    New 6.2 diesel radiator hose help...M1009

    2 piece hose is not the usual set up. You can probably plug the "red canister" hose and go with the correct hose, or cut a section out of the new hose for the tee for the smaller hose.

    Substandard quality parts

    The majority of the genuine US parts have been used up long ago. Now we are seeing poor quality imports. The military jeep crowd has been dealing with this for years.

    M920/916/915 Air Conditioner

    OK, quick explation of the 915/916/920 electrical system: 4 batteries, 2 in parallel for 12V, the second 2 also in parallel for 12V, both battery banks in series for 24V. 24V is used for the starter motor, 12 volts for everything else. The alternator produces 12 volts at 100 amps to charge...

    M920/916/915 Air Conditioner

    Y'all don't forget the 915/916/920's alternator can only produce like 10 amps to charge the second set of batteries. Not enough for the HMMWV A/C. Jim, how did you work around this? Trucks looking better every day!

    Question to M37 Owners

    Here is the M37 S-144 tiedown. There should be 4 of these with the cables criss-crossing.

    Question to M37 Owners

    There is a sleeve that slides over the tubular edge of the bed. I have one if you need a pic.

    Deuce/5 ton ROPS Kit?

    In light of the tragic James Ruman/Shootiniron accident 7/1/11, I think we should put our collective minds together and design a roll over protective structure (ROPS) for the Deuce and 5 ton that could prevent future fatalities/injuries from rollovers. The design should clamp to the truck...

    lost my "Death Wobble" virginity

    Hey, tacticalloader, welcome to the site, can we get some side pics of your SECM M1031 with the 37's??? Looks like you did a arch cutout over the rears with no lift front or rear? I'm planning installing the 37's on my identical truck and would like to see what you did.

    3 HMMWV recovery Ft. Polk, LA -> Memphis, TX

    Most trucks/equipment at Ft Polk seems to have been run hard and put up wet. I will be interested to see if you guys end up with creampuffs or worn out 1985 998's.

    M37 Brake Wheel Cylinders

    The bores have to be free of pits or the wheel cylinder will fail again.

    Spotted at Ft Sam

    Somewhere at one of the AF bases in SA is some kind of bone yard where ancient stuff like this is just sitting. My M915A1 came from there and it looks like it sat unsused since the mid 80's. I would be curious where this yard is. This MUTT looks like a A1 from the late 1960s.

    Receiver hitch, trailer plug, & brake controller

    That is the problem with this type of install. Now the lifting/tiedown shackle box tubing is no longer attached to the frame because they cut it off.

    1953 m38a1

    That 4" shackle is not available that I am aware of. If your spring is resting on the frame with the smaller shackle, you are due for a re-arch.

    Hemtt Rim Oring source???

    OK, folks, this is about to drive me nuts. Ordered the O rings from Erik's Surplus, wrong: too small cross section. Went to American Packing and Gasket, the largest O ring house in Houston, don't have them, have to custom manufacture them, none on ebay, none in classifieds, none at Myers...

    M54A1 Mack manufacturer info needed

    So you guys are saying that Kaiser Jeep installed Mack engines at some point? Hmm.

    found a M123 in Winchester VA today...

    Nice truck, someone sure did a lot of pro fabrication on it to make it a fire apparatus, too bad it all has to come off.

    The Wife is Screamin, For Joy or Pain, I can,t tell

    Chevy will tip the scales right under 10,000. Now's the time to use your double chain towbar adapters on the front bumper if you plan to flat tow. Better check for oil in the diffs and transfer. Good luck!
