    I say welcome also. My truck was born in 68 Feb. You'll have to click on the little picture to the left to see it, as I still can't figure out how to post pictures. Many members have tried to help me, but I'm not good enough on this laptop to do it. Is their a way to do it from my phone? I absolutely hate not being able to share pics to this site!

    Welcome to the site. The first thing you need to do is get a copy of the Technical Manuals (TM's) for the truck. The are like the Chiltons manual but the Army broke them up into groups each ending with a - and a number. -10 is the operators manual. It was written for the guy driving the truck. -20 is for the motor pool repair shop at unit level. -34 (30/40) is the depot maintenance which will allow you to rebuild everything. You will want to get a copy of all three books. And the -20 and -34 also have a corresponding -20P and -34P which are the parts books that show every part, nut and bolt.

    The wiring as stated before is straight forward and repairing your harness is not the difficult and new wire and connectors can be had on that famous online auction/shopping site. Good luck with your truck and post pictures when you can. We love pictures.

    We started over on mine with a universal harness from Hotrodwires.com, and it works great. Not nearly original, though.

    Download the Tapatalk app for your phone-- it's the only way I can figure out how to post pix.

    Yikes! I don't even know what tapatalk is. I'll see if my daughter or daughter in law can help me with it. I've had so many pictures I would have liked to post, but I'm just not smart enough I guess. It's very frustrating to me. I'll try though, thanks.

    It's like any other app for your phone: weather, games, etc., easily downloaded from the source applicable to the platform your phone uses (mine is the Apple App Store).

    Please understand I'm no techie: I lived in rural WY for 18 years where knowledge like chaining up a truck or hammering a saw blade were important. I still don't know what "hashtag" means.

    If I can do it, you certainly can.

    Default New lighting

    How do I go about adding new LED lights to my truck (off road lights) most are 12v is it easier to just get the converters or should I look fro 24v alternatives

    most of the LED lights out there are 10-30 volts, so you don`t have to get special lights. Just read the description and voltage before you purchase them.
    I just recently purchased a 50",20" light bars and a bunch of 3"x3" lights all up to 30 volts.

    Default Oil filter issue

    I finally got my truck running. How ever after running for a few seconds it starts to spray oil from the oil filter (enough for a possible epa call) the filter is the Napa 1515 that's recommended the oil is SAE 30. It seem like the oil pressure is too much and blowing the seals out of the filter. Has anyone else had this problem and what can I do to fix it?
