Do troop carrier tops roll up on the side? Or, maybe I should phrase it... are they able too? I know the back flaps roll up and some how stay in place but I was curious about the sides. My Humvee came with the top but it immediately went to storage. I'm considering installing it if and only if I...
Directed at Retiredwarhorses… cleaning my tank now. My strainer rusted off. The question is, when replacing, does the strainer just slip on? Or, is there something we need to apply to make sure it does not come off? In other words do I just put it on or do I need to use an adhesive? Thanks in...

Don't mean to revive an old thread but I wanted to give my take on the American Humvee Springs just in case anyone else looked up something similar.
I am quite certain I was one of the first sales outside of close friends and his own testing. I bought them back 2018. I was mainly interested in...
A bill was proposed and PASSED in December of 2018. It reads as follows...

It can run... but what I did because l had so much to remove, I put the acetone in a bucket and used a scotch brite pad and would douse the painted areas. That way it would all run off. But mine is camo and not tan, so it may show some streaking? Test a small area first.
All right here’s the update. Sorry for the delay.
Follow the entire flow diagram in the maintenance manual. Everything checks out OK. That’s all systems. Fan switch, Cadillac valve, time delay module, continuity in the wiring harness and components, etc.
Quick background, my fan comes on...
This was the problem on mine as well. However, here's a little tip...
Don't bother with a flat head screwdriver. They are too hard to work with in long, tight spaces. Use a wobble extension or universal drive with a 5/16 or 8mm socket. Much better confirmation of contact and applied torque...
Got around to checking the rig out today. Started her up cold. Jiggled wires and harnesses. Nothing. Pulled the 2 prong connector to the cadillac valve and the fan spools up. Slows back down when connected. While still cold, I played with the throttle, holding steady at different RPMs. Sure...
Ahh. Good point. I did happen to know the fail safe is full on, so it makes sense that possible a wire my be loose causing the fan to sporadically turn on and off. I'll check it out tonight and see what I can find. Thank you for your input.
