Rebuilding the caliper is the same as any modern vehicle.

You said "fan is locked up when aired up". This occurs when the clutch sticks and often corrects itself, but sometimes not. If not, see my thread on the subject.

With the military is is more of a "train like you fight" reason. Personally, for a while I was driving my tactical vehicles with a construction hard hat, but I suppose I have become lazy and quit doing that. I believe heavy CVCs and eye protection interfere with rapid head movement and...

It would appear that your garage no longer has walking trails through it anymore just like mine. Thanks for the heads up on the tool kits, that is a super price, usually tools go high.

Since the correct warning light for the FMTV is unavailable, I thought I would see if one of the available HET convoy warning light kits would be suitable for the FMTV. Seems like the HET kit was made for the FMTV as well. See pics, the bracket has a notch that fits perfectly around the roof...

The twin L brackets on the front panel tell me the trailer is a 1950's M100 with a tailgate cut in. A new repro rear panel can be easily welded in and is available from the various MD Juan dealers.

Perfect placement. That's where they are in our fire truck.

I think they are way too tall to be usable for almost anything. That is my only gripe.

Not my trailer, heisted the photo from a ebay listing. I have no use for those goofy trailers.

Wow, 75 bucks for 5 minutes work. I'm in the wrong business. Ask the Mexican dump truck drivers where they go for tire repairs. Should be like 20 for a dismount. You need a "Budd nut for a stud piloted wheel". Your heavy truck supply house will have buckets of them in stock.

Sweet. Olson Guerra Lumber in Houston has the 2" oak trailer planks super cheap. Hopefully you can find some closer though.

That rim is for a M870 trailer. Trust me, a duck bill tire hammer (Ken-Tool T11E) is the only tool you need for dismounting tires. Myers Tire Supply will fix you right up. Did the Hydroax mount the 172 without ramps?

The serp water pump is reverse rotation from the V belt water pump. V belt problems are usually from sheave misalignment or improper tightening.

Here is a pic of the 5 ton trailer. See where the CTIS hose ends up on a little bracket. On the truck, the hose ends up on a special hollow wheel stud.

Mine was a non runner. This was back when GL was selling them. Took 5 gal of diesel and a slave start to get her running and driving.

The only surplus yard in Houston was Houston Truck and Equipment at 6717 Long Drive. They closed about 10 years ago. I ended up with lots of the inventory, which I have yet to sort through. PM me with what you are looking for, I may have it. I am south of Houston.

I see you removed the upper radiator pipe? Is this to drain the cooling system in advance of installing the new heater? Reason I ask is because I was able to remove the upper shroud with the pipe in place. Took a little prying.

Did you visit the Niehoff website? There is a lot of good diagnosis info there.

Wait till Fish and Wildlife sees an oil sheen around it. Party over. What a ignorant thing to do to a $10,000 truck.

Looks like the bracket is missing. 1-800-SUPRMAN
