    Odd Hmmwv Transmission leak

    those leak too....there is an O-ring on the Modulator. just make it easy and check the tcase fluid level, there is no way to over fill a tcase...unless its sealed and getting fluid dumped into it from the tranny. its a 1min check. all you need is a large crecent wrenh or correct sise socket.

    Great, now what did I do? (w/pictures)

    ...if you have a crack or fracture, its worse at startup cuz the metal is cold and as the Metal gets hot and expands the crack or fracture closes up. If its a GLow plug issue it would happen at cold starts as it tries to burn off excess unburnt fuel.

    What does the White smoke smell like? How hard is the truck to start? does the wait light come on as it should for about 7-10secs? check all your glow plug connections, check all your glow plugs...or it could be coolant....and thats bad. It is NOT normal....

    I forgot to add....if you have A2 upper control arms, you will have to remove the upper ball joint to remove it, the newer control arm has a round support piece welded in...early version was just an add on that bolted on. if you are replacing the entire hub, you will need 2 new ball...

    Great, now what did I do? (w/pictures)

    Disconnect the tie rod, unbolt ball joints and its off...if you take the 4. 3/4in bolts off the control arm that the tie rod attaches to on the geared gun, you will save a rod end...most of the time the rubber boot gets destroyed removing ball joints and tie rod ends...it will swing out of way...
