I was fixing oil leaks around my PTO (transplanted), I I found this connector tucked up above it. I pulled it lightly and it fell down. two pins. Thanks!

I am looking for an O-ring. The bought #4 o-ring ms28778-6 thinking that is the right one. I went to install it and it is way off in size. Either I received the wrong o-ring, or I have the wrong part number. This is for the PTO hydraulic supply right angle fitting into transmission seal...

Have my truck in the shop. Need to clear behind it so I can back up and flip the cab. Gonna do a bunch of stuff and don’t want to move it until I am done. How much space from the front bumper to the shop door do I need to clear the cab when flipping it up? My cab latch is leaking bad, so I...

I was looking through my pictures and I ran across this one. The picture was while I was looking for a leak. This is a 1999 m1083A1 rear most axle. It looks like the ball joint is loose on the control triangle (not sure what it is called). Look at the gap and the threads showing. Or is...

Is it “OK” to run a 9/16 or 5/8 snatch block on a 1/2 SRW wire rope? I imagine the cycles are so small it would make no difference. What are your thoughts? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw this video of an A0 winch truck and the owner showed how he can run the winch while in gear, powering the wheels. Does anyone know if this works on an A1? Can someone try it? This is the video: Need to know soon, as I am in process on an A0 to A1 winch transplant and need to know...

All, I am mostly done on an A0 winch transplant into an A1. Both 1083. A year 1997 to a 1999. Opened up the top of heater unit and can’t see the accessory harness anywhere. Are they hidden deep in there under the feet heater hose, or are they only installed on some trucks. Thanks Sent from...

1999 m1083A1 Left turn signal ... normal Right turn signal.... transmission display blinks with turn signal. Guessing ground issue? Anyone see this before? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone know if I need to drain oil (and how much) from the transmission before I pull the PTO off of a truck for a winch transplant? Pulling it this Sunday..... appreciate any input. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My experience with flat paints is they show greasy fingerprints, dusty fingerprints, just everything...... etc. I was thinking of using satin since I have had good experience with clean ability. Do those that have done satin like it better? My truck will not match true military finish...

Doing a winch transplant..... about half way through. The vertical roller (one that the nut is in the bottom) that is under the fuel tank does not spin. I don’t see a grease fitting for it. I see the nut under neath but no bolt head above it. I can’t figure out how the roller comes out or is...

The TMs say that 25inH2O is in the red. I cannot read the numbers. Is the top line 25 or the line between the green and red 25? I have seen some gauges with 28 listed as max and others with 25. Anyone have a clear picture of what the FMTV should have? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using...

So, I was thinking about adding some switches to the dash. Then, I found out a family member was possibly getting a plasma table. So, now I am thinking about making a new dash plate all together. Just brainstorming here and honestly, it will be a long while before I get to this on my todo...

Anyone have a way to refresh or change the color of the floor hump mat? I know scrubbing works, but if I wanted a black or gray hump, is the a way to color it? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw this video. Thought it was worth sharing. It is about Bullet Proofing your engine with an update kit. Has part numbers as well. Thoughts? Comments? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am thinking of blocking the fresh air inlet when I do the AC install. My understanding is that a lot of noise (fan and other) comes through that hole. My thought is cover the hole with a metal plate, mastic or weld it in place, then use a hood liner underneath and dynamat type material on...

Which engines share brackets and pulleys for the air conditioner compressor? I am assuming the 3116 and 3126 use the same brackets and pulleys.....even if it has a serpentine belt on the 3126. Does the C7 share the same brackets, pulleys and compressor for air conditioning? Am I right...
