Decided temps less than 20 degrees F are too low to DIY, so sent the M1025 to my mechanic for installation new oil and tranny cooler, new radiator, new power steering cooler and new water pump.
She started up like a champ at 17 degrees and in the shade.

RH Inner Cowl Insulation retrofit for M998.
TM 9-2320-280-20-3 Section 10-30 misses that the wire frame indexes body holes toward the rear of the vehicle in addition to the front three bolts. Install the wire frame first indexing all of the body holes and screws. Then insert insulation pad from under the vehicle. 10-24 or 10-32 bolts/nuts secure the final assembly.
Body side holes may not be fully drilled. I had one that required drilling to size.

Not for looks, But works.
It's actually mast support system AS-1386-U and modified for transport and my needs. One man set-up, 10 minutes to on the air.
Does not move when up As for antennas I have HF dipole 1.6 MHz to 30 mHz , various Yagi's for point to point 140 to 950 mHz, an omni for on-board UHF repeater, a red blinkie light and a flag if needed. So transmitting and receiving DC to almost light. Other configurations as needed. It's what we do, LOL.
HumV... Some have turrets. I have radios, batteries not included, CAMO

Not me, but the girls seem to come out of the wood work when erect and transmitting, CAMOWith an antenna like that, is seems that you’re trying to compensate for something.
I had mentioned a few times in this thread that I thought I had an toe alignment problem with my driver's rear wheel.
The problem manifested itself as chewing up the outer edge of the tire and looking like the whole tread might be thinking about separating from the tire.
I did the chalk and string check and found everything to be within specifications. I was going to adjust the toe in a little bit but wasn't able to free the radius arm.
I have since tried two different tires and run them for many miles at higher speeds (55 or so) and the problem does not repeat. I've concluded that I must have got a bum tire that was damaged by running out of alignment on a previous vehicle.

Car is in the shoppe. Replacing my oil and tranny cooler that took a proverbial dump. Decided to spend some extra $$$ and replace my radiator as “insurance”. Well, turns out it was developing a leak.
By spending the extra $ I actually saved money as the stack is only coming apart once.
I am also replacing the power steering cooler too. Thirty year old parts I’m assuming.
Like the expression says, “a stitch in time saves nine”.
Now I will re-core the old unit as a spare.
Best,
T

Wednesdays' project was rebuilding the Surge Brakes on my Light Tactical Trailer. I replaced the master cylinder and the Break away cable. I really only needed to replace the Push Rod on the Master Cylinder but a new Master Cylinder was only $136 so I decided to replace the whole thing.
