The hose wasnt collapsed...although i didnt check it running. I planned on testing the T-stat today and if it didnt work i was going to leave it out until i can afford a new one, along with a new sending unit and mabe a couple new hoses. The top end ones have some weird colored corrosion around...

Ok so ive searched several different ways and different keywords and havent had much luck so ill go ahead and ask. Drove the truck this afternoon and drove it enough to get the engine good and warmed up, and when i got back i did some after operating checks and noticed that the top of the...

compared to what? lol....I have driven many FMTVs to include LMTVs and the like, M1078, M1083, M1088 and M1089 and in my profesional opinion (profesional as in trained US Army Truck Driver) the FMTV's were the biggest piles of steaming cr*p i have ever had the misfortune to be assigned. I did...

**** you must have a massive trunk on that saturn! LOL :beer:

lol...Ive heard em all, the list is endless. Personally, i like Ford's styling, Chevy gas motors, and sometimes Dodge's um..their ummm commercials! yah thats it. I wished that Pickup truck manufacturers were more like big rig manufacturers....let the customer decide what HE wants in the...

In your 4th pic (the one with the colored lens covers on) Is that how your leaving it or are you going to cover them over so they only illuminate the gauges? That is the green ones i mean..not the air warning or airshift indicator...When i was in the service, i had a M928 that had those same...

Aint nuthin wrong with Ford... to me, their better then Cracked Heads Every Valve Rusted Open Leaks Every Time Its all about preference, and an ability to maintain specific things :beer: thats why there is Ford guys, and Chevy Guys, and Dodge guys.

I had just did a random search on Bing i think. It was on some webiste, but i cant find it right now...let me look around and see if i can find it and ill post it when i do.

:roll: rub it in! lol...if we had swapmeets around here that i knew of i would go... still 18 bucks was still WAY less then i thought id ever pay for a complete gasket set for anything...ever! lol

Eriks military surplus has 3052 and 3053A full gasket sets, that include that pesky input shaft gasket for 18$ yes... Eighteen dollars. M35 Transmission Gasket Set (For Spicer 3053A & 3052) 7741X / 7520987 this is what i bought, installed and no leaks.... and the input shaft bearing P/N is...

What have i done...not much really. I drained out all that pretty new Lucas oil i put in the gearbox after rebuilding it...turns out, the 3053a does not like high performance 85W90....so thats gone and will be replaced with SAE50. Ive been touching up here and there with rattle cans until i get...

Agreed. I still remember the SAEDA briefings. Thats why i did not elaborate on the pics i posted. The pics are of equipment not used in combat situations anymore without extensive modification. These were un-armored vehicles that can be found in used truck lots world wide so i doubt it could be...

...Im crawling...errr creepering under mine on the nice cement floor of my garage ;) ...but its not really T-case related....well maybe a little but not really.

well, to add my 2cents , i just rebuilt my transmission, and put lucas 85W90 high performance in it. After driving it around the block a few times and just rolling it out of the garage, and even just running the engine for a while, I have decided that the transmission DOES NOT LIKE this oil one...

What is that boom out on front of that Meerkat? Is that a camera or something?

Download the TMs from Jatonka's website....read and learn. Knowing as much as you can about these trucks is very helpful [thumbzup] good luck!

You Buffalo guys and Sweeper teams have the UTMOST respect from me. Guys like you have probably saved my bacon more times then i even know. Having to go drive in Iraq knowing IEDs were out there was bad enough but going out and LOOKING for them, thats balls man! :beer:

still no luck on my hard drive but i found a couple of pics from Iraq in 06. First one is me (the big guy) and my buddy's Jim, Lief, and John in front a UH-60 Blackhawk on the airfield at Camp Beuring in NW Kuwait....it used to be called Udairi or something in 04. 2nd pic is me and Mikey...
