Those hold downs are the same ones used on the doghouse.
They are more expensive than they look like they should be.
They are also a pain in the leg when you catch yourself on one.
I got myself one of the later style fillers and went with a cheaper and all around better method of securing...
I think what hes saying is regardless of the other two circuits(E-brake, and master cylinder) there is a Lamp test phase when you first turn the ignition switch to "ON" that powers that dash lamp to test it. Just like modern cars that light all the warning lamps and sweep the gauges at startup...
Does that metal ring sit properly on top of the rubber part?
If not, they dont go together.
Which part, the rubber or the ring, match the size of that shape in the paint?
You need to be careful of what you consider the "standard military holder"
There are a few different styles of fuel cans and water cans.
Old seam welded US style
NATO german style cans
US plastic water cans
Scepter Plastic fuel cans
Etc.
They are close, but don't always fit all holders
The...
I got ahold of some crusty cargo tarps and bent bows the other day.
Decided to play around with a lower "garage max" 2 man cargo cover.
I cut 18" off the bows.
I tried it with a funky old canvas top with the angled front look, and a trailer top for the square look.
Havent finalized the lower...
Drive it a while and see if they even out. These trucks sat out in the elements for years and the tires have taken a "set" with regards to flat spots you are feeling.
.
You have to have the correct plastic first aid kit to fit in that bracket.
Ive seen the stickers on ebay in the past.
As...
Im with riderdan… sounds like maybe the temp unit for the glow plugs is bad, or mismatched to the new control box?
There are certain TSUs that don't work with certain boxes. I believe older style TSU/GPCs don't work with newer style boxes
Ive never seen one by itself that didn't come with a new joint, and you need to disconnect the thing to install. Why don't you want to just replace the whole joint? Just count the turns when removing to get it close enough for alignment purposes if that's your worry
OK? So you gonna share?
Random letter? (next in line?)
Date code?
I had an 86 M1009 (Florida National Guard) that had "NF"
I had a 98 LMTV (?FT Hood) that had "NH"
whats the true meaning?
Making some rear half doors with a cheap set of 2 man blanks.
Used soft door hinges and cut the floor insert down to clear the rumble seats.
Field expedient latching mechanism functions better than it looks.
For what its worth, At the 8:19 mark, they show how to check all the pins on the "Glow Plug Controller".
I'm not sure if this is an earlier style unit than the TSU and it may be altogether different.

Ive read that bit of advice a few times in the archive.
And about grinding off some tabs on the WP flange(?)
I have an H1 application water pump from AutoZone and there is a centering dowel on it that fits perfect.
Im going to surmise that the MIL water pump has a different mounting flange...
Since I need to change out my stretched out wobbly belts and refurbish the cooling system, I was thinking about getting rid of the overly complicated hydraulic fan clutch system and replace it with a conventional viscous clutch.
I still get annoyed when that loud assed thing kicks on.
I read...
And while we are discussing the benefits of 50/50 coolant, It also lubricates the seals of the water pump. Besides the rust and sediment, you will kill the water pump in short order.
