    No wonder I lost brake line pressure today

    I am sure I will get yelled at for asking but do you have any idea on the after market part number or whatnot? I installed my own rigid tube but apparently the wrong flare. I would prefer a flexible line and of course one that is the correct flare that I don't have to over tighten to stop from...

    Does anyone know what type of flare is on the brake lines? This was my first brake line bend and install so its my first time learning about the different types of flares and tubes. I got the only type available to me which was coated steel but I have had to really tighten it and it still...

    Great - thank you, oh and by the way I see that your signature says "lots of parts," do you have an ebaa page or anything for those? Thank you

    Is this filter supposed to be capped off or directed someplace else? Based off the stained area around it and even up on the wall, it seems like it spits up fuel???

    I have changed all fluids and replaced the filters. From the heated hubs to the power steering. Thank you

    DREDnot I connected the largest of the three wires to the rear battery's positive (+) post, following DREDnot's recommendation. This action successfully enabled the transmission to shift gears. Before connecting this wire, the transmission exhibited loud noises and likely remained stuck in a...

    Appreciate the reply, I haven't noticed any lights so I will have to make sure I check. That wire was corroded so I might have to peel it WAY back to see if there's any good metal in there. Thank you.

    Took the truck for a spin. It seemed as if it was shifting just fine, drive it a bit, mostly slow on the back road and doing some turns. Then after heading back home, it seemed as if it didn’t want to shift so I went home and parked it. The red button doesn’t really move at all when I press it...

    Copy that, I found the red button, wired up the bigger wire to the battery and (knock on wood), the transmission is working! Now, I'll need to work on cleaning up the wires to remove corrosion. As well as proper bleeding of brakes and the cooling system. Seems as if my power steering is...

    Hi, I did put in a new thermostat (it was missing). With the engine running for a bit, the gauge does get up to about 160 and it stays there... did you mean the red button is someplace near the batteries? I see the rope in both pictures but I don't remember seeing any red button. I see the...

    HMMWV in limp mode no trans light

    Hi, I could have the same issue... I had some wires cut. When you stated "fat wire #290 to back battery +" did you mean... a. that cable back to the battery (+) on the whole 24v system? b. that cable back to the BACK (rear of truck) battery (+) Thank you, David

    tranny limp mode? Seems as if the truck is in limp mode. I don't get any transmission flashes and there were some smaller wires that were cut in the battery box but not connected to anything. I have looked through the TMs and whatever I did find, I couldn't make heads or tails out of it and...

    Hi, I took the coolant cap off, tank was filled with coolant, started the truck, let it run hoping to see it suck some coolant around through the engine. Didn't see it suck any from the tank but eventually started to see a little steam coming from the tank opening and the small hose closest to...

    Thx for the info. Question - the yard said fluids were drained so I bought enough fluids for all systems including the coolant but after putting some in, I still have some left... Is there something I am to do to get the coolant to flow to all places it needs to go? I added it through the fill...
