    Easiest way to replace caliper lines?

    Ive replaced my fare share of rear lines, not difficult…you can sit up while in between the rear bumper and rear crossmember, access the “T” through the opening in the crossmembe, not from underneath.

    They can’t deny processing the SF97 with reassignment…those are official Govt forms and are notarized. you got the wrong person unfortunately….very common actually. US Govt vehicles of any sort will come with SF97, could just as easily be a van or car owned by Govt.

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    I read your OP…you melted your TDM because your Cadillac valve solenoid was bad, seen it, done that. There are a lot of Chinese knock off thermostatic switches on the market, even the distributors are getting screwed from suppliers who state it’s NOS, the Chicomm crap opens at 190, military OEM...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    you don’t need a toggle switch, just unplug the 2 pin connector to engage and disengage at the TDM. I don’t see or hear anything out of the ordinary.

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    absolutley typical of Eastern surplus, wait till you try and return something. Not sure why you aren’t shopping with OEM vendors such as HPG and Kascar. As far as pressure washers, I’ve been running my Home Depot washer for years, cost like $275.00
