Pics or it didn't happen. Yes, research is important. I'm not tearing the drivetrain out of my operating truck and then starting to look everything up. I don't like downtime. The ISL arrival actually pulled ahead the Roadranger install. Otherwise, I was only going to do it if/when the...

Anybody have any M939 LWS related items? I'm looking for 2 rear mount vertical legs, roof hatch hole (from another vehicle to adopt to mine), along with anything for the turret itself such as seat/backrest, mounts, etc.... Will be there Saturday. Thanks.

Those would not do it. 15 amps @ 24/28 volts is only 420 watts of power, which is only 1/2hp, compared to the stock 15hp unit. NFW. Plus, A/C condenser will be self contained up on the roof, Red Dot R-9777. Like everything else, already purchased, awaiting install.

It does have a switched fan control output signal, and manual fan override dash switch input options. I could even use that to actuate my stock air clutched fan, but the stand alone design of the stock systems seems fine, I like it. Agree on the throttle, I was also thinking now at this...

Same thoughts here. Stay tuned.

Beat me. I was just going to ask what isle all the hot chicks will be in.

The stock 8.3's run great, especially on the freeway. I would not have done this if I didn't find the ISL for cheap. I may still hit some wall that prevents it from taking hold, but, I'm posting everything except my bathroom breaks in case it works out well.

Michigan. We get all sorts of snow. Mine has not been stuck in snow yet, but it slips and spins easier than I would have expected it to in snow. Seems to have better traction off road in mud and such. No lockers, just conventional open diffs.

My guess would be pretty low. I think that to be the case for any wheeled vehicle in snow?

I really can't stand sitting at this desk right now. I'm heading out to get the clutch, pilot bearing, alignment tool, and clutch brake (all same place). That should complete the major grocery list of what is needed to make this happen. May take truck as-is to Findlay, and off-road park, and...

Interesting thread. I read some but not all of it. It looks like he also used an SAE #2 housing on both just from a visual. The thread dead ended, so we don't know what the outcome was. His transfer case move may be due to the original 250 engine being longer than the 8.3L, and/or it seems...

Throttle controller arrived for the ISL. This is a cool piece. Made for marine powerplant updates to retain mechanical throttle cable, yet transforms it to accel position sensor and idle validation switch. Has a nice linear feeling return spring on it, comes with 108 cable end fittings, and...

Christmas in May. Used hydraulic clutch master and slave arrived. Matched pair, both made by Wabco for the Roadranger trannys, so should work. Has a clutch pedal switch to cancel cruise control if I want to use it. Of course they use some proprietary hose fitting..... The French hate us...

Would love electric fans, but scared they are just not powerful enough. The stock mil fan is rated at like 15hp at full engine RPM, you can feel when it is on. No way electric can come even close to that. I'll never be loaded like this truck was in the desert pulling a 155mm across the sand...

Correct updated knob bezel and dash card for the updated handle. Seems if I can count to 8, we should be all set? Anybody care to wager on that? We should actually be taking bets on whether it is going to fit or not. That seems to be the utmost question as to what has ever prevented this...

Yes, the 6 speed auto Allison 3000 MH will be sold. Complete with controller and relay box. PM me if you want it. Rated to 1400ft-lbs. I am going 13 speed overdrive Roadranger manual with this ISL, traded grendel some stuff for it. 10-4 on the fan, I will transfer over my mil Horton one...

Yeah! And stay out!

Yes. It will cause the front of the truck to fold into a taco and push the engine into the cab when you hit a wall because the air system bled down and you didn't know so, leaving you 0% service braking ability. These trucks are old, everything on them is failure prone. If you are annoyed at...

That's still one of my favs. I'm blaming everything on that from now on. No. The guy left the trans on the engine, and that drove me to load it differently than I planned, so tires later. I'll be busy for a while anyway with this.

So, my truck almost caught fire, or so it seemed anyway. When I picked up the engine, I wanted the frame mounted fuel filter because one had a WIF (water in fuel) sensor in the base of it, so you just add a dash light for it. Anyway, I put both cut off filters in the bed of my truck. 5 miles...
