I wouldn’t think so, but turning it the first time before you lift it will be interesting.
I have some thoughts on why this is just now an issue. Before when I was driving the Humvee it was cold....below freezing. So I think it was able to control the temp off of the tstat. The last time I...
Looked them up. The first step says with engine off turn the wheel all the way to the left. With a tiny wheel, big tires, and no help?! That will suck. Then it talked about cap on and off and jacked up and turning the wheel to full lock, holding for 5 seconds, up to 40 times!
Didn’t trust my 2 ton jack to lift the Humvee, so today I went and bought a heavy duty 3 ton. Aired up the tires to what others have recommended for the road. And after a quick test drive, which the bounce was better but not gone, the power steering started making noise. Checked it and it had a...
It’s an 85 that was redone in 07. Don’t know if it got any sort of upgrade. The steering (just driving) feels great and tracks nicely actually. Doesn’t mean that isn’t my issue. Thank you, I will go grab and yank on it.
My oil pressure gauge is stuck at 60, well I start the truck (and since day one) if slowly rises to 60 and never comes down till I shut it off. Does anyone have any experience if it’s the gauge or the sender? Just wondering which one to order first.
I have a very bad bounce and then after it sat I had a small puddle that came from the shock leaking it’s fluid. Mine could also be a bad tire that made the situation worse but if the shock is leaking it has to be fixed anyways.
Found a local place that has done Humvee shocks before and said 25 per shock unless bolts are frozen. So I’m gonna take them up on that offer. Gonna start spraying PB blaster on the lower nuts and when the shocks come in then set up an apt!
Added more air pressure in the tire that was bouncing (they are the 37’s) and I went to 27psi. This cut down on the bouncing but didn’t go away. It did allow me to go past the bounce and so I drove it around and parked it, when moved there was a small puddle. Felt the puddle and really felt like...
Well I did only have 20psi in the tires as that’s what the manual said. Maybe more pressure would help. I really think they are just old tires, I have not torn apart my hubs but did change the fluid in them.
What do you think I have a bad hub?
Got the title yesterday, went to the dmv and got tags today. A couple questions like what color is this and “is this a truck”? But I was really worried about the tax, she punched that in and I just had to pay the 110 for tags and registration. I then drive it to get fresh diesel, and took it to...
Been noticing a old jeep not a mile from my house, has the military tires on it. Well today I saw the owner out around his barn and so when I got home I took the humvee down to meet him. He was in the service and this jeep is something his grandpa bought after the Korean War and is a 47 Willis...
