Gave the truck come attention. Did an oil change, transmission spin on, and coolant filter changes. Fresh wiper blades and a new washer fluid switch. Sourced switch very reasonable from fellow member Suprman. Power washed it and cleaned the cover using kaboom no drip foam which I have used...

front rim hubcaps My front tire rims are camian / fmtv wheels. They make a hubcap add on kit that fits these wheels for the fmtv to protect the ctis components. A few years ago, I got my front right stock wheel stuck 8-10 inches deep in nice mucky Mississippi red sandy clay. While trying to...

Under Bed Tow bar brackets from TMG My bows and staves are usually mounted 95% of the time and when I take them off, I keep them together as a unit as they are bolted at the bow corners so they don't come apart with the wonderful roads we have and the off road I use it at camp. I never use the...

Wheel Chock Holder bracket One of my scout leaders who teaches welding at the Boy Scout camp was gracious enough to take my rough idea and weld me a bracket to hold my rubber wheel chocks. Thanks Glenn! It fits perfect on top of the passenger tool box inbetween my pioneer rack and the jerry...

No, during the summer she does see a lot of service at a Boy Scout Camp but more an occasional weekend warrior joy ride now.

Block Heater Since my water pump gasket / copper crush washer is leaking, I am changing it this weekend. Since I had to drain the coolant, I decided to go ahead and install a Block heater. Now I know where I live is not exactly cold but we do get in to the 20-30's sometimes :-) My batteries...

Wilton C2 Vice When I had installed my winch this spring I also installed the vice mounting plate at the same time off a scrapper wrecker. At the GA rally Carnac had a vice and $150 brought it home. I was not sure what I was getting into as I had never taken one apart and not sure what this...

Thanks! I suspect the flat side (why even bother?) would work but it did not and I did not want to bend the squirrel cage as I was keeping it for a spare. Seems like the engineers at hunter who built the heater are not in sync with the am engineers..... I did not do the t filter because those...

Blower Motor Replacement knocked out another repair item today. Blower motor was locked up. I used a good pull from a scrapper. Easiest way I saw to change the motor was to pull the squirrel cage fan housing off the heater box with the motor still attached. 4 Phillips screws. I had tried to...

Rhurey had an awesome deal on led clearance route lights with mrap brackets. The L bracket was perfect for what I had in mind. This summer I had to back up in perfect darkness at the boy scout camp a few times. Sure nice to have some more light than just the LMTV back up lights I have on my...

My GMA cover had the junk super rope that does not hold up. A piece broke on my corner and the cover was flapping. The corner where the rope goes through got delaminated and I lost one layer and the middle filler I guess while driving on the interstate. Zev GoldnEagle was kind enough to give me...

In Bed front storage Picked up this tool box at the Ga Rally from Mwmules. I believe it is for the lmtv trucks in the cab. Fits the front of the bed perfectly and does not interfere with the troop seats nor the drop side. I used pcb box mounting spacers under it so it would not rust here in the...

Winch counter weight trays for storage Just wanted to share an idea that I did when installing a winch on my truck. I also installed the M936A2 front counter weight trays as I thought they would make some cool storage. Only the A2 have them because the 8.3 motor is lighter than the nhc 250. The...

New socks and shoes Thanks to help with Zev and his tire guy we are sporting some new footwear. Goodyear MV/T 395-85-20 all around. 4 tires brand new with zero miles and 2 like new. I wanted the good years because of the speed rating. The front wheels are New Camian steel wheel assemblies...

Just an update as it has been one year since I installed a coolant filter. I had flushed out the system extensively 3 years ago when I changed the water pump and last year when I repaired the heater core. There had been a lot of nastys in the radiator, coolant tank, and heater. Still found...

Adding a power steering cooler I got a power steering cooler off an A2 from Matt (castlebravo) and installed it recently. Pretty straight forward mod. I did it to keep the fluid cooler and add some capacity as heat is more my problem where I live than cold. think hot + 100% humidity :-) The...

self cancelling turn signal Not my original idea as Suprman had posted it originally but I like to R&D (rip off & duplicate) You will need a black turn signal switch off a hmmv nsn 6220-01-408-7785, part 19207-12447083 as it has the external cam on the top to reset it self when tripped...

Thanks for the kind words and I also love your cool toys :-) Wish you were just a little closer.... Happy and prosperous New Year to you and your family Carlo!

No, I have not done anything worthy of posting. I thought I would do some work on my Christmas vacation but it was rainy here and cold. (not anywhere as frigid as the rest of the nation but my internal thermometer reads cold a lot higher than most of you I suspect) :-) I did have to change my...

coolant filter I was surprised that our trucks do not have coolant filters since they are standard with most civy trucks. Also not knowing if the coolant had the proper chemicals in the mix for diesels concerned me. Coolant filters not only filter the junk out but have the proper diesel anti...
