. You are in a different state - but here - the local State Farm or the local Farm Bureau will write a policy for less money than that. Having said that, my State Farm agent (that already had my personal vehicles for the last 20 years) said no. I plugged in state farm and my zip code...

. I'm sure that part of the project being complete feels really good... I couldn't afford a building large enough, but up the road from us is a monument shop. They use the rubber mats and "engrave" granite tombstones in a building with a MONSTER sandblasting setup. The larger nozzle is...

. It might be that a fuel filter housing and a pump just filtering that fuel in the tank would let you clean up what is in the tank without breaking the bank. I found a DIY version of fuel polishing. A set of simple instructions are here. Maybe give this a look and see what it might do for...

. I couldn't decide... Happy for you that your truck did well and held up well, but a chinese block. Dang that's sad. I have wondered how things will go when this country has outsourced almost everything. Might be that the day will come when we decide that somebody needs a military beating...

. The "see also" part is the positive terminal. These terminals will carry more amperage. This picture doesn't really show how much more "beefy" than the standard commercial part is...

. What you have is better than nothing, but that cable is a smaller diameter than the "factory" cable that belongs on that truck. I had a reliability (not charging very well) problem with one of my LMTV trucks and smaller cables. Replacing that smaller "parts house" cable with big fat juicy...

. Agreed. Especially with automobiles, light trucks, and vans. I worked for a tire company on Saturdays for several years. The guy who owned the place made a point of making sure that I understood not to "beat the lugnuts to death" when I first started. There were even some customers that...

. Welcome to the Outfit! Snap up a few more pictures when you get a chance... We are picture hounds here for sure. Looks like you have a nice looking Deuce. Don't hesitate to go visit the Technical Manuals section. Grab a copy of the Lubrication Order that will point out what oil and grease...

. Strangely enough, the M1089 Wrecker has a yellow button on the dash for the two flashing yellow lights mounted behind the cab. Just like the backup alarm you have mentioned - those yellow lights - with their own independent light switch DO NOT work without the white lights being in the...

. For sure! The closer to the power source that the fuse is, the less chance of letting the smoke out of the wires will be.

. Nice looking truck... Sitting there inside and away from the snow and cold. Almost looks like brand new!

. Maybe somebody that has a door that is in good condition could snap a picture - and possibly you could weld in some replacement metal... Maybe? Or maybe a replacement door if somebody happens to have one sitting around.

. Not everybody has a 3/4 inch torque wrench and they aren't cheap either. Using a half inch and a torque multiplier will work. --- And then comes the other part of the discussion... When I worked on trucks to pay my bills, I never torqued a wheel onto a military truck. Just the sights and...

. Ain't it great!? Everybody working together, sharing information... Sometimes a picture can be worth a thousand words and now all of us know what we are talking about. This is a GREAT place to be!

. That looks like a good plan.

. The FLU really is the equipment in question...

. No. Go ahead and invest in yourself and the happiness of your truck. Fuse or Circuit Breaker on everything that you add will be your best plan.

. Agreed! About both parts...

. If you decide to fabricate something, the LMTV's have a web strap that is attached to the inside of the door and the frame. Pictures below:

. blutow , The mind blowing part of these trucks is knowing that the mechanics who worked on them had a parts crib behind them who had anything you might want. Nobody wants to admit it, but there are 18 of those cute little tabs on that locking ring. Use one and there are 17 more to be used...
