Just to clarify, the 12v and 24v systems are ok to share the chassis for grounding? You don't have to isolate them?
Also where can I get the 24v/12v relay used to turn on the 12v system?
Thanks!
I'll be shopping for a friend at Aberdeen!
He needs:
1 5-ton air cleaner assembly (like for an m818 )
2 5-ton fuel tanks
1 5-ton passenger side front fender
1 5-ton tool box for behind the cab
1 5-ton driver side front fender (only need that if it is CHEAP)
1 truck mounted plug for the trailer...
Front driver side hub boot was leaking (old zipper boot leaking at the zipper) so I've been working on that all weekend. I'm replacing all seals and packing bearings. The seals and the bearings looks great so I'm going to hold off on doing the other side until it needs it.

I don't know which mod I consider more valuable, adding some car bucket seats in the cab or adding a muffler.
There are several options for adding a muffler but I went the quick, easy, and cheap way with this pretty much bolt on set-up that fits behind the stock heat shield and eliminated the...
Agree with all the above.
I'll take function over appearance any day though. I already have Nissan Altima bucket seats installed in my cab so I'm pretty far past looking stock. :grd:
Heck, I have people dropping it off at my house once I got the word out. Seems like the culture around my area is big on changing your own oil and saving it for no reason so I keep finding normal people with 55 gal drums in their garages and nothing to do with it so they're glad I come and get...
So far, I'm very happy with this:
