    Spider box promo

    One E6 NCOIC in a clinic I worked in Augsburg used to say "Subject to change" any time a policy was noted or suggested. It was like that tag line in the morning brief on Hill Street Blues. "Be careful out there." We'd get our morning brief, order of the day, followed by "subject to change."...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I finished the ten rounds, taking the truck for a short drive a couple days, drained and filled five more times until water came out ALMOST clear, finally said the heck with it (I AM running your system by the way), rust color’s coming back again, but I DO have several bottles of Prestone...

    Spider box promo

    Guess I'm still an Irish schoolboy at heart poking the monsigneur in the eye for a laugh from time to time. I almost always say "evil auction site", and "that jungle site" for Jeff "Dr. Evil" Bozos' site. All in good fun.

    What do I need to remount hmmwv tires with the beadlock and runflats?

    tires are bidirectional. you COULD swap 'em around until one set's aimed arrow down, another arrow up (from POV looking at the tread from the front of the truck). seals need to be replaced. Nuts are cheap. Self-locking, you can buy a bag of 100 off the evil auction site (or jungle site) for...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yesterday/today: Had the ONE warning label, but could SWEAR I also had one with either and RF or lightning bolt symbol around here somewhere, but can't find it - if it ever existed. IS there another sticker/decal?

    998 6.2L Fan Clutch/Overheating Issue

    Measure the resistance on the CV. IRC it’s about 75 Ohms. (it’s in the manuals) Easy to do even with a $5 VOM from Harbor Freight.

    Completely stumped. Will not cold start and put all new parts on it.

    Wait, wait, I know this one. A priest, a rabbi and a mullah drive a HMMWV to - one INTO - a bar...

    Completely stumped. Will not cold start and put all new parts on it.

    Look around on the evil auction site, and the various HMMWV groups on fakebook where it’s not uncommon to find the set (box plus sender) for under $400. Easier to find around $500, if they’re asking much more than that, keep looking. I paid $490 shipped about 2-1/2 years ago - yes, it fixed...

    Electrician run around

    lawyers and liability and experience. I’ve had similar experiences over the years and understand the thought processes. When a professional does a job, he’s responsible for every detail. He also may have different ways of running/stringing/bundling wires which, while your method will work...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I’ve got a mini-still (from Rebel Brewer’s about ten years back... which handed records over to BATFe who sent me a note warning it’s not to be used for distilling spirits... something about George Washington fielding an army larger than his Revolutionary War army against farmers and home...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I changed out the power steering pump and harmonic balancer a couple weeks back; while I had the cooling stack out I got a good look inside the radiator. Looks like one of those magic moon gardens I had as a kid but only white crystals. I thought I’d treated that two years ago, flushed the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took mine out for a ride yesterday, local muscle car/collector car meetup in the parking lot by a Starbucks and a Roy Rogers restaurant, been going on for years. Found a spot next to two other HMMWVs, one owned by “Melvin” and another I have no idea who it belonged to; there was a CUCV too but...

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    This might help: "Chevy GMC 6.2L 6.5L Diesel Engine Fuel System Diagnosis Service Manual Nov. 1992" I got it from a guy on the evil auction site, I've scanned it as a PDF but it's YUGE, about 2 mB and I've tried uploading it to the new manuals section several times without success. Shoot me...

    New Ride

    Nice thing about this hobby is, you can keep it as stock as you like, jazz it up to your heart and wallet’s (and spouse’s content, as the case may be) or turn it back to as close to stock as suits your fancy. Welcome to the madness. Enjoy. Norm

    How to fix Blowby

    Not even sure you'd need to get them "red hot." I once owned a 1975 Norton 850 Commando. Brits used a solid copper head gasket. Local shop annealed this when replacing a worn out valve lifter. A year later I put in a set of Silicon-bronze valve guides, lapped the valves, and annealed the...
