    Noise on deceleration

    Pull the upper outer plug that accesses the 3/8 bolt that secures the end of the half shaft...make sure this has a lock washer and is tight. If the lock washer broke off, it falls in between the hub casting and the upper outer bearing and destroys it...seen it many times. That's why you must use...

    Vehicle ID

    m1025/26 as I said...has newer 6.5 motor, as can be seen from the GEP sticker on the valve cover, plus the motor is all black, indicating rebuild. The other dead giveaway that's it's at least authentic is the rocker Panel armor, can't tell if it's basic or supplemental from pics, but the X doors...

    Anybody rebuild their injector pump/replace throttle shaft seal?

    Way to much of a PITA to get it in and out only to find the work you do might not fix it and your right back at it putting In a new pump. Bite the bullet and get the pump rebuilt. I leave some things to the experts...injector pumps is number one on that list. You should have a 4523 or 4524 pump...

    WS wiper park issues

    That's what I'm thinking...just don't have one to compare too. My wipers sit at the very edge of the lower WS. once on, they work fine...but they don't store back to the same rest position. how far down do they start and stop? Is there even a final rest position when off?

    WS wiper park issues

    Anyone have issues with the windsheild wipers not resetting to the rest position when turned off? My positions seem to work, intermittent, slow, fast, but when turned to off, rests in almost the upright position.

    Generator gauge not at white line

    Let me add, I have 3 or 4 trucks with 200amp gens installed, none of them sit on the white mark...normally below or above.

    Generator gauge not at white line

    There is no adjustment on the 200 amp...its fixed the gauges don't read exact...the 60 amp can be dialed in. just start the truck and check at the batteries...will be 27.5 to 28.5. just needs to be a few volts above 25 or so volts.

    Overturned HMMWV in NJ, stay safe folks

    your a Mog guy, that's cute, but it don't float my boat...the HMMWV is a late 1970's design...the truck involved was a rag top m998...you ever seen an M151 roll over? I have...several times in the last 30yrs, ain't much left of the jeep, much less the occupants. Not to mention M35's and anything...

    Electrical gremlin

    When these wire burn up, they Grenade internally, they can look fine on the outside unless burnt really bad, it take a good cooking before the insulation melts away and exposes any bare wire. The way to tell is to see if the insulation is really soft. the other problem is of the wire burnt in a...

    FMTV Fan Clutch Repair

    That fan clutch works on the same principle as a HMMWV, what happens to them is the 3 internal clutch pads kind of fuse themselves to the housing...before I install even NOS ones into a truck,I air them up and beat on the back side with a dead blow hammer till you see the unit separate, it only...

    M998 Hmmwv tach installed.

    The mods should really create a new forum for the HMMWV as they did for other vehicles on mods of a particular vehicle. a sub forum per say....if it ain't NOS and in the TM's, it belongs elsewhere. FWIW....

    Once it went dry you will have to bleed the brakes again...the front Res is for the rear brakes, rear Res in the fronts. plis fix any leaks that caused it .
