I can only assume that the weatherstripping in my 35 year old truck with a rag top has finally fallen apart.
I am looking for the weatherstrip that goes in the door tracks.
My windows rattle (sloppy in/out) when the doors are closed and the windows are all the way up.
It seems that the track...
Are these available as individual pieces and not in kit form?
Maybe as a part number I can order?
Or maybe the proper name?
Picture with 4 of them is shown below.
Hi guys,
We have been through the "is it getting fuel" exercise. The banjo bolt on the carb loosened, the electric fuel pump shoves it out like a fountain. Didn't bother removing the air cleaner cap to look and see if it "squirts".
Have removed the plugs about a week ago and pumped lots of...
M1088 sat for two weeks. Rained a few times. May have nothing to do with it...
Both wheels on the right (passenger side) will not release. Forward, Backward, Tires will not roll.
Right front DOES roll (works fine).
Of the 6 wheels, 2 are stuck, 4 roll as they should...

Hi guys and gals!
It seems like the Denton Rally is still on schedule... I would like to create a Buy & Sell thread here to get the trading and swapping, buying and selling started this year. Now that I have that part done, I need to go find something to buy or sell!
Welcome to the fun!

I remember before computer tire balancing for automobile vehicles was around. There was a piece of equipment that would roll up to the wheel, spin the tire, add weights, spin the tire again, etc.
I remember being told that sort of balancing included the wheel and tire AND it also included...
Got a note asking that another member should "clear your mailbox" so I can send you a message. Are there tools for that? A place to look for it? All I see is the "envelope" icon to see personal messages. I see 5 and a very few pages of PM's (messages).
Am I missing something here?

I recently picked up a JLTV Trailer. Air Brakes, Air Bag Suspension, Disk Brakes and a removable "Pocket Body" with a canvas top with aluminum bows. The trailer appears to be an ISO Transport Chassis - where there are 4 "Twist Locks" (except that the tires would be in the way).
Is there any...
The thing that I was most concerned about was getting the winch and frame pulleys. Got those. Removed them from the frame and have started working to clean and straighten and grease the rollers. In a cardboard box, I found the Chelsea PTO that was removed from the transmission. Nice & Red...
I have the electric PTO. I have the hydraulic winch and tank. Going to mount them on my M1088.
I presume that the switches mount in the spot below the "gonna fall over sideways" guage. I also ASSuME that the winch switch will be spring loaded (to the center) and up or down will be in or out...
I have had several postings about this. Today I am as close as I have been yet, but still not functional. Picture is attached that I used to make my battery connections.
I have FOUR WIRES into the battery box. I metered all of them and two come back as ground. IE: I had one end of the...
So, in broad daylight the batteries were just stolen out of my M1088 sitting in the parking lot with 3 cameras pointing in its general direction. I figure saying what I really think about people that do that would violate every rule there is here - so I will refrain.
TO MAKE IT EASY: Does...
I am considering a fiberglass top for one of my trucks. I know I can't walk on my convertible top on my truck now, but it seems like a hard top should be rigid. Any thoughts on that? Anybody have one on their machine and think it's great? Or the other way around - maybe it is a bad idea?
I...
So, I am smart enough to not just yank the bolt out... On the other hand, it might be a short bolt that hasn't punctured the inner core of the tire - and the more I move the truck around - the worse it might get.
This CTIS plumbing is new to me. Not so sure I want to call a tire repair shop...
I don't really know what they are called. I thought maybe they were Packard Connectors (the male end) but what I have here in a bag "ain't it". What I am doing is adding a second light on the back of my truck - both sides. Hoping to make up a "Y" off the factory harness, add a few inches of...
I poked around in the TM that I downloaded. Not much luck finding the part numbers I want (need). Pictures below show the rotten rubber on each end of the pigtail. Lights seem to work just fine - but the cracks mean water is getting in... Has anybody got a good source?
Well... I just had to tell somebody who might get excited about it. I stumbled across a heck of a deal for two Snatch Blocks. Everything is functional on both of them. Roller where the cable rides is free-spinning and has no "gritty" sound when moving.
I figure both need a light hit of...
Soliciting Opinions ... My boom winch cable has some "scuffs" and at least one obviously "mashed" spot on it. Cable seems to be the oldest cable on the three winches on my truck. It may have not been replaced since it left military service. It actually has a rusty look to it. I have done a...
