    yeah the blower motor is not blowing at all, the low coolant light is staying on even though the radiator and attached tank are full.

    CUCV heater problem

    OK so my heater stopped working. The low coolant light is on (yes there is coolant in the radiator and reserve) but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. Could it be a fuse and if so where is the fuse box?

    Spotted these yesterday...

    Teething problems after 10 yrs? These things need a root canal. The only good things about the LMTV are that is hauls A$% when needed and the run flat system. Other than that, maintenence is a nightmare unless you actually have it in a shop and the center of gravity is way to high, etc. etc. etc.

    generator squeals

    It only squeals when I engage the start electrical switch, and it is starting to burn up one of the belts. but once I turn the switch off with the engine running it is fine. so I guess I may have to get a new one.

    generator squeals

    Just replaced the generator in my M35 with a takeout from an engine I replaced 2 years ago. It charges the batteries fine but squeals. Any suggestions to correct this?
