Most pumps, especially the electrics, like to push better than pull. An electric, mounted close to the tank is my recommendation. I was sold on them the first time I ran out of gas and didn't end up running the battery down trying to get fuel up to the carb; just turned on the power and when the...

RE: Re: Headphones recommendations while driving Duece I think the difference boils down to being able to hear outside noises, although muffled, which still gives you the ability to be aware of traffic and approaching emergency vehicles. If listening to radio or for that matter, tv or videos...

RE: Ground is good I've had bulbs where the filaments looked great but were bad inside the brass base. Try swapping out bulbs with ones that you know work and see if that changes anything.

RE: Who Thanks for including us Damon. Even though the baby HEMTT is kinda the runt of the litter.

Most gears, and bearing races too, are surface hardened and the depth may vary by process; i.e. flame hardening is not as deep as case hardening as a rule. A good way to tell is; if the gear teeth have lost their bright sheen and are starting to look kinda frosted, then they're worn through the...

RE: Re: RE: Marines I'm on it.

RE: Marines Could be right, Halftrack. I was so busy looking at the overall shot that I didn't notice that there's no spare tire showing. That means it's probably an LVS, not a HEMTT.

HEMTTs aren't exactly little so it's odd the see this one in convoy, looking smaller than the cargo behind it. Must be some kind of optical delusion?

Uhhh... and what baby HEMTT would that be?

So you can use the differential center section (third member) in any axle location. The same assy will fit and work in all axles so you don't have to have a special one for each axle position. The four bolt flange is what the drive shaft bolts to.

Can't speak for all of them but when I visited French Camp I had to call ahead of time and get an appointment. I guess they only let in a certain number of people on any given day. The GL people took me out to the area the surplus was in and stood around while I inspected and took pictures. I...

Seems like most older MVs electrical problems come down to bad grounds. Start checking those out first. Optimum set-up is; bare metal of frame/body/bracket, etc. with inside-outside star washer, then wire terminal followed by another star washer and the nut. If you're using a bolt as the...

Yeah, for some reason they only post the color scheme legend that one place and it's easy to miss. As far as a by the book rendering-- all the manuals tell you that the pattern is just a guide. I think there are only a handful of patterns that specify particular dimensions on the lay out and on...

For the three color patterns; -1- denotes the black areas, -2- denotes green areas, and -3- denotes the brown. (Same manual, Page 35 tucked in the midst of the illustrations)

Sounds like a stuck bendix to me too. Making sure the engine stop control is pulled out, remove the inspection plate from the bottom of the bell housing and try barring the engine opposite it's normal direction of rotation. If the bendix is hung up that should pop it loose.

Good point Steve. Guess I figured what it would see the most was oil vapors but copper would definately be better. Either way they're cheap enough to just replace when rust or corrosion starts to show itself. Bjorn, The push on type is a slick set-up but I went with the compression fittings on...

Problem: Venting axles and gearboxes. At some point the military came up with a positive pressure system to exclude water from entering axles and gearboxes during fording operations. Effective but complicated and prone to clogging and air leaks; and sometimes a vehicle just doesn't need that...

Barman, Good safety tip on draining air tanks before working on the air system. Left it out of my post but I'm glad to see you're on the ball. Ace, In your signature, the text should either read; "no MV was" or "no MVs were" injured... take your choice. A period or semicolon would be more...

Remove solenoid and using an air nozzle with valve like you would use for blowing chips in a shop, apply air to the horn where the solenoid is attached. If it honks, then check to see if you're getting current to the solenoid when the horn button is pushed. If you are then replace the valve. If...

Ditto, Bruce.
