    Front Left Hand Geared Hub Leak Issue.

    I think the steering arm cover is below the oil level, so you should drain the hub first. Other than that its easy, just 4 bolts and it pops off. This also gives you a good chance to inspect the lock washer tabs on the spindle. If its not the cover leaking then the next thing I would expect is...

    Helmet Hardtop / Turtle Top

    I have a soft top now but if I could find one of those low-profile hardtops local I'd be on it in a second!

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    First thing I noticed is that the passengers side rear tire is almost flat, I"m guessing they didn't get the sealing ring seated right or something is wrong with that tire.

    Removing shifter to install back-up light switch

    Some of the bolts are in a hard to reach space, I think its the drivers side ones. Works better if you have someone in the cab to hold the bolt still while you remove the nut from underneath. I removed the engine cover and could get at the front ones that way also.

    Removing shifter to install back-up light switch

    While you dont have to remove it, I would because it gives you a chance to lube up the shifter. Its just 4 bolts holding it to the body, the 2 arms for the trans/transfercase, and the wiring for the gear illumination and safety switch. Be gentle with it and try not to rip the rubber boot and it...

    Do the wires not have numbered tags on them?

    Slow Speeds

    I'd say you have a problem if its a soft top truck. I have the 6.2 and can cruise at 55 pretty comfortably

    Door Handles and Latch ?

    The round rod ones are for the hard doors, the soft doors use just a piece of bent wire basically.

    Humvees in the winter

    It doesn't get super cold here, lowest is teens usually, but I've found that the heater doesnt really keep you warm as much as just keeps you from freezing to death. I'm usually ok with normal shoes and a decent coat most of the time. I do have the soft cargo cover on mine and I think that helps...

    ENGINE TEMP - How high is too high

    I think having an operational and accurate temp gauge is very important. One time I was running mine and randomly looked at the gauge and it was pegged hot. Turns out that the clutch fan relay decided to stop working so the fan wasn't coming on to cool the engine at all. Immediately shut it down...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    When I did mine it wasn't actually that bad, the rivets they used for the drivers seat base are aluminum and the die grinder with a decently abrasive disk went through them like butter.

    Airlift bumper license plate mount

    I used 2 magnetic dealer plate mounts and an LED license plate bracket with a resistor inline to bring down the voltage so it didnt burn out. Ran the power wire to the marker light on that side. Did the same thing to the front minus the light. The magnets are pretty strong and I can take the...
