OK, now that my jake brakes have arrived I'm once again making forward progress on the wiring between the grenade and the brakes; particularly the relay that the grenade activates. I'm using a type 191 five prong 12 volt relay and wiring it to be ground triggered as shown in this diagram: The...

Thanks for taking that extra picture - much appreciated! It sounds like the HT3B is a divided entry turbo and installing it on an engine that formerly had a single entry turbo without modifying the jake brakes is no bueno. Will Wagner has explained more about it in this post (among...

Looking good Artisan! I like your attention to detail and the clean routing of the harness. For the curious, like myself, could you please post a close up picture of that Jake brake warning label on your rear valve cover? I'd like to know what it warns about.

I've seen the truetrac available for a Dana 70HD - a little bigger than a humvee but I haven't searched for anything bigger.

Someday I hope the ARB air locker group buy gets off the ground again with enough interest to start production.

It will be top-heavy so one has to be careful. What's nice about the floor jack aside from hydraulic advantage is that it can be lowered to get the center of gravity closer to the ground. The round loop on the top allows a chain fall or cherry picker to be used from above, but the hub would...

I saw some other pictures that showed it hauling a portable ICBM launcher.

Would one leave it stock or bob it and put an M105 trailer bed on it? ;) hehehe

I thought the Army and Marines had big trucks like the M125 or M911 but it looks like the air force puts them all to shame with their '79 Terex MX 8x8...

I'm missing 3 oil supply screws (p/n 199225) and I cut off 3 of those special stud nuts that were rusted on. Does anyone have any extra of these they don't need anymore?

Maybe a pre-2007 C15...

My search for 425A Jakes for a decent price proved fruitless so I ordered a 25B kit and it just arrived today!

Isn't the N-14 the last iteration of the 855 engine? It seems like if that's true, a swap should be kinda straight forward right? Are they way more spendy than a Big Cam?

I'm wondering if this 1500° Duracoat might work. The OD green color looks close and if it's good enough for suppressors and machine gun barrels it should hold up. https://www.duracoatfirearmfinishes.com/products/duraheat-2-0-high-temperature-coating?variant=40632469193

Did this coating have a name or any other identifier?

I've read that CARC is not supposed to be applied to parts that get hot so what did the military do and what can I do to paint my exhaust stack with a green that will last? Is there a high heat product that works and matches well enough?

Thanks for the correction! I remember my college roommate flooding the kitchen with foam by using the wrong stuff. It puts on quite a show - a show I would like to avoid

Well this isn't my truck but it looks like the entire dash is a custom setup so it must be like a generic key switch. Those Military Guys have keyed switches that hook right up to our harnesses. Another outfit has keys that look like the standard switch levers.

Still not sure, but my drivers seat and empty fire extinguisher bracket on the tranny tunnel make that kind of noise. The truck in this video has several slaps and clunks that sound like the noises inside my cab. Are the tranny tunnel bolts all tight? Does the noise only happen when hitting...

My expanded metal stone guard in front of the radiator can get loose at times...
