    M1078 Starter Replacement

    Many times it is just the brushes. Take it apart and clean it. Check the brushes. I just did this a Bosch diesel starter motor a couple of days ago. I cleaned the armature with some MAF cleaner. Clean out the lines where the copper plates meet on the armature with a something sharp. Might be...

    Unusual sighting- Mercedes van with European plates

    Most tourists DON'T bring their vehicle. They rent. A Driver's License and Registration are two different things. Heck you can get an International Drivers License. I'm taking about motor vehicle registration / license plates ONLY. Having only foreign plates is quite uncommon.

    Unusual sighting- Mercedes van with European plates

    I have seen a lot of World, but had never seen this. Today I saw a Mercedes Van / Camper where the ONLY plates on it were from Germany. No State plates, nada. Apparently there is a Federal Law that allow you to import a vehicle into the US, and drive it for up to a year, without having to have...

    CAT 3116 A/C pully not really needed? LMTV FMTV

    Well, he had a plumbing issue and inexperience with hydraulics. You don't have to run the power steering and a/c pump in tandem and I would not do it. I still think it is an interesting idea.

    CAT 3116 A/C pully not really needed? LMTV FMTV

    My understanding was that he did it both ways without issue. He showed both ways for the benefit of viewers. Did he say he had issues with hydraulic??

    You may want to consider a hydraulic driven A/C pump like Sean's "Abel" on Youtube.

    Anyone know the gauge of the cables in the battery box?

    My battery connectors look a bit rough and I may just go ahead and replace everything. Anyone know the gauge of the 3 wire in the box? I looked on the cable, it had a rating of 3Kv, but no gauge. I was thinking 1-0 maybe?

    Typical CYA lawyer talk. Hmmm... I have seen a ton of these on the public roads. You mean to tell me AMG produced vehicles that were driven that were unsafe to Military personnel and civilians? Exempt huh? blah blah blah.....

    Colorado Bill SB19-054 RE: (Former) Military Vehicle Motor Vehicle Regulation

    Getting a law amended or repealed requires a tactical effort that is orchestrated. I would start by Google Video chat and put together a strategy with a network of all MV drivers. Get the word out on Facebook. You need leverage here. Strength in numbers and knowledge. I would start a petition...

    WMO will not work in the newer diesel RV heaters

    FYI I have been experimenting with WMO to fire this type of heater. This things are very sensitive to flashpoints and don't like anything other than diesel. It won't stay lit. Problem is likely related to the fact that there no compression, as in a diesel engine. Might work at 50/50 wmo and...

    Progress update on m1088A0

    I hope this thread comes across in the spirit of sharing ideas, rather than "Look at me, I'm bad, uh huh!" Hope we can get more picts of everyone's vehicle. I think there are some real interesting variations in approach to design, re-design, particularly addressing the the trucks shortcomings...
