    M1101 Bearing set

    No joy. Can't get there from here (where I'm at). Odd. But I DID pull the caps, jack up wheel and bearings feel FINE, grease is clean, white, like it had the job done before being sent off to sit for a couple years before auction. Looking for brake HOSES now (all three rubber), and that's...

    Locking Door Handles for X doors

    I‘ve got a strong sense that the inside locking models are a local design. By looking closely at photos of them from epay it really looks like it‘s just something like a 1/4-20 wingnut and some washers. Maybe held in place with a rivnut or spot-welded nut. I might be wrong, too. Keep us...

    HMMWV Weatherstripping to Seal Hard Doors

    Night of the living dead thread resurrection... How many of these kits does it take to seal all four doors? I‘m finding the rolls of foam, an occasional kit. This seems like it might be a better way to go than the OEM weatherstripping to cut out wind noise and/or reduce water intrusion...

    how level does a m101a2 trailer need to be - realistically

    Gotta ask, 'cause I'm about to do the same with my Tacoma (pintle plus riser). There are a LOT of mfrs out there, reading similar complaints on some available through amazon and epay. I'm thinking - based on measuring at least twice - I'll need about 8" of rise, or the many-holed plate you're...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I just bought a set of X-doors. Winter project will be refinishing them. New locking door handles arrive soon, looking at a set of seals, NIB for about $160. I looked at these kits, stuff looks like the weather sealing material sold at the big box hardware stores like this...

    new tachometer problems

    Someone with an EE degree can correct me here (not an EE, but a Ham and I've tinkered with some electronic projects in the past), but I think adding something like a 100 microfarad 50 volt electrolytic capacitor across the voltage screws (+/-) can smooth some of that out a bit by attenuating the...

    Locking Door Handles for X doors

    Great question. One I’ve been looking for an answer to myself. I seriously doubt the aforementioned company is having this custom-mfd in some Lao Gai in Quaingxsiu province PRC but they could be; could even be paying somebody to drill/mill/plug and play somethign proprietary. But now that I...

    Correct transmission filter

    Not a fan of cork or fiber. Go to Amazon dot com and type "TH400 filter" in the search window and hit enter. Have fun.

    Correct transmission filter

    Dexron III ATF is still available and cheap - I think - I bought a 5 gallon bucket (mfd by Miles) delivered from Jeffrey "Dr. Evil" Beelzebub's site for about $45 delivered. Basically dyed light mineral oil, later versions (Dexron 4,5,6) are backwards compatible, if I understand the wisdom of...

    M1101 Bearing set

    Following this thread out of curiosity as I JUST bought an M1102 Silver Eagle (1998, IIRC) and I can‘t for the life of me figre out how to find THAT shopping list. Amazon.com wants a user name or email. Thanks in advance. Norm

    Engine dies whilst driving

    Welcome to the madness. I'm guessing Bristol, England as native speakers of Standard American English only use "whilst" if they're pretentious graduates of some backwater elite finishing school in New England - hardly the kind of folk who congregate here. Connections, connections, connections...

    coolant leak

    I changed every hose in my cooling system EXCEPT the one from the crossover to the water pump. 3/4“ ID about 5“ long, IIRC. Didn‘t look too bad and it was after working on the cooling system most of a Saturday and what the heck, I‘ll get around to it. Shortly after changing engine oil I...

    Need fuel filters

    D'oh. Of course, Eastern surplus too, just listed three off the top of my head, Dave. [BTW: NP242 Transfer Case I got from you in April - ? - is installed and works great. Can't recommend these guys highly enough]
