    Nissan Armada Springs

    That's big, high odds of breaking if you really go offroading. Should be pretty fast top end!

    Nissan Armada Springs

    Make sure you losen the a arm bushings so it will drop down as far as possible. I put mine on m998. It was difficult to get in. It will ride better but nowhere near as good as with aftermarket shocks. I have cepek adjustible and they are on setting 3 in a 0-9 range. Rides very well.

    Cv axles

    I recently replaced all. I bought 2 from summit and 2 from autozone. The ones from summit were very competitively priced. So cheap I was worried they would not be correct. I only bought two as the other part number not avaliable thru them.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I have mine balanced also. It is still rough at times. I bought centramatics but have not installed yet. I am hoping they will smooth out the ride even more.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Run the tires without runflats. It's a free upgrade...other than sweat.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I was going to use the 24v signal to operate a 24v relay to turn off 12v signal when not in use. Basically just to turn the 12v off to prevent battery drain.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Back to the swap...I managed to kill a alternator regulator and blow out a geared hub seal. I'm sure the seal is from the swap and everything is spinning faster now. I still have tc locking switch as temporary switch ran to drivers seat. I've been thinking about putting a y adapter on the...

    M998 Squeaky Body Bushings

    When you took bushings out were they cracked all the way thru? Another thought...If you are already installing bushings how much more trouble would it be to lift an inch or 2?

    M998 Squeaky Body Bushings

    What would it sound like? I've got some rattles I'm trying to track down. Would it hurt to spray lubricant if bushing isn't bad?

    Soften M1123 suspension

    I put in in all 4. I also ran with factory shocks and Cepek adjustible shocks. I cut 1 coil from all springs. If I remember correctly I would have done 1 1/2 for rear. The factory shocks are very stiff, even with softer springs. I have cepeck adjustible from 0-9, 0 is softest 9 hardest. I have...

    M998 Alternator Question

    I am finding myself in need of a good regulator. I have the kind that looks like a Starburst. This will be my second replacement. The brushes looked good previously when I had it open and I blew everything out. It worked flawlessly until it quit altogether. Now its 24.3 on or off, it has voltage...

    tip for geared hub maintenance

    Back to the geared hub. How much more trouble would it be to retorque the output nut?

    tip for geared hub maintenance

    Thank you for the information! I'm about to replace seals on hub. I just watched the YouTube video you referenced. This seems much more efficient.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    I agree. I made several assumptions that cost me $$$$. It's probably worth a sticky on the swap. We have enough information including parts lists to benefit our users. Too bad I'm not organized enough to do that sort of thing.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Update on Bowtie Overdrives: I have been unsuccessful in getting any monetary help from Bowtie Overdrives. I paid a reputable shop to install the trans purchased from Bowtie. Bowtie claims we did not follow their warranty instructions by providing line pressures and other items to make sure it...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Yesterday I made a temporary harness for the converter lockup with a on/off switch. All I can say is wow. It really does calm everything down. Makes less noise, lowers rpm and really cuts down the cooling fan cycles! I haven't had on on interstate but around 50 mph it is a dream. The engine...
