    That hose loop (blue circle), If I Recall Correctly, is the supply and return fuel lines for the optional Arctic Heater. Just replace that loop of hose so it wont leak. Circled in green are the infamous "Check Valves" that are famous for gumming up and sticking closed causing fuel starvation...

    M1097A2 w/4L80E transfer case capacity?

    Thats weird but to my knowledge all transfer cases get filled to the fill hole and no higher for obvious reasons. Being on a level surface is required. take a long level to your trailer...front to back AND side to side... just in case

    M1097A2 w/4L80E transfer case capacity?

    Make sure you are parked on a flat surface. Fill till it reaches the edge of the fill hole and a little will trickle out. That's full.

    Nice rig! Emissions is no big deal if it doesnt blow black smoke. Just an opacity test. Mine always passes Your AC condenser units are in the rear fenders . Not on top of the radiator. That is your engine oil and trans fluid cooler over the radiator. You can usually tilt it up or swing it to the...

    M1165 Rear AC Condenser Bracket?

    That crude rear bracket holds the rear of the condenser unit up. The condenser unit has a strip of spring steel that just slips over that crossbar. Its hard to describe and impossible to photograph it in place. In this pic the spring steel sheet metal with the green dot just slides up over...

    TPS may need to be adjusted. There is a procedure in the 4 speed transmission handbook that involves taking voltage readings at different throttle positions. I dont have my book handy at the moment though. Be careful adjusting the brake switch. There is half a hair sweet spot between the...

    Fan Clutch Repair

    mounted. But if it moves (about 1/8") when you apply air pressure to it try to spin it by hand. That means it is not stuck and you dont need to smack it. The problem is in the disengagement system Check out this video from Black Dog Customs. Understanding your HMMWV/Humvee Cooling System | How...

    They will work for both. Hard strikers and soft wire catches. I switch between the two all the time. You can just use 5/16 bolts and washers just as well but the plates are way easier to adjust

    Yikes. You will have to pull the whole unit out opening the freon system. That plastic shell has the structural strength of an ice cream cone. The system doesnt need that temp switch to run. You can just plug those two wires together like in my pic. I dont remember that ground going inside...
