    It's alive!!!

    I would try purging the fluid. Tires off the ground and crank the wheel back and forth while someone eyeballs the fluid in the reservoir. FYI, when purging an empty reservoir and system one crank of the wheel will empty the reservoir. Air trapped in the pressurised fluid is what is boiling...

    From the view of the second picture you are missing a power steering reservoir............ look at some of the truck pictures and compare to yours..... big round and black right behind the generator over the left valve cover............... or do you have the older style with the integral...

    Welcome to the world of HMMWV ownership! Someone posted a pic of the inside of a fuel tank awhile back I can't seem to find, it was educational to say the least. Not to add to your workflow I would advise pulling the fuel sender and putting an eyeball in the hole. The fuel systems ability to...

    It's alive!!!

    The fording system includes the hydroboost and the power steering reservoir into the "old" vented system. The hubs,diffs, transmission and transfer case and fuel pump and probably something I've forgot. There are 3 lines that go to the fording valve that was removed from the "dash". If you...

    They take 12,2 and 18 and the associated bits. Mogman is correct, if you don't intend to get in very deep water they are not needed. But you do need the regular CDR. Post one today told me all I needed to know. It show you fingernail, looks like mine !

    It's alive!!!

    Your missing CDR valve is the deep water fording one and includes a few other pieces that they also removed. They can be seen in the parts dia. My go tos are Mac Motors or The Hummer Parts guy first. First line parts and they seem to go up in price daily everywhere lately no matter the...

    M1097R1 -- some leak, what to check?

    EVERYTHING................. The stain in the picture is DOT 5 brake fluid....... silicone stuff, unique to the trucks. Don't mix it with anything else. If you figure out how to remove the stain let me know, have one just like it for years. Check every thing with a plug or dipstick , and chain...
