    Hello everyone, new here.

    Unless you had a vibration from it , it's probably still good. It's not uncommon for them to have movement from the rubber bushing. You should see what one of these look like in a class 8 truck. Think dinner plate.

    Hello everyone, new here.

    Was there play in the bearing itself or the rubber around the outside of the metal bearing? Thats also called a "carrier" bearing in most places. I also have to go and move my chair into the corner and make sure the coffee is warmed up. I have a feeling I'll be spending some time there!

    Still having problems, engine loses power after driving brief distance

    My opinion , based on my experience, you need to tear down the entire system, tank out, replace the pickup sock if necessary, pressure wash the inside of the tank, new fuel lines and return lines, make sure the mechanical pump is pushing fuel, "remove" the stock fuel filter housing and clean...

    Upper A-Arm bolts

    Place your jack "under" the lower a arm, loosen the bolts holding the a arm mounting bracket. Once they are "loosened" raise the lower a arm, this will unload the upper a arm and if you have the newer style shims they will slide out the top. If you have the holes only the bracket has to come...

    [Q] - Best way to remove lower bolt for rear lower A-arm?

    I might add.......... you need an air or battery impact wrench(beg, rent, buy). Loosen the nut and then spin the daylights out of the bolt first one way and then the other a couple of times. This will loosen/pulverise the corrosion and make the "drifting" the bolt out MUCH easier. I see you are...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    After thinking for a minute (something I don't regularly do) I believe the model truck you have has the vent system plumbed differently from the earlier trucks. The pump vent may go to the tank ......maybe. Just the same if the diaphragm is compromised fuel coming out the vent fitting is a sure...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    If you had air escaping from the mechanical pump on the side of the engine it's my guess that you have a ruptured diaphragm in the pump. I would disconnect the vent line as to not get fuel in the vent system as you trouble shoot he fuel system. Fuel escaping the vent fitting equals a pump...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Had to fabricate a bracket for the solenoids, and took an angle grinder to the lower edge of the mount where the cable comes through in case it bound up and drug across the edge. Hope this helps.

    My 4L80E trouble codes

    I think I would pull the round plug on the driver side of the transmission and stick a qtip in it (you have to have a really small head to get an eyeball up to it) and see if it comes out "RED", that would be transmission fluid. It could account for all of your electrical gremlins but...
