I believe all the HMMWV caps are sealed, it depends on a vent line to vent the tank.

It is indeed unfortunate when anyone dies in an auto accident, one would think that at 31 he would have known better. Regardless my sympathy goes out to his loved ones. I do have to smile every time someone mentions the lack of safety features, my first car did not even come with seat belts...

Thanks, I have been using it for almost 50 years and it has not let me down yet. From their web site " Anti-seize is a lubricant that helps protect metal parts from corrosion and wear. " Certainly not saying there are not better products but considering the life this machine will have, as in...

I don't have a clue,. Other than one persons account of the history I have seen no evidence that a 24V alt/starter was ever fitted to a FAV and even then he said the FAV was converted to 24V not actually stating the alt/starter was changed or what was actually done and nobody I have conversed...

Just power out then in, releasing the clutch is not mandatory.

I have seen that photo, it could be a 12V-24V inverter a 24V-12V inverter, a battery isolator or maybe even a load balance device. The question I have is if the vehicle was converted to 24V why would any of those be necessary. Running the ign on 24V would be no problem, a simple resistor or 24V...

No the bars were way too stiff, there was not enough weight to compress the torsion bars, from the pictures I have seen of actual deployed FAVs that would not be the case as they were well overloaded, I did another write up about the bars, the FAV I have weighs less than a bug (1600lb), I ended...

Unfortunately much of the written "history" have many things that do not bare up to the actual evidence that is available. There are some photos of FAVs state side that have been equipped with things like the breakaway weapons mount, full set of radios etc that still had the civy lights but by...

This is what research and observation of my FAV have shown, this is by no means the final word on this. The entire appears vehicle is 12V, starter, gen ect. it had a switch that in one position charged both batteries off of the 12V alt. and the other would provide 24V for the radios etc. At...

So why do you care so much about what I call it??? I'm not going anywhere!

Both of the gears in the hub called spur gears and that is technically correct, if you live in the narrow minded would of the HMMWV only then I can understand, but the rest of the mechanical world understands what a pinion gear is. Even the folks that built it called it a pinion gear. EDIT: To...

You will find this info in TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 Look for figure 165

That "heat stain" is where the parts are hardened

Dang, I hate to buy 12 when I only need 1, maybe they will entertain ol Diggy Dog. But I have them on order, THANKS!!

The rear turn signal lamps are the same as the brake lamps so I would start looking at the brake light switch (signal also goes through the turn signal switch) Tail lamps are separate. Glad you are making progress, when you actually troubleshoot the problem you learn so much more about your...

OK so I got them reversed, wondered if I did that as it seemed like the A2 drag link would be thicker, they both came in at the same time and I opened them together on the bench. The drag link will be here Wed. THANKS!!

I just wonder if this is right??? I purchased A1 and A2 idlers. They are both virtually identical, both have the same casting numbers and the dimensions are exactly the same but for one thing. The taper is the same on both ball studs but the A1 ball stud has longer threads

I guess this shows when one makes a comment with the INTENT of making another person look stupid it can certainly backfire.

Did you put the suspect flasher in the known good truck?

I think you will find the answer here. You might try tightening the nut, if the nut is loose it may need to be replaced, that is one nut you do not want backing out on you. Or the plastic bushings could be worn out.
