    What Causes Fuel Tank Collapse?

    there is an anti-roll over valve that the vent line connects too, you should replace that and blow the vent line out with compressed air as well, the vent filter you can pull off and just see if you can blow through it.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    almost every customer and trucker who shows up here has a winch so bound up they are forced to pay it out electrically, the truckers are the worst as there lone battery is almost always 50%, so using all his battery power to just pay it out is a lesson in futility. what I learned many years ago...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    yep, didn’t want to say anything because someone gets pissy…electric winches have a duty cycle, paying out 60ft or more of rope would leave you possibly screwed, in more than one way, I’m certain I’m wrong though, but what the heck.

    Nu to you Diesile in the tank

    Disassemble geared hubs

    LOL, you’re just looking for an argument, not interested…but you’re an expert on everything now that someone gave you mod access. When a customer calls my shop and is looking for this part, and they do, they ask for the upper spur gear, that’s it…plain and simple, no one in 25yrs has asked for...

    Disassemble geared hubs

    A quick trip to the TM will reveal it’s referred to as “upper spur gear” and it always has been…at least it has in the 25yrs I’ve worked on them,.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    a lot Of what the military does for fluids is for commonality of fluids, take the PS system, you can flush the ATF out and use PS fluid, ATF does suffer from cavitation in extreme use situations. My FMTV uses 15-W40 for transmission fluid! Yes…the Allison transmission actually uses engine oil...

    M1165a1 power steering and overheating

    im curious how you determined it’s the correct belt…and tight enough. The wrong belt is only 1in longer, but has some serious side effects.

    What exactly is this on the + bus terminal? Silicone?

    You would be well advised to keep the Silicone on the lug connections, there is a lot of amps running through them and having them exposed where something metal could possibly come in contact with them would create quite a mess. 3-5 times a week I remove the Slave connector power lead on this...

    Gauge lights

    Most early trucks including A2 used a clear incandescent bulb and the color comes from the dash cap color, you can get green, red, blue and clear…later model trucks upgrade to colored LED and clear dash bulb cap. If you want white light? Go to clear lens with clear LED, we used to drill holes in...
