I'm keeping this vehicle and would like to find out your thoughts on the frame reinforcement. (I did a couple of searches and either the reinforcements were down a ways in long threads..) I've seen the Predator and the "duck" reinforcements. Today, I heard from someone who says that a SoCal...

Thanks Juan!!!

Just changed the coolant in mine. After three flushes, I still have rusty water. I had to switch out the heater valve anyway so I ran the Prestone Cleaner through and then pulled a couple of hoses. A good amount of rust still in the hoses, also in the heater core intake. What drained out was...

That lower bolt is key to getting the belts tight... Mine still flap a bit but ....

Yup: RTCO-2619

I am ok with my heater since I live in SoCal except for one thing: The valve on the hose is very stiff and barely moves with even me using pliers. Anyone know of a source for a replacement? (1989 M998, 6.2)

I installed my kit. I spent more time getting the rusty engine cooling system cleaned out (and it is still a little rusty*) than I did installing the kit. I have not been very systematic w/rt checking performance before and after because I don't have time. Here's what I did notice: 1. The new...

Last night, I drained the radiator. Orangish and rusty. I'm figuring two or more flushes to get it clean. I did this primarily to install the coolant kit that Derek sells but getting out the rust out is now a priority. Scope creep I guess.

Good for you that you have a title!!! I've heard they are a bear if you don't. Congrats!

I draw the line at hello kitty stickers. :naner:

Plus 5 for this one. The HMMWV was built to to be adaptable. Not a single model, not a single use or objective. Much of the technology is rolling into future models. As for mods, where this post started: When my wife and I couldn't stand the seats, we modded to have very safe and more...

In a word, yes. I put the springs on the seat posts for that reason. I am still going to have to change out the springs to something with more coils. The ones I purchased are long and then I cut them down. I will have to experiment. Unfortunately, I don't have the specs on them. Bought them at...

Yeah, noticed I made that error after I posted it. Thanks!

I liked the fact that these seats had five-point harnesses so I thought I would buy a pair. I don't know if I would recommend them based on the difficulty of installing them but I like what I am seeing as an end result. I believe the truck will be safer, have better rollover protection, and I...

I pulled the halfshafts about a month ago. Was ready to put them back in. Unfortunately, when I started putting in bolts, the plate on the disks had shifted (due to weight). So, my hip tip is that if you pull your halfshafts, leave in a couple of bolts so that you are correctly lined up. I am...

Inside is looking good!

I was wondering about clutch placement too.

As to the overall design, looks like a slot for a single phone. Wondering about drink holder, misc. stuff you might want out in the open, way to hold a phone while displaying a map, etc. I like the side doors.

Amazing thread, loads of naysayers, lol. Will hold additional commentary in reserve for now.

Yup, commonly called Zeus fasteners. Used in off-road racing to get body parts on and off quickly.
