Poulsbo has a little parade for Veteran's Day. Last year I carried the WWII vets who were the Grand Marshalls as the lead vehicle (behind PFB's giant ladder truck). This year I was scheduled to do the same but they told me a few days ago the vets are getting to an age now where ingress and...

Time to change the oil. It wasn't quite at the mileage point but it isn't raining and the parade is tomorrow, so why not.

How do these various solutions affect the draining slots on the floors? I'd hate to have water pooling.

Not crazy about sliding the transmission back - out in the driveway now that the rainy season is here. I was prepping it to sell when the flex plate started clattering. It figures...

Pulled the bell housing cover off - yep - seems to be the flex plate. Still deciding whether I want to fix, farm out the fix, or sell as-is.

I had an hour or so before the rain came, but it came early. Got both stone guards modified and mounted.

Weird that he's not offering pick up, only shipping. I'd be very cautious. If you know anyone in the area, have them go look at them before you send any money. There's a lot of scammers on FB.

I drove out to the NEX (went by the DRMO lot - nothing new) to pick up one of these. Totally changes the HMMWV driving experience. Highly recommended.

Installed the two new batteries and the cable set I've had laying around for three years or so. Truck fired right up, but it sounds like absolute crap. Banging noise that went away when getting the RPM above idle. Tightened the belts but it didn't help. The longer I had it running the worse...

A couple more from the DRMO lot: Whatever you do, don't try to open that door! This is the third type of LED turn signal that I've seen here. There was only one of these,

Tank is sitting pretty with about 70 gallons so far. Mounted the Solargizer to the generator. Used stuff I had around - so didn't need to buy anything.

I put the battery tester on the front battery - checks good. Aft batter checks bad so it's on the charger. Likely that's all it is.

I honestly never looked, despite all the drama about it. The truck never failed to start so I figured it must be there, or it wasn't really necessary.

Ever since I've owned the M1109, so 14 years or so, about three or four times a year: Turn the key, hear the bendix fire, then bog down like it cannot turn the engine. Release the spring tension on the key back to RUN, then reengage and it starts normally. It happened too infrequently to worry...

Drove over to the DRMO lot and spotted the first M1151 I've seen in there, and the monster thing.

What you describe about your fan cycling is no different than mine. As the gauge needle approaches 12-o-clock the fan kicks on, and runs for about the same time as it takes to regain control after the adrenaline dump it caused. Mine (soft top and doors) leaks during the rain, but nothing in...

He must have me on ignore?

When the M1009 was menacing the mean streets of Kitsap County, it was the loudest and brightest thing out there. The Whelen with two 100 watt air-horn outputs was distressingly loud, and the two 450 watt aircraft landing lights turned night into day, even turned off the streetlights. With...

Well the tank is in place and I ran the generator off the 1 gallon or so in it. It'll leak-check all night to make sure all the fittings are sealed up well. It only took about two dozen trips to home depot to round up all the small parts.

I'd love to soften the ride on my M1165, but trying to read multiple threads with conflicting information is frustrating. Do the Armada springs work on an M1165? What year armada springs, or better yet, what part number Do I need to cut them if I don't want to lift the truck? My truck sits high...
