I just bought a set of X-doors. Winter project will be refinishing them. New locking door handles arrive soon, looking at a set of seals, NIB for about $160. I looked at these kits, stuff looks like the weather sealing material sold at the big box hardware stores like this...

Someone with an EE degree can correct me here (not an EE, but a Ham and I've tinkered with some electronic projects in the past), but I think adding something like a 100 microfarad 50 volt electrolytic capacitor across the voltage screws (+/-) can smooth some of that out a bit by attenuating the...

Great question. One I’ve been looking for an answer to myself. I seriously doubt the aforementioned company is having this custom-mfd in some Lao Gai in Quaingxsiu province PRC but they could be; could even be paying somebody to drill/mill/plug and play somethign proprietary. But now that I...

Not a fan of cork or fiber. Go to Amazon dot com and type "TH400 filter" in the search window and hit enter. Have fun.

Dexron III ATF is still available and cheap - I think - I bought a 5 gallon bucket (mfd by Miles) delivered from Jeffrey "Dr. Evil" Beelzebub's site for about $45 delivered. Basically dyed light mineral oil, later versions (Dexron 4,5,6) are backwards compatible, if I understand the wisdom of...

Nice work, soldier. Drive on.

Did a copy and paste and they showed up just fine. Thanks. Weidmannsheil!

Following this thread out of curiosity as I JUST bought an M1102 Silver Eagle (1998, IIRC) and I can‘t for the life of me figre out how to find THAT shopping list. Amazon.com wants a user name or email. Thanks in advance. Norm

Welcome to the madness. I'm guessing Bristol, England as native speakers of Standard American English only use "whilst" if they're pretentious graduates of some backwater elite finishing school in New England - hardly the kind of folk who congregate here. Connections, connections, connections...

I changed every hose in my cooling system EXCEPT the one from the crossover to the water pump. 3/4“ ID about 5“ long, IIRC. Didn‘t look too bad and it was after working on the cooling system most of a Saturday and what the heck, I‘ll get around to it. Shortly after changing engine oil I...

D'oh. Of course, Eastern surplus too, just listed three off the top of my head, Dave. [BTW: NP242 Transfer Case I got from you in April - ? - is installed and works great. Can't recommend these guys highly enough]

in stock now at Eriksmilitarysurplus, Hummerpartsguy AND Kascar (real4WD) from about $27 to $21 respectively and probably several other sources. Check with NSN-now.com (5589161 is part #, NSN: 4330011903579: NB

I know, I know, envy is one of the seven deadly sins, but MAN, that's a nice truck... Take it out and play with it. Have fun. Norm

I had exactly the same talk with a delivery driver last week. First time I'd ever looked at the truck much, and I saw a placard by the hose which said "#2 Diesel". I mentioned it to the driver and he said the same thing you heard, that it's just dyed for tax purposes and NOT to use it in my...

I sit corrected regarding the "dust cap". Mine was firmly attached to the shaft. It did take some effort to separate the two shafts. Tried with my son, no luck. Few taps with a rubber mallet, then plastic dead-blow. Nothing. Since I was going to replace the u-joints anyway (about $15 each...

Welcome to the madness. If you can figure out a way to manufacture quality locking hard doors and undercut the competition hundreds of HMMWV owners will beat a path to your door. There was someone else on here who was looking into the possibilities, do a search on the topic. Meanwhile...

Two years ago when our college-age son's Chevy HHR needed major suspension surgery, my wife and I detailed it and traded it in on a VW (I forget the model) for our him. The salesman pushed diesel. Pushed it. Pushed it again. At the time I'd looked it up and decided based upon the vagaries of...

I found a deal on Opti-Lube XPD for a couple gallons. At the rate I drive my truck, it'll last several years if not a decade. Mileage may change in a few years with my move to TN. NB

Having just replaced mine, I THINK the purpose of the zerk fitting is to allow some grease into the splines so you can eventually separate them for replacement/repair. That end cap piece is integral with the shaft and has a seal on it. Don't recall exactly how much I spent for it, under $100...
