No reason why those would not work. I'm running group 24 AGM for almost 5 years now and no issues. They will bolt down with the original hold down bracket as well with no modifications, but if you get antsy about it you can always cut some lumber to go around them so they can't shift. Going...

The black smoke out the exhaust to me says unburned fuel. First things I would check are to look at the air filter restriction gauge on the dash and see if it shows any restriction. Even if it doesn't, I would double check that the air filter isn't filthy dirty, and that the mushroom cap over...

I've managed to replace my serpentine belt several times by just leaning over the top of the truck and using body weight to push down on the belt where it goes under the top idler pulley on the driver's side, and just slip it off. It doesn't work on every truck, but I've done it on a couple and...

We ended up with my HMMWV, 2 900 series 5 tons, and one LMTV. The parade organizers were pretty stoked having the trucks in the parade.

second picture is the vent for the fuel tank. It's supposed to look like that; it's just a standard type fuel filter to keep dust and dirt from getting into the system.

glad to help out. I believe that strap was also loose on my truck when I received it, so another common failure location.

plus the difference between 12 and 24V, so those 195 and 125 amp alternators would be the equivalent of about 60 and 100 amp in 24v The only real difference is the aircon on the HMMWV has electric fans for the condensers, where civilian vehicles typically have it as part of the cooling stack...

Starter motor not turning and the alternator are 2 different things entirely. The truck will start and run without any alternator in it at all, and has zero effect on how well it starts. The 200 amp alternator is still massive overkill for the power requirements of these trucks. Your standard...

max speed 50 and high RPMs is in limp mode and not shifting at all (stuck in 2nd gear) There is also a circuit breaker behind the battery box with a button that sticks out. Try pushing in button and seeing if that changes anything. Use meter to check and see if you have 12V both into and out...

All A2 trucks SHOULD have 12k halfshafts and whatnot. The way they labeled the parts was confusing. The A2 trucks all have suspension rated for 10k lbs, but the halfshafts are labeled as 12k. Wheras the A0/A1 trucks are rated 7.7k, or a heavy variant (M1097 series) is rated 10k, but all had...

When mine were stuck, it was alternating heat and penetrating oil, followed by wrenching on it. Les Schwab tried to do it, using heat, and it didn't break free, but after I got home the heat and oil (while it's still hot so it sucks the oil in while it cools, and also provides some thermal...

6.5 turbo and 4 speed will run the same RPMs at 70 as the old 6.2 3 speeds did at 55, their max top sustained speed. There should be no issues with doing 70 in it until it's time to stop again for fuel. 6.5 non turbo 4 speed will do about 78 at the same RPMs. I've hit over 70 a few times in my...

Just a reminder, this weekend is the Pacific NorthWest rally in McCleary WA Only things to note are that Friday night I'll be providing about 10 lbs of beef in Korean marinade and rice, so anyone that wants to contribute to dinner that night knows what it is for appropriate side dishes The...

tire exploding from age is entirely preventable. Tire being underinflated for the weight is also a common contributing factor (just ask Ford how that went for them) Tires with guaranteed date code of 2018 or newer (mine were 2019 when ordered several years ago, so likely would get newer than...

if going aftermarket buy from a large store like summit, rock auto, or physical parts store that sells them and has lifetime warranty. Buying from ebay/amazon or other unknown or questionable sources is usually throwing money down the drain.

I believe the uniforms were the Friends of Willy and Joe group. They hit a lot of parades and events around here https://www.angelfire.com/wa2/FJ6/Friends.html

depending on what the leak is from, you may be able to get a repair kit for it and do the rebuild yourself. Not all that complicated if you're halfway decent at following instructions or are mechanically inclined. I think the rebuild kits are in the $50 or so range, where the entire caliper...

400 amp is massive overkill, very heavy, bulky, expensive to get a regulator for, and takes up a lot of space in the engine bay. There are a lot of repairs/maintenance you can do working around the 200 amp that you have to pull the 400 amp out of the truck in order to accomplish.

albeit slight, you're also raising the center of gravity slightly by removing the weight at the wheels. Not a big issue unless you're spending a lot of time playing off road doing crawling, but everything else the reduced unsprung mass is a major benefit. At $500 each corner (your budget you...

most of our local coordination has been through facecrook the past few years. Parade appears to be 4pm, and lineup in front of the Centralia Post Office, but I don't know what time you are supposed to line up.
