    LA 5 ton Insurance not parked in garage

    Interesting as my denial letter clearly states no coverage due to garage. State farm does my hmmwv as a classic and picked up my m923. Cost me $60 more than gulfway. Ok with everything as they do my homeowner, flood, and cars so I feel my agent will continue to make me happy as a 30 year...

    Steering wheel- A0 to A2 style

    The loaner / rental steering wheel puller from O'reillys does the job and has the correct 1/4 bolts. My wire had a little slack and easy to snap the horn button stem to the wire. Not aware there was a different style button. My original worked just fine. Pictures of the puller and my install on...

    Bulbs Burning/Blowing

    I have come to a different conclusion on the aftermarket 6TL batteries sold by NAPA and O'reilly's. I had thought they were the same and a different label applied. I recall trying a few years ago to get some from a local exide distributor/warehouse ( I was in parts for 20 years) who told me flat...

    M939 Tie Rod Ends

    Some brands stamp the part number on the flat surface where the zerk fitting screws into?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I know how much that hood weighs with the Armour grills. With the tools added, I assume you have to be the hulk to raise it :) Looks great!

    AM General parts website

    I hope that it also is a win but know other firms like this have been corporate raiders. I saw yesterday that Briggs and Stratton also got acquired by KPS Capital Partners . Time will tell what happens to these 2 firms.

    AM General parts website

    I asked them that via email specifically for m939 . The reply is that it is under review and consideration for other platforms. Not sure how the the sale of AMG to a private equity capital group will affect that as some of those type firms are all about ripping companies apart for a quick buck...

    Thanks All for the help with my M149A2 Water Buffalo

    Thanks All for the help with my M149A2 Water Buffalo

    Not my trailer but saw this online if it helps you?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    The harness is common across many trailer platforms not just m116. It comes with the extra wire I can think to power dome light. In the tm section. I uploaded a document with all the wire numbers as they are a universal numbering system on all military tactical equipment.

    Air horn woes

    This is a great troubleshooting thread. I used this to fix my problem. In my case, I had a bad horn button on the steering wheel.

    Newbie With a 1984 M923 - So many questions...

    Try tapping the back of the starter where the brushes are and the solenoid. I suspect your starter is going bad and when ithe windings hits the bad spot is your problem. Starters have a history of this type of failure. 74m35a2 sells a direct drive unit that is smaller, lighter, and cranks...

    Air brake connections- Teflon paste or Teflon tape?

    I did not inquire about plastic/abs? application.

    Air brake connections- Teflon paste or Teflon tape?

    So I spoke to Henkel tech support who is the parent of permatex/loctite. The red is actually what they call burnt orange. It is sold to preauthorized centers in bulk and they apply it. They do not sell the same product in the retail or automotive/hardware markets. Some additional information...

    Air brake connections- Teflon paste or Teflon tape?

    Interesting but their fittings come with a "red" teflon/dope already pre applied on new items.
