Here is an excerpt from the AM General troubleshooting guide regarding smoke:

You will be surprised how little effort it takes when the wheels are off the ground. Almost none at all...

. Most important: Jack the truck's entire front end and put on jack stands. Then you don't have any resistance while turning...

. I need to add that the chart above is for Radial tires, here is the chart in the Operators Manual for BIAS tires. So use depending on your needs.

Very impressive workmanship and ingenuity. Kudos! Have you (for improvement) considered lowering your tire pressure? What are you currently running? In my case, I found out (with the help of a few folks here on the forum) the curb weight plus driver and passenger calls for 15 and 18 PSI for my...

. It could be, but the OP also reports sudden speed increase, that wouldn't happen if it merely unlocks the TCC, IMO

. I've learned the hard way that some solar chargers actually drain batteries when it gets dark due to faulty diodes/resistors in the charge controller.

Silly question, have you inspected the throttle return spring next to the TPS, the one that pushes back on the accelerator cable? Should be a double wire spring.

That’s probably the best way to figure out effectiveness. I think I’ll do the same thing. Possibly from head height of passenger and driver side as that is where I keep my ears usually, as well as finding the loudest areas such as tunnel, foot well areas, and others… Will post soon as I record...

. Any specific source for the clutch? Thanks!

EDIT: Actually I just now read that you are talking the 6.2L. My fault. Maybe this will help:

. The factory installed insulation I have in my M1123 has a "channel" up front to where the water could drain over into the drain vent out the floor. Valid concern if one did seal the floor completely. Maybe easy enough to cut through the material with a long box cutter blade from underneath...

I've read good things about about Kilmat, may be a good product to play with... Horse stall matts are also an avenue I've considered, the local TSC (Tractor Supply Company Stores) have a decent selection for a good price. Siless? First to hear of it, looks pretty good online. Soooooo many...

Awesome, I wasn't that familiar with his rig like others are.

Make sure you get the right UOC for your truck, the TM calls for two versions:

. You may want to install the damper with the rod facing down, and the cylinder on the upper part to get more life out of the dampers... That should keep the seals wet and the rod lubricated. IMHO Other than that, outstanding workmanship.

Trying to do some research on sound proofing / sound deadening, best practices, areas to pay attention to and what to avoid. A preliminary search brought up some posts here on SS and online, but really no comprehensive collection. For all those that used Kilmat, Fatmax, Lizard skin, Dynamat...

Thank you, I just couldn't find this one even after almost an hour... This helps tremendously. But it looks like I needed the line nut torque and didn't know it, so you saved my bacon. 20 lb-ft it is for that.

. My vote is for get a second truck with a 4 speed, and take this baby to the bedroom. She is gorgeous... Congrats

Little update on a minor disaster averted (not by me but by luck). While out and about last weekend ( https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/out-and-about-with-my-hmmwv.201914/post-2588544 ), and back home we noticed a leak of clean and clear fluid, that did not have a diesel smell, dripping from...
