Its against federal emissions standards and equally or more importantly why would anyone want to call even more attention to our vehicles? It makes it harder on everyone when jackwads do stupid things.
Question: What is up with the windshield glass? My other Hummer and H1 have laminated glass as one would expect. This one has laminated glass but seems it has a plastic coating on the glass which is dull and clouding in places. It is on the surface of the glass not in the laminated center...
I will get photos this weekend. Its a M1025, I started a thread today about it. Mostly all there, rolling, braking, steering. Brand new 6.5 that wont start due to low compression. I have the glow plugs out and a little MMO in each cylinder to see if that has any effect.
A new project for me! (Need that like another hole in my head). Found a not so nice M1025, less top and other parts for a price I couldn't refuse. Partially disassembled but about everything included to put it back together.
Installed is a brand new 6.5L, never run. And there in lies the...
Ouch! I ask the next question with no disrespect: Have you been taught or read up on how to drive up nasty obstacles with a Torsen diff? Also the 40 inch tires are probably adding to the problem.
Tie down points. You secure a vehicle to a flat surface (rail car, trailer or roll back) by attaching to something that is un-sprung weight. This is true for all vehicles with suspension. Tying down at the bumper loops is not good as the suspension compresses even more due to jostling over bumps...

H1, comfortable (very), quiet (fairly), lots of creature comforts, doesn't really turn any heads...
The problem with Maaco (and Earl Schieb before them) wasn't really the painting, it was the prep, or the lack of it. Ive gotten great paintjobs out of them by doing all the prep myself, which includes stripping off all you can that you don't want painted, sanding, filling and more sanding as...
Have you tried simply cleaning all the points on the relays. Overcharging usually occurs when the points of the "voltage cutout relay" stick together. This relay gets the most abuse as it is constantly opening and closing. The contacts are closed when nothing is going on and when the voltage of...
Spare us the California bashing. We have pretty good access to registering MVs here. Ive been enjoying them since 1968. Had the first privately owned and street licensed Gamma Goat, dozens of 2 1/2 and 5 tonners and who knows how many jeeps. Some guys I know are registering GP HMMVVs.
