Thanks, Juan, Action, Simp7862 (if that’s your real name). Wrong fitting, wrong hose, will try and order in the AM (MacMotors has ‘em). FEDEX from PA is about 24 hrs, if they’re open Easter Monday. Easier/cheaper just to buy the right part. Have it made up at NAPA? No thanks, they’re morons...

Sort of. Pressure hose from cadillac valve to shroud connector came off. Had installed valve about a month ago, used new piece of hose. Fuel line, 50psi. What was I thinking, right? It was what was on it, I didn’t give it any thought. Bled system, tested fan/TDM/clutch - runs great. Couple...

12mpg at 65mpg average, 20mpg without trailer same avg speed. It’s like towing a parachute. The speed thing was weird, was keeping up with flow of traffic through Knoxville, early afternoon, got into this weird passing/no passing thing where all I wanted to do was pull over OUT of the passing...

took mine for a ride yesterday. 759 miles to Tennessee. 5AM to 6PM EST. Gas mileage was awful, but it rides smooth up to 90mph (don’t ask).

As they say (whoever "they" are - well, THEY know who they are), it's the little things that matter most. I'm sure your HMMWV appreciates the gesture. Actually, all sarcasm aside, that's a great idea. Thanks again for posting.

Windy today, power’s out. Have kerosene heater in house for wife (recovering from surgery), I’m reviving a 17 year old Yamaha Grizzly 600 ATV, cleaned out carb, had it running- sort of - putting in a rebuild kit this am and wanted power/lights on my workbench. Figure this’ll last a few hours...

Scored a good used Harmar AL055 wheelchair lift off the evil auction site. Had a buncha “bucks” I needed to use, no one else bidded on it, so I wound up bidding the opening bid - no reserve - so it cost about $175. Thing stands about 2 feet high, arm swings out about 3 feet. Capacity’s #200...

Ran this setup today for about an hour. The 4800 Watt space heater. At first the generator kind of “bogged down” when the heater came on, and all kinds of black smoke came out of the genset like it was a municipal/city bus pulling away from a stop. Did this for about ten minutes, then the...

I posted on that months ago. PFC Snuffy used a 5/8 hose outlet on the crossover, but there was a 3/4 outlet on the water pump (what‘s supposed to be in both places). I replaced the hose and still had leaking. took the hose off again to fix it and couldn‘t help noticing the top/crossover end...

Wow. And wow again. Anaerobic soil bacteria will feast on the mineral oil in the ATF. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://duckduckgo.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1007&context=bioscimicro Eventually. Growing up in Florida, pre-EPA, we’d use old motor oil to kill...

This is fun. Came across this from a newsfeed from CFACT. HAte to do a “zombie post” resurrection, but searches for “biodiesel” led to this forum, this post. **************** Germany's fighter jets in Schleswig-Holstein grounded after too much bio-diesel was mixed into the jet fuel. Share the...

Not exactly a “what I did to my HMMWV today” but useful anyway. Moving batteries around recently (my thanks to Scrounger who advised getting a Snap-On carbon pile battery load tester - found one on the evil auction site delivered for about $220), I remembered these things in my brother’s garage...

Replaced the cadillac valve. Had bought one thinking it might be a good idea to have around as “a spare” but after reading General Hood’s travails, I went out and measured the resistance in mine - open circuit. Hasn’t run since last summer (the fan), several trips around town, 80 mile run...

So, what ever came of this? I just changed out my solenoid/cadillac valve and MAN is it comforting to hear that fan kick in when I unplug the connector. Had me worried a bit. You sort this out?

When I bought the truck the title was from Montana with no restrictions on it.

Yeah, that. I forgot to mention, I used Laurel Tag and Title just off Rte 1 and 198, 3 day return. Sweat bullets, but it worked out fine. NFW was I going to sit in the MVA or hours and hours only to talk w/ some pea-brained civil servant public education victim who knew less about Maryland...

If it’s 20 years old register it as “historic.” Can’t be used as a daily driver, but can be for parades, having work done on it, using it to go pick up a trailer, or parts, test driving, and more, much more. CALL the “fairy godmother department” of the MVA up in Glen Burnie and ASK to speak...

Looks great. how high will it extend or is that it? I’m interested in something like that for my trailer, have been looking at used Harmar and other brands of electric wheelchair lifts; something like this might do the trick. What brand/model is that?

Removed shifter and implanted the backup light switch. Reassembled and tested circuits, now to plug in a backup light warning light (I'm going to use a 24v LED in a 1/4" hole drilled in the middle of the instrument cluster somehow, right above the speedometer), fuse, rewire the backup lights...

Not so amazed this thread has lived so long; series of zombie posts/resurrections helped. JUST got around to reading about "wet stacking" and load testing. I've had my 802A with about 90hrs on it since tier 2 reset at Letterkenney for almost two years and I've put almost 50 hours on it since...
