected your batteries. I have seen a few threads here where folks touched hot wires to various parts in the engine compartment with horrible results. Best of luck!! :beer:

    Why are there 2 batteries?

    Hey Koolex, If you do change both batteries, please please please be careful and mark your wires prior to battery removal. I changed the batteries in my first truck, didnt mark them, hooked up the back battery backwards and ended up frying stuff. Took a long time to figure out what got burnt up...
