Roger this pic was in the magazine article you posted in the 9th ID Facebook Group. Looks like aluminum blocks clamped around the rear frame tubes with a flat bar connecting both sides, that supported the stowage shelf overtop the engine bay.
Is that an Empi air filter box over the carb...
These are scanned from the Hobby Boss FAV model, good for a starting point to camouflage your FAV in either the MERDC environmental camouflage pattern used early on or the 1986 and later 3 color (Olive, Brown & Black) NATO camouflage pattern. The MERDC needs Sand splotches added or replacing...
On G503 DDTrustee said the FAV mud skirts are made from some sort of rubber conveyer belt material (that is expensive).
This company specializes in recycling/repurposing of industrial materiel including a large selection of multiple ply 1/4" to 1" thick conveyer belt rubber, in various widths...
In the worse case scenario I can't find a semi local shop to shoot my HMMWV, I bought 2 gallons of Tan686 Mil-DTL-53039E Type IX Coating Aliphatic PU.
I google the Mil-DTL-53039E, all I get is beta beta prime chloro ethyl ether nonsense.
I Ass/U/Me Type IX is POLYURETHANE based?
And...
Have any of you experience removing the Intake Manifold on the 6.5l NA GEP engine block trucks? The studs and bolts I have a chart for what goes where and what needs teflon pipe sealant and what needs Loctite 272. But one of the metric bolts is shorter than the others. I'm worried I...
Hello, I am no mechanic, only a parts changer that can read the TMs and perform minor tasks.
Motorpool Gremlins hit me pretty bad in April, the alternator went, melted the red rubber boot, smoked, and killed the Smart Start Box.
While investigating I discovered this truck actually been using...
Application: Stanadyne DB2831-5149 Injection Pump on 1995 M1025A2 6.5l NA
Fault: Throttle valve leaking diesel out the driver side when vehicle reaches warm idle speed, diesel pools up in the gallery between cylinder heads, cascades over the transmission bell when vehicle accellerates, diesel...
I've seen a couple M9XX LWS build threads but I haven't seen the dims for the main base plate for the turret/bearing, the square with cut corner plate, looks like 3/8" thick or so. Would somebody happen to know the dims from an actual install or from making your own base plate?
OK, went through the process to replace the portal hub side CV Boot on the right, front Halfshaft of 1994 M1097A1. I quadruple checked the components before stretching the boot over the cup and spindle ends, bearing cage taper side towards the hub. I crimped the CV Boot Bands, went to...
Are the M1113/M1114 and A2 Engine Harnesses the same pinout at the Smart Start Box plug? The under 299,999 serial number engine I got came with a slightly damaged Engine Harness, the two wires with lugs to the Alternator (Sense and AC #2A and #468) got separated from the main harness and the...
Replaced Battery Cables: Short in Negative SubHarness to Starter & Engine
Edit: The buyer stopped by yesterday to test drive it again, and we found the electrical problem by accident. After I had checked the voltage on the starter switch I guess I crossed the two hot Packard connectors...
8/10 of the Bay postings for the A2 Airlift Bumper Mud Flap Kits says the plastic filler pieces that fit between the bumper and the wheelhouse bottom edges are cracked or broken. Are these parts even necessary?
Any way to fix, they look like they are made form the polystyrene that can't...
The Dash 10 isn't very detailed, couldn't find a video on Youtube, reference the Spare Tire Strap Assembly, where do you secure the hook end to? Best I can guess is the hook it to the 3" wide rod seen to the right of the tire cradle in the below photo.
Cargo Cover Straps, supposed to be 2x 1.5"...
Like it says, I manually pumped up the cab tilt so I could replace the fan clutch airline and throttle position sensor. I tried to lower it using the hydraulic manifold controls but I can't quite get it to pass the balance point in order to secure everything before it rains like **** tomorrow...
Hello, I don't know whether the neighbor's cat was up under the cab or if it was just time for it to break, but when I started up Mad Max this AM I heard a slapping sound after a few seconds. I hand pumped the cab tilt to access the power pac, but the only thing I can find is a black hose...
This is an original acquired out of Poland. Materials, hardware and workmanship is probably late 90s, early 2000s London Bridge Trading out of Virginia Beach. This one looks like it will fit both the molded kevlar Ballistic Products Seats as well as the High Backs. 1000d Cordura nylon...
I just figured out why I FVBARed the hydraulic lines to the Control Manifold when I changed it out: The 24&P Manual is showing two different lines going to the same socket on the backside.
Figure 256 shows the Spare Tire lower hydr line going to Pilot and Suspension Compress
Figure 252 shows...
