Greg, Sherwing Williams is what I have. I also have a $40 gun from Harbor Freight. What do you mean sweat? Tell me how you mix it, and what PSI you use. When you spray does it come out like splatter or a nice smooth coat of paint? Seriously, I felt like I was texturing a plaster wall.

Ok so today I ventured into the unknown with my first attempt at spraying real 686 water base carc with an HVLP. First time for both the paint and gun. Im used to semiglos OD with an old gun, but today was something different. Needles to say, if you were my neighbor you wouold agree as they...

I have a friend looking for manuals for the gamma goat. Can anbody help me out with PDFs?

Is CARC 686 Sand the color vehicles were painted when they were shipped or arrived in Saudi Arabia circa 1991? Or was it a different tan? I ask because I just got some real CARC 686 Sand and repainted my tailgate today and its much lighter in color than the tan that is on my truck. Im not...

Both the threaded studs are fully poking through the cover. I will try cranking it down more, but Ive allready got them thumb tight, Im hestitant to use pliers becuase that just seems wrong. The rear is still open a bit, but not as much as the front. I bet this thing got smashed at some point.

Ah hah. Got them. Thanks guys. I walked over to the FMS the other day and asked if they had any manuals lying around still (they have a 1008 they use as a beater) and they laughed at me. Most of them have seen my M38a1 since that was all I had that ran for the last several months, but they...

Where did you find that diagram. I can tell what it is but its way too small to acctually see. I would like to get the full size copy of it. I guess if the cable kit makes it an A1 then that is what mine was. THe guy I got it from kept the troop seats, bows and radio rack and cable. He...

I do have the warning do not use starting fluid decal on my cleaner cover.

I was reading through the -10 manual and it says that the 1008a1 has a 100 amp communications kit. My truck had a radio rack in it and the 4 antennas. I dont know what model it is because the plate is gone from the door. My alternators seem to be two 12v civilian models. What does the...

Well, here is my 2cents Here is a picture I caught of the AZ Guard recruiting HMMWV. Im not fond of it. Here in CA, the Guard has 7 emergency comm trucks, 5 are HMMWVs. I work on one of them, (My profile pic). I here that somebody wants to wrap them with ACU, yet others want to go 686 sand...

As posted above, I replaced NAPA filter with a NOS out of the box and plastic bag US Military surplus CUCV filter. Its the same as the NAPA one. But the surplus one is still in the truck and the picture. The Noise is not a whistling effect, its a deep loud strong engine sound. Kind of like if...

Ive seen what your talking about. Its not the problem, its seated properly. The noise is the deep vhoom of the engine, and it echos through the cab, even with the windows down, its loud.

I have this problem with my aircleaner housing. First I just bought the truck and drove it home. I found the air cleaner foam was toast and the element was sucking in so I get a replacement at NAPA. I put it on and the truck is really loud now when it accelerates. Its so loud that it gives me...

I need this bracket for the dash board of my M-1008. Its for holding radio gear.

There were USMC PRC-515s? Wow, thats news to me. I thought they went right from the 74 to the 104 and then to the 138 and now the 150 like we have the Army. Also should mention the PRC-1099 which is the size of a prc-77 and takes a 12v battery like wise. Has 9 I think programable channels...

So, Bob asked about HF packs. I wanted to keep the antenna page on topic hoping it would become a sticky because I think its important. As for useablity of HF packs available. THe israili PRC-174 is awesome even though mine wont work right on 80m. They are heavy, I have a big battery box...

Here is a link to a manufacturer named Shakespeare that has many differrent types of broad and narrow band antenas that are all millspec and mount on standard military platforms. I have come across some of these on our vehicles and recognize them. I use some that I have gotten surpluss on my...

Ok, the 12v Junction on the firewall would be perfect for the radios and accesories plugs, but, where would the cigarette lighter have wired into a civy truck in the fuse pannel, wouldnt that be the correct place to hook that unit into?

Ok, so I want to do two things here; 1. wire up a straight 12v source for my ham radio. It will have its own inline fuse. Where should I get 12v + and ground? 2. Wire up a cigarette lighter in the correct place. My friend said that there are J plugs that stick into the fuse box, but I...

Nice Shetler Greg. Looks just like mine, except mine's pale green and dark green where I scrubbed the grafitti off last week. (bastard taggers, I swear if I catch them...) Any way, I have replaced the leaking Power Steering hose, and patched the joint on the radiator from the tank to the core...
