I'd relocate the sample port before shelling out several hundred bucks on a longer hose. I'm a rebel like that (ok, I'm poor but still).
Thanks for the info. I'll have to look into if it will be wise to delete the front cooler. I can't think of any reason not to especially given that it's...
Not to hijack, but I wonder if this is what I picked up. I can't find a better image, but my cooler is BAE (it could have come from anything).
Been contracted since '94 it appears...
30" x 20" by 9" (3" core)

5-ton the same as 2.5? I know some of the 5-tons had the aux cooler but what I'm ignorant of is if they also included the forward cooler. I'm wondering if I really need both coolers (the aux I'm adding is a MONSTER twice the size of what they put on the 5-tons.
I'm somewhat surprised to hear...
Yep, as long as the "hard parts" (ie: not clutches, seals but the shiny big metal bits the turn and grind) are not damaged, it's rebuildable to a shop. Of course the auto trans shops will always find hard part "damage" they can show you (they have piles of them that they will tell you came from...
Well, after some road time daily driving (my M1079 is my daily) and some highway time I'm pleased with the seats. The foam is a bit stiffer but the seats have ample "spring" to them (the A1R seats honestly are equally as comfortable, but I really wanted armrests).
I'd seen these seats used and...
I've seen people on here adopt the dips for high speed gears, but not setting up a (non-OEM?) speedo.
You might dig up some of those threads to see if helpful.
I picked up this big bastard last month. BAE contracted it and I don't know what it was out of, but I think I may stuff it in my frame. It's NOS and cost me $50 but the bungs for the lines are 1.25" so I'll have to step down a hair, heh. It's 36" x 20" x 9" (with a 3" core)...
I can't image that fuel line would be hard to source or in short supply. Nothing special about the LMTV lines, as you know.
There are a half dozen hose shops where I live and I have them made all the time.
Just that if they think that *tat* is a big truck, "hold my beer" (the underlying motif there being that my truck is far larger).
;)
Seriously though, I do get "is that thing legal to drive" all the time.
The OEM seats really didn't bother me. I was never uncomfortable in them. They seemed to be more of a "suspension-type" than my A0's have but that could just be perception.
The Pacifica seats are firmer and I was hesitant to install them. And the OEM's have better lumbar support as well as...
I tossed my seat in today. They are heated (though I won't be needing that in S TX but perhaps someday).
Trying to sort out wiring. I know it has at last one set of leads going to some sort of cable release (that I have clipped at termination).
