Count me in.

Someone must have changed the fluid as the stuff in the cylinder was miscible with water. The kit comes with a bracket. There's a flat cross brace at that position in the cab, just three bolts, also supplied with the kit. Had to mount it on the outside of the brace as my shoulder belt runs up...

Installed a remote brake reservoir kit purchased from Big Mike's Motorpool. When I was first MV shopping I checked out a bobbed Deuce in NY that had one of these. That variant used copper tube to the brake cylinder, Mike's uses rubber hose. I'll likely go the copper route eventually but for now...

This was posted in the FMTV forum….. So they don't have map boxes? Dang, I am old...:roll:

1976 M813

Passenger side. AKA glove compartment?

Maybe it's just in the older rigs? The map box is above the tray like structure.

Mounted a 12 Way 12 Volt blade fuse block under the map box support, tapped a 24 to 12 VDC step down converter regulator, which draws from a 24 volt dual battery bank switch.

I'm running a 24V to 12V 40Amp Step down off a 24V dual battery bank switch to a 12V fuse block. The only thing I have on it are LED reversing lights and a beeper.

Been thinking about the same thing for my M813, which started life with the Air Force in Georgia...so, no heat. Found that the drivers side tool box will fit this 12 V Diesel Air Heater Haven't dropped the hammer on it yet, just musing.

Agreed, easy to disassemble and mechanically straightforward. The problem I had with mine were the poppet exhaust valves. Ran the valve heads through an ultrasonic parts washer. Freed up the ports on one of the wiper engines. Although still having problems with one poppet valve on the other wiper.

I've been hanging a reusable water pig in my tank with good results.

Drained and changed the Transmission and Transfer Case Oil with GL1 - 90W. Thanks to TechnoWeenie for solving the drain plug wrench dilemma, found that the 9/16 inch plug wrench is the best fit. No big chunks came out of either housing, nor was there a lot of metal on the plugs. The oil on...

Looks great, what was the press out pressure?

Not so much worried about the yellow metal issue. From one SS post I heard GL-4 had half the sulfur content as GL-5 and from another that the newer GL-4 and 5 were yellow metal compatible. The GL-4 I topped off the Trans with did not smell of sulfur. There was something else about mixing...

Found this data sheet at O'Reilly's, but more specifically under Applications. " O’Reilly GL-1 Gear Oil is designed for use in manual transmissions and transfer cases in on highway trucks and off-highway equipment, which require an API GL-1 gear lubricant. It may also find use in industrial...

Solved one problem, created another. But first solved my hesitation on acceleration and hard start by replacing the spin on kit I cobbled together with the original canister rig. Was experiencing a loss of power in acceleration, thought it might be a clogged filter giving me the opportunity to...

Where? Everything I found was metric,the biggest 10mm

Topped off the Differentials, the fitting appears to be a half inch square socket. Spent a day looking for an SAE square head wrench key set, could only find metric. Then I realized my half inch ratchet tool has a square head, could it be that simple?...YUP! The outer diffs were down about a...
