    I need help with HMMWV 12-bolt wheels

    If you have the old first series 12 bolt 2 piece, they use a larger balck o-ring I beleive...the newer 12 bolt with the centering hole and the 24 bolt rims take a smaller red o-ring. dont confuse with the large o-ring used in the early 8 bolt split rim. what color were your o-rings?

    2 piece wheels

    You don't want to run with out a bead lock on the military rims....the run flats act as a bead lock. Not sure what the big deal is on split rims at shops other then ignorance....but I'm sure liability is in there somewhere. i don't have enough room to post the story's from myself and customers...

    I need help with HMMWV 12-bolt wheels

    NOt sure using super glue was a good idea....I have mounted more tires on 12 and 24 bolt rims then I can count, I persoanlly use Grease or RTV to hold the o-ring in place during assy. As well, I use regular nuts on the studs till the o-ring is seated so as not to vibrate loose from the impact...

But look for NOS if you want correct ones. the NOS are CARC black....the Chinese are blued and rust instantly on the outside...so paint them. there are 3 you will need...left front, right front and 2 of the same for the rear. The...

    Air Filter Water

    When you add a fording kit, the intake gets a large rubber elbow and the rubber cap you have, this prevent any water intrusion. Non fording equipped "army trucks" have no rubber elbow, they have a metal sleeve that screws to the body and the intake cap get hose clamped onto. The cap on the...

    What size injectors in a 1990 6.2??

    Short body....you can remove one of your injectors and get the number off of it. Either Bosch or Delphi. plenty of NOS out there, I would not bother with napa brand. At least. I never have.

    Issues with 2.56 ratio diffs

    Not sure what you mean about drilling the PS pump....nothing gets drilled for the fording kit...unless you men the PS cap which get at vent. Since it's the brakes causing the wheels to stop turning....as it should, and it's spinning when off, then the issue is when the pump is supplying pressure...
