    700r4 swap - core and rebuilt or "new"?

    Even with a turbo upgrade, I doubt the 6.2 could hurt the 700R4, provided it is kept cool. Excessive heat will cook any transmission.

    Recovered XM963 deuce prototype today.

    Its difficult to tell for certain by looking at the pics. Whichever it is on the passenger side, its appears as though its smaller than the air filter housing on the 939, leading me to believe it was the muffler. Perhaps John will chime in. This truck is definitely the missing link between the...

    I didn't know DH had an A3. Must be holding out on us.

    Overspeed?

    I have heard that the 915 trucks had them. Any time the vehicle exceeded 55 mph, the OVERSPEED light was activated. It was likely de-activated by the driver at their first convenience (esp when owned by a civy).

    Recovered XM963 deuce prototype today.

    Take a closer look at 4th pic. The exhaust appears to be behind the cab on the passenger side, just like the 939 series. But the muffler is below the frame, behind the step box. The spare tire davit is also visible.

    Congrats on the initiation to OD crew. Enjoy the ride and the pride of ownership. If you get the opportunity, attend a rally or 2 or 10.

    Recovery Gone Wrong - M936

    I have seen Gimpy's wrecker plowing thru mud headlight high. Woulda hated doing the cleanup/maintenance after that thrashing. half way clean water is one thing (flood, pond, lake, river), but that big ol' nasy mud hole @ Haspin was a h3ll hole.

    Extra storage

    Clinto- it's not the material the gloves are made of, but the size. If you can find some in size XXXXL they may work. He might be better off finding some weather balloons on GL to wear as gloves.

    M813 Jump Start

    The reason for putting it on the negative side is so it will not run the risk of dead-shorting. If the ends of the cable or terminals on the kill-switch somehow touch to ground, its no issue. Which ever way you do it, neg or pos, it still serves the same purpose. Killing the ground is just safer.

    M813 Jump Start

    Yes. Pull the cables and charge each battery seperately, esp. if using a 12v charger.

    Oh Dear Lord! I just bought a 5 ton from Ft Rucker in AL. Now what?

    The problem with CTIS is that when the vehicle sits for a long period of time, the system is notorius for tires leaking down and sitting flat, thus substantially weakening the side wall of the flat tire. Disengaging the CTIS will not revive a damaged (weak) sidewall. Just be aware and prepared...

    Any way to tighten M1009 mirror?

    I originally tried it with electrical tape. Worked great until summer. Then it melted. FAIL. So I re-did it with some thin rubber. No problems after 4 yrs now. Once you get the screw out and the cover off, the rest is obvious what is needed. Just use a suitable material.:)

    Cold Outside Air Through Firewall

    I am at a loss to explain that one. Perhaps when its dark, have someone get under the truck and shine a flashlight toward the area and look for gaps from the inside?

    Cold Outside Air Through Firewall

    Sounds to me like the side vent(s) are open.
