I changed the rubber/rear brake hoses. ALMOST bought new lines, I was having such a hard time getting the 3/8” fittings loose. I took a MAPP gas torch to ‘em for ten seconds or so. Came loose right away. Hoses were cracked, several coats of paint on them. Steel lines are actually in very...

Sintorian. One question, and it's based on how I read what other people write. I worked for several years as a research review/human use committee chairman and had to read upwards of a dozen research proposals a week. People don't always write exactly what they mean. Ref: 6. Turn steering...

Which ones, exactly? Looked this up on Napaonline and there's like three of 'em. [edit] My mistake... they're listed funny. Two listings are identical, listed twice, $22, then there's sets with pads for $58. All remanufactured.

You’re welcome. Besides the “NO ETHER IN HMMWVS” rule, another tip/practice you should adhere to is: Disconnect battery ground before doing ANY electrical work. That - very pricey - S3 box hates stray current and seems to self-immolate at the first opportunity, or at least its predecessors...

Yep, that’s it. Keep us updated.

No kidding, and a few milligrams to grams of flesh. Couldn’t figure out where the drops of blood were coming from today until I washed my hands really well and felt the sting. No clue how or what got me, but I’ve got skin and blood all over that truck. Thinking of nicknaming it “Cyborg.”

Question. What’s wrong with this picture? Answer. Two different size fittings. Between the crossover and the water pump. The smaller being on top leaked no matter how much I torqued down the hose clamp. This wasn’t at all obvious to me when I first changed the hose - it’s a tight fit getting...

Um, ether? In a HMMWV? Step away from the can, son. White smoke’s unburned diesel. Start with glowplugs (check, replace) and S3 box (PCB). Springs? Several threads beating that one to death. Retiredwarhorse has had a lot of input into this. Go to the HMMWV forum (here), and start going...

Few questions, best to talk to? Just ask, the best will come along shortly. Welcome.

Well, you‘ve come to the right place. Welcome to the madness. Enjoy. Norm

You certainly came to the right place. Congratulations. Enjoy.

Welcome. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. Got an email notifying me of your post, with the link, ordered one. Good intel. NB

I bought a couple last time they had them on sale - months ago. If you‘re looking for a permanent ground rod for your generator at home (or ham radio tower), a ground rod from the big box stores runs about ten bucks, a piece of 10 foot conduit about the same, and a garden hose fitting around...

Curious, looking at putting one in my HMMWV, I did an NSN-now search for the part # and found ONE seller, with six in stock. Gave him a call this AM, got an email several hours later. He has them. $72 each plus S&H. Ouch. You guys found a great deal there.

Passed with flying colors. Nice truck.

This post is useless without pictures. :D

In the word of the great Homer Simpson: “D’OH!”

The actuator bar - thing on the rubber seal from the master cylinder - is supposed to be flat. Looks like someone overbraked, overloaded, otherwise abused the heck out of the hardware. just remove the pin and flip it around (I THINK it's a peened, not welded, fit).

Um, yeah. mine was perfectly flat, straight. I stripped some paint overspray off it and used it again no problem. I think you could easily straighten yours out in a vise with a 2" deadblow hammer. Not sure how it got bent, considering how it's mounted to the master cylinder and springs.
