I am working on a M1082 and the Air Spring Brake Valve, PN - 013596577 NSN - 4820-01-359-6577, is leaking. It appears to be from the gasket. I have done some searching but can't seem to find a cross reference to civilian part numbers. I would prefer a rebuild kit, but a direct replacement would...

Yet another guy with plans to build an S-280 into a camper. I havent picked one up yet but have some questions about how they are built. What kind of insulation do they have? I know the old school military vans (M109 and such) had the fiber inside their wall that soaked up all kinds of moisture...

So I am planning on bidding on a 5ton in a few days but I want to be sure on the post auction timeline. Obviously they want their money right away. The question I have is when can I pick up the truck? the EUC and SF97 process takes months, I am assuming the vehicle cannot legally be driven on...

I have been tossing around the idea of upgrading my axles with the 5 ton Rockwells off of an 813. A few of the advantages I can see from this would be since I am constantly at max gross weight they would give me a bigger buffer on the axles. The brakes would be larger which would be nice with...

While I was swapping out my heads I decided to upgrade my head studs to the ARP studs. I ordered the studs mentioned in the post below. The two longer studs are the same overall length as the originals, the problem is they each have approximately half an inch more threads on the block end...

So I have replaced my hub seals multiple times now, and after about 1000-1500 miles I have gear oil on the inner wheel. I started by replacing just the seals with no luck. Then I went all out and replaced bearings, races and seals. I have tried the procedure in the TM, rustystuds...

After talking to wheelspinner and a couple other 5Ton drivers I am entertaining the thought of upgrading my chassis. The ERDlator box is quite heavy and would go down the road much better on a 5ton chassis. I am trying to figure out just how much of a pain it would be to do the swap. I am...

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?143548-Brutus-Coast-to-Coast **** Solved **** Yestersay morning I bypassed my FDC and all went well yesterday. During my pre run checks this morning I found fuel coming from the #2 injector line out of the HH. I tried tightening it, no change. I...

Well my last trip ended sooner than expected but will be trying again. Got all kinds of stuff done to include a new transmission. I am feeling carefully optimistic that after all the work I should be able to make it to Ft Bragg NC by September 6. Tomorrow I will be leaving California Via 80 to...

I will be driving an all but empty 1-ton truck back to California. Below is my plan, If you need something moved let me know. I can make some deviations but will be trying to make good time on the trip. Aug 6 Leave Al for New Orleans. Aug 7 Leave New Orleans up 49 to Shreveport and head west on...

Problem was resolved with clean fuel. So for the first 1000 miles Brutus was running fine. about half way through a tank of Canadian diesel, which is a cloudy green color, he is barely running. Yesterday the trouble started when I was downshifting the RPM would shoot up as I pushed in the...

I picked up Brutus a few weeks ago and have been doing some small things to get him ready for the up coming trip the end of the month. There was already un upper console installed with switches to run the lights and spots for a radio and speakers. The center portion was made with 1/4" plywood...

Probably out of my mind but hey thats where stories come from. The end result is I have to be in Alabama on the 24th of June. I am planning to leave here on or about the 24th of May going down through California to visit family on the way then through the desert states to Lower Alabama. I am...

I did a search and didn't find anything on troubleshooting of the LED Headlight system. So from the beginning.... turned on the headlights, nothing on low beam. Tail lights and running lights came on as normal, when switched to parking lights parking lights came on, and when set to high beams...
