    Humvee glow plugs

    It's a toss up if all will come out without issue. I would pull them on a hot motor. It may help with the removal. First three front of truck to rear on drivers side I pull from underneath. First three from pass side removal from up top. Pull the air filter assembly to make room. Last plugs...

    My wife is going to kill me... :D

    Well since your ultimate demise is imminent might I suggest you gift the offending gensets to the members of this site to be raffled off. It would be looked upon as a kind act and frankly you need all the help you can get. Members here would give an outpouring of gratitude and sympathy in...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You know I could see expanding this cool setup to include an audio amplifier with Bluetooth, Four 5 1/4" coaxial speakers. Four USB charger outlets for both "C" and 3.0 USBs. That center compartment for me could hold my four aircraft intercom headsets. Any bluetooth operation would be...

    CUCV Tahoe Sour Grapes post

    Boy have prices changed since 2020. Five years ago I purchased four nice X doors for 2k and I thought that was outrageous little did I know. The staircase is only going down with no bottom in site. Mark

    Hawaii MV ownership/registration

    Vehicles have a real problem with rust on the islands so just be aware of it. Spent four months on Oahu a few years ago and absolutely loved it. Very very expensive place to live. They ship Everything in save coffee and pineapples. Would love to go back. Mark

    Need opinion - Dirty/old coolant or oil/coolant mix?

    It could use a flush for sure. If you suspect a leaking head gasket then there are products out there like the one below. They test for exhaust gasses in the coolant. Mark

    Behr paint test.

    The sprayer will give the best results but I have seen some great brush jobs. If you must use a roller I would still thin out the paint with 10% distilled water and have a good Purdy brush at the ready for smoothing things out. Keep up posted. I touch-up mine with a throw away 1" "chip" brush...

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    Yes like he said. Sometimes you need to beat the hell out of an engine to clear issues up. Mark

    Best glow plugs

    Are the Chinese making any with the 3/8" hex or do they only make them with 10mm? I had received a set of supposedly U.S. issue plugs and the did look good (no numbers on them) and when I found they were 10mm I did not use them. They were also more on the shiny than the real Wellmans. Pure...

    Batteries.... ?

    I have been running Optimas and routinely get 10 yrs out of them. I have a crazy audio system in one of my cars and at shows I would pull the red top in the trunk down to under 8 volts and it always came back. Try that with a flooded battery. Mark

    Batteries.... ?

    I run two Red Top Optimas and they are working flawlessly. I did use the plastic adaptors so everything fit in there as it should. Mark

    Towning home a M1101 I won

    You are correct. The prices up here in New England for a decent M101A2 is just north of 4K. I picked up my really nice M101A2 for $1300 about 8 years ago and can't believe what they are getting. I would love a M1101 or M1102 as they will take a 4x8 flat in the bed and has other attributes...
