. AND sometimes you just have to do it because it needs to be done with the tools you have. Before I had a gantry, I used a tree. Before I had a chain-fall, I used a come-along. Before I had an electric chain-fall, I used the manual version of that tool. Used to have a hodge-podge box of...

. Wow!! Congratulations Ken and pat Bertha on her gas tank for us :)

. Just want to chime in and agree that this is a lot of work for no benefit on a HMMWV. Agree with @Mogman that with the same "last two gears" being identical to the 4 speed version. You won't be going any faster with the swap.

. Not good, but a lot of members (including me) have insured newer FMV's. Keep calling agents. There are definitely members in NJ that might be able to give you suggestions. I have State Farm and have also used Farm Bureau. First calls to both places said no. Stupid as it is - keep calling...

. It's not because they wanted to... That Fat Tax is because the manufacturers of the shirt blanks add $2.50 or $3.00 per shirt.

. Not a bad looking truck... And the price is TWICE as NICE! .

. @ToddJK , that looks pretty good. It isn't a Navy wrap, but those are done with round rope. You mentioned avoiding a rope burn on a turn - so that is about the only suggestion I could have had to offer. Having an emergency supply of tie-down materials gives it more usefulness too. Made...

. Crank the truck. Air to full, then off the truck. Maybe you can hear it or maybe note. Get a spray bottle and use dish soap and warm water. Spray everything in sight that looks like an air hose or air line. Start up front with the glad hands at the bumper. Get the lines behind the grille...

. What about all 4 batteries as individual batteries? .

. Got to agree guys. From 3000 miles away, I can't quite understand the "offer" either.

. Yeah, but even though it is sad that the 4/5 jump is pretty crummy - having a clutch peddle alone is pretty wonderful. Promoted to the Lowest Level Of Incompetence - or - Incapable of Driving a Stick. Not sure which is worse and did the incompetence have something to do with why everything...

. Just because... Why don't you use a multi-meter and measure all four batteries? No need to disconnect anything. Just meter plus and minus on each battery. Possibly record those measurements here if you would. These trucks are notoriously "over batteried" and under charged. Strange things...

. Chucky, Nice pictures and adding that handrail is a nice safety upgrade to the brothel. Don't want to have one of those sweeties fall off the steps heading up to the stripper pole. .

. Welcome to the Outfit! Congratulations on your New-To-You truck as well. I gotta say that finding that seat bottom in the truck is a really incredible piece of history. @Csm Davis down in Hattiesburg might have even known Gentry and could share a little more about that truck with us... So...

. Their propaganda reads really well... Good for gas tanks and diesel fuel tanks according to the reading. It even mentions sealing pinholes and that it works on rubber membranes too. I personally have no experience with it to talk about. I've used Ospho because it was what I could find...

. I dunno... It almost seems like replacing all is the way to go when you are that deep into the engine. You know, new bearings everywhere, new sleeves, full set of pistons. Then again too - that is how it is supposed to be done - at a reasonable cost. Replace just the cracked parts maybe...

. Hi Rolf. The vanes in the pump are like a knife blade. Sharp on one side at an angle and that angle is about the thickness of the vane. Spring definitely looked good and the fluid appeared clean with no chunks of rubber from a failing hose. There is no spring behind the vanes. centrifugal...

. Ignore the Clowns. The FaceCrook clowns in particular... The 700r4 is a pretty tough unit behind a hotrod small block Chevy. I can't see how being in a 4x4 is going to suddenly make it junk. Of course there are idiots who could break steel marbles with a rubber mallet in a sand box too.

. These gauges are notoriously bad. More used to see what if it shows as normal today, then see it again in the same place tomorrow. AND if it suddenly is different one day - that might be a problem. A new gauge or sending unit or a cleaned up ground might make everything better. Sounds...

. With the batteries disconnected it might be worth a very light film of anti oxidation paste on the connectors - and then plug them in and out a dozen times or so might help if there is any corrosion in there. Just working to make an okay connection into a good connection. Might be better...
