I don't think you understand. Outside of a brand new truck or a brand new door for a truck - I would wager no one here has ever seen one that isn't broken. Buying a used one is a waste of money because buying a new one is likely a waste of money. They sucked and never got redesigned - the...

Those are essentially always broken in that exact way on every truck and if you buy a used one that isn't broken it will be shortly. Use that information however you like.

Yes - possible ground is another good call - check the one that's on the same part of the harness as the washer fluid pump. That one is involved in the headlight circuit. It's inside the driver's step on the older trucks - not entirely positive where it's at on the A1P2 without looking at one...

You can sort-of disassemble the end of the turn signal stalk - where the washer function sleeve is. Pull that off and inspect the contacts...... you probably need to replace it. Does the horn and washer function work? Welcome to German plastic truck controls..... 🙄

Disconnect the turn signal switch and see if it stops?

I'm 21,000 lbs and running 3.90's, ECO hubs, and 370/931 tune. I typically run 65 to 75 mph on the highway and usually I just pin it from every stop. I own and operate a performance shop with an in-ground DynoJet and consequently I'm no stranger to very high performance vehicles and I don't...

There's a new versions of the disconnect relay. It's totally enclosed and much more reliable. Bussmann makes them now: https://www.ase-supply.com/Sure_Power_3106_Battery_Disconnect_p/sp-ems300-1224-d-00.htm The original one's have multiple problems. If you have the original with all the...

You will be able to crawl as slow as you like. I have yet to reach for 1st gear so all the crawling I've done to date with the ECO hubs has been in 2nd gear at "only" 16:1. I could arrow down to 1st and be at 27:1 but I haven't found the need yet. You can move as slowly and methodically as you...

Now with paint!

It's an interesting comparison but a bit of apples to oranges. First - the biggest glaring difference is the power plant. The C7 in my truck makes 931 ft/lbs of torque - now that number doesn't seem impressive on the surface since the Jeep Wrangler XR with the 392 Hemi puts out 470 ft/lbs and...

You worry needlessly. @Lostchain and myself have been going off-road quite a bit. I went through a gully at the beach that was steep enough to scrape the paint off my skid plate and never even went lower than 2nd gear. Is you truck/trailer/cargo combination in the realm of ~100,000 lbs? If it...

Also - being a lifelong mechanic and performance shop owner - Dorman makes Chinese TRASH in general. Acela has their custom FMTV steering wheels made by IMMI: https://www.imminet.com/products/steering-wheels/

I don't see any military truck serial numbers that I recognize in that list with the possible exception of the RMF1-up serial prefix which is a 370 HP engine used in the M-ATV and not applicable to anything this forum is ever likely to encounter. LMTV and FMTV C7 serials are typically FML or...

5999-01-398-4763 I don't see any for sale on their own. You can buy a used steering wheel - they come attached to the wheel: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325515612201 I've never had an issue with my factory wheel though. Again - Army truck not a mall crawler. You got girly hands or sompthin? :LOL:

They'll be more. They are actually part of the BII (basic issues items) of every FMTV so they aren't uncommon. The government pays $25 for that part so anyone asking $125 is just a scalper. Not that hard to make one either. Anyone looking for one should save the NSN and setup an eBay alert for...

Great job Mike!

My steel rims are powder coated. I doubt you'll have a problem but also just forget about keeping the powder coating perfect anyway - it's going to be GONE around the lug nuts in a hot minute and the wheel half bolts cause damage when installing tires.... powder coating helps to make them easier...

They are Milgard Trinsic double-awning windows with Z-bar mounting: https://www.milgard.com/windows/V300/awning They have to be special ordered in the required size, color and mounting - 6 weeks for manufacturing. Actually made not far from me in Oregon. They are not cheap. But - buy once, cry...
