. I was expecting maybe a 55 gallon drum to fill that tank. When you mentioned 100 gallons - I was a little shocked. That was when I started hunting and found the number. Still, they didn't do a very good job of documenting the oil in my opinion. The heat / petroleum smell I guess could be...

. CONGRATULATIONS! Happy to hear that you entered and placed in the points :cool: Both are definitely nice looking trucks! Even better that they help support Military associated charities!! Now you have a reason to attend that event regularly too.

. According to the Lubrication Order, LO9-2320-272-12 Weekly, with boom in horizontal position, remove oil filler cap and gage from top of reservoir. If level is below full mark on gage, replenish to full mark. Every 12,000 miles (19,000 kilometers) or 12 months, whichever occurs first, remove...

. Yes Sir! Safety Glasses and a pair of Safety Goggles are real magic. Especially when something goes wrong!

. Because they don't teach themselves... That you are looking through the books is a GOOD thing. I have grumbled and said bad words and been generally grumpy trying to find the information you (me, I) are looking for in these TM's. The more you use them, the better you get at using them...

. Absolutely and For Sure! Something (M1088 Wrecker, M936 Wrecker, KR555 Backhoe, Anything with outriggers or a bucket will lift your vehicle to change a tire. I am always a little chicken though... Why not throw a block or two or three under the axle - so if a hydraulic hose breaks - you...

. Yes Sir @Ferretboy ! I am moving around and stirring up trouble :cool: I had hoped to have accomplished more on my little Ferret children, but it was hot and miserable. Then is was hot and REALLY miserable, then I had my trip to the hospital . All that got better and about the most I have...

. Mine has some "slop" in the shift pattern, but after the first ten or fifteen minutes that I drove it - it shifts like a dream. It isn't a Hurst Shifter or a VertiGate Shifter either. The pin that @G744 mentioned is a good place to look.

. Hydraulic Oil is pretty generic. ISO 46, 10wt is pretty much what you need. Tractor Supply is a good source in 5 gallon pails. Happens that I have a Shell Oil distributor about a mile from my place and I get 55 gallon drums of "Tellus" and it is as good as any. Lots of anti-wear agents in...

. Still, it is a cool idea. Except that is isn't a good idea. :-(

. Yes. What you are doing is removing the potential for sound. With nothing but the little brass bushings supporting the shaft - if you hear a squeak - you have a worn bushing. Yes, you could squirt WD-40 on the shaft but all you are doing is prolonging the problem.

. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. It is a pain in the backside, but anything attached to the aluminum body of the HMMWV should have two wires for every function. One is power. One is Ground. The TM gives you the wire numbers, but with some effort and a lot of time - crawling around under your...

. mgFray is definitely "spot on" about repairing before the bearings inside get "egg shaped" and the armature hits the stators (fields) inside. You can just about hear the dollars flying out the window when that happens. A good generator / alternator rebuild shop should be able to replace the...

. Should be good to go. Sleeves to bring the bore up to standard size is a good thing. Sleeves that conduct heat away from the bore should make the engine run cooler too. I personally think I would ask for my (your) .075 pistons. Doesn't matter if they are good or not. They make incredibly...

. If you really are losing the Jackshaft because it is coming unbolted - or if the U-Joints have failed - you really aughta hear a heck of a noise. That 8 or so pounds of steel slapping around in the transmission tunnel should sound like it is coming up in the truck to get you. . . Story Time...

. That sounds like really good news. Rebuilt can be as good as or better than new when done right. I am sure you have already - but it might be worth asking - What kind of Warranty does this specialist offer on the work that he will complete?

. Wow! Neat looking vehicle. Wonder if they started with armor?

. Maybe you get a reply... I just happened to notice that this thread is dated 2016 :-(

. That was a heck of a find! Very Nice...

. Can't say for sure, but that one little tiny thing holding that plate on the alternator... It is possibly a screw? Something that maybe you could take off and carry to a nut and bold distributor? TAPE IT DOWN to a card or something so you don't lose the only one that you have! Only other...
