The cummins whether 5.9 or 6.7 two valve or 4 valve is just such a robust setup and a marvel of engineering. My son has a 03 3500 5.9 dually with the NV5600 tranny and that truck is an absolute monster. They can put out insane power and live over the long haul miles Mark

Those are great EGT numbers. Has anyone upgraded the turbo to increase the pressure a bit but will also drop the EGTs due to the increased velosity carrying away more heat. Mark

Boy you need to be careful with the ether. I've seen some real carnage when too much is used. As far as heat I always liked the waffle iron magnetic heaters. Super simple and you can't beat the ease of install. I used them all the time in the material handling equipment world. Mark

Just use large batteries with high CCA ratings. Mark

Use a good etching primer on the doors before you paint. Mark

CV boots okay? Is there oil in the portals? The hub nut for the axle tight? Are the bolts on the inner mounting flange of the axle tight? I would start with the above. Mark

Nice looking truck. Had mine for approx nine years and she has been a lot of fun. Mark

You could get the LED bulbs with the anti hyperflash which has a resistor build in unlike those awful looking inline resistors. Mine had the same odd one flasher light not working. I remember a funny story that some northern city wanted to save energy cost. They had a brilliant idea to...

Glad it worked out. How about a pic of the truck. Marl

Put the incandescents back in the front Lights. Had this same issue. The flasher unit had problems with so little resistance. Mark https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/h1-tail-light-buckets-on-hmmwv.217583/#post-2546086

Are these led units or 1156 led bulbs in place of the incandescents?

Rustoleum matte black (satin black). Very durable and easy touch ups. If you have the Air Lift bumper will need a good etching primer and metal prep to get the paint to stick properly. Recurring problem for me but as I said easy touch ups. Mark

I found Hagerty had the best deal and have had them for a year. Stay away with anything to do with Geico. Last year they attempted to double my premium for nothing on my part. My cars are now with Progressive. Mark

One thing I have is a nos 4 man green artic top and rear curtain with the two oval plexiglass potholes. I paid very little for them years ago and am amazed at what they are going for now and have become unicorns. Mark

I run 62 mph on the highway with my three speed and that's fine with me. I'm sure not in that much of a hurry anymore to need more speed. If mine gives up the ghost I would definitely go with a built 700R4 and won't have to deal with electronics. I've had a number of vechicles with the 700R4s...
