All the tops are insulated somewhat. I dont feel the heat radiating through to my head like my jeeps do. That arctic top has more and different insulation. I would like to try a white arctic top and curtain to see how much cooler it is compared to the stock camo top

April fools guys....c'mon.

More likely...what little commercial potential we may have would not have been worth dealing with our demands for a quality product.

Yeah, I looked into the breton closing for a few minutes. Says they are shuttered and building and equipment is for sale. Lots of 1 star reviews from former employees on glassdoor. My guess...the fat government contracts dried up and the whole mismanaged place imploded. All the stuff from them...

I hate to say it, but if your finances are this tenuous, You might want to cut your losses and pay the default because a HMMWV is not a budget friendly acquisition.

Start with the rubber fuel lines that run across the valley. To filter from lift pump...from filter to injection pump...and the fuel return on top of the injection pump.

Pipe dope is the way to go for the temp sender. It allows the threads to make metal to metal contact that a one wire sender needs to ground properly. The liquid pipe sealer fills in the voids in the threads sealing the assembly. Teflon tape more often than not will act as an insulator even...

I just installed a few sets of gauge and sender and fan switch and thermostat. Running some road tests today to verify fan engagement cycles and burnishing the rusty/dusty brake rotors. 78 degrees outside. Kinda daring the trucks to overheat. New gauges performed identically. Came alive promptly...

I voted for 7K cause there wasnt a 15K

While you are under there, cast your eye on the transmission mount assy looking for any damage that may be allowing the transfer case to shift around and change the alignment of the linkages

I put mine in the spot with the least amount of reasons not to put it there. Or like this for airlift bumper guys...

Seems like the lift pump...most likely... Could also be air being sucked in from loose connections or deteriorated hoses. I believe you are only supposed to open that drain cock when the engine is running to clear out/check for water contamination. Ive changed out a fair amount of lift pumps on...

Finally found the nutserts I needed to install the shifter properly...solo.

I really liked the way the Military Trucklite LEDs looked in this 5 ton i saw...

Glow plug change. Four of them were stuck. Extractor from Black Dog Customs did the trick

Yeah, once I experienced the opening characteristics of the cutaway hood, those stiffeners made more sense. I dont have any of those panels to try out and see if they fit, though. The cut out grille makes the hood just a bit more awkward to open. New rubbers in the airlift holes help as the...

Some more pics showing longer cooler and pivot bracket on the cooler

Longer radiator and cooler. The cooler can even be pivoted up and propped in place to service the radiator separately. The cutaway hood is less rigid and the flex when opening makes the passenger side hood stop catch in the air cleaner cover and cave it in. You can niggle with the adjustment to...

I was really hoping to get Steve's opinion on the angle drive. I haven't had one come through the shop yet. Had a customer ask about retrofitting an angle drive fan setup. Told him I couldn't speak intelligently about its efficacy...just that they are very spendy Sent from my SM-G970U using...
