I got my AC Delco (10mm junk) GPs from Erik's Mil Surplus. They lasted less than a month before they started failing. That was an $80 lesson. If I recall correctly, those had a NSN in the advertisement as well.

I found an old guy locally that specializes in radiator repair, so I took the rad over to him and he re-soldered everything. Most of these side weldments were broken loose, and my theory is that it put stress on the core enough to start the leak. It was $135 fixed out the door. He took it...

This would be more informative if you reveal what truck you have... ;)

Only asking because you didn't mention it in your original post but.... you are waiting until the WAIT light goes out... right? RWH put two automotive batteries in mine (has it been?) three years ago I think, and I've never had any problem getting the truck to spin up fast and fire off, even...

Thanks for the text help too BTW, it's appreciated!

On the deck! Everything bagged and tagged, or marked on the part itself.

Radiator coming out... Just getting the hood off is difficult when you're one-deep. Wood board underneath with a couple screw-eyes and strap and it lifts off easily. So far that was the easiest part of this job. Headed out for Day 2....

True, but I also have limited time to do any work, especially work with an unknown ECD. So it has to be this weekend irrespective of other events.

I'll be chasing a radiator leak this weekend. :mad:

Wondering if anyone purchased something from GovPlanet that was listed as "parcel eligible" and how successful that was.

This little project took far longer than it should have. Small spaces inside the can... The ammo can is mounted on vibration isolation feet. 4" cooling fan exhausts out the bottom, two lighter-plugs, and one USB charger plug all a timer. Top radio is a Radioddity QT60 that does 10 and 11...

I hauled a bale of hay in the back of mine, it came swirling up under the rear curtain and covered the rear seats. Looked like it was going to be a big vacuum cleaner job, but instead I took the doors off and got it up to 60mph and it all blew out. Question, is it cruel to choose your parking...

If you have welding available, that's probably the best option. Otherwise you might try drilling it with a left-hand drill bit, OR drill it from the inside with a regular drill bit. Start with a small-ish bit and work your way up until it comes out or gets too close to the threads. Then tack...

Last pic; the three capped wires on the center windshield I believe are for the optional windshield heat system. Those are routed around and terminate behind the battery box (same wire numbers). You can use those for powering items at the center windshield to prevent your needing to route...

In the aircraft world it's called seat track.

Continuation of the previous. Here's the video of the entire parade. The M1165 appears at around the 11:00 minute mark, then I make the second pass around the 59:40 More milsurp around the 1:31:00 time.

Armed Forces Day is a thing. Bremerton WA has one of the longest running celebrations for Armed Forces Day, this year being the 77th. I was scheduled to drive the M1165 and placed in the middle of the pack of 150 participants. Last night the event organizer called me and asked if I would mind...

If it's a Yermo truck you always have the option of shipping it the short distance to Retired War Horses and letting Steven do the heavy lifting. I'd be OK driving a runner or non-runner home after RWH gives it the once-over and says it's good.

I want a set of hard doors for the winter, but once it's warm I really like the soft doors instead. Going from doors on to doors off takes a minute or less, add maybe one more minute to roll up the rear curtain and you're riding in style. Let's see a Wrangler owner do it less than 20 minutes.....

If you use a 24v relay, you need only run one small wire into the cab; the ground wire for the relay.
