Hmmmm, it took air once, but not now. :unsure: Sometimes the mechanic uses more grease than is necessary, and it might have liquified on a hot day and settled in the valve opening, but seems like 100psi would push it aside. 🤷‍♂️ Your compressor is making at least that much pressure right...

When you say you "got" the trailer, do you mean you got it from a milsurp auction or private party? I reassembled the wheels on my M1165 and had this problem, but it was because the PVC beadlock had shifted and blocked the valve stem inside the tire. Taking a two-piece wheel apart with any...

Use the wiper circuit fuse to power a relay (and no more) to switch the 12v bus you're adding.

I've abandoned the idea it has anything to do with the electrical load inside the switch- there isn't much 'load' for the neutral safety switch that current technology can't overcome. I think it's more an issue of switch quality and tolerance stacking- loose tolerances inside cause electrical...

I wish someone had a video of the company staff meeting at AMG when it was announced they wanted to make the HMMWV a civilian vehicle... Probably never see a herd of engineers who suddenly had to leave for an important phone call move so fast.

I would try again with new (or another batch of) o-rings. I had one of four of my 12-bolt wheels that, after assembly, still leaked. I had the foresight to buy five o-rings for four wheels, so I swapped the spare one in and it's been fine ever since. Any shop you take it to is going to do the...

Well, I really don't know what to call it exactly. It's a parking lot with a collection of USN and USMC armored vehicles, mostly HMMWVs. My guess is they're awaiting demil to get all the armor off. Some don't look so good, minor collision damage and/or fuel tanks open to the air, one or two...

A couple more pictures from my walk through the HMMWV junkyard on base. First is this dash layout- looks very OEM and not a hack-job. You might know about this - I did not. It's a dogleg off the HVAC duct to get air down near the driver's feet.

Seems I parked a little too close to the local car show. EDIT to add: They posted a video of the event, the only two mil vehicles appear at 2:37

I crawled under mine after work with that very intention, took a look at the work involved, calculated :unsure: the time it would take me between then and dinner, and put the tools away. 🤨

All I see so far is the missing knob on the panel and that hose being out of whack- well, and there's no battery.

It's Item# 9961343 if you can look it up - I think you still can even though it's sold.

Won an 802A and arranging shipping. I'll have a lot of questions once I start troubleshooting this, but for now... What is happening here? So it sold as a non-runner. Not sure how hard they tried, dude looks like he's had a rough day in the video. 14.4 hours, looks good inside and seems...

I waited to hear from anyone with a ECV truck that had taken the shocks off and tried it without. Since nobody replied, I slid out after church and dropped all four. Easy job - no jacking - took about and hour. Once I cleaned up the tools I drove it about 10 miles to some trails to see how...

I drove back over to the other base to get some better pictures. None had front winches and none had spare tire carriers. Several had rear winches. I have no idea what this gauge is: Some of the turrets have one of these glued to the inside:

Being both a stickler and mildly OCD, I'm going to correct you that you "may" not drive it until the GP sends you the SF97, and even then you may not drive it until it's properly titled and registered. You can drive it any time you like. ;) In any event, sorry to hear about the find in the...

Thanks, I will give that a try. A web search for the Cepek shocks came up empty. Perhaps they don't make them anymore? Link to a supplier?

I read both threads. Superfluous as in superfluous to my application, not necessarily yours. ;) I'm at work so I cannot go look at the suspension, and I don't have enough tech knowledge to know off the top of my head, but can I just unbolt the bottom of the shocks and drive around like that a...

Has anyone run the Cepek shocks with stock springs in an ECV truck? Or have an educated opinion on that setup? I've read through both threads, but for what I want there's a lot of superfluous information. I don't want a lift and the truck seems pretty level already. Last week I was on a...

Should fit three or four 40mm ammo cans.
