    Tie rod ends too tight?!

    I know ball joints and pitman arm/idler arm and center link are different. I don't like how it is exposed past the nut. But in reality, It is not going anywhere and you could always bend the cotter pin ends down to engage the castle nut U shaped. I don't think that comes from over tightening as...

    blew fan clutch hose

    I would concur to make a crimped hose or get the oe with the reusable fittings with the proper hydraulic hose which is typically double walled and fiber reinforced. The elbow might be the wrong one also if using the oe hose. What is on the Cadillac valve end?

    Re-dye Seat Covers

    be very gentle with the round clips that hold the cover to the frame. They rust and rather thin to begin with. They are an old British design like off Austin and Mg's. Got a huge run around when I tried to source OE. 86humv was able to graciously help with some.

    Three quick Newbie questions

    Make sure you get a crystal clear shipping quote/price from Eastern before paying. Also expect any refunds for whatever reason to be a credit and no refund even if they are out of stock and their fault. FYI, YMMV

    Calling on all Michigan Historic Military Vehicle Owners

    Pretty sure Mich is like every other state that the persons buying the plate are charged an additional fee for that privilege and pay the actual cost plus willingly. Also most states make money off personalized or vanity plates and that is why among many other reasons they do it. Some non...

    MTS II/ Movement Tracking System

    Did you get one of the complete systems in the hardigg cases from epay? I have picked up from a different auction the DRS monitor/cpu ( supposed to be missing the hard drive? Not sure on caddy) and the keyboard. I have not disassembled yet to investigate. How do you tell the difference in...

    Tire Paint Removal

    Spray Brake Cleaner and some scrubbing. I have had some tires like that cleaned up. Whatever residue remains can be painted with "tire Black". That looks like a paint marker which has a wax / crayola type texture with paint mixed in. Does not look like rattle can.

    Hmmwv eating through power steering pumps

    My thought is a problem in the stg gear box. No other components in the system can cause the lock issue or turning right stiffness. Internals probably shot.

    Govplanet HMMWV Auctions ?

    roughly 4000 have been sold through GP. I am of the opinion that we are on the downslope of supply. Yes, not at the end like the M939 5 tons or M101 trailers which hardly trickle out anymore. There is for sure more in the pipeline but definitely shrinking. I look at 2 large armories by me and...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Ah, That makes sense on the ceramic connector. I had sorta thought that because the At1011 set up I have on the Harris base with the tilt adapter just has a screw on the bottom and had a broken off ring terminal. No coaxial or bnc or tnc connections. I tried to hunt down a Harris Rf-382 tm or...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Very interesting stuff there :-) The tower is made differently than all the ones (20) I have. The thinner side is not angled like mine and the wider side looks much wider and I see 4 holes for some attachment on the side? Also the stiffener in the middle is not angled. Reinforcement is also...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Is that large hole in the back right corner top of fender? Btw, The tm shows a hole for the cabling for the Rf-382 there if so. Don't recognize the other patterns ? and looks like 2 plugs have also been installed in pic 1
