    Troop seats or not

    I prefer the seats mainly because without them the truck looks to symmetrical. Front or rear look similar in four man configuration.

    Phoenix Area Mechanic Wanted! Barstow, CA Inspection-Repair on Base?

    Barstow base is a no go from what I was told. They do full refurb and service for military only. I have been working on a few HMMWVs and LMTVs in the Glendale area and might be able to help. What were you needing done?

    Transmission cooling lines quick question

    Pro tip....If the repair TM doesn't show what you are looking for, Try going to the -24P parts manual. They will usually show an exploded view of what you need without anything that would normally hide it from view.

    Any thoughts on a useful substitution for those long spring antennas

    There are these "high survivability" style antennas. All steel whip that is easily removed with a collet style retainer. Half the size and still are correct. And they are supposedly the only ones easily adapted to use with a CB radio. AS-3916 I believe

    New to me M1088

    Have you opened the valves on the air tanks to drain them yet/ever? See what you get there first.

    New to me M1088

    Did you have the push button controller on the dash fixed, or the trans ECU that resides under the passenger side kick panel?

    Wiper Extension

    Good info. I can see them on my m1123 in EUC limbo. One less thing to figure out.

    Wiper Extension

    My guess is a wiper extension for the thicker armored windshield glass? I haven't seen one with my own eyes yet. Does it have a set screw on it somewhere? Hit it with some PB Blaster just for good luck.

    What are these parts called ?

    Yes....as they were manufactured. But, still much easier to buy. I have all the equipment at work to make them and wouldn't waste my time on making some.

    Aloha from a newby

    To me, bad diesel smells like turpentine. It was cloudy brown. But this is Arizona and very dry here. Good diesel is bluish green and smells like diesel.

    Luverne Style Brush Guard material dimension question for a custom build!

    Actually, it does. Its almost neutrally balanced

    What are these parts called ?

    Just judging from your avatar, this may not pertain to your truck...but the front retainers mount facing forward to give the top the correct tension in the 2 man configuration

    Hood markings?

    I don't have it yet as its in EUC limbo. The pics I have don't show a UIC anywhere. It looks like it was a fresh rebuilt MAK truck that looks to have gone directly to storage and never issued.

    Rear flap tie down failures

    That makes sense. Years ago, Ancra made the best motorcycle tie down straps with that kind of tensioner lock. I still have a set thats nearly 35 years old and still in better shape than much newer knockoffs. These buckles are a sad perversion of their good name. Ive never seen a full metal...

    Hood markings?

    That's the info I was looking for! Many Thanks Sir!

    What are these parts called ?

    Yeah, those are for the two man cargo top bows. The long ones are for the rear bow. There are upper ones that are just the loop. The lower ones have the welded washer. The lowers are all left or right handed. I think there are 6 different styles in the kit of 16 retainers

    Rear flap tie down failures

    I was talking about if you broke a hook and didn't have a good one to replace it, you cant just use the bare strap to tie through the body loop as a field expedient
