    Drag link update worth it

    The difference in tightness in the steering with a new drag link is amazing. Mine has both ends that are replaceable. No more fear of getting too close to a rut or drop off on the side of a road. I see there are some never issued A2 ones on Ebay that need new boots. I'd be all over that if you...

    Is flushing your truck's cooling system really worth it? Definitely!

    Just flushed my M1088 with Thoro-flush (2 pints). Amazing amount of scale and minerals came out. Gray clay-like stuff. Makes sense. It's been on the road since 1998. Follow flush directions very closely. Flush until no red dye present. Helpful customer support. Replacing all hoses. Most dated...

    I think I recall someone made a pintle hitch guide. Connecting my truck to the pintle on a M1082 is a total pita. Anyone have the link?

    CTIS works somewhat for the 1st time

    I bypassed the pressure switch at the tank, and new sounds that I had never heard before occurred. Yay! It looked like only the front tires responded to the Sand command. Maybe a bad valve in the rear? I have heard of people turning up the pressure at the regulator to trigger the switch. Is...

    Our CTIS system are not really compatible with 3.07 gears

    I just realized something. Correct me if I am wrong. If you run high speed gears, in order to run at the maximum Goodyear MV/T speed (I have seen 65 and 68 mph ratings for max. speed), you have to be running 120 psi in tires (per Goodyear document). I don't think our CTIS systems run that high...

    Anyone take their FMTV to a foreign Canada or Mexico without issue?

    I am also attempting to gather info. on traveling in an FMTV through North America and Mexico. I am curious if anyone has taken one across the borders. Obviously, camo is probably not your best color choice if you are attempting to travel into another country lol

    I need to get clarity on each individual state. What I need to know is, which States currently prohibit the registration of military vehicles. Are there States that also prohibit any surplus military vehicles from being driven on the road, regardless of State it is driven in and reciprocity...

    Cooling system hoses

    I am doing a cooling system update. I looked at the parts list spreadsheet, but the hose sizes, cross references are not shown. I used the search engine on here and did not find much. Anyone cross these parts and willing to share what civilian parts they used? I'm aware that Eastern has the...
