Just wanted to do a quick review of the FMTV/MTV sway bar bushing upgrades available from Awesomeness/ Guido. The install was fairly easy on my M1088. One large bolt on the passenger side gave me grief, so I cut it off. There are essentially 3 pieces that need to line up, so it would be best to...

Sorry have not been able to fix video orientation quite yet.

Doing a lot of research today. This popped up for the dreaded 5 light O flashing CTIS. https://www.logsa.army.mil/web2/archive/PS2018/792/792-14-15.pdf

Anyone with an M1088 see their trans cooler fans come on? I don't tow, so maybe the temp has not gone up enough to trigger. Radiator gets hot. Maybe needs new relay or thermostat?

For bolts that hold the pulleys and damper on, only use a very light torque. Maybe 20ish ft lbs. I'm actually still looking for the exact figure. I had to Helicoil them. Also avoid JB Weld blue thread locker. It never seems to cure. Otherwise, JB Weld I found is generally awesome stuff.

Today I used a radiator cleaner to clean it. As I cleaned it it become apparent that what I thought was aluminum, was copper/brass. Why this design? It lasts A LOT longer than aluminum.

This was a very interesting video. They looked at how turbo blankets impacted the power output of an engine. Beware of cheap, fake "blankys" on net. Go with something like a PTP. I believe there are a number of different turbos, including borg-warners, 225hp, 275hp, 290hp etc. Guess we will...

What is the DOT standard for NPT connections on air brake systems? Teflon paste or Teflon tape or either?

Looking for V belt part # for A/C pulley on 3116 (Drivers side). I have searched for it on the forum. Can't find.

Installed the Red Dot AC evap unit today. It's been sitting in my garage for 2 years. Prices for these is redic now. New air valves in. Made a template for new hoses. Watched Broke Overland's install a few times : ) Might make the compressor brackets with my cnc and weld up. Donno.... Still...

Doing the fit up of the Harbor Freight 18K winch. So far so good. Mistakes were made, but nothing I can't fix. Long plate will get cut off. Wanted to maintain attack angle of front by placing winch higher. Wanted winch tucked in grill for better physics and appearance. Will add cooling intakes...

Hi Guys, Well the axles went in for balancing yesterday. Tiger Tool helped a lot. If you use one you must take the zerks out first. They get destroyed. I need to drop in the 3.07 gears. Just curious about using a gantry and chain hoist vs. engine hoist vs? I am putting in a locker at the time...

The photos speak for themselves. Fuzzy and faded looking lenses no more. Update the old school lights with new lens. $6-8 each.

FYI According to the owner of Unicat, based in Germany, the 6x6 is generally the preferred design. He went so far as to say that many 4x4 vehicles when fully loaded with the camper and supplies are over the weight design of the truck. If you have not seen these live videos, it is worth a look...

I have seen pictures of cracked bell housing, broken alternator brackets, cracked water pumps, and air compressors and gears damaged. In my case the interface of the compressor and power steering pump opened up due to a loose bolt. Those pesky driveshafts need balancing. It's not worth driving...

Be aware that these rubber female and male connectors can rotate inside the barrel of the rubber casing. In my case, the 20 degree rotation caused a strong short with melting of a pin. I would use a permanent marker of some sort to mark where the edge of the rubber and metal barrel should...
