    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My truck had short pieces of paracord tied to the door strikers. I learned why. Very effective way to tie door closed when handle failure occurs :-)

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    I do want to point out in the meeting last week ALL LA parties agreed that even if the bill was not what everyone wanted, the Senator and the dmv administrators would be open to work with us again next year. Football analogy was used that we can get a few first downs even if we don't score the...

    Napa by me has the H10106 (smooth rubber outer cover) for $4.99 ft and the H10006 (different outer cover - fiber woven )for $6.29. I can probably find a buddy to give it to me lower as those are retail prices over the counter and wholesale might be 20%-30% lower but it does depend on who I get...

    When I see "wire" I assume it is crimp on fittings.

    Losing air pressure when emergency brake is on.

    Haldex makes them. Napa or any HD parts store. They are sold by # to indicate the size. Check this thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?132401-M939-brake-chamber-diaphragm-problems find thread and you tube video by acme66

    Losing air pressure when emergency brake is on.

    Spring brake chambers have 2 rubber pancakes on each side. Chambers need to be replaced or rebuilt. Do not attempt rebuild unless you know exactly what you are doing and have done air brakes like this before. Spring in chamber under pressure! Probably need to do all of them. Do the brakes...

    Parts stores will not readily know how to use those specs unless you get a counterman with gray hair and has been around long enough to read catalogs or buyers guides :-) Everyone just click keyboards nowadays..... But ask for this: Hydraulic or oil hose 3/8 non crimp or push on. This they will...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Make sure for A2 you are getting the later version from 2012. The link has all the repair and parts series from 2012 that will include the A2. The earlier ones do not cover abs or the 8.3L. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?121487-TMs-for-M939-Series-Trucks

    LOUISIANA PROPOSED NEW LAW : HB 549 Provides for Military Surplus Motor Vehicles

    Ironically, Just got a follow up email to my concerns and the detailed list of objections I gave them. They are re evaluating the matter and see my side of the coin so to speak. Lets see what they do. Hopefully today I get the compromise revised bill and can get it to them also. As always a...

    Interesting that the foaming problem comes up frequently. From my parts selling days, I know Power Steering fluid can be interchanged with Dexron as same viscosity. Many OE's use power stg oil and other half use tranny fluid. What I seem to remember is that 10w power stg oil has anti foaming...
