. Cast Iron with a hole in the middle of it, On the wheel stud.

. Nice to have the right tool for the job! The counterweight would be across from that block of metal where the the CTIS bolts to the rim with those tiny screws. .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Dang right... That is pretty cool to have found a truck that you drove while you were in Service. So, you found us. Found that there are stacks of books for your truck too. Those TM's (Technical Manuals) will be really useful. Especially when you get to the...

. Generally these trucks have runflats. Having beadlocks is almost a requirement to use the CTIS (central tire inflation) function. Don't want the bead to accidentally pop off at 15 pounds of air or less. I can't tell for sure from your pictures - but do you have the CTIS Counterweight on the...

. Welcome to the Outfit! And congratulations on your New-To-You truck. Yessir, a little TLC and some rubber parts will make it and you happier. New cab support bushings behind the grille will improve ride quality. Going under the hood to check out V-Belts and rubber hoses will be time well...

. Yes sir. The short answer on the underlined part is to realize that you will be dealing with higher voltage in the HMMWV electrical system. 24 volts won't kill you but know that DC Voltage makes your muscles contract and "hold" onto whatever you have in your hand. Just think ahead before you...

. That will make a neat coffee table book! .

. Well... There is a "Cat Pipe" that you could install in place of your converter. Not to break the law - but to test and prove the theory that your CAT might be Clogged. Chances are that is the problem...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Be sure to post some pictures - maybe even some with your "New-To-You" truck still on the trailer! Then once you have her on the ground, more pictures. Some with the hood up, the doors open (if you have them) and from all sides. That way you will put a "stake in the...

. Funny how we've become Video Production Engineers along with the title of Wrench Turner .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Any chance you could share some pictures? The few pictures I have seen of the M76 appear to have tires inside the track for "bogies". Is that so? Seems like that would improve the ride in a 1960's baby tank...

. Welcome Back to the Outfit! Got any pictures?

. Based on the message count that you have and the question about what fluid goes here - I am thinking you are new to the hobby and this group. So, Welcome to the Outfit! Snap us some pictures of the rest of your truck. That way we can see what you have going on. You may want to spend a few...

. Well... I really gotta see how this stuff "sands out". I mean it doesn't need to be showroom quality...

. Very NICE presentation! Funny how it works. I have lived in Charlotte my entire life - with the exception of military service - and have never heard or seen anything about that museum. I dropped a link below. I plan to take a short trip and visit...

. Well, either you got more than I did - or - I was slighted on my air dryer. When I removed mine for service there were no wires to connect and nothing I could connect to if I had wanted to. These trucks were built under constant change orders.

. Factory OEM doesn't have power for a heater in cold environments. Plumbing would be the same. Just remember "height" should be considered when you install.

. Guessing that the 5-Ton will be having the same sort of problem soon... I remember days gone by when we used a 50 ton press to punch out the old sleeve and rubber, then replace it with new "ends". Can't help but wonder if we could find just the end pieces. Found SECO offering 12pc inserts...

. Absolutely! Grits are simply a medium by which the butter, possibly bacon, and a dash of sugar are moved toward the mouth. :cool:
