Here is what is on my truck now: Here is the LQ-2 valve I got: Now I'm trying to figure out what the military did when they hooked this valve up(during the retrofit). For some reason, they used a tee and ran a 1/4" airline from the supply side to the control port. As you can see, my...

From what I've found in the TM's and the P2P software..it appears whoever did the retrofit for the ABS on my truck was too lazy to install the LQ-2 valve and just left the old style valve in place. Now I have to figure out where to source a tee, some elbows and a small airline. I really have...

Ok so I got this replacement LQ-2 valve. I went to go put it in, until I realized the part on my truck isn't a LQ-2 valve as it's supposed to be. And the plumbing in the P2P software for the LQ-2 valve has a bunch of different hardware(tee's and an extra line) that I don't have, and isn't on...

Now I'm thinking I should just remove the battery box too, and do the rust repairs in the entire cab all in one shot. It'll allow me to clean behind it- the soldiers left a mess of trash and shell casings(on links from a machine gun- so a M249). Is it just held in by the bolts that hold the...

Got the mat out. Scraped up a good bit of the loose stuff(dirt and rust..and 5.56 shell casings), and ran the shop vac to clean up. I literally could have used a shovel there was so much junk under that mat. It will NOT be going back in...all it does is keeps the floor good and moist- prime...

Another relief. It does appear to go under my drivers seat, but that's easy to take that out. I have some seats from a car that were replaced with racing seats..I may try to see if I can build something to mount it to the spring base. It won't really match the military truck theme(black suede...

Yes, them. Something I'll never do. Thank you.

I've also been trying to figure this out...what are the mounts on the top of the hood for? They have the Jeep type hood latches on them.

Ideally, all three. But if I had to pick one, I'd go with the front axle. It has the most weight over it, so those tires are most likely to get traction(or dig itself deeper in the mud).

Guess the post I made last night got deleted? Was trying to determine if something on eBay was the correct part for my truck. Oh well. I think my next step is to unbolt the seat, pull that out, and start working on the lower half of the cab- paint wise. $64,000 question is: Does the...

This. Definitely interested in a seat, not sure I'll have enough money for the winch.

It's bad on mine. It rained the past 2 days and I found a very wet cab today. Opened the windows and doors today once it was sunny out and tried getting it to dry out as much as possible. Will open it back up tomorrow morning, supposed to be 70 and sunny.

I'm sure this has bugged more then one of you. I'm putting the windshield wipers back on to the truck and hooking up all new lines. I notice that the drivers side wiper parks directly in my line of vision. If I swap the lines around, will it park on the opposite side(towards the center of the...

I too was worried about this. We have a pretty cheap/thin asphalt driveway...I'm nervous about driving on it during the warmer months. I keep it at my fathers house...he's already threatened me with having to replace the asphalt with concrete if the truck leaves ruts in the asphalt.

So power steering area leak... this is all I can find after cleaning the area(as best as I can with a pressure washer and simple green(not the best degreaser) and running the truck for a bit. I need to figure out the situation with these windows and their alignment as well. Not too sure...

Thank you. Looks like I'll probably go on Friday. I'm not bringing the truck though- I need to look for some parts at the show/swapmeet to get it road worthy. Not to mention the cost of fuel and tolls would leave me without any money to buy parts!

What is the best day to go?

Got the shaft back in today(with a ton of grease). Hooked the T/C linkage back up...went into the cab..and it actually shifts high-neutral-low. Very happy about that. I replaced the ball valve on the front gladhand connection. No leaks anymore there. I hooked it up to the shop air to see...

My truck has #2 diesel in it, it runs just fine on it. I'd bet there is something wrong with your engine, not the fuel.

Are these what are referred to as the pinon seals on these axles?
