The bottom drain plug it’s easy but the fill one…it’s a tricky one…not sure what’s the right way to do it, but this is how I went about it. The issue is that a regular 3/8” Allen L wrench is too long and it’s not enough clearance for it, so I made it from two pieces, a 3/8” Allen stub and a...

Yes, I heard about that and looked on both sides of the tires, but couldn’t find anything indicating direction. I have Wrangler MTs made in 2020

Absolutely, the notches always face out, and the rim is rotated such as the notch is within 1/8” of the valves (the notches are not exactly180 degrees apart so I have to mark which is the exact location so it matches also the balancing- either the red or yellow dot combined with the high/ low...

I installed mine so they all rotate in the same direction lol…but seriously, I did try a few combinations of the arrows pattern to point two to front two to back, matched diagonally, but in the end it felt that when all four tires have the arrow pattern pointing to the front (just like in that...

YOu Of course, you guys helped me out so much, I am glad to be able to add even 0.1% to the conversation :)

The piston wells are deep and the pistons fit is extremely tight. It is already about 30% seated and I think any angular force would be negligible, and the same situation applies at the piston extraction which I also pulled it out holding it from one side and it came straight out. The...

Here is the easiest and fastest way I found to collapse the pistons to extract the old brakes pads and install new ones in minutes. I use a 1/4” bolt with 5/16” spacer nuts in order to keep the head raised from the caliper body so I can use a socket to drive it quickly. the bolt is inserted...

Yes, the brake fluid looks clear, but as you say I am doing a flush since I have to do a bleed on all 4 calipers as I am cleaning them anyway. Got new DOT5 brake fluid.

Quick update…I ended up getting the actual Wilwood brake pads (there are several manufacturers approved under the NSN) and they are a piece of art, the way are made with that solid copper backplate. Initially I thought there was only half of the front passenger side caliper that was stuck (I...

I seems that the so called non-swelling ones (perhaps the AG15? and also Kaskar?) have been discontinued and this may be another design trying to replace it? (thread from 2017 below) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/non-swelling-glow-plugs-no-longer-available.174163/ In this G503 thread...

How about these GEP18002668 glow plugs from HPG? It says: " REVISED GLOWPLUG NON-SWELLING AND LONGER TIP FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR END, ENGINEERED IN 2012 DURING P400 PRODUCTION AT AM GENERAL. HAS SPECIAL TAPERED TIP TO REDUCE SWELLING ISSUE. MADE IN GERMANY."...

Mine is a 2009 and still didn't have the transmission drain plug (some had it and some didn't that year), but it is easier than it looks to remove the cross-memeber, overall maybe a 45min-1hr oil change job without any rush and breaks for 1-2 cold ones. I ordered a new pan with the drain plug...

Thank you! I know what you are talking about, it's a non-issue now that I understand, I appreciate it!

Thank you for looking it up, I don't have that schematic, is it in one of the manuals? What and where would this (what I think maybe it means) FUEL PRESSURE X-DCR? DCR = Diesel Common Rail? And X for Extended/ External? I have the 6.5L Turbo, which I don't think it's a common rail? And...

2009 M1165A1 (REV truck)

I was under the truck and found this 4 pin cable below, hanging by the accelerator pedal not connected to anything, with the tags marked 762A, 762B, 762C, 762D: I searched all the manuals and the only mention I could find was a 762A in the 4L80E Troubleshooting Supplement, but it looks like...

Not sure what model alternator you have and here is the 200A dual-voltage alternator N1225-1 schematic & operation: From the schematic, there are two scenarios that would create the symptoms described: 1. If the 14V regulator would be driving the 15.4V, the whole stack voltage would rise to...

Thank you! I also wanted to make others aware about these parts issues and how things are worded. I only buy parts from HPG, Kascar, Mac or AMG and this seemed to be too good to be true, that's why I had to check.

If indeed the overall stack voltage stays consistently at 28.4V regardless of what the 14V mid-point is doing then here is another scenario to consider. What it appears to be happening from what I read is that while the mid-point rises to 15.4V the other battery goes down to about 13V, which...

RWH do you have any experience with ComTac Parts (also going by Wolfer-Parts) brake pads? Are they selling genuine OEM parts or Chinese copies? The have a Z-150-9841K/ 5717285-SP REV set of 4 pads for $120, while Kascar and MacMotors sell it for about $230 (also a set of 4)...
