    ECV Engine harness to an A2 body harness, what needs to be changed?

    There is no such thing as an ECV engine harness per sey...it's just a turbo engine harness, the body harness is either A2 or ECV. The turbo harness will not have a crank position sensor lead, they moved it into the ECV body harness.

    How many more HUMVEES for sale on Gov Planet?

    the problem is it takes one idiot to screw it all up for the masses....case in point, the entire US Navy is prohibited from consuming alcohol in Japan due to literally a few losers. So now, everyone will suffer....

    A secret source told me that GP Will buy back all the trucks that anyone paid over $500.00 for so that the buyer does not lose any money....it's part of the IRonclad guarantee and the roll out for an even newer warranty campaign called "No customer left behind" :roll::roll::roll:

    Water / Solvent CARC texture

    Both the type 9 and the water based are pretty smooth, but that can be controlled through the size of your tip. The WB CARC does require an activator, the solvent based singal stage CARC does not, you can reduce it with MEK or acetone. I personally only use the solvent based, as it is cheaper...

    Geared Hub drain, inspect and fill. How to?

    Let me add something for the newbs, this lock washer everyone refers too is not the problem, it's the fact that they went from a single bent tab to secure the spindle nut to a spindle nut that has 2 tabs bent over to secure the nut....so just checking will do you no good unless you know what to...

    Geared Hub drain, inspect and fill. How to?

    i can't say I recommend filling the hub through half shaft bolt access hole is the right thing to do...that's is why there is a fill plug on the hub plate, and it only gets filled to the bottom of the fill plug. you are also leaving a lot of old fluid in the hub by not draining from the drain...
