I bought an UNUSED 70-year old ROLLS-ROYCE crate engine! How bad could it be? - YouTube

So their std civ laptop can connect to the "I/O" plug on an A1? Or need a mil cable? Fire call today the truck idled very rough and smoked the entire station up at cold start. So I'd guess was getting plenty of fuel. I was not driving it so don't know how it performed.

The A1 we has some other problems so I'm looking for the full series of TM. Mgmt doesn't understand Army at all - FInd the manual/look it up in the manual. We could have drawn this truck (and any parts needed) at no cost from DOD surplus. Instead, we used $, always hard to come by for a...

Actually need for an A1. Or is there a separate A1 series of TMs?

Thanks. I thought I had once downloaded the TM from ref/TM section of SteelSoldiers but now is diddly there. ?

FD brush truck has bad radiiator. Is the radiator common to the across the various 4x4 and 6x6 versions of the LVTV series (and A0 vs A1)? Is after my days in green. If find the correct part# should be able to req from DOD surplus.

Just what my MEP004 needs

Any creative advice for repair of broken heater elements? Several broken from the outlet cover flapping in the wind.

Post Coldwar would be "new"

A good rodent is a dead rodent. Not exactly OT but apparently the greenies have wiring harness in new vehicles being built utilizing wire with soy (plant) based insulation (vs petro based), Apparently, mice LOVE them some soy buffet. THIS will end well. Worth asking if a new wiring harness...

Were there ever rear cab windows in any version of the FMTV? Sheet metal looks to be stamped for such. Kits available?

Nope. Still mostly hype (just as 30yr ago)

I don't find the Yanmar hard to start. In cold weather, a extra few pulls to warm up the cylinder. Just go find one of the 125gpm pumps though vs converting a engine from a genset. Great little pumps. The new Hatz engines/pumps are a better unit though. The Hatz engines are great.

Dolly was designed for standard 5t NDT tires.
