This might work. A lot louder in person (I think the iphone mutes high volumes automatically), scared the bejabbers out of the dogs in the house, though.

Back in the 90's, USAA had this deal on a private FEDEX account and I took them up on it. It's really easy to print out and mail a shipping label to someone or even use one of the labels off the account-linked bar-coded roll they sent way back when. in rare instances someone is gouging buyers...

I've almost been hit - twice - in my Humvee. Lights on, a-holes ran stop signs, never even looked. Thank God my brakes work. Military horn goes "meep" so I replaced it. Now it sounds like a BMW or other Euro-car and about 139 dB loud.should get people's attention. Sent from my iPhone using...

One of these days I'll do a formal poll, but in all the decades I've been wrenching on motorcycles, cars, and now this HMMWV, it seems they're ALL quieter and smoother-running right after oil changes, more so when ALL the fluids are changed.

The longer I own mine, the farther out I stretch my road trips, the more "amenities" I add to it - better seats, aviation intercomm w/ AVN headsets and cellphone hookup for music/calls - do the safety checks, reliability checks, I'm thinking sometime down the road when it's time to move to my...

Well, normal MAINTENANCE. If you can't find a source for the "seep" (is it a class III drip or just wet along seams?), wash the truck, hose off the TC w/ some degreaser, brake cleaner, let dry and take it for a ride (DO check for the rubber plug - part #65 -in hole first), then get under there...

I bought one of those sets (PDU/battery tester) and already have two of the pulsetech 24V solargizers. If you have one added, is the wiring from the solar panel DIRECT, or does it go through some type of charge regulator like the one that comes with the pulsetech unit? I'm kind of assuming...

And soylent green is people. I recently bought a 5gal bucket of Miles' Dexron III for transmission/PS and it says clearly, in English, on the label "non toxic, non hazardous". When I was a pharmacy tech in an earlier life, we learned the difference between the two mineral oils, USP and NF...

Had a friend who ran his car exclusively on processed peanut butter oil. Car ran great but the fumes stuck to the roof of his garage. [ahem...]

Man, the suspense is killing me... did you find the source?

Because I like "gadgets", I looked for the Dorman part you mentioned. I found a PATENT for such a device with drawings I thought was interesting. Did the usual websearches, amazon's jungle search engine, epay, even the dorman site itself. Nada. Nada darned thing. [edit: THIS, on the evil...

Awesome. Now if you can get setup to crank out,say, a dozen sets, and price them reasonably (look at ePay, some folks are gouging, IMHO, but I honestly don't know how much time/labor/materials cost go into a set of these. Knew a guy once with a water jet metal cutter, something like that could...

What Juan said. You can ALSO use a 1/4-20 KNOB you'll find at a big box hardware store; I used 3/8 hitch pins to connect the legs to the base too, makes for easier removal of the tray. For security, I use a bike lock with a 1/4" loop but it rattles a bit.

"PROTECTIVE Control Box". Isn't that where the acronym is from? Probably one of those things you MIGHT do just to limp home or at least get the truck up on a trailer.

Enjoyed every second. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

A wise man once said God saw fit to give us two eyes and two ears, but he only gave us one mouth. Read through the forum(s) that interest you, use the search engine, ask questions. Selling? I have no data. Welcome aboard. Norm

Welcome to the madness. For titling and insurance information, try the stickies at the top of the forums and/or use the website search engine to look for such info. There's more than a handful of FMV owners in Ohio, I'm sure one of them can help you. Norm

Sure thing: This was both easier AND harder than I thought it would be. I replaced my 218 TC with an NP242 and thought the TC Lock light was a good idea. Lamps are relatively cheap - I think it was around $15 - I bought spools of the prestolite wire and connectors through Eriks Military...

Dein Englisch ist nicht nur gut genug bei uns, es is auch SAU gut (ein Bayerische Redewendung die ich im Augsburg gelernt weil ich war drei Jahren bei der Armee da). Ein Herzlich Willkommen auch! I knew a guy when I was in Augsburg who sold a 1957 Thunderbird to someone he met at a rest stop...

Got front differential drain plug out. MAPP gas torch and TIGHTENED it just a hair; backed out easily then. So all fluids and assemblies finally drained, filled, tested. Going to try and get more backroad time this coming week. Meanwhile, installed a transfer case LOCK light. Used 16...
