I just ordered these as well. Will see how they fit when they get here.

Normally I buy from Kascar or HPG. These came from e-pay. Just took a closer look; No markings whatsoever. Probably made from Chinesium.

HMMWV Team, I have to replace my tail light buckets. I have two sets of new ones, but the lights barely fit. I will need to take my heat gun, and soften them up to get the light to fit (afraid I will crack the bucket if I force fit the lights). Are all buckets like this, or did I get some...

I keep a file of USMC markings and try to gather information from as many types as possible. Cheers Left rear - HHE 40, Right rear - HNC 29T . Year 2007 M-1102 trailer. Bought at Yermo. Appeared unused.

It was from a rain gutter / drip rail. I added the same to my Helmet top, and painted to match. Does a great job reducing leakage into the cab. Here is what I used Amazon.com: Trim-Lok Drip Rail, Black – 1/2” Height, 25’ Length – PVC Plastic Rain Gutter for Cars, Vans, and RVs, Easy to...

Part of the problem is that people don't understand the reliability of a diesel generator. They go and buy a cheap Home Depot gasoline generator, fill it up, test run it, then let is sit for several years, and wonder why it won't start anymore. All of the smaller MEP generators (802, 531A, 16D)...

Looks great. If possible, list the measurement of the flange detent O.D.

Bad u joint, and possibly lose differential. My differential (215000 miles) is somewhat lose, and makes a klunk way louder than that. No major problem so far. Someday I will replace it and rebuild the old one. Use the TM to get the correct part number for the u-joint.

Somewhere, somehow your fuel solenoid wire is getting power from the alternator, on the downstream side of the switch. Does anyone have the wiring diagram for this?

Roof rack reference if anyone needs it. This came on a disc that came with my helmet rop.

Looking at the tables, stainless steel and aluminum might be a cause for concern. BUT.... Having been a ham radio operator for 40+ years, all my aluminum antennas have always been put together with 316 stainless steel bolts and hardware. I also used to use NoCorrode paste with the connections...

Good looking rack & set up. Here is my home brew version made from aluminum unistrut, aluminum channel, and stainless hardware.. The front part is a 150 watt PV panel. Total cost was way lower than the McClarin rack.

I have been running Prestone Command SCA precharged purple anti freeze since as far back as I remember. My 1995 6.5 now has over 200K miles, with the original water pump. The newer bottles even state Detroit Diesel Certified. I also run a Wix coolant filter. Prestone COMMAND Cooling System...

More questions than answers. Does it idle smooth, or is it missing on some cylinders? White smoke = unburnt fuel. Can you rev up the engine while it's running? If yes, will it run for the same amount of time at high rpm as it does at low rpm or does it die sooner? (Possible fuel problem) Will...

Just a heads up: When I replaced my boots, I observed two issues. 1. I could not pull the shaft out of the inner joint. I had to slide the boot off over the outer end of the shaft. Application of BFI did not work. That snap ring would not budge. (Scott from Southern Axle Exchange confirmed that...
