Anyone know if I need to drain oil (and how much) from the transmission before I pull the PTO off of a truck for a winch transplant? Pulling it this Sunday..... appreciate any input. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They do have switches. Thanks for the elbow part numbers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, the sun was going down. Plan to try again Saturday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. I think I will try the heat, a monkey wrench, and a big hammer and se what happens. I am not entirely sure how that thing goes together. I did not feel a head on the top. Did it break off or what should it look like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My experience with flat paints is they show greasy fingerprints, dusty fingerprints, just everything...... etc. I was thinking of using satin since I have had good experience with clean ability. Do those that have done satin like it better? My truck will not match true military finish...

I have heard you can get them from Ryder Trucks. I think Broke Overland bought them there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doing a winch transplant..... about half way through. The vertical roller (one that the nut is in the bottom) that is under the fuel tank does not spin. I don’t see a grease fitting for it. I see the nut under neath but no bolt head above it. I can’t figure out how the roller comes out or is...

Thanks everyone for your input..... I will probably have to do several layouts before I finalize how many of gauges I can actually add. What priority of the gauges listed above would you pick? Listed most needed to least. Did I miss any really important ones? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone...

I ended up buying a battery balancer. It is 100A rated. The one Superman sells. I am thinking with that, only one voltage gauge is good, since the balancer forces the 12v side to be 1/2 the 24v side. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just writing to thank fuzzytoaster ! In a few weeks I will update everyone with the entire story, including pictures (so no-one ask him about it yet)..... the write up will be worth the wait. But in the mean time, I just wanted to throw out a big Thank You! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesomeness is in Colorado, he also has bigger “hills” than a lot of us. Maybe people that are having a different experience don’t have the big hills. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, what gauges on my list make the most sense to everyone? That was the original question.... Dash is in an 1999 1083A1 w/ 3126 serpentine belt truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I only asked about a couple of gauges. Which, if any are useful to add? From what I can tell, most of you think it is a dumb idea. Based on the “unhelpful” responses. I have seen several people paint their dashes, which I plan to do..... this does not appear to be much more work besides...

What was it called? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What for? I plan to have an overhead area for rear view screen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw that..... I just don’t have the desire to u stitch the floor mat, trace it, cut a new one, then stitch it together again. That sounds like a lot of work I won’t enjoy. Now stains and paints..... that is easy for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that looks awesome. Nice Job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The TMs say that 25inH2O is in the red. I cannot read the numbers. Is the top line 25 or the line between the green and red 25? I have seen some gauges with 28 listed as max and others with 25. Anyone have a clear picture of what the FMTV should have? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using...

So, I was thinking about adding some switches to the dash. Then, I found out a family member was possibly getting a plasma table. So, now I am thinking about making a new dash plate all together. Just brainstorming here and honestly, it will be a long while before I get to this on my todo...

Any recommendation on brand or a specific one? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
