    Sound Insulation

    . That is a really impressive reduction in sound. I would imagine that it will help keep out the heat as well. Heck, it might even cause you to need to service hour cab heater in the winter :)

    24V siren electric current

    . Might be a silly question, but is there an oil hole anywhere on the Sir-EA-ne ? Seems like it is drawing "too much juice" but I wouldn't jump to a 20amp fuse. The bearings could be a little dry from sitting around for several years. Can you easily turn the rotor by hand easily (without...

    1985 Saurer 6dm overland vehicle

    . The thing about these trucks is the drive shafts need to be properly indexed. A lot of that comes from whomever removes the drive shafts. Then there are the other bunch who install the shaft that is laying on the bed of the truck when GP auctions them off. Balancing drive shafts is a plus...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . Okay, so it is pretty sad but my accomplishment for the week for my 5-Ton was to open the back door and look outside. I walked out around the truck one time, opened each door and looked in, then came back inside to enjoy the air conditioning. Sad, but cooler weather is coming soon.

    the list goes on.

    . Hey, but what you have is looking pretty good! That looks like a really nice place to start...

    Extra Cab Top Bows?

    . I can't remember who, but one of the LMTV guys who has a YouTube channel had a posting about saggy canvas. Either he has a friend or possibly he is an electrician because he used conduit. That created more support and less space for water to pool. He cut pieces several inches too long, then...

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    . So, silly question here: If there is a canvas top - would you ever lock the doors? If the doors are locked, what does a replacement canvas cost when the crackhead cuts your top open?

    Uprights and Bows - What do I have?

    . Looking at the 4th picture - from the inside of the truck - that Bow looks like 3 pieces to me. Can't tell for sure. My kit looks just like what you have but the uprights slip inside of the "bowed" part of the upright. My plans were to setup the bandsaw and cut mine all the same length if...

    Brake issue, ideas welcome

    . Yes Sir. The English language has a lot of pitfalls There and Their and They're. Lot of others too: Fair and Fare, Die and Dye, For and Four and that is just a few. I wonder how much our military might have used the subtleties of our language to eliminate potential enemies. As far as...

    M37 radio?

    . There are those who don't know how to read a paper map too. Like the old tube type radios, a paper map will still be working after the first EMP. I have folks who I know that couldn't make their way across town if their cell phone died. Sad but true... Hard part is that with the old...

    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    . Guess that way if you have the SatLink enabled going down the highway, you don't collect bugs... The bubble reminds me of the Lost in Space show back in the 60's. Funny how the bubble on the Military Vehicle (Fire Truck) looks a lot more "beefy" than the plastic in the links above.

    Gaskets -- do you make them or source them already made?

    . Yes Sir! I have the neat little red box and the punches that fit the handle. Getting a good piece of close grain wood or better yet - a nylon block is a requirement to use the punches. Using a piece of soft pine ends up tearing your gasket - then you start over... Like you said though, a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    . Go Man Go! m715mike you should definitely have more than two :cool: Sure is nice to have a slave cable and the spare truck.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    . I picked up a set of Bows and a cover about a month ago. I was told when I transferred the parts from their vehicle to mine that the uprights would be too long. I didn't ask at the time "how much" but thanks for the test fit ;-) Not sure about the cross dressing truck. I have seen a few...

    1078 LMTV A0 windshield wiper

    Toyota 4runner. Sorry I don't have better info, but taking a blade to the local parts house should get you what you need. ---- or ---- The OEM ones are made by Sprague and the part number is S-4706 . Sprague parts come from Rome Trucking. http://www.rometruckparts.com Fluid Nozzle that...

    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    . Oh yeah! A minigun, a spare electric motor and a trailer full of ammo. Gee... Sounds like a Christmas wish list to me. :)

    New Member, New M 817 Owner

    . I happened to be searching for the type of fuel lines to use on the 5-Ton fuel tank selector valve. While on that quest, I discovered the fuel tank selector valve rebuild thread and thought it might be worth sharing here. The original post was written by AMGeneral on October 4th 2011. Same...

    LMTV - Sound Proofing & Insulation Mods (Post Your Proofing)

    . Oh, and after reading all this - it is not a reference to YOU. Just the you in the nitwit doing stupid stuff. NOT YOU personally! Yes sir. A lot like these HMMWV registration problems. Silencers, 50bmg, handgun on the streets of New York. All of the above should be legal. Second...

    . But it is DIFFERENT. Really need to mount a pair of 50's up there and turn that into a ball turret :tank:

    I have a m35a2 1971 am general with a no throttle response problem. Any ideas on what is the fix is? Thank you Jerry.

    . I have to ask... What inside the IP had to get bumped enough to start fuel moving? Just guessing - you were using a nylon hammer or similar? Dry fuel maybe it needed something with a little lube in it? Just fishing. Just curious . . .
