Here is what my brother found:
"Those are standard radio tags. Typically used when rail shipping unit equipment. This truck most likely went to JRTC (Joint Readiness Testing Center) for pre-deployment training. While it's not 100% conclusive, the serial number didn't show up under the W90KNQ...
I knew it the government is tracking me! ;)
Happened to find this little guy between the radiator and skid plate. Battery was still at 3.7V too. Bonus is it might give some info on who had the truck, have my brother (former army motorpool) looking into it.
Thinking through some different ideas for framing out the shipping container/box. I'm not very experienced with house building methods so I'm kind of just winging it. Figure you guys may have some different ideas.
I already have 2" closed cell insulation in the container. I do live in WI and...
Anyone have any tips on removing these? Wondering if special press tool is needed, or if the taper is big enough they can just be tapped out fairly easily?
Right, the circuit breaker is required. Mine was the same (missing circuit breaker, no light). If everything else is correct except the abs computer the light will be on.
Replaced the four 75/86 (reserve capacity 70 each)batteries with 2 6TLs(reserve capacity 230each)
Wasn't a fan of the floppy way they fit in the battery box plus now I have more room for activities.
I see a lot of people saying the price on the 6TLs is terrible but these were $240 each from...
It wouldn't shock me if the pump had some issues. It was clear the shaft was painted over and then the pump used so that paint may be in the seals causing a leak. New pump is on order. Will try to rebuild this one too, looks like there is a retaining circlip or similar on the bottom.
So with a vented cap on the pump, what's to stop the spare tire cylinder from leaking into the reservoir due to gravity?
Edit: looks like as long as there is no air leak and the reservoir level remains above the return port, it can't.
Trying to sort out my hydraulic system. Took out the air/oil pump and removed all the lines.
Still have issues with hand pump overflowing, have a NOS one coming and I'll try rebuilding the one I have too.
Here is the vented cap that's needed if you delete the air/oil system
Air over oil is gone, totally removed from the system.
The cab lock engages, but it takes those ~30-40 pumps to draw down the cab cylinder until it hits a "hard stop" where the pump handle doesn't want to move and the cylinder is at it's retracted limit. No sponginess in the pump handle present.
Got my vented pump cap. Removed all air lift and air/oil lines. Also took the safety valves out of the spare tire cylinder as I occasionally have it lock up.
Also checked out the manifold orifices and valves, all in great shape. All filter checked and clear as well.
