Better work & paint than most body & fender shops!

How do we get to it? I get this when I try: o1951, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features...

No. What I used to do was to manually engage starter pinion at solenoid and put a piece of wax- like a birthday cake candle between starter pinion gear and ring gear. I would do this thru inspection port, or in some vehicles, the sheet metal cover on the lower part of the bell housing unbolted...

1. I do not like cracked stuff. You should replace the cracked starter housing. If there was enough stress to crack it- probably from lack of support bracket, it is probably distorted. Misalignment from distorted housing may be the problem. It don't take long to chew up the ring gear. 2. Sounds...

For you- Permatex Fast Orange by Locktite corp. Buy the 128 oz container with the pump dispenser. I use it all the time to clean up - removes paint, crud from working under vehicle, you name it. For hardened paint, spray foam, etc. put it on, let it set a while, then rub it with something like...

Sounds like not enough coolant flow was causing overheating. Check belt for wear, and bearings on everything belt driven. If you see an overheat starting, put heater on high, grin and bear it. Often extra cooling of heater is enough to prevent an overheat. Hot battery is usually caused by an...

Inquiring minds gotta know. You said cannot put gasoline in tank because vehicle is going into a museum. If it is not going to be run, as long as it looks good, why rebuild and repair carb, tune up engine....? The engine could have no compression, be seized- who cares as long as it looks nice.

nopicsand SOUND. I wanna hear that 4 banger.

Hmm - 24 volts and water- :jumpin:

That is the way it should look, not flawless, and better than factory. It should have some "personalization" to show it is the real deal, and saw service, that it did not sit in a crate from build day to auction day.

Yes, I envy you. Came in looking like something dragged out of a junk yard, ready for China, and now looks factory, showing signs of very light service.

Looks Great! Just enough waffles and dents in the bed to let people know it has seen service.8) I do not remember any equipped with the 3 blade fan.

The purpose of the hole is to allow a small amount of coolant to pass when the thermostat is closed. That way, hot water does not get trapped in the engine, and reaches the thermostat bulb. Make sure you put thermostat in with bulb facing engine so it can "see" coolant. If you put it on...

The metal on older radiators was much thicker than newer stuff. I would take it to a good radiator shop and ask them what they can do. I have taken old radiators in with good results. On occasion, they tell me they had to close off a tube or 2, but with a clean radiator, I will not have a...

Lookin Good!

Don't want to put cold water on idea, but I believe generator engines have tapered shafts.

Glad you caught that. Leaking injectors can dilute engine oil and cause problems.

Mark, I have been following from beginning and am confused. You say 6 NEW injectors, but what you got appears to be well used. "Opened the first box, and the nozzle was covered in varnish. It did not pop, I took it apart and soaked it in carburetor cleaner. Had a hard time getting the needle...

Thank you for that post. Now we know accident not caused by a failure of the vehicle components, or by driver inattention or error. Looks like a reckless driver hit the HMMWV, forcing it into guardrail. I believe there are many civilian vehicles that would have fared no better under these...

Depends on which Dot you pick. If 5, got to get all the 3 out. If you choose synthetic 3&4, manufacturer says it mixes with regular 3 and regular 4, so I would just flush the best I could. I want all the 3 I can get out for corrosion issues and higher boiling point.
