I don't believe mine is working right. The wait time is the same hot or cold and the GP relay cycles the same hot or cold. Are they repairable? Can someone explain how it works? Does it also control idle speed?
Thanks
I figured out that the collar was on backwards also. That is in addition to having the spring on wrong so that the front axle was always locked no matter how the selector was turned on the hub. Both sides were the same. This truck came from GL, this was done by the military. It would be very...
The spring was assembled wrong, so the collar could have been too. I'm unsure how the collar should go on. The collar is built with a space on the I.D. should that space be in or out?
Thanks
I took out the screws holding it on and the spring was on the wrong side of the sliding gear. The hubs were locked all the time no matter which way the selector was turned. Now I'm not sure the gear was on the right way either. Can anybody tell me which way it goes.
Thanks
I have seen that 3 letter code too. I was wondering if that was enough for a locksmith to make keys on the 5100 or 5200 series? I have looked all over the truck for a hiding place but haven't found keys. Has anyone found keys hidden in their truck? My spare tire was locked up under my CUCV. A...
It appears that the passenger side alt pulley doesn't make quite as much contact with the belt as the left side, its a shorter belt on the right if I remember right. I did some sanding and it did help. I hope it lasts, if not I'll try sanding some more and get some cleaner on it too. One friend...
If you were to recenter a set of HMMWV wheels what backspacing would be best? I like the looks of them but I don't know how wide they are. Maybe someday I'll buy a set.
Thanks
Does anyone have a picture of the Toyo M55 on their truck? What kind of tread is it? Also is the 4.5" back spacing optimum for these trucks or would alittle more or less be beneficial for the rubbung issues?
Thanks
The problem with auctions is you can't go for a test drive. Be prepared to fix something. With GSA they get most of their trucks from some agency turnback. The agency didn't pay for it so they aren't going to pay to fix it. They give it back when it's broke and it goes up for auction. You will...
With a M1009 I think the towing limit would come from its short wheelbase more than anything else. Gearing, trans cooler, hitch all have an effect, but the short wheelbase, speed, and brakes are what will affect your safety. I towed another M1009 with my M1009 and a military tow bar, over 40mph...
I took the top off last june, 1st summer its been off and I really like it off, I'll put it back on when the rain starts up. I'll take it off again next summer for sure. With the back open, you don't get that oven when you 1st get in and the roof keeps the sun off. With the top on exhaust fumes...
The bidding did run over 15 minutes I think. Sorry I didn't bid again, I did think about it though. When this happens to me I just figure it's just not meant to be. I do know how you feel. I've been there.
4800 + the 480 and it starts getting up there. When the price gets this high the bidding isn't as likely about resale. Somebody wanted it for themself I think. I wanted it too but I couldn't justify that much. The winner must feel lucky hearing your story. Ft Lewis must have more of these. I...
I called napa they said the ST85 was continous duty and the ST80 was not. Unless anyone knows better it sounds like I can use it since my glow plugs aren't continous.
