    M1165

    use a 13mm or1/2in deep dish socket through the oil filler hole…the bolts do take a dab of red locktite. use a mirror to line up the holes, use the generator pulley nut to rotate the crank while you look through the mirror to line up the hole. Pull the generator pulley nut towards you to rotate...

    Straighten me out

    The GVW is 10.3, the halfshafts and geared hubs are effectively 12k, they won’t fit on an m998, or what would be a 7700 or 10k truck. calipers are no diff rotors are 12in vented rotors pads are also specific to the 12in vented rotor

    LOL, clearly you’ve never been in the military or ever sling loaded anything from a helicopter, just happened To be my old job….we sling loaded Hmmwv’s without a bumper noob, the term airlift bumper was something made up by some noob. Army had rear bumpers, USMC did not…maybe you go read a TM.

    Algae in the fuel tank

    why not remove 5 screws and look into the tank? you get by far a better visual removing the sender, and your talking about algae in the fuel, it’s liquid, it’s in the fuel…like aglae in a pool, it has to be treat wherever the fuel was present.

    This was a run away truck due to ebrake failure, tree won the contest, a bumper property installed would have negated the damage.

    ignorance Is bliss…you have clearly never seen what other vehicles look like after they have struck the back of bumper on an H1 or hmmwv, other than some paint missing on the hmmwv bumper, the cars are generally totalled. but damn, what would I know,,,good luck bud,

    excellent, certainly glad you know where, when and how this accident will happen, but based on that response, this will only happen to someone who uses it as a daily driver? LOL….OK, carry on.

    Algae in the fuel tank

    This is what out of control Algae looks like, this is essentially tar, it’s in the tank, fuel lines, tank sock, pickup tubes, lift pump, filter, filter housing, fuel line, injection pump…solution was, everything listed was replaced. The pump in this truck was essentially a brand new 6277...

    M1165

    I’ve installed hundreds of pumps I think, every pump I’ve ever installed is set the same, scribe mark to scribble mark, same way they come from the factory, this is only a problem for pumps rebuilt by companies that did the rebuild wrong, this is why its important to get The correct pump. When...

    Shaking above 65MPH

    Anytime a tire shakes at a particular speed is balancing issue…I have RF’s in every tire I’ve ever used and never have any issues, if you are running old MT’s, get rid of them…also, OZ means “Ozone”, meaning the tires are treated to prevent premature degradation due to sun, all military tires...

    60A regulator on 200A alternator?

    The 14v tap doesn’t provide 12v for the TCM, the rear battery does, the purpose of the 14v tap is prevent an imbalance between the 2 batteries due do unequal draw…you can disconnect the 14v tap and the truck will run fine, the batteries on the other hand will suffer.

    Tachometer Wire Connector

    they are used in the installation of the red dot kits to connect powe I’ve never seen one fail, the red dot AC uses them to connect power off the heater switch…unless your truck is underwater I doubt your going to have a problem with this so called “rust”. but hey…to,each his own.

    M1165

    upon removal of the 3 13mm pump bolts through the oil filler, remove the bolt clocked closest to the oval dowel hole last, this leaves you setting the bolt hole next to it at 12 o’clock and dowel hole at 11 o’clock.
