I'm by no means an expert but I think the issue is the anti-corrosion additives that are used. Old green coolant used silicates where the Dex-cool stuff used a completely different compound that many believe attacked plastic, silicone seals, etc.

Is that the same as the "any make, any model" stuff? There are so many variations, it's hard to keep everything straight.

That's exactly my concern. Seems lots of people like zerex G05 so that's probably what I'll use even though it's pretty expensive. Still cheaper than a water pump, radiator or heater core though. I'm still happy to get opinions from other people though.

So I did do *some* research before I drained, flushed and filled my truck with Prestone Any Make Any Model green coolant. Apparently not enough research because now I'm reading that Prestone coolant is basically watered down Dex-cool that is dyed green instead of orange. I idiotically assumed...

Just a useless anecdote but I put a 4" on my 95 6.5 pickup when I was a kid and I felt like it did do at least a little something to help the responsiveness and it definitely sounded 100x better than the factory exhaust. I didn't dyno it or anything to prove it made a difference but it...

So it only takes the government two weeks and it takes GP the entire rest of the time we have to wait? That's completely ridiculous.

Please say you're joking. April 1st was a few days ago.

So with some experimentation, I can answer all of the questions I asked. Thankfully, first of all, I did not hook anything up incorrectly because that would have been a pain to swap at the valve. Second, the engine apparently produces plenty of air pressure at idle. And third, no, submerging the...

Where did you get the new lenses? I need to replace all of mine due to cracking/fading.

Yes, there is a pressure test but that only checks for leaks in the tubing. I am more interested in if the DWF CDR valve actually is working. How many times will I use it? Probably never. But much like the pistol I keep near my bed, I would like to know that it will probably do the job if the...

I installed all the parts that GP removed and I think I got everything hooked up correctly. The question now is how do I know if it is working? When the valve is in "vent" or "deep ford" there is no air whatsoever coming from the vent line that is teed off to all the various components. I even...

Dang, I never even considered that. Steel cable through the hoops, steering wheel cable lock and a hidden cut-out switch should make these things pretty annoying to steal. I'll definitely keep that in mind if ever I need to leave my truck parked somewhere sketchy for any length of time.

I was really close to doing that and labeling it an aux light switch but I had the thought that the thief might get in and just randomly start flipping any visible switches and then get the truck to start. I may still put a second switch in series with the other one that I can use for extra...

Anyone on here would be able to easily bypass these types of theft deterrents. Just lift the hood, plug the original 54 wire back in to the injection pump and drive away. Would take 15 seconds max. This is for petty criminals that are too lazy/scared to figure out why the truck won't start...

I spent a long time trying to find a good place to hide a switch that disables the injector pump as a theft deterrent to casual car thieves that don't know their way around a HMMWV. I wanted somewhere that was hidden from line-of-sight and was also easily accessible. I think the high beam switch...

USAA wouldn't even try to insure my HMMWV. Neither would Progressive which is who USAA referred me to. State Farm did it without a single issue though.

I ended up digging through the parts diagrams and ordering everything I think I need to restore DWF except some fasteners that macmotors didn't stock so I'll have to find those at home depot. Plan to get it all installed this weekend. Still can't believe I cut out the darn hose for the sensor...

At least my DMV said it won't be any issue as long as I have the SF97. Even said they could override a failed emissions test if they needed to. Now I just need that dang SF97. My temp tag expires in a few days so I'll have to beg for another.

About 5 weeks before me. Guess I better hunker down for the long wait then.

When did you pick up the truck?
