Some of they guys here have done "ground up" restorations. I can't claim that, and admittedly my truck was running & driving when I bought it. However, I have had to do some work on it. Fan clutch solenoid. (a side note here, I finally got around to a system test by pulling fuse CB-22 this past...

That's a nice rig. I'm personally not partial to the helmet hard top. However, I see the utility for a FD application. Post some more pics when you get the emergency lights operational! :recovry4x4:

Nice rig. Have you started to paint it, or is that the way it came? Some of the camo looks less faded than the rest.

There's some u joint info around posts 98-104 in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152023-Dan-s-M1081-Pick-up-and-Build&p=1873355&viewfull=1#post1873355 However, I agree with the need to check the hubs first. There is a spider gear reduction setup in there that need...

Yes, I went there, but my local NAPA had a mess for their air fitting parts storage. They even let me back there to rummage. I spent 30 min and could not find anything to work. I finally found the right combination of hardware and got it all hooked up.

I would love to own a HMMWV restored correctly by Retiredwarhorses some day. He got my vote. I appreciate support from Stewart & Stevenson fans.

So far, it is much better. There is no moisture purging from the tanks when I open the drain valves. We haven't had cold enough weather to find out if the brakes freeze, but I'm 95% sure the problem is fixed. I was getting water out the purge valves all the time with the finned tube version of...

Nice rig TNMTMAN. Where in TN are you located?

I kind of like the old style explosive release better... It made the cat jump more than the new one. :D The new style drier works much better though.

Heres a thread (post #15) that has info on Allison codes http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?161412-Allison-delayed-shift-from-4th-to-5th/page2&highlight=codes I'm also trying to post the PDF here, but not sure that will work.

Mark, Is it possible there is still a bubble in the coolant system somewhere? I know you've checked, but it is still acting that way

Nice rig AD. It's amazing how some trucks are already known by some on the forum. I look forward to more photos and details as you begin the build.

Sounds like a real productive day! You accomplished more than I did. I painted the fading wiper arms and took it for a spin to top off the diesel tank.
