Yup, that voltmeter talks plain English (or whatever is your native tongue). When I first got the truck I was wondering "why a voltmeter and not a temperature gauge like so many 1 gauge vehicles have". I got that question answered when dealing with my glow plugs once cool wrather rolled around...

Ok. Thought I had some research to dig into there.

Hmm, thought my truck only served in Kuwait. Good to know.

Found an AAFES (PX) $0.25 round cardboard "gift certificate" in my 5-ton. A TM in a nylon case in one of the M1082s, as well as the electric interconnect.

Leaving the hubs locked in adds excessive wear on front differential, front u-joints (axles and propeller shaft), and most likely some wear in the transfer case since that transfer wasn't designed for full-time 4x4 (even if not put in 4x4 in transfer case. I used to have a civy full-time 4x4...

Lovin' it!!

Good call. It popped loose fairly easily and I was in gravel so the dragging of one axle was effortless. I feathered the throttle. I will keep the hammer trick in mind if it does it again and isn't so easy to break loose.

Road tested mine yesterday checking the new speedometer I installed last week (which didn't remedy it). Following the TM, I changed it first with a "known working unit". So the cable must be the issue. I did previously put a drill on the lower end of the cable with my cell phone on video to see...

Take that diamond plate from above the tank and you will see the float assembly where the wire connects. It has screws around it's perimeter (approx. 3" round) and then you can carefully wriggle it out of there. Mine had brass floats and both were deteriorated and crushed. The screws were a real...

Got right high beam headlight working again, as well as right front turn signal and side marker. Had a bad connection in a crimp and the headlight sockets both are going to need replaced eventually. I jarred them both changing the inner fender. Was thinking for sure it was a bad ground when...

Truck looks nice.

Agreed!

GVWR rules! Go big!

Can I whine too? I had a CUCV with two trailers attached but was informed that only the truck or one of the trailers was the entry. Then later see tractor trailer combos put up as one unit. I feel any combo should be counted as one unit since that is how the highway patrol looks at it. But, I...

Pre 2000 has three digits with the last one being the year, leaving one uninformed which decade. After 2000 there are 4 digits and the last two are the year.

I have a couple on from the late 90s. Not up front, of course.

Changed speedometer, put a new rearmost driver's window seal in, and got new registration with weight limit raised so I can legally haul a full load in the truck with a full load on the M1082 trailers.

If you have any air leaks your "parking" brake will set anyway once you get under 60 pounds.

They probably use what's available. They have a blank check thanks to us, so cost is irrelevant (as well as adherance to road tax laws).
