. Any chance that the brake line to the rear axle is pinched or kinked somewhere along the frame?

. Smart Plan @Mainsail ! There are 4 rubber insulator pieces (if memory serves me). Two on the bottom and two on the top of the tanks of the radiator...

. Well, the good news is that your truck won't get lost in the parking lot. :cool: I guess that is part of the magic of fixing old MV's. You make it your own and paint it how you like it...

That really is a good looking truck! Seems that those last few pictures are the reward for getting all the hard word done - and a little relaxation time is definitely in order!

. Nice looking "Tipper"!

. Not sure your age, but where I am now the AC makes me a lot less grumpy for sure! I know it takes more juice - and we could always cut down if things got really bad - but being cool... Well it almost is a requirement these days! :)

. Suggest that you search and there is a guy here with parts available to solve your problems. @Milcommoguy has done a lot of writing about the HMMWV and wiring and glowplugs and cleaning up the connections in the wiring harness.

. THAT would be a miserable drive for sure! Slickum on a rubber gasket takes WEEKS to dry up. Amazing how a piece of 1/8th inch nylon cord will hustle that rubber into place - without any Slickum too. I can still remember our truck drivers giving the mechanics lots of hot air if they had ANY...

. Getting that ZAP sound will wake you right up though!

. Nice Information!! Thanks for sharing too!

. Another brake locking device was discussed in another forum. Kinda interesting - and this piece of hardware was still being manufactured in the 1980's by BrakeLok. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/brakes-not-releasing.202320/post-2356252

. I seem to remember a recent conversation about an aluminum replacement radiator. Might have been @Skinny that mentioned it possibly?

. Didn't think about that in that way... It could be "really cool" flying down the highway - in the winter - in the snow - and with the window on the drivers side blown out... And NOT in the good cool way either!

. I Like it! Really sharp looking bumper project for sure. The rough finish by way of spray bed liner is really cool. I used the same thing on the grille for my M1088 and M1089. It has held up nicely this past year...

. Unless you plan to just tie the synthetic rope through the hole - NO. There is no "wedge" for the synthetic to attach to the drum.

. Welcome to the site as a member! Happy to hear that you are in the paper business too. I am in what they call the "fine paper" business where the paper we use is smoother. :) We put ink on paper and hand it to folks who go read what we do (maybe in the room where they use the paper that you...

. Having the key is the answer then I guess... And they get grumpy when their bus isn't fully operational without you.

. Sad but true it seems...

. Wow! That beats the heck out of the ePay listing for more than twice the money!! Great find @Barrman
