    Horn air valve sticking

    My horn works ok other than the fact that the valve leaks enough to constantly actuate it. It is faint enough that it can be barely heard above the engine noise, just concerned if it fails any more I'll be driving down the road at full blast annoying everyone around. I pulled the valve assembly...

    MTVR air dryer purge valve sticking open

    I'm losing air pressure through the valve on the bottom of my air dryer. I pulled the rubber 90 degree boot on the bottom to gain access, and can push the valve closed to build pressure. when the pressure periodically relieves, the valve sticks open again. I searched all over, wondering if...

    MTVR Speedometer way off.

    My speedo shows nearly double my true speed. Not a huge issue in my mind but the odometer is running away at the same rate. Does anyone know what the issue might be? Can it be re calibrated electronically or mechanically somehow? Thanks guys!

    MTVR armor?

    I finally got my EUC cleared, truck delivered. I only drove it a short distance to put it in my hangar until I get it insured. Man, I am so impressed with the condition and the truck itself! I have had 3 5 tons and the overall look and feel of this thing is amazing. I would ultimately like to...

    I seem to have a small leak from my transfer case at the flange around the opening where the rear drive shaft enters the case.

    1919 pintle fitment problem MK64

    Something that should be so easy never seems to be! I bought a reproduction 1919 pintle to attach the fake M2HB to my MK64 cradle. It wont drop low enough for the spring loaded lock to engage the lathed grooves in the cone shaped tail of the pintle. All it needs is perhaps 1/8 inch and it would...

    Just a quick question for folks with a cupola and shield setup, ... ever had any law enforcement issues driving around in public?

    Parking brake install

    So I am wondering if the replacement of a new parking brake is an easy bolt off and on proposition or is it a pita? I have the old style and it is a little beat without the safety release button. I would like to slap a new one in, but I already have plenty of projects on this thing that will...

    I want to mount a coupla to the turret I still need to install. I think I have most of the parts, but will see as I go. I downloaded all the TM's I can find to get the turret installed, but not sure how the coupla mounts to the turret. I have the older style hatch with the two appendages...

    Help with Fording exhaust/ sponson louver clearance.

    I have a deep water fording kit and want to install vent louvers on my left slant back sponson. I wont get to the exhaust for a bit, but it looks like I might have to mount the louvers far enough forward that they may run underneath the pipe. The louvers stick out a bit less than an inch from...

    I bought a new solenoid to replace one that was inop. It is the solenoid that allows the engine to start (I took it off and have been overriding it with the emergency shutoff handle in the cab). I threw the new one on (Chinese part) and it worked a few minutes until it went up in heat and smoke...
