This isn’t the Department of Defense. Your products, while innovative and cool, are very expensive. The attitude isn’t helping. Steel Soliders members are a very knowledgeable bunch. Mechanical, electrical, real world, etc. We have to be.....to keep these trucks running and driving. Most...

That looks like a really nice cable. Hope it works as good as it looks. Price isn’t outrageous as some of the NOS GM cables are.

Good to hear. Flat black, Flat OD, Flat tan. Of course the Aluminum color just like the factory Delcos will work also I would have to see the camo but it doesn’t sound appealing.

Is yellow the only color available? Not the best look.

Use it or lose it That little amount of use stood out to me also. If it were me, I would put 5 hours a month (minimum) to prevent exactly what your dealing with now. You cannot let these sit unused like that. Work the machine! Exercise it! Get it to operational temps. Load it up! This will...

Some PM performed today Oil change New Oil, trans and fuel filters New wiper blades. Not installed yet in pic. Had to paint them. New Air Dryer cartridge. Topped fuel off after about an hour drive. Now it’s ready when needed.

Installing Truck-Lite 3/4” LED Marker Lights this weekend. Have these installed on my civilian trailer and they are very bright. The military ones are too big and the M101A2 trailer doesn’t have any decent mounting locations. Will post pics after install.

Isn’t that one of the early M101’s? They did a lot to it for whatever they needed it for. Looks like it would clean up fairly well. Hard to tell, but looks to be surface rust and no rot. Any pics of the inside?

When you notice the leak, under what part of the truck is it? Is it motor, transmission or gear oil? Power steering or brake fluid? Have you crawled underneath and looked? The front crankshaft seal is a known leaker. If your harmonic balancer is original it needs replaced and you can change...

Hit the Thanks button by mistake Its not a state thing but a Federal DOT thing. Federal law always trumps state law. The arm signals are only to be used temporarily. <30 days to allow repair. After that the signals in the vehicle must be working. What you have now is too small and not...

If you plan on actually driving that on public roads, you are guaranteed a ticket and possible tow. They are too small and not placed correctly. That is definitely......green.

Funny about writing on the windshield. We do that in helos, just not with sharpies. Grease pencils only. That gps in pic will usually be on the speed screen. I already gave my brother and uncle one each of the larger, better units. They were happy. Found a bonus in the box of Garmins. A...

At least you found the leak now, instead of when generator was actually needed.

It’s easier and cheaper in the long run to strip it and do all the electrical exactly like you want. Lights, outlets, etc. I used a commercial a/c in my S-280 and works great. But I wasn’t doing a all military original build either. No clue about your a/c. Who knows what it was used for...

Need a better overview pic. Hard to tell how it looks overall. Small sections look promising. .....and yes, you do need brakes and now you will also be drawing attention from DOT officers.

Installed a New Garmin NUVI gps. Small and compact. Don’t really need it but why not. However, it will help since the cucv speedometer isn’t known for accuracy. Won an auction lot of 20 Garmin GPS”s Different models of the Nuvi line. A few years old but all brand new in box. Free Lifetime...

Might be just a bad fuel solenoid within the IP. Guys have replaced those themselves and solved their particular problem. Don’t use ether even though it’s tempting. Way more harm than good.

Do you feel better now?

It’s not 100% original so it’s not worth as much. Period. Factory look or not, you will always be able to tell something had been there. Radio, speakers, wiring etc. The glow plug system works great as designed when properly maintained. Still don't understand why people remove components...
