Welcome to the SS forums!

Again all gear pumps make noise, that is why you will not find one from "an old GMC truck",, 99% of civy vehicles use a vane type pump because they are much quieter. I'm sure you could fit a vane style pump from an earlier HMMWV with the built in reservoir but why? gear pumps are more dependable...

That is interesting, a couple weeks ago I was at an event where a Texas DPS officer gave a talk, he said they do not want you to inform them if you are carrying, he said they just assume everyone is carrying, he said if you inform then the officer has to follow up with an investigation to make...

IMHO "tooling" around town with an "armed" HMMWV is a bad idea, just my 2 cents worth.

Well it is Spring Break so it was a little cool with a chance of rain this morning on the beach. And then there was this guy, wish I got a pic of the driver, he matched that old good times van perfectly, grey hair half way down his back and Birkenstocks! When I first saw him he was standing...

Not likely going to help, AFAIK the ins. folks go by the titled date

And I was about to check to see if I could get liability on a 2007 R1 just to have a beater to play with, maybe I should just knock it in the head instead!

I got liability only on my first truck through Farm Bureau, but I had all my stuff insured through them.

Well the first thing is to get the codes, if you jump the pins and get no codes that is a big problem, even with "no codes" you should see a repeated 12 code. with the truck not running anything but park will allow the truck to roll, so that means nothing. But no reverse with no TCM connected is...

It could of course be a tire, ether way it should be easy to tell by looking at the tire/rim while spinning on the balancer. I feel your pain, I have 5 new tires but keep putting up with square tires due to laziness

In my limited experience with tires usually side to side is a bent rim.

Keep us posted!!

All the trucks with the remote reservoir have gear type pumps, all gear type pumps make noise, that is why you don't see them on civy vehicles, think log splitter, skid loader or trackhoe. all of them have pump noise, changing the fluid will not change that. "The hydraulic noise is mainly...

This seems to be a common "issue" not really a problem, someone should crank up their CNC machine and knock out some 1/4" spacers for the master cylinder as I don't think there is any adjustment available, may even be some spacers out there in the hot rod world, I have never looked. EDIT, I did...

The process keeps getting better and better at the Tax office, the first few HMMWVs I purchased I ended up paying the taxes twice and of course the late fee. The last truck I bought I managed to get credit for the taxes being payed but still had to pay the late fee. This time I found out that...

That's interesting, the only "reasons" I have ever seen are "engine would not start" and "engine incomplete and cannot be started" but of course I have not looked at every sale.

Has anyone actually tried this? The bar must be bent after it is placed into the hub to clear the rim, I would like to see a video of this ACTUALLY being put to practice, and if that is actually what they are for why are they not on the front also?? I am not sure what they were actually for, pre...

Missing batteries or belts does not make it a non runner, it is simple they put a jumper cable on it and if it starts it is a runner, if not it is a non runner, they are not going to put any more effort into it than that, I have however seen some trucks that a third party has apparently been...

Park is safer and the trans does not know the difference, any reference to neutral hearkens back to the trucks with no park. run it it forward, reverse then put it in park and check the fluid while idling.

You can ohm out the wire to see if it is open or not, you can also ground the sensor connection on the gauge, shorted to ground it will read full scale to one side and open will read full scale the other direction, this is true of all analog gauges, some will read max shorted others when open...
