From what I've seen, every truck gets sent to rebuild at 10 years, then disposed of at 20 years. If the truck is over 10 years old, it was likely rebuilt. Another clue is if the date on the data plate doesn't match up serial number with the correct year (or very close to it) that it should have...

The soft doors you can bend and tweak the door wire in order to make it a tight seal. I live in the Pacific NorthWest and don't have issues with water coming in through the door after a little bit of bending. X-doors you can adjust the hinges and the latch post a little, but other than that if...

fmvss compliance is a joke as well. If they ever bothered to actually READ what FMVSS says, it specifically states that these vehicles are exempt.

Can't see from the pictures, but you mentioned a cooling fan. Is the fan through the exterior of the case to let fresh air in. And does the fan run constantly whenever the batteries are being charged, or only when at a certain temp? I'm asking because batteries, even sealed deep cycle...

So looking around I can't find anyone that sells leaf springs that long. I went and measured one 6 leaf spring assembly I have lying around and it was 45 1/4" long (measurement A) 2" wide 3/4" eyes 3.5" drop. (measurement B) (I can't tell you how old/worn the spring I measured is, but it...

Are you talking about just the sponsons and rear hatch portion, or everything including c-pillar and roof? Without knowing what all you have together it's hard to give a realistic idea.

the A2 has a UOC of 258. This is the 5 leaf spring. The A3 has a UOC of CT1 The upgraded spring used on the A3 version should be the same as the A2E2 heavy spring being a 6 leaf spring. So either spring pack will work the same, one is just a little stiffer/stronger. 10 PAFZZ...

8 lug means it's an A2 trailer. If the axle had a drop in it rather than straight it would be the A3. Multiple versions of the A2 spring, as they made a heavier version. TM 9-2330-202-13P is the manual for the M116/M101 series trailer...

numbers for the date code are on the passenger side behind the cylinder head. Can be seen with the doghouse off. If it's in an older truck with the V-belt system, then it's going to be the same V-belts as the 6.2 it replaced. "stronger alternator" you'd probably either want to go aftermarket...

I was thinking more of the restriction, and the fact that all of their waste heat was being blown past the primary radiator before the radiator even got a chance to cool off. the 10k cfm number that's been thrown out seems to be just a guess at the minimum it might be. It wouldn't surprise me...

As for the crunching numbers, at this point any numbers for the original cooling setup are worthless for comparing to your truck. That 10k+ cfm that cools everything right down doesn't compare to your vehicle as you've divorced all those systems that were being cooled together by that one fan...

Sorry, I don't do instagram. Okay, so you're saying you have a 185 degree thermostat. I'm seeing various thermostats sold under the part number in the manual for the 6.2l HMMWV as either a 170 opening/180 open or a 190 degree open depending on who is selling it. So the 185 isn't really a lower...

I think I'm at about $400 a year for my truck, no restrictions. Combined with my F450 and a small trailer. Liability only. I went into my local insurance agent and let them handle it. Normally there is a service charge for it, but because he called progressive and they handled everything...

Mine is also on a progressive commercial policy.

I think part of that is the lower thermostat (no idea when it opens, but I know these engines don't like being below about 190 or they start having issues). From all of this, I would assume it's something like a 165 degree thermostat or something like that that is fully open by 180 degrees...

the old style had 5.7 oz of propellent and solvent, the new cans have 6.8 oz. Same amount of paint, but commiefornia compliant other stuff.

The extra nozzles are the old version. The new cans don't have enough space under the cap to fit a second nozzle according to Mark.

the $200 fan is to assist the main fan, not to replace it. The two are not a direct comparison.

They started using pusher fans to help increase airflow on fully armored trucks being operated in the desert in combat conditions. As for airflow, the numbers I have seen is always in excess of 10k CFM for air movement. Not sure how an electric fan at half that, combined with a lower...
