I was successful ordering parts from them. I used the mile marker part numbers for the items I needed which are in the install manuals instead of nsn or military part numbers. Not sure if those tubes are listed separately in the front mm manual. It seemed to make the process easier. I had to...
You have to mod the set up as there were no trucks oe with both winches.
check with tomcata3 as he has done it. The attached pic is his as he had to add the cut off valves. I think the rear winch separate solenoid pack is next to the Cadillac valve. Suprman had the solenoids a while back.

It has been a little while but all I seem to find right now is the heater hose diagram for the nhc 250, Tm 9-2320-272-24-2 , dated June 1998, section 3-291, pg 3-781
Not sure as I do not know how to test nor do I have a real radio.....
But I do suspect it works as it was left on a gp truck and it had lots of cabling and looked like a comm truck with dual mid antenna towers ( on the project list :-) ) and rear mounts. Surprised it went with the truck and the...

I had been looking for a reasonable Bat antenna As-3588 / GRC-206 for a while and Greg 86humv hooked me up. I got the tall swiss cheese right rear mount from American Milspec. This set up is usually on FAC forward air control hmmwv's. All the pics I have found for the swiss...
On the 5ton, they were already mounted on a rigid steel plate as they were take offs and I just drilled extra holes and tucked them in front of the mud flap. On my M998, I mounted on thin sheet metal that I got from Home Depot almost like tin and cut them wide at the top so they tucked into the...
Not true. Try to find a spec diff inbetween their silver and gold product line. Even their wix reps will dance around the question. All come off the same line.....

Center tread wearing can also be a radial pull and belt separation of an impending tire going. It would look more uneven and the tire would start to ride and feel very harsh.
Back in the day we had a display on the counter of 3 cut up oil filters Fram PH8a, Wix/NAPA 1515, and ac delco for ford apps. This filter fits over 20 years from 60-80's +
Fram paper pleats were the lowest count and not even uniform of the 3, glued like it was elmeer's and done by a 5 year old...
I realize it is a great deal but do some research and you will see why no major national automotive parts chain sells fram.....but Walmart, Kmart do......
