2cents O.k. here goes set a budget bid to that! make sure you have some "extra" funds to fix if you by from GL or GSA. these trucks that are turned out by those agencies have exceeded their "useful" life. That's not to say they are cr*p, but the agency that had them made a financial decision to...

had a similar problem on a civvy model, but it was an amp not shutting off. I unhooked the battery cable to ground and put an ampmeter between to complete. It was reading about 2 Amps, with nothing on, started disconnecting amps and found the problem. You do the same, and see if you can isolate...

I'm running Toyo Open Country M/T's (33x12.5x15's) on mine. They seem to be doing pretty good so far. Probably 2k miles on them, mostly blacktop and no issues. I do know they are a "soft" compound and I will probably only get 40 - 45k miles from them if I drive them only on the asphalt. I also...

does the resistor have the standard color ring on it? I guess it is a cylindrycal resistor? If so send the ring colors in sequence and I will dig out an old electronics book that will have the values based on location.

CycleJay, Start the post and find out which SS members are on your route! That's the best way to make sure to get there and back if you have a problem. I've read several posts about roadwarriors that set out and get slowed by a problem until they contact a nearby SS member Good Luck. IF you...

Several old posts on this subject. Have you done a search yet? The tach for the diesel is available at any parts store or on-line. Need to specify Diesel Tach. Which engine temp? Exhaust Gas, Oil, Water......? Again these are just regular gauges mentioned in several other posts. I just added a...

Welcome to the affliction, addiction!! You find a MV yet? have you heard about the rally in Bryan this November?

Gotta love the center console. I put one in mine last week, but haven't done the cup holders or pad. I'm roughin it for now. I'll get around to it next big mod push. I really like the lock ring as well, didn't think of that but since I don't lock the truck.... protected by my dog and weapons...

One comfortable ride!! Looks great, but I agree with the post on the size of the slider bolts.... look really small for use. should be as strong (big) as the rest of the mounting components for safety

My opininion, your are asking for trouble doing this. The metal lines take a lot abuse, even tucked up in frame. I would suggest doing the "pressure"test on the metal lines to confirm your assumptions.

If the engine went through a Hydro lock, you will find thing bent, or broken. First to bend are pushrods, then valve stems and finally the rods, before pushing through the bottom of the pistons...... maybe find a broken crank, but that would be extreme, although not unheard of. Did you first...

My choices for engine oil ..... Rotella, Mobil-Delvac, as long as they meet the SC, Sd-SE requirements of the engine.... I've never run a diesel into the ground, so it must be the oil, cause I've tried..... Biggest secret to longetivity is Clean Oil, and good filters my2cents

SWEET Truck!!!!! It looks like it came directly from a Military unit, not bastardize by a civy gooberment owner, other than the fuse block "fix". I'm amazed that it has all the "goodies", radio mounts, fuel can holder, other stuff..... Good luck, you're on the right track with the fluid...

Did you say 500 for a rebuilt TH400 and a NEW TC????? that has to be the bargain of the decade. I got a quote in Houston for about 1500....... rebuilt TH400, new TC all flushed and ready to roll..... for 500 I'd do that in a heartbeat If you've used the guy before and he did you a good job, why...

This thing puts out 100W?????? After one of you buy it, hook it up to an O scope, I'm curious to see how "clean" the output power is. I know the MOSFET amp is a good power source, but am curious about the small size and extreme heat build up at that wattage. I was going to mount Amps in place of...

Do you have the appropriate TM for the truck? There is a great expanded picture in the TM, it should give you everything you need to know. INcluding how to disassemble and assemble the entire lot. The cylinder should bbe held by a retainer clip or screw. The cylinder should NOT be showing pins...

Who's doing the BBQ for this "Wing-Ding"? And if it gets that cold, "40", I guess I'll have to bring my poncho liner for warmth....

two.fiveM35.... thanks, I realize no NEED for the full 50 AMPs but this thing is huge..... I'm sure he'll want to run the fireplace and washer dryer if needed.... no seriously... I'm not sure he would want to convert down to something ...... sounds like we laod up the generator and haul it as...

Camper needs 50Amp hook-up but if not I can bring the generator...... Not sure about the sewer hookup, guess if we dont eat very much we can just use onboard storage or the clubhouse breakroom....

DId you use the "long" lens to get the pics?rofl Looks like a "covert" pic grab.... Just go down and knock on the door, heck drive up in yours, or better yet have YOUR wife drive up in yours.......[thumbzup] that will certainly get his attention, then just casually stroll up and take over the...
