The civilian H1 uses the same engine/transmission in some of the models sold, and there are some of them out there well over 100k miles. If you take care of it, then it will last pretty much forever, and can be rebuilt down the line. If you don't take care of it, you might not even hit a...

I don't want to! You can't make me! just kidding. Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone else.

I'm the one that made lots of comments over on the facebook post. One thing I thought of later: All the hose fittings are reusable, but getting new bands to secure them is recommended. If you are careful you can pry them apart without damaging them. I used a pair of CV boot clamp pliers to...

the straight doors are for trucks with a certain armor/cab on them. They don't fit properly without that design. I believe it's the M1113/M1114 that they go to. So no, without doing a lot of work to the cab and roof of the truck they will not work.

Ibistek is a bumper system, not a brush guard. It WILL provide better protection down lower and in the center, but not at the outer edges of the hood. You don't lose towbar capability with the luverne using the correct brackets. See link below, upper set of holes are for brush guard, lower...

As for getting the old ones out of the frame, the most efficient way is to remove the windshield assembly from the truck, drill all the rivnuts out, and then turn it upside down and shake it back and forth with the plugs behind the wiper pivots removed for them to fall out of. Other than that...

the channel the gasket sits in is more of an alignment for install, not an actual retainer.

the 4 of them right below the windshield? there is supposed to be a bracket bolted on there to retain the bottom of the windshield gasket. A little sealant and a bolt works fine. Most of the water coming down on my feet is from around the start box plug

So the one you have now offers more hood protection than many of the others short of the predator style, as most of the military ones for the GMV trucks focused more on pushing stuff out of the way and keeping the truck moving, not on protecting the fiberglass of the hood. The W style front...

For parts of the fuel system you can blow out afterwards with compressed air, I buy denatured alcohol by the gallon from the hardware store. If it isn't something you can blow/dry out afterwards, then diesel or kero will be fine.

Kerosene and diesel are pretty close; Kero is just much more highly refined. There shouldn't be any issues if mixed with regular diesel, but running it straight might not provide enough for the injection pump leading to premature failure. JP-8 is a 100% kerosene fuel with additives, and...

the check valves aren't really needed, so once they are removed just forget about them.

so afterglow is it's sending short bursts of voltage through the glow plugs to keep them warm. They already warmed up during the main cycle, and if you continued to apply constant voltage they would overheat and burn out. The pulse is just one way to keep them warm, but not overheat them...

I'll partially agree with papakb. Unless you are taking your truck into the middle of nowhere with no cell reception, and a dead battery might be the difference between life and death, and you're running everything off the batteries without the truck running (things like radios, lights...

DEX 6 is only backwards compatible in transmissions. GM put out a service bulletin about it causing premature failures in some type of gearbox (I think transfer cases) DEX III is readily available still, below are just a few examples...

Yesterday's Veteran's Day Parade

circuit breaker for the transmission control module.

the only reason to get a larger charger is if you expect to have to charge up the batteries from dead/low in a shorter amount of time. Since the purpose here is as a float/maintainer, you can use the smaller one no problem. Also, since it's almost that time of year, NO.CO has had some pretty...

the instructions include several different ways to manufacture mounts to hold the drum lying down, which I believe is also necessary if using the fuel can adapter. Fuel can adapter relies on a gasket to prevent leakage, whereas the instructions here are all threaded pipe fittings. The fuel can...

I can't imagine it's very complicated to do, but I'd love to see how the military thinks it should be done.
