    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks promising... inboard or outboard boots? Tried finding those on their website - no joy. Only real plus side to using the website is NOT hearing "year, make and model sir?" NB

    Who has the best priced Cadillac valves?

    I can vouch for Fuzzytoaster. Some of the best deals around. I bought a CV from him for a “spare” - turns out mine went t!ts up and I need to replace it anyway.

    Top speed

    65, and not for long. 6.2L 3 speed. Do my best to limit speed to 55-60mph or about 3400+ rpm.

    The infamous Well Nut info

    Doesn’t appear to be from what I’m reading in these posts. Good tool to use for reactivity/resistance: https://www.customadvanced.com/chemical-resistance-chart.html?chemical=Diesel+Oil&rubber=NBR edit: 2111HRS Well Nuts, pickled in low-sulfur diesel fuel with a bit of Optilube XPD added...

    The infamous Well Nut info

    Well, bummer. I bought two of those from GMG in Oct ‘16 and just checked the numbers on them. #47 and 79. Packing slip reads “A3816”. What the heck did I buy? And if those guys are just buying up local stock from ACE or Tractor Supply or somewhere and selling them at an obscene profit and...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yep. That’s what it says, and what’s needed to get the air out. Sometimes twice. Or more. Turning the wheel full lock isn’t so bad once they’re off the ground, really.

    New Member Question: Red and yellow rear placards

    HOLY ZOMBIE POST RESURRECTION BATMAN! Found a place overseas (France) that has 'em. Two pair 20x20CM (7.85"), shipped, about $50 after Euro exchange. Ordered a couple pairs. I'll post elsewhere when they arrive. http://surplus.saintois.com/en/others/56-military-vehicle-delineator.html

    M1101/M1102 Cargo Cover Bolts

    3/8-16 x 1-1/2" aren't they? Try Tractorsupply or a good ACE hardware store for yellow zinc (chromate) bolts. Can also get them through Amazon.com in bulk. Fastenal, fasteners.com, other suppliers...

    Wipers

    Pull the inspection plugs (racetrack-shaped plastic pieces at top of windshield frame inside) and see if you can move the actuator rods. The plastic inserts are cheap and easy to replace (easy to break too if you put too much effort into it - order a spare) and should stop that, otherwise it's...

    I went with this style of horn: https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-CAR-PICKUP-BOAT-TRUCK-Compressor-Twin-Tone-Air-Horn-Horns-24V-24-volt/282596194654?hash=item41cc0bb95e:g:yc0AAOSwxYxUyhNg&vxp=mtr Different brand (Stebel nautilus), mounted it and the relay on the outside of the splash guard...

    D'oh! My bad, meant bleeding the power steering system. Had brake bleeding on my mind recently. Sorry. As you were.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'll take "Brake Bleeding Basics" for $500, Alex. DING-DING-DING! DOUBLE Jeopardy! Air bubbles? Look up bleeding brakes [D'OH! Power steering. -edit] in this forum. Cheaper and easier to do than replacing a pump. FWIW. NB
