I have a TRUE 1988 M109A3 w/w. It has the split brake system, parking brake indicator light on the panel. Here's my build thread

Ahh great thanks Zy!! You got me coveting a HET now. Luckily they are way out of my price range;-). Hmmm, unless I sell....Arrrgh! I've got to stop this train of thought.

Haven't done a whole lot with this truck for months. Kind of got out of the hobby and now just doing a couple little things here and there. I had these steel bars ready to mount since June 2013. They've been sitting and sitting. Well, after kicking them around the garage I finally...
The secondary mount I went with is off of a Stryker Vehicle. It can mount either the M249 or M240B. It has dual ammo can trays built into the mount for either platform. It also swivels to where you need it.

324th Expeditionary Signal Battalion (Georgia, Country: United States, UIC: WV43AA)

Hey Al, the letters look like they may have been a decal of some sort. Looks like they are baked on?. The letters are a little raised and glossy in appearance. Suppose it could have been stamped on my a machine of some sort
I had issues with shifting my transfer case when I first got it. Turns out the wire leads from the shifter button were crossed and another wire under the cab was hooked up incorrectly. That switch operates an air dump valve so you can shift the transfer case. If it's hooked up incorrectly, the...
In regard to your wipers, was the air pressure built up completely? There is a valve in the system that will NOT allow any of the air accessories operate if the air pressure is too low. Also, was the top lever on the light switch moved to the second or third position? The brake lights will not...
