    Transfer case oil

    Dexron III in the Us is widely available. It is what I would recommend to use. Transfer case failures are not a widespread military problem and I would use what is OE and has millions of miles of use. If in Canada it is not available then the later Dexron should work. The difference is in the...

    Transfer case oil

    Transmission fluid is usually a 10w with additives. Gear oil is much thicker...... That is a big difference in oil!

    Idler arm question

    Ditto on looking for excessive slop. When really bad the stud will freely spin in the socket. on the bracket/frame side, look for extra slop/movement or just the opposite binding/seizing up. that rubber washer is more of a dust cover and holds in grease residue. If joint is good, use a grease...

    Deuce Camo Active Duty

    I thought that was one of those hard skinned metal shells/ enclosures like the M105 sometimes had? Not a true standalone shelter. Not sure of the technical name?

    Interesting and cool pictures. Thanks for posting! Looks like the last m416 trailer has a hard top enclosure. Does anyone have information on those?

    Humvee Fuel Tank Overfill Causing a leak?

    I am not familiar with H1, but is a separate independent tank with its own fuel line and vent lines plus filler neck. I have not looked at the install manual recently if I recall 150 pages or so but seem to remember it has a valve and switch but I am foggy on that detail.

    In the good ole days. You used a bar of soap and let the belt scrape on it while running and avoiding spinning objects..... soap actually would work for a while or until you went fording......

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    The physical case of the pump housing and reservoir is the same. The internals are different. One of the items different is the piston as they can be different pressure. Not sure on the valve. I know there is aftermarket valves to lower pressure for the hot rodders out there using rack and...

    Picked up an 09 M1123 and the power steering is wonky

    Since you have a thermal fan, someone has tinkered with it using civy parts. The Integral reservoir pump is a standard GM Saginaw design but the hmmwv uses a specific to it only higher pressure pump due to the hydraulic fan clutch not used on Gm, Hummer, or civy models and some trucks can be...

    Automotive 3m roloc surface conditioning disc ( look like sponges) are great for removing gasket residue and small enough to use on a cordless drill. YMMV
