Allot of what people think is "demil" work is not, remember many of these are tossed into a bone pile before being sold and the "demil" work is someone scavenging a part and they care not about the damage they leave behind.

Maybe that is the problem, I went the email route so I could send pictures, they said I will receive a return label from UPS.

Summit has come back to me three times so far asking questions, it is obvious they are looking for a way to deny my warrantee claim, I am not amused, this will be the last business I will ever do with Summit.

Well at least for my rear shafts it should no longer be a problem, the OEM boots are more like plastic than rubber so they do not balloon out like the Chinese boots and now both shafts have OEM boots on them. I guess the moral of this story is if you have 10K shafts just rebuild them (if not...

The Autozone shaft I pulled off about 3 weeks ago rebuilt with OEM 10K boots will go back on. Messy job!! On the road again!!! We will see if I can complete my supply run tomorrow!

I will add pictures to this post when I get the shaft out, I did not think I had "oversped" this shaft and I thought the split looked different, upon closer inspection the boot split directly down the mold seam, clearly a product failure, would it have happened to someone that drives 55-60 who...

Yes, the boot split and released all the grease, this split looks different than the failures that I know were caused by over-speed, but I have 4 of the Autozone shafts on the Detroit and have had no issues with them even though it cruises at 75 comfortably and has allot of miles on them. It is...

One saving grace was one of my stops was at Clemtex for blasting media for my cabinet, I have been using glass beads and wanted to try something more aggressive, I selected two types of media and they were so impressed with the DuraVee and it's 20lb of engine in a 10lb engine bay they called the...

Well I wish I had tried something, that Summit half shaft did not last long, I do not think I ever exceeded 80MPH in the 400 (edit, actually about 300 miles) or so miles it was on there, went to Corpus for supplies today and picked up a bad vibration on I37 in town, stopped and as you can see...

I have used the combs with some success, but the badly bent sections need some attention first, the fins are aluminum not steel, lots of patience is required. It looks like over 50% of your area will require pain staking hand work with a butter knife then using the comb to try and make it...

OK so please clear some things up for us, first are you sure it is a 5.6L? Is it an H1 or is it a HMMWV? And please explain what "light pressure" means, we need more to go on.

Both of my Humvee's make noise when turning sharp, have been for a combined 16,000 miles, I always assumed it was the Torsen diffs, the Camaro/Mustang guys complain constantly about their noisy Torsen diffs.

Actually the TCM is powered all the time on pin Z, it has a run power feed also. But the light should only have power in the run position.

This may help with the trans wiring.

Geez, they have over 300 for sale right now....... There are even 4 speed truck in Texas!

Zippy Ties (as the wife calls them) would be a real cheap fix!! I am tempted to strap some of my knockoff GoPro's under there and really see what happens, it only has happened to the rear half shafts, I actually still have one of the original half shafts on the front. I would assume it is the...

I was working on the hood today and uncovered some numbers, clearly RV0008 Not sure what to make of it "Recon Vehicle 0008"? The FAV has a different chassis than the first 8 remote controlled vehicles that were "borrowed" from the Navy (before they ordered the 120 FAVs) so I doubt it stands for...

Has the same engine and transmission, not much improvement. I love the way they rate it in KPH sounds much better than a max 55 MPH

I would say maybe but I did a turbo conversion and even though I did do a 1/2" body lift it was not necessary, the GEP has a lower profile crossover (this is a GEP) It seems unlikely the military would do such a conversion, but that was my first thought also. It looks like this mod removed the...

Spotted this on GP, I have never seen an intake manifold cross over that was modded like this.
