That's not grease, Just dust and brake dust. It doesn't like to come off though, had to wash my hands 3 times before I felt safe touching anything in the house, and that was so I could go take a shower.

Last week I replaced the rear brakes, then took it to an event over the weekend. On the way home I started hearing noise from the front. Of course it's 50 miles from home, almost as far as the last time it happened. Crawled under, and found the driver's side brake caliper mounting bracket had...

I would say that the Delco alternator is a good option for an older truck, the only caveat being you should still put in some type of battery balancer system, or at least rotate them every month in order to keep them equalized. it is a simple, easily available alternator with a very high level...

My M1123 scales at 7k with troop seats, Red Dot aircon, and some tools and tire chains in the rear seat footwells. With the BEOD on it and a bunch of tools/parts I scale at about 9500 lbs. I still have the heavy spring kit from the Marine Armor Kit installed. A couple of the guys around here...

I park mine on the driver's side. With lots of Rain-X on the windshield, having it parked on the driver's side above my line of sight keeps it from dripping/streaming down in front of my eyes.

Just for reference, when a battery is at 12.2V it's basically dead for starting purposes. 12.6 is considered a full charge, and anything less than that will be hard on the starting system as the starter motor will try to draw more amps with lower voltage.

Here is a pretty good list http://www.hummerknowledgebase.com/parts/list/005.html

It really depends on the age and model of the HMMWV. As well as running condition. An earlier model you might get for under$10k before taxes/fees in running condition. A non-running early truck might be $5-7k A newer truck (6.5NA and 4 speed) can be anywhere from $12-20k. An even newer truck...

a lot of variables having to do with location, market conditions, licensing, etc. For a 2 man cab setup and licensed as on road, I would venture to say somewhere between $10-15k as a ballpark.

Are they load range "D" or "E" How much does your truck weigh? What is the weight on the front axle and the rear axle? Are you driving it on the highway, around town, or off road? What speeds are you expecting to hit as your maximum? There are a lot of variables that make up what pressure you...

The fuel cap fully seals the fill tube opening when tightened down. If you leave the cap off, all you are doing is allowing the fuel tank to be equal to atmospheric pressure, meaning you're letting air into the tank to take the place of the fuel being sucked out of the tank. From how short of a...

If it was a gas lawnmower I would say the symptoms exactly describe a plugged/malfunctioning fuel tank vent, and the unit is starving for fuel as it builds up suction. Does it still do it if you remove the fuel cap?

When vehicles go through reset it is common for them to replace the data plate with a new one at the depot.

I thought it was primarily that petroleum eats natural rubbers, but the majority of rubber we use these days is synthetic based, not natural, so not affected by it. Otherwise, wouldn't all of our tires be disintegrating from being in contact with a freshly paved/sealed roadway? I'd imagine it...

i was going off of remembered information, so thanks for the correction.

I like to do the coating of grease on the rim pieces as well. A lot of people say it's to help hold the o-ring in place when you are tightening the rm down, but my thought is that the grease will let the o-ring slip into the groove if it is out of location by a little bit. As long as the spot...

for centramatics they say it will balance out up to 12 oz of weight. Of course, the closer you are to balanced to begin with, the smoother the ride will be because while the centramatics do an awesome job, every little bit still helps.

No, A2 and newer have 12k shafts, which are incompatible with the earlier shafts. The difference is in the size of the splines in the input gear in the hub. You would have to replace that gear for it to work.

As others have said, if you aren't airing down, then it shouldn't matter if they are there or not. But it does mean that you will need to verify air pressure often, because if for some reason you lose air pressure, there is nothing to keep the bead from coming off the rim. TrailWorthyFab...

So a fully charged 12V battery is above 12.6V. at 12.5V it would be 80-90% charged. A battery at 12.1V would be about 35-50% charged. When batteries are cold, they also lose starting capacity. At freezing temps, a battery has at best is 80% of it's original capacity available. So in other...
