YAY!!! With a couple spare wheels from Martin at FMTV Sales, I think I have solved the problem. Last week or so, I checked the roundness of the tires and found one of the rear ones distressingly non-concentric (maybe ~3/8") and another marginally so. None of them were perfectly round and with...

I don't know if they are in active production but talk to Jeff. He may have a pair in stock and if not can order and drop ship. The lead time to him was a little long from Power Packer but I was impressed with his customer service: Jeff Fitzgerald Assistant Parts Manager Office: (405)...

The answer is there for you already: The 3116 is a mechanical motor.

Turns out they were off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Flex-lite-11624-Reversible-Electric/dp/B004KV2HE2 They were $88 when I bought them. Looking now, they are out of stock but available elsewhere, albeit more expensive though.

Sure, no problem, but will need to back through my order histories. I think they were off Summit or Jegs but can verify later.

Think through your fan replacement. I didn't break anything when I moved my trans cooler but went with two much lower profile 24v fans. A simple blanking plate over the core matrix with round holes sized for the fans got the job done in a package that was 5-6" shorter overall than the OEM...

I started with my control box there but it's right where all the road debris and such will get tossed. I ended up moving it above where you have the pump on the tower I have for the air filters. Despite very few miles on it so far (and none off road), I am very glad I did it. Pics in the...

Wow. For that price, I would have just gone with a vendor truck. I've seen them around the $25k mark for a 1083.

I guess I am pretty unloaded. Just went past a DOT scale: Front - 9,800# Rear - 7,200# Total - 17,000 That is with me (~200#) and ~5/8 tank of fuel (30-ish gal). I checked how round the tires are and the left two rear tires were a bit out of round, enough so that I may disassemble and...

Just regular house paint? What's the prep and application techinque? Has anyone used satin or gloss as well?

And we now return to our regularly scheduled broadcast..... Some forward progress and some stagnation: radiator was successfully removed, repaired, and replaced. I didn't take many pictures during the process and just followed along with the TM, and it pretty much went right along with how I...

Try Martin at FMTV Sales outside of Portland (Hillsboro). Seems like he always has trucks moving through and I know he parts out some. He's also within driving range for you.

I got adventurous and took off the oil fill tube where it bolts onto the cover and saw a nut right in front of it. I assume that's it? Looks like it should be. 1 1/8" socket? The good thing is it was nice and tight. If that wasn't it, feel free to re-direct me. Thanks in advance!

Thanks George. Can anybody point me at the TM section or actual procedure for cover removal. Or is as simple as just pull the bolts, remove the cover, check the nut's tightness?

Still looking for a little help please. I found this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/loose-rad-fan.194345/ My fan is the one in post #8 above and didn't have parts #30, 31, & 33 from this image: So I assume it's a new one and doesn't have the rubber hub which disintegrates...

And on the fan, it is distinctly not wobbly right now. I gave it a good shaking around while it was still on the motor and it's quite stable. I can't seem to find the thread right now, but at one point I want to say I saw a recommendation on removing the rubber piece which is prone to failure...

Is there something specific that I need to inspect on these and what should I be looking for? What is the high wear item here? It has been working fine. Got a diagram/location? Is this the cover: Thanks in advance.

Is this the old style fan? Back: Part ID:

An update on the truck- I have a few parallel projects running and the others jumped the truck's priority recently, so haven't been putting the time in as much as I wanted. I have started it up a few times and gone around the block or out for gas, but not too far due to the coolant leak. What...

Sandspider- It was recommended by Quade at Overland Adventure Truck as a better alternative to the lighter (5t) spring pack. It seems to have made the truck's ride very reasonable, almost like a 1 ton pickup. With the air ride of the cab, it almost feels plush. Or at least "truck plush"...
