yep

Did you end up welding the motor mounts or did they bolt in? You used the 6.2 mounts or ???? I ask because this may be a project soon. Any other OH-NO pitfalls? Thanks for the post and have fun with your new monster!

Possible leftovers from hurricane Mathew? idk

Drained 4 buckets of this s@@@ outta my 5 this morning after refueling yesterday. I let the inconvenience store know of their swill they were selling and said they will refund me--- yeah right

Worked on my hub drain plugs. One actually came out with allen wrench. Drilled centers out, the used an ez-out to remove. Took a little over two hours. Installed new plugs that take a 5/8 wrench to remove. Snugged tight-- not put back with a 1/2 inch breaker bar. Oh and Happy T-day

After chasing a coolant fan problem for a few days I finally fixed it. Bad time delay module. The fan kicks on after 220, closer to 230-- I'm going to hit it with my heatgun today and see where it really is. I hate when gauges read at the edge of their limits, but if that's the way it is I guess...

Let it go--- statute glad to own a mv.............

If you really want a kick in the pants-- my tag looks like the day they handed it to me.... Why? Never put it on. It is slid in my headliner. Drive all over and never been stopped. I have no military markings on my bumpers.

I have a antique tag on my 1990 923. It is registered as a former mv. My one buddy has a regular tag on his and uses it every day in his tile business. Never been pulled over or harassed. Guess I'll see you at the next parade or gas station.

I have tagged two 5 tons and have several friends that own mv. None of us have ever been told to and from parade/gas station. We drive them anywhere we want. I have even been complemented by several different police departments. Went to tag office and tagged it just like a ford truck.

Mine did that also and fried almost every electrical item on it, even put pretty blue etchings on the inside of my headlights.

Tried to do just what you are trying to do. I ended up pulling the stack. Make sure you didn't damage your shroud. I replaced my fan blade with a new one from kaskar before my truck left my driveway!

Bulldogger-- if it were me, I'd leave it alone. I know its tempting, but you may make a slight leak worse. I do have MR.MURPHY'S cell phone # if you want to give him a call and see what he thinks. lol

Bulldogger-- Glad to (see) that you have evolved from the stone ages! The Amish headlight system on the military vehicles is a joke. The blackout lights are brighter than the headlights..... lol

Looks good-- those short wheel base tractors are growing on me. I see one in the future.

I would not recommend changing to a 12v charging system. You will create a ton of problems, let alone spending a small fortune on replacement parts. I would recommend a delco replacement and a 24/12 volt convertor.

Buying a mv from gp is like a pregnancy, it should be about 9 months-- start to finish!

Looks good Bulldogger. Painted my white artic top od green as well. At least its green now-- and it took 6 cans to cover it, but for a free new in the box 4 man top I'm not complaining.

oh no Lucy-- You got some splaning to do!
