Just started raining here, and I'm supposed to go help my ex wife move to a different apartment. She's moving into a 4th floor apartment, so 3 flights of stairs with her furniture. I'd rather be mowing the grass.

Every definition I can find online just says the smaller of two gears. It doesn't specify it by any applications. The definition I find for spur gears is gears that are on parallel shafts. According to that, it can be both a pinion gear AND a spur gear in this application.

Voltage regulation is taken care of by the alternator. Depending on what type of loads we're talking about, there are a couple different ways to balance them and have 12V out of them. Easiest way is a battery balancer plus a 24/12V converter. Examples below Balancer. This one places a...

Pinion Gear – A pinion is the smaller of two meshed gears in an assembly. Pinions can be either spur or helical type gears, and be either the driving or driven gear, depending on the application. Pinion gears are used in many different types of gearing systems such as ring and pinion or rack and...

If it wasn't a 20 amp breaker to begin with, you don't want to change it to that. The internal wires are typically sized to the breaker, so if you oversize the breaker you may burn up the wires through overloading the circuit. Depending on the type of breaker, most of them can handle startup...

There is a bit of play in the output flange. There really isn't anything you can do about it because of how short the it is coming out of the differential. It's not uncommon to have brake noise in these. The scratching isn't good though. Might be a bad caliper if water got into the system, as...

The N3118 is for the 400 amp alternator, not the 200 amp, so no, you can't use it on the 200. The 200 amp is considered the go to for the HMMWV. The 400 amp is only used for high power applications, like radio shelter carrier trucks or SECM trucks with things like electrical air compressor...

So looks like someone was ejected from the vehicle and then the truck caused an accident. News article doesn't go into details, but a secondhand account posted on facecrook about what really happened is posted below News article that was linked about it KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The Knox...

Headlights should go through the dimmer switch, which according to your diagram is pin "M" Pin "H" service tail lights should also be the same if I am not mistaken. Pin "L" is labeled "parking lights" which I think is either the marker lights or front running lights, or something like that...

Call your local tire shops that do alignments. I know some of the Les Schwab stores around here can do it, but not all of them have the correct equipment. Also see if there are any 4WD shops around, as most of them can. Most should have H1 Hummer in the system to use for reference.

Can't answer that directly, but when I changed out my A2 idler arm for a moog upgraded version, the moog has the spacers attached to the idler arm, not a separate piece. My A2 idler arm was an angled piece that didn't require spacers. The bolts in the kit are also a slightly larger size than...

Pictures of the spare tire holder and the brackets on the side will probably get you a lot more info than just the short description. There are a couple different versions of the spare tire mount, but they aren't terribly uncommon. The mount on the side could be anything from CIPS to radio...

It's generally considered a bad idea to modify wheels in any way unless you are a professional engineer. I doubt just drilling the hole out round would cause an issue, but way too much liability if a wheel fails for me to say it's a good idea. Just a thought, but take the spare with you...

I haven't ever heard of anyone doing it. Are yours leaking or something else wrong with them that you can't just use what it's designed for?

I'll also confirm the 5X2 works great. I run the cord plug out the back of the seat, and the plug end sits by the lower seat belt mount just by the door. Completely out of the way, and no new holes in the truck.

compare pricing between true sine wave inverters and modified sine wave. Also a huge difference in cost, same as going between small gasoline generators and larger ones. As for motors and clean power, they don't care much. Electronics and radios care about clean power, but motors, heaters...

Some points to think about below. So it's actually an alternator, not a generator. A generator is happy to pull 80% or higher load all day long no problems. An alternator won't be happy that high, and is much more likely to fail if operated under constant heavy loads for extended periods...

I forget if I called them or they called me, but I had a good conversation with one of the owners I think about the tires and shipping options and whatnot. Will definitely buy from them again when I need more tires.

on a related note: how does the air filter restriction gauge look in the dash? It could be something as simple as the air filter partially plugged up or the mushroom cap over the air intake pushed down a little too far, restricting air into the engine. edit: I've also heard of things like shop...

The only times I see smoke in my truck are heavy acceleration or very heavy load, like trying to maintain speed while driving over a mountain pass. If you don't see smoke other than acceleration or extremely heavy loads, then don't stress it.
