So just for the heck of it I added some LubeGard ATF protectant in the power steering reservoir (its Dex III compatible and adds lubricity without affecting viscosity). I've read that others have had good success using it with power steering systems that use ATF. Anyway, it maybe slightly...

If you figure out how to soundproof the pump, let us know.

Point taken, but for context: I've done it twice ever outside of parades. It's a small town and many of the cops know me (I do work for local police and fire companies).

I don't do it often, usually only during parades. But when I do, no one is allowed in the turret/touching the gun, which is not loaded, and I'm complying with all state/local/federal laws.

Decided to mount up the dummy 50 cal (even though its not finished) and went to the beer distributor. Got quite the attention lol. Also took my son to the park for a bike ride. Edit: and made a new avatar!

Yep, I had good success with tractor supply horse stall mats, and kilmat on the dog house

Thanks. When I originally got the truck (auction truck) it was low. I fixed a leak, topped off and bled the system using some generic dexron III. Do you think there is any benefit to swapping the fluid to something like Red Line D4 (which complies with Dexron III)? I figure using a higher...

More 50 cal progress. This counts as hmmwv related right? I'm not building it to go on my Prius 🤣

Yes, if you make enough phone calls you can get it. Just make sure you have a REALLY good respirator and know how to use it.

Fyi, the power steering pump on my 2007 m1151 is a little on the loud side. Thats even after getting all the air out and making sure its not foaming. Not sure if thats normal but I'm thinking about swapping the fluid with some red line ATF which I've heard might quiet it down.

Same here, I realized the right latch is missing the mating piece and so it will never latch until thats replaced. Edit: info here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/doghouse-top-pin.174543/

This reads like a high school kid referencing wikipedia for a school essay.

Ive had no issues with mine.

Painted my tire carrier, and made more progress on the dummy 50 cal

Where did you find the sockets?

More 50 cal progress

Yep, also many modern vehicles no longer have oil pressure gauges at all. I've also noticed lack of voltmeters in newer cars which I wish they would bring back.

I put washers on mine to make up the space, but not sure if thats the intended solution. In for answers.

I feel like if your truck needs aftermarket mods to stay at the correct operating temperature, there is something wrong that needs to be fixed.

Having had both, the first time I changed a serpantine belt I premptively disconnected the quick connect fitting first, which was a pain in the ass because it was stuck. Then I realized I didnt need to do that and was like you GOT to be kidding me!
