    a question about caulking seams on a hmmwv....

    Can also buy catalyzed seam sealer, which can be put on thicker, but will still dry and stay flexible . 3M makes it . Use 3m panel bonding adhesive to glue Aluminum or steel patches over holes, then cover with seam sealer .

    How much would you tow with this?

    I agree , the pintle hitch is attatched to the same area , so it has to be strong in that area . I question how or where you hook up the saftey chains . If you wanted to get anal , you could fasten some short chains to the frame , then hook you saftey chains to them while towing .

    Brakes Won't Release After First Application

    I have had this happen with air and dirt in the master cylinder also . I am taking a guess if it was the airpack all 3 axles would be locked up . Look into the part of the master that runs the rear axle . I have had rust in the compensation port cause this problem .

    Saw a mep003 sell on GSAast week for $800 , looked good in the one pic they had on GSA . I go preview it , it had a smashed control panel . Chances are the guy that got it did not have any idea .

    Tire Safety 14x20

    That is why all the A3's at GL with flat tires bring the least amount of money . Most of us that have been doing this a while would have put a different tire on the truck as soon as we got out of the gate , especially being a steer tire . . You learned a valuable lesson and got lucky .

    3m Panel Bond instead of welding?
