Arg....stant parts are so random in quality that I don't ever recommend them.
My rule of thumb it anything that senses or controls temps, timing, or pressures I only use OEM unless its unobtainium.
I got this for my 6.5 for 12 bucks shipped...
You gotta get a quality thermostat.
OEM if possible.
But they can be found locally for a bit less.
The proper stat has a thick body shell and is "balanced" IIRC with an opening and closing spring(?)
I think for the taillights to be DOT approved, they need to have a certain amount of reflective surface. That's why the Civilian H1 used the common Grote/Jeep style taillights with the reflective ring

I found this list of circuit numbers while I was cleaning up my wiring following a hi beam indicator replacement.
I looked up all the numbers from the dash connectors and sure enough...the numbers matched. Leave it to the military to have a...
Sounds like a solid plan. I plan on doing a full cooling system refresh with all new OEM sensors and thermostat soon just to be sure everything is top notch cooling wise. I am not a fan of seeing 230 on the gauge either

I have the old Nartron yellow label EESS

Are you talking about the friction lining of the clutch itself?
Thats also a possibility ...as you've experienced.
I suppose a test for that would be to watch and listen for fan engagement while you plug and unplug the four way plug of the TDM. If it moves alot and doesnt start roaring airflow...
While both straight 30 and 15w40 are both perfectly fine, It seem like the military switched from the 30 to the 15w40.
I personally prefer Shell Rotella but will buy whichever oil is on sale at the time. For our recreational uses, they are functionally all good oils and not worth paying extra...
Yeah, Oiled "performance" air filters are a bad deal. Ive tried them, and they are not to be recommended. They DO pass more and larger particles of dust, and they suck oil into the intake and then coat it with said dust. They cause more damage to gas engines by coating their IAT sensors and...
Another possibility is the fan switch in the crossover being bad. Check for continuity when cold, and again when over 220. It signals when to engage the fan
