    Is this wheel unusable?

    Of course you likely have 4, 12 bolt wheels:LOL:

    Is this wheel unusable?

    I would go back to the seller and tell him one rim is no good, unless you knew that beforehand. Otherwise put a want in the classified section. IIRC I have 7-8 of those 24 bolt "paired" rims so if nobody else has an acceptable solution I can check. I have a stack of 8 bolt wheels/tires. Ciao

    Is this wheel unusable?

    If you had an emergency at say 2-3AM you would crank like hell and HOPE you can wake up that grey haired lady that lived in the central office. But it would not be long many of your neighbors on that party line would wake up, pick up the phone and see if they could help. Those were the days!!!

    Is this wheel unusable?

    NO. I spent a few years in Liberty Hill, it was so long ago we had crank phones on party lines, and that's no joke!!

    Proper way to lube chassis?

    Many ball joints and some tie rod ends are ruined if you pump them up enough to "leak" grease, a "pump" or two each is all you need. This does not mean you have to park the truck

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    You should be reading around 300-320 psi. so that's not good, you may have got it hot enough to collapse the rings. Lots of folks would say "i would have noticed before it got that bad" but in reality humans are actually very poor at monitoring engine parameters. There is likely water in the...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    I can't tell if the water is blowing out of the intake port or the exhaust port (the small port in the middle of the head is connected to the exhaust) ether way it is not good. I would do a compression test after securing a set of intake port covers, if anything gets into those ports it's bad...

    M998 lift pump replacement and bleeding tips

    Both the gaskets are the same as an older small block chevy (think 1970 350CI) so you can pick them up at the local parts house. Some just use gasket maker. After you grease up the rod, put some on the tip going into the block also. I put the gasket and plate on and with the small 1/4" screws...

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    If you drive your vehicle to another state you should be OK, moving to another state and keeping your FL registration might be a problem. Now a commercial vehicle is a completely different animal, many companies operate vehicles registered in different states, but that is way above my pay grade...

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    Welcome to the forum!!! I hope you get the info you need here, one word of caution is we do not discus or suggest anything that would be considered illegal. One comment I have is all the states have reciprocal agreements that I know of as long as a privately owned vehicle is legal in the...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    If your compression was so bad that ether would not kick it (again don't do that again) it should be obvious while cranking, you had it running so you should know what it sounded like while cranking before the "incident", does it sound different now? It should sound even, not significantly...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    I asked if there was any water in the oil, also is the oil level high. You are a little vague about the readings when you noticed trouble, if the "white smoke" you saw was the beginning of the cooling system failure you should be OK, if the white smoke was sometime down the road from the event...

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    All that is needed is to check the factory grounds, everything on a HMMWV has a return ground wire, the "kit" is not needed, If you had done this to begin with you would have found the issue that the kit did not fix anyway.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Oh I forgot, on the way up hwy 181, I passed a dodge/Cummins on the side of the road with a set of jumper cables hanging on the rear view mirror. So I stopped and helped the couple out, the jumper cables were the cheapest set of cables I have ever seen, I would be surprised if they were 4ga, one...
