    If you're needing to rebuild an air compressor

    I picked up a spare air compressor for my 1078 and not knowing whether it was NOS or was a takeoff as it was covered in sand and needed a cleaning regardless, I started to look for piston rings and gasket kits. Well, I stumbled upon a seller on a certain wEB site that is selling the correct...

    Cargo Cover Parking Garage

    So, I am sure I am not the first to do this, but it surprised my wife, and she gave me a thumbs up on this project. I recently had finally acquired a tan top for my LMTV and changed it out with the camo cover I had been using. The cargo cover kit was on an auction site, but it was a mess thrown...

    Aftermarket MEP-803 alternators

    I may be looking at a falling alternator. Has anyone found an aftermarket that works? I will probably get mine rebuilt, but thinking it may be worthwhile to have a spare (or put the new one on and rebuild the other for a spare)

    Nice Surprise for my MEP-803A

    So, I recently acquired a trailer mounted MEP 803A. I haven't even had time yet to change out all the fluids and do my checks, but it seems to run strong (2500 hours). With another big weather system rolling in this weekend, and the weather being nice today, I decided to go look through a couple...

    M1082 Spring Brake Valve Rebuild

    A few weeks ago, as I was replacing the emergency and service gladhand hoses on my M1082 trailer. Once I hooked up the trailer and gave it air, I found the spring brake valve on the trailer was leaking. I pulled it off and made a post about whether anyone had rebuilt one or not. After getting...

    M1082 Spring brake valve leaking air...is it rebuildable

    Continuing to get my trailer up and running. Hooked it up to the truck today and fed air into the system to see if the brakes worked after replacing missing air hoses. Sucess, but there seems to be air escaping from the brake spring valve behind the tank. Is there a vent on this and should it...

    M1082 Trailer Jack Handle

    So, I finally brought my trailer home to get all the PM's done and fix what's broken or missing. When I bought it in July it was missing the sway bar bushings (fixed that today) and missing the emergency side air hose (replaced them both today as well). The one big pain in my OCD mind was that...

    Who loves breaking down tires? (Not me!!)

    When I purchased my truck in July, in the bed were four huge crates that had MRAP painted on the sides. I was thinking that the PO had purchased 4 of the Caimen MRAP tires and I would be able to pop them right on (of course after buying the special acorn nut from Hutchinson and the 36 other...

    A0 Cab air bag system

    So I was replacing an air bag today as we knew it had a leak. I also noticed on the back side of the control box there also appeared to be a leak. Upon further inspection, air was escaping from what I later found to be a small breather valve. So new airbag installed, air up the system and it...

    Small 24 volt winches for LMHC

    Looking to put together a LMHC for my M1078 since finding a military one is near impossible. I am looking to find a source for small (2-3 thousand lb) 24-volt winches here in the US, but everything I find is 12 volts. Anyone have a source for a 24 volt that small?

    Has anyone mounted a RAK 15 or RAK 30 in a CUCV?

    I recently acquired a few RAK 15 units and was thinking about mounting one in my CUCV truck......Wondered if anyone else had done this and where they mounted it. Not a lot of room in the truck so I am curious if anyone has done it and where they mounted it. Please post pics if you have.

    CUCV Radiator Replacement

    So we have been working on fixing all kinds of leaks in the M1028 and finally pulled the radiator as well. It appeared to have some small leaks near the hose attachment points. Took it to a local radiator shop and they said three days. Well, almost two weeks later they called and said that it...
