RE: Nice Truck Careful driving with the PVS 7s as they give a false depth of field with only one objective lens. That's why the military quit using them for veh. ops. No sense wrinkling up a truck as nice looking as yours... or you either, for that matter.

Depends on what you call 'worth the effort'. A well outfitted shop with hoist is the safest place to tackle a job like this as the bed has to come off, complete rear suspension assy. has to come out and new spring perches have to be installed to accept a set of front springs, bed gets shortened...

RE: wash CARC has a number of features that are hard to beat. It's roughly equal to an industrial-grade rhino-lining for the exterior and so forms a continuous plastic 'skin'. With the addition of various gritty additives like ground quartz and other nasties to it's formula, it's also IR...

If the CARC is damaged by a car wash it wasn't applied correctly. It's one of the more bullet-proof coatings I've come across. (Just read some of the posts about what a 'treat' it is to remove) CARC is like a plastic coating when done right and is formulated that way to keep chemical agents from...

All diesels like; clean fresh air and lots of it-- very little to no exhaust restriction-- and good,clean fuel. If you can supply it with those then it should run good and strong with little or no "tweaking". Remember that the further away from stock, the more tempermental a vehicle becomes. All...

VERY Nice!!!

PM me.

Great looking truck! If it's straight and near complete there isn't anything keeping you from ending up with a real keeper. Bill and OSO, The forward facing exhaust is part of the deuce anti-smog package. The ram air effect crams the exhaust back into the system. If it can't get out, it can't...

Unfolding how? There are Palletized Loading Systems, Load Handling Systems, Bridge Transporters, The launcher for a THAAD missile battery; the list goes on and on. Go to google, click on the images tab, do a search for HEMTT and see if anything looks familiar.

Not sure how I lucked out but I have plenty of clearance on the baby HEMTT. The "garbage truck wheels" ('cause scrapped garbage trucks are what my truck wrecker sees them on mostly) have a different offset than the HEMTT wheels and that puts my fronts closer together, but I still come up against...

Thanks Chuck. If they're the same relay times four then I ought to be able to piece together a number with that many samples.

Chuck, Did you happen to write the relay numbers down; or are they marked? I've got one that's acting up and was going to tear into it to see if it's fixable.

Kenny, there may be a few hitting the market. NG motor pools got an order to pull all the push button switches and put the three levers back in.

The early push button switches had problems and occasionally set themselves on fire. The biggest problem we ran into was when the switches were installed and the ground wire was not connected first, as there's a little mini-computer inside that's static sensitive. I suggest carrying a...

Not to run the entire 12 volt half of a truck but for something like a single component, a voltage reducer is practical; just make sure it'll handle the amperage requirement on a continuous not peak basis. YES to getting a PSA on a yearly basis. I'm also an advocate of colonoscopys. Unpleasant...

This may get me some flak for being sexist or non-PC but here goes; 1. Hope you get an inspector who's a guy 'cause they're usually more familiar with how much work a piece needs to get it anywhere close to usable and if it looks "pre-mutilated" they can see that it's near junk anyway. A lot of...

Congrats on the clean bill of health!! Just my two cents on the 24v vs. 12v question. 24 volts is "stock" and correct for MVs but pricey and can stall you out if you lose a component and haven't got any extras on board. I personally haven't had a lot of luck with volt-a-drops and the like so I...

Which trans/transfer case are you working on? If it's like mine then you've got air lines to it and then on to the transfer case. Hard to say without looking at it but it's a possibility that the fitting you describe may have come loose or broken off in which case I'd look around for some...

Yeah, everybody I've talked to says drums are better although they're not the one wrestling 1600X20s and 80# brake drums off and on to do a brake job. Jouquin Suave is right about drums being better and Cranetruck has a good point on ventilating drums for all the right reasons. I'd be trolling...

Come on Mike... give 'em a point for the racy, abbreviated front skid-plate. Although the spare mounted sideways may act like sail and slow them back down a mite.
