    Fan Hub Question

    I have the cooling system apart for a water pump replacement and I noticed that the fan hub, the part that has the quick disconnect fitting, does not rotate freely, it turns about half a turn and then feels like it has hit a spring detent then will rotate again to another or the same detent, is...

    PS Pump RCSK18330 Different Models ??

    I ordered a new pump from Midwest Military Equipment, removed the old pump, installed the new one on the bracket not paying much attention to an exact match. I installed the pump on the truck(6.5/V-belt)and I noticed the center soft line nipple was hitting on the cylinder head allowing no...

    Transmission Won't Go Into Gear 3 Speed

    Update:, So I drained the fluid and dropped the pan, I figured a filter and fluid change might help, I did not expect or want to see a filter and pan covered in metal shaving and a few minor chunks of metal. The filter was literally clogged with metal, the magnets had so much metal on them they...

    Brake Pedal and Steering Pulsing ?

    Update: After the bleeding process and I thought I needed(and ordered)a new pump, I ran it the next day and now it works normal, it must have had a stubborn air pocket that finally came out. I noticed I have a bleed nipple at the fan valve, I will try that as well if I ever need to bleed the...

    Light Switch on Horn Come On ???

    Thank you for the replies, I pulled the horn button and discovered the horn brush wire had pulled away from the horn button and was grounding to the column. I slid a piece of shrink tube over the connection, shrunk and re installed. I also sprayed some silicone spray in there to help prevent...

    Transmission Won't Go Into Gear 3 Speed

    All levels were checked before starting, I made repairs and fluid checks while it was still on the trailer as it was easier to work on. Thank you

    Transmission Won't Go Into Gear 3 Speed

    So I picked up my M1097R1 yesterday from Iron/Gov Planet yesterday, I am trying to figure out a few issues I am having. When I first started it to back off the trailer it went right into reverse, backed off, went right into drive and I moved it around the yard. Now it was getting up to...

    Maine Military Vehicle Owners Alert

    Did they agree that there is language in this bill that does not help ? Thank you for checking into this further, I searched and could not find any Maine law that prohibits registering MV's. Another point I thought of is that there are hundreds of cargo trucks registered by fire departments...

    Maine Military Vehicle Owners Alert

    I don't understand the purpose of it either, it almost looks like it's trying to help get MV's on the road but it's so flawed it hurts more than it helps. I am 3 hours away from Augusta but I am going to attend, I'm told by a friend that you should plan on arriving at least an hour early as you...

    Maine Military Vehicle Owners Alert

    I don't how they expect for owners of older MV's such as WWII etc to provide documentation of release from the gov't.

    Maine Military Vehicle Owners Alert

    Public hearing on March 21 1pm room 126 in the state house for repurposed MV. A Maine MV owner with a FMTV was ordered to return his plates by DMV, Maine is or is trying to sneak in laws that we need to fight, please pass the word, the more people there the better.
