    how to detect a broken CDR-Valve?

    My guess would be to put a vacuum gauge & pump on the small hose and see if it holds the low pressure when pumped up. If not, I would assume the diaphragm is broken.

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    The 4 hole flange plate on the back with collar has at least 2 variations on height. Since you have the mwo add on plate for extra capacity, it is taking up some the slack. The flange plate is where I would consider removing material safely to shorten

    Modern tire size to replace 900x16

    I looked at that post and website and it was very interesting. Only thing my feeble brain could not wrap around was the hmmwv rim half studs and nuts are not beveled seats so if that is now the point of attachment on the new adapter plate how are they "true and centered" Maybe at these speeds...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    I believe that is a jic flare fitting. No o ring. I would unscrew, make sure interior fitting is clean with no dirt/paint and reassemble. That is reusable field fitting that can be disassembled and rubber hose replaced.

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    My go to when chasing this type of leak is a can of spray degreaser such as gunk to hose down the area to remove dirt and oil/grease so the fresh stuff stands out clearly. Also makes the repair slightly easier as you will hopefully stay cleaner .. :cool:
