    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    When you apply for the FMV registration using the registration number, the number you provide becomes YOUR unique license plate number, if some other vehicle has that number already, you will have to pick something else. If you get pulled over by the POPO, they will enter this number in their...

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    Actually it is supposed to be the military registration number, not the VIN on the title. Mogman posted a good pic of where to find it.

    Texas FMV bumper stencil markings

    No. You are supposed to use the USMC or US Army registration number. USMC vehicles have it on the hood and US Army have it on the A pillar post inside the cab. Unit markings on the bumper is not what the law is intended for. Per the VTR form: The serial number assigned to the vehicle by...

    Automotive Paint vs Behr

    What we are gradually figuring out is that the latest generation water reducible CARC is an acrylic paint and so is Behr/Sherwin Williams Superpaint.

    Automotive Paint vs Behr

    What kind of Automotive one part paint are you considering? Nothing from an auto paint supplier looks anything close to military ultra flat CARC.

    Non-turbo to turbo upgrade

    Does the Eastern kit include the actual turbocharger? I don’t think so. Eastern is highly recommended by me, always happy with many purchases. Oh and NA deuce engines are badazz, love mine and it’s smoke trail. Plenty of power.

    M1123 transmission

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    Try Sherwin Williams. They have the formulas in their system and make these paints for uncle. You can get these colors in acrylic latex exterior flat.

    LMTV M1083 no service brake release air leak

    Did you replace the check valve in your picture? The system is set up to only take in air from the front emergency glad hand, not allow air out there. If air is coming out, the check valve in your picture is corroded and stuck open. Info: FMTV Refuses to charge air from front emergency...

    You may find installing the injection lines on the IP is much easier on the bench, then dropping the assy onto the engine like a big SPIDER. You have to crack the lines at the injectors anyway to bleed.

    M38A1 Fuel gauge

    I always thought all MS fuel gauges had the same electrical values regardless of era. Before you buy stuff, double check the grounding of both the gauge and sender.

    Rwh will tell you it’s best to replace those crusty old IPs before you get stranded somewhere. No point in opening it.

    M37 100 amp generator--seeking information

    There is a mil troubleshooting guide available. The system is very reliable as long as you replace the ancient selenium rectifier with the newer type with discrete diodes. The system makes a cool growling sound. The cables are out there. If you have the selenium rectifier and it fails, the...

    M38A1 Fuel gauge
