I did see this on Cabel Garbee's site a while ago. Thought it might be of some help...

Try contacting Modine. They purchased the company Heatex Howden Inc., that built the originals as supplied to Bombardier/DND. We get them rebuilt from a company in Canada as well, but of course I need to see a rad with the company sticker on it. I'll check into that tomorrow.
m109guy - I'd appreciate what info you could send my way as maritmer asked for in an earlier post. I've seen a couple lot's being auctioned on ICAN and they were listed as scrap in the ads. The pics of some were definitely not scrap, but I suspect they just reached their REL. Would love to get...
I'm partial to the look of the Mercedes Actros with its armored cab. Would have been a good candidate along side Force Protection's Buffalo in the recent movie "Transformers"; it's got that Optimus Prime look to it. Canada recently began replacing it's Afghanistan support/logistics convoy fleet...
Probably going overseas as I have seen these trucks in Afghanistan this past spring in use with Afghan National Army and their US advisors. It's an International 7000-MV. Here's the link - http://shortlinks.net/quf608 on the truck.
Saw this post and thought I'd send along this info, as the product is manufactured by GMA Cover. I can't get a quote to attach, but WillWagner above asked to see a photo of the rubber straps. They are definitely made by GMA, but I didn't see them in the U.S. or Canadian catalogs. They work well...
Here's the shots of the power cable and their connectors as well as water trailer application parts.Checked on the plug but, supply won't have an answer until tomorrow.
Had a look today at the Swingfire's. Attached are photo's of the plugs, original and recent replacement alternative. The alternate one is the Bosch and it's NSN is 2920-12-311-0972, Civ. part WR7AC. According to our supply guy's, it cost about $2.17.....I would think it's available at an auto...
I'll have a look to see what parts of the 5 water trailer Swingfire's I have left on the shelves remain. Up until 2 months ago I had the displeasure of trying to locate and repair these 5 for a field exercise this week past and found there are a few parts that are no longer available through our...
What are the tan vehicles on the low-bed's called? They look familiar in a newer V-100 series kind of way. The turret looks similar to the Cadillac-Gage 1M turret. I've seen them before somewhere but can't remember where on-line it was.
I recently got back home from my tour in Afghanistan and looking at these new HMMVW's makes me wonder a few thing's in regards to the armoring of the doors. I've added some pic's of the one's I routinely saw except for 2(?) styles that I don't have or can't locate pic's of right now. I agree...
Hello All -
Great photo. Saw the Oshkosh HET for the first time recently and was impressed. It belonged to the British and was in Afghanistan. I haven't got the pictures on hand but I'll dig them up soon and post them. I do have a couple interesting ones of a recovered LAV-3 on the deck of a...
Looks very much like the ACAV M-60 machine gun shield kit for the M-113. Two would be mounted at the left and right of the rear "family hatch".
