Got ONE front done today. Blech. The torque on these guys are brutal. 300 lbs on the lower pin is almost impossible as the bracket is out of anything holding it. The passenger side got struck trying to get the top pin out, and the crescent wrench kept slipping off. Going to give it one more...

Well, I bought (2) 12340070 and was buying (2) 12340071, but the shipper sent me (2) 12340072 instead. I've seen people recommend (4) 0070 and then others recommend (4) 0072. Now my question is, do I have a crappy combination? There are not great specs on the 0072, and they look identical to...

Bit the bullet and changed out the thermostat, and the temp sensor, and finished the flush. Everything went great. The thermostat needed a razor blade to scrape out the gasket, but other than that, and odd positions getting the sensor out and in, it was quick and painless. The truck stays...

Definitely. It was 50 and raining, so the heat was welcome while I ran it around. It never got above 205 ( I still suspect my gauge is off 10 degrees over). I did get a new temp sensor and a thermostat, but weening about ripping the old ones out, for fear of leaks or problems, but if I need...

Did a bunch of maintenance. Did the differentials, they were really torqued down. The front started pouring out as soon as I cracked the fill hole. I have no ideas how it could be overfilled, it's is possible that it expanded, as I'm at altitude, feels weird. Not a ton, but definitely...

Changed the oil and filter. Took it for a spin, went to park on a slanted driveway, and then found out my parking brake wasn't adjusted correctly. Adjusting and testing, chocking wheels until then. I also did a amp meter on the positive battery cable when starting. I might not have done it...

Cleaned it up. I'm well loved.

Yup, considering printing and laminating a sign that let LEO know about the statute, the VIN (I have a state assigned one) and maybe some general info to keep my neighbors at bay. I did actually get the nut on the bottom off, it just won't come up. Assume some persuasion upwards is needed...

Bought one. 94, private seller. Pretty good shape, think it's a guard truck. New windshield. Needs new tires. Seller didn't perform basics on maintenance, so all fluids going to get attention. Already did 3/4 of a DIY grounding harness (Kascar backordered 6 weeks!) before time ran out...

Fired up the generator after 5 MONTHS of sitting. I neglected to plug in the battery charger, but the batteries were at 12.4 and 11.8, which was enough to get it done. Gen fired off, and I tested out heat and AC. I replaced a fuse in the battery charger and ensured they worked. My red top...

I'm not a country fan either, actually rockabilly, which has some country roots, but we still love ya. Ok, back on track? I just ordered some opti-lube for fuel additive. Planning on firing up the truck after a 4 month hiatus on Thursday. 70 degrees forecasted in Denver and taking work off...

I think the benefits are making me read more of the site.. His original post had me searching for about two hours while I couldn't sleep. I got into biodiesel, oil additives, what happens when you accidentally put gas in, and lots of "data" on why it was the best and worst for the truck...

I didn't think that speaker would keep up, but it did remind me of a song I heard about four months ago at a concert. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcCfGdKKMIU

Geez Dave, what as score. I didn't know they had those two part stands. I did see that a unit made a "spartan kitchen" that fabricated a stand out of aluminum angle and square tubing. Those ovens look pretty cool. I like the actually having oven racks and multiple shelves. JEALOUS! Do...

Who makes a good 24v battery charger.. Get a smart one. Noco Genius as well. Great support from company. I charge through the slave port as well.

Thanks guys, my old M59 is a little rusty but not OMG replace it. The new M59a actually has oven shelf brackets and grills, and comes with all of the pots, braisers and tools. The door doesn't have those little peek windows. Still deciding if it worth it to replace both. Sent from my iPad...

What I did is consider replacing the M59 with M59A's. They have a couple bells and whistles, but unsure if they mount directly into the same physical space. Anyone know? Referenced below in the PDF as recent 2013 replacements. The oven parts are definitely an improvement, the have oven...

I was just in CT where it was -5, and now back in CO, it was 68 today. Ahhh. I should have gone to see the truck. It misses me. We did plan its next camping adventure for the spring. A State park. Now, take the MKT or the Drash tent and trailer. Decisions. Sent from my iPad using...

Well check the obvious stuff first. Is it getting power? Is the generator generating? It has a switch inside and at the HVAC as well as a breaker at the panel. Is it on heat? or AC? Is the gauge on heat? Check the load, with the heater on, mine takes 30% (from memory) across the generator...

For those doing this, they have HMMWV slave connectors that work great on the bay for like $25 plus shipping. Search for J-6362/U.
