    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Simple enough to check. disconnect the line at the return line, crank it. Fuel comes gushing out, it's not your shutoff. Fuel doesn't come out you're zeroing in on something in the pump.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    If you don't see any movement of fuel it's either something in the pump(since you are getting fuel to the pump) or check valve stuck? in the return line from what I've read. Good luck.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Put a piece of clear line where the small section 2?3? 4? inch of rubber is coming out of the front of the pump to the return line.... See if you have any movement of fuel when cranking. Your wait light coming on for about 5-7 seconds then off? Check your valley, is it dry? I had a bad seal...

    How much play at steering wheel is normal?

    Yeah I bought that idler arm from epay, the listing said supercedes all, but the listing was inaccurate, it's for the heavier humvees. I bought the second steering arm in the tm. I thought they were just substitutes. My question is how would anyone figure out which is for their vehicle when...

    How much play at steering wheel is normal?

    There are two idler arms parts numbers and two arm steering gear part numbers in this TM. I'm presuming at this point the first one is for non older humvess, the second for A1?

    What are the loops attached to the underside of body for radio cables called?

    I came across somebody on eflea that was selling 10 packs of them by accident yesterday, now I can't find them using all kinds of searches. I'm going to start putting my radios in soon and could use some. Thanks, Wasn't sure whether to put this in the radio forums or here. Seems more appropriate...

    Combat Rim vs regular rim?

    I just changed the oring on one of my M936A2 Rims, so i wanted to make sure I put the right diameter oring in there. I'm seeing there are 3/16, 1/4, 5/16 It wasn't hard at all with swan neck tire bars to pop the smaller rim off! Now if I had to get the runflat to put in a new tire out that...

    How much play at steering wheel is normal?

    I had my HMMWV into the shop for exhaust work about a month and a half ago. They told me I needed a new idler arm and pitman arm. So i ordered them, it's going back in tomorrow to replace these. My left arm had a completely torn bicep tendon right before I took it in, so I can't work on anything...
