I have no idea what they used for the HMMWV or anything else but when I went looking I found Stencil Machines on epay. If you do a search for Military Stencil Machine you will get lots of results. Two common models are Marsh and Ideal. They are die cutters that write what you want in a cut...

Thanks for the suggestion. A left hand bit is usually used when a threaded bolt is seized in a threaded hole. The left hand bit can help release the clamp load of the threads and spin it in the right direction to unscrew it. In this case it doesn't matter, the bolt isn't threaded in, it's...

Thanks for the feedback and advice. As of right now the bushing is no more "toast" than the rest of them. That said, the bushings as well as the rest of the truck turns 30 years old this year. ALL of the swing arm bushings *could* be replaced but none of them are so bad they *need* to be...

Thanks but I am not a beginner at difficult to remove bolts. I would like to touch on a couple things you suggested though. First, there is NO way you are breaking these bolts with an impact. The shank is 5/8" thick and it is rusted in place in a rubber bushing. You would rip it free from...

Thanks for the recommendations. A block of steel that big and heavy would be very difficult to hold in place if I had one. I did check everything after each attempt with the jack hammer to make sure I wasn't doing unnecessary damage.

A 30" 1/2" drive extension is pretty handy too. IIRC I had 1 person up top through the doghouse and 1 under with the extension. Might have had a swivel also.

The Fun begins! The first step is to turn around the rear control arm bolts. This is the same process used when mounting the front winch. You can see I have 2 - 6" x 5/8" bolts (circled in red). After removing the nut from the control arm bolt I use one of the 6" bolts to drive it out while...

I did my y pipe with the starter in place no problem.

For the winch control I'm going to add a switch next to the remote winch hand controller plug to select Front or Rear winch. This way I only need one connector and controller and can easily switch between them. I also have a couple Heavy Duty Winch Controllers from a larger truck. It is a...

I started to fit the winch to the rear mount. I rotated it to lay the solenoids down and line up the bolt holes. The first issue is the winch cable feeds from the opposite side of the winch so it needs to be rewound on the spool. I set the winch to free spool to pull the cable out and that...

yes

Got the comms working today, one of the headsets has a bad ear. Replaced the headset and all is good now. Also started working on the Rear Winch install. I have a rear winch mount and lines as well as the control valve and I have been looking for a winch. I came across and article about...

To add to what he said, the inspection is only required if the vehicle is driven in Vermont. Inspection laws are not enforced state to state. If you register it in Vermont and drive it in Florida no inspection would be required. You should have insurance since most states require proof of...

Don't sell it to a junk yard for $500, I'l give $750 and come pick it up! :D BTW, what year is it, in some states titles are only required after a certain year.

He died a few years ago.

I'm sure you probably already tried but I have found some useful pictures looking at gov planet auction picture.

Thanks I understand that so I'll make an assumption ... since A and B are on the MCS-L and they don't make the tone, is the tone associated with if the ports are available? Any ideas on why the INT and INT2 communicate with each other? Am I wrong in my understanding they are separate...

That is the EESS pulsing the glow plugs. Normal operation for that version of the start box.

Ok so the manual I had is not a direct match to the device. I did add the 2nd highway cable because I had it. I did find the cover on the bottom and found a switch and moved it 1 position and tested it. That solved the static problem. The other issues continue, tone in C, D, E and F on...

Thanks for the reply and I'm not questioning your experience. I did check the manual referenced and there doesn't seem to be anything about the Lite system in there. I have been searching the internet all morning and have found some vague information about the system configuration however that...
