    My new LMTV is blowing water pumps and loosing alternator brackets!

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to upload using chrome or safari. The parts diagram shows a small L bracket the top alternator ear goes into. It lists a locknut and a M8 bolt. 43 PAOZZ 19207 12414308-018 NUT,SELF-LOCKING,EX................. 1 44 PAOZZ 19207 12414307-040...

    My new LMTV is blowing water pumps and loosing alternator brackets!

    Belt started squealing. Bolt missing. What size is it? Also noticed my water pump is not cat yellow. Has some surface rust. Probably replaced recently. I may have the same problem. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    When I tilt my cab near the front of the truck above the radiator there is a huge flap door. It looks like it brings in fresh air. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    bed hold down options

    I picked up a couple of batteries and realized I don't carry and straps or nets. What kind of load retaining stuff are you using? I did go look at military cargo nets but the variety blew my mind. :)

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    I noticed there is a vent that goes from the bottom of the cab directly above the engine. I think a lot of sound is bleeding through that vent hole and the open grate. Has anyone looked into damping that sound at all?

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    I totally agree about road noise and tires. I will look into other options. From what others have said the dynamat will deaden thuds but won't do a great job of damping sound. Some people have recommended using acoustic foam to help absorb more of the noise.

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    Now that I have had a night sleep on it here are my ideas of areas/things that me be possible to reduce overall noise: Engine: - tune engine to reduce overall noise. - wrap intake/exhaust pipes with exhaust wrap or aerogel cover - acoustic cover over valve cover? I know most passenger cars...

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    What is the combination thermal noise paint. Is this some kind of bedliner material or something more like undercarriage paint/coating?

    taming the beast - making it more liveable

    My wife and I took our first freeway drive in our new LMTV. It involved climbing into the local hills to our favorite burger joint at Alice's Restaurant. If you are the only one driving the truck it's a bit bumpy and loud. When my wife is in the truck and we are trying to talk to talk with...

    Solar Battery Tending

    I'm a big fan of the pulse technology. I have been using it for years in a CTEK charger. I suspect that it's not widespread due to patents. In a large battery backed solar setup it would certainly help extend the batteries lifespan if lead acid is used. From what the hawker rep tells me the...

    Starting/Stopping Engine with Cab Tilted?

    There is some kind of smog cert on the valve cover. I guess I will need to pull the air pipes off to fully inspect the top. Is it a printed label or stamped in?

    Starting/Stopping Engine with Cab Tilted?

    I lifted my cab with the engine running and then switched it off and lowered the cab. I'll try a full cycle next time. Despite my best efforts I could not locate the engine serial number. If it's under the alternator I think I would need to remove that part to see it.
