Dang, where did you get that radio bracket on the dash? I have never seen a mount like that. Did you fab that thing or is it GI? If so what is the MK-### install kit?

your current problem sounds like a bad connection. If you kept blowing 30 amp fuses before, your fuse prongs are likely soft from heating up and loosing thier "Spring" ability to grip the fuse. Try this, find both of the wires out of the fuse block that go to that fuse. Go to The auto part...

In the Army, as far as I have encountered, nothing is solid 383 green. Everything in nato 3 color or 686 tan. 686 acctually varies depending on manufacture of paint. From what I can see, there are two shades of "Tan". One is a "Swiss Coffe" color of tan, while the other is more of a "Sand"...

I have a problem... Logically, if you put larger tires on a vehicle the speedometer will read slower than your acctual speed...correct? My 1008 has LT-285 tires,not the stock smaller LT235 size. I decided to figure out my speedometer callibration by parrelelling my wifes 2000 mustang which...

So I guess I will add my two cents here. Several years ago my F-150 went click when I started it. I opened the hood and found a bulge in my battery. I got jumped and went right to sears for a warrenty exchange. They said they had to test it first. I showed them the bulge but they still tested...

I got my truck and it was tan from Desert storm with a semi V allied symbol on the door. I repainted it real 686 CARC tan. The truck shows dirt real easy. Much easier than the 383 cammo HMMWVs I work with in the guard. Another thing, dirty hand prints dont come off the paint. If somebody...

How did you deal with the wheel wells being too narrow for the S-250 to fit in between them. I dont know of any 3/4 ton trailer that has enough room between the wells.

I have done it with an even heavier GRC-122 very successfully. You take an M116 generator trailer that has the open frame, (no deck). Remove the fender/ running boards from each side. Get square 1 1/2 inch tubing and 1/8" flat stock. Combine them to make 1 5/8 spacers and put the fender running...

Yeah I guess. The guy I got the truck from told me he "Just did the brakes last year" and he hasnt driven it at all since then. Ok well that answers my question. I guess I need to follow the manual and tighten the star up till the wheel doesnt move, then "Back off 30 clicks" the funny thing to...

On a 1008, do the rear brakes auto adjust when backing up? I just got this truck amonth ago and it seems that there is way too much travel in the pedal. I bled them out. Then I turned the star spinners in the wheels just a bit untill the wheel became tough to turn by hand, then backed it off a...

I finally got another air cleaner housing off ebay. I installed it and now the truck is so much quieter. Just that small gap around the lid was causing all the noise. Now we can talk while driving. Just thought Ide follow up and let everybody know.

There are alot of surplus antennas out there. Basically, if the antenna states that it is for the 30-88 MHz band than it will do just that. 6m Ham band included. There is an even broader antenna that is used for the PRC-117 vehicular installation and is becoming more prevalant. It is ranged...

That looks really good. I have not had good luck with Rapco paints life in the sun. I have painted my M37 twice with the 24087 using mineral spirits once and adding hardner the second time. Both times, two years in the sun and every horizantal surface has faded severly as well as gone flat...

My 1008a1 had side by side mounted GRC-106 radio on the rack in the bed.

Oh ok, I got it now. Sorry for being dense. These alternators my friend has, he says they are for CUCV, but isnt 100 percent positive. Is there a way to like read out the ground on them to make sure they are isolated? Other than that I can just visually match them because I didnt see any...

Uh, guys, the wiki and facts pages say that they are different. In any case, how then do you test and alternator to see if it is indeed an isolated ground for atleast the passenger side one (hard to get).

So my friend has the box of "CUCV" alternators. I know that the drivers side #1 is chassis ground and the passenger side, #2 is floating isolated ground RIGHT? How do I check these alternators to see if they are a #1 or #2

I can measure my 1008a1 spots for you tomorrow. If I were you Id put the nutcerts on for all 4 spots. Every one Ive seen either had none or all 4. Do you have the antenna bracket allready?

I took the OD and Tcase out to Gear Vendors in El Cajon today. They are the rights holders and manufacturers of the Laycock line. Unfortunealy the J type isnt supported any longer. No parts available. The P type is its replacement and the only one still in production and serviceable. They...

In the M series vehicles, typically a snorkel wasnt permanently attached, and it was, it had the litte breather mushroom cap on the top to keep rain etc out.
