    Replacing/rebuilding radiator

    Sure; I would flush in reverse of the standard water flow. I wouldn’t use any real caustic solutions - at least nothing to start with. I would start with a garden hose (without a nozzle) 1st and see what will flow out under low flow pressure. And you can pressed check when finished. Grab an...

    Replacing/rebuilding radiator

    $1200 is pretty steep; IMO. For 1200 smackeroos they’ve got to remove both tanks and inlet / outlet and completely clean & install new inlet/outlet, new core, and reassemble, pressure test, and paint. But, of course, there aren’t many radiator shops around as there used to be because of EPA...

    Home Brew

    It’s most likely my stellar technological ability that is the problem…but I haven’t seen a post in this section about home brew. I made a 7 gallon copper pot still, thumper, and condenser but haven’t used it yet. I may make another and apply improvements on my design and construction. I also...

    DIY or cheap intercom

    I’ve long since forgotten how we did it - but I’m sure it was simple. We used to wire boom boxes into our APC intercom systems. I was a E3 operating a M578 recovery vehicle and my Company Commander wanted to go on a recovery mission with me & my 1 crewman. He didn’t bat an eye as AC/DC was...

    Suggestion : A shop/tools section?

    I’ve noticed that the FMTV manuals has a Appendix with plans / instructions on how to fabricate certain tools. I haven’t explored the complete TM series though. While I was AD there were several vehicle/equipment TM’s that had instructions for fabricating certain parts from bulk material...

    Intermittent Turn Signal Issue

    Not sure about the HMMWV’s but other vehicle lights needed clean mounting bolts and a good connection to the body as those bolts grounded the lights themselves.

    1997 LMTV Journey

    I bought that kit. I think one of the large O-rings for the piston pump housing was missing. If you look at the itemized list it might show “1 required” and that might be all that was in your kit.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Same for the headlight bezel.

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    His attitude is pretty crappy & his deportment towards fellow forum members is certainly not collegiate.

    1984 M1009 Value?

    You might be right. But there’s that one guy out there that has to have one.
