    Changing fluids on cooled differentials in my 1165

    . All because of the Sand Box Wars? Because it was miserably hot over there? Because the trucks were overloaded with the addition of armor that they weren't designed to carry too? In some places, Afghanistan is pretty dang cold... Maybe different trucks that had and did not have that...

    Drain coolant Qs

    . For sure MarcusOReallyus ! Replacing hoses in the back yard - possibly under a shade tree - with a cool motor is ever so much better than on the side of the highway in the boiling hot sun.

    Functional wheel valve after CTIS removal (?)

    . Good information to have! AND those Monkeyjack valve adapters would be cheap insurance to have in the truck any time. Small, somewhat inexpensive and not something you could buy at the average parts house!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . Nice! You cut down your problem area by 75% so now you have something to focus on. I'm not sure if the run-flat could bunch up of not. I would think that the truck would see the shake come and go according to your speed if that was the problem. Airing up to 50psi is a cheap fix too. Just...

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    . I understand the inside for the day. It was cooler and muggy this morning - now it is HOT and muggy again. Not as hot as earlier in the week but still not a lot of fun without trees to hide under. Thanks for looking at the bulbs when you get a chance! I like the armored lights. Getting...

    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    . Good Deal! Yes indeed, there are those who know everything and there are those of us who try to make an educated guess. At least you have the leaking valve problem solved now! Those new-to-you LED lights look good. If you happen to have the old lights inside, could you pop open the...

    71DeuceAK's M929A2

    . For Sure! Same with inside and outside. Long years ago, my house was that way. Outside was so nice. Inside looked awful. Inside was gutted, re-plumbed, re-wired and new everything else. Over a year long process. Then as it was slowly being finished, the outside looked worse and worse...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . Go down the the road again and see if the shaking is in the steering wheel or in the seat. Maybe moving a tire from the front to the back will make a difference - or at least help you discover where the problem is. You might also lift the front of the truck and block it up. Then use a 3#...

    71DeuceAK's M929A2

    . Yes indeed. Bad press even with the nit-wits handling the news these days - bad PR would be all over the airwaves. It sounds like your truck was in about the same shape as mine. I have been steadily using WD, then going to wire brushes and rattlecans. It has been getting better all the...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    . Guessing you have a plan for a controller on the elements below the batteries? Max Temp of 212f might be a little warm without something to control them. Would be interesting what you picked for that job.

    Changing fluids on cooled differentials in my 1165

    . I don't know the answer. The TM's should have what you need to know. Before @Action posted his update, I was typing the standard answer for water in the oil in the pumpkin and that definitely has to be looked at. In a regular differential, a drain on the bottom will let whatever is in there...

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    . Dang it! That thought ever even crossed my feeble mind. You could be right on it cucvrus

    . Congratulations on your new-to-you truck! It looks to be in really good condition too. Welcome to Steel Soldiers! It is extra nice to have your other half as excited as you are. So, now to the book work... Books are here and free to download...

    Oil leak on front of engine

    . That's Great! You are raising the next generation of MV enthusiast and him helping turn wrenches is really good. Congratulations. So dad... Now that I am working on the truck... Can I drive it now? Huh? Can I dad!? :cool:

    . Agreed that we all prefer nobody touches their stuff. None of my business, but please be careful. Kids will be kids and you can't undo something if one of them got hurt. Prevention is cheaper than standing beside a hole in the ground.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    . Neat Idea! It looks like the condenser is mounted on the roll bar out back behind the curtain. Opinions are like other parts, but some sort of cool air on a hundred degree day has to be better than none. Lots of folks with steel trucks report that they report in a cool and comfortable with a...

    Windshield Glass Size M813.

    . NDT - Is the DOT etching of any significance compared to "just plain safety glass" ? Because if not, Binswanger here in town - just up the road from me sure would be neat. The current smoky look might take ten years off the look of my truck...

    New to the game

    . Welcome to the outfit Farmboy79 ! There are quite a few folks on this board that know answers to your question. Hate to admit that "it ain't me" but if you hang tight, the guys in green will show up soon. :)

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    . Ha! That's great. I was a little concerned that maybe I had fallen off the wagon when I pushed the POST REPLY button.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    . Phoenix77 ,I am thinking we slipped off into the deep end of the pool. Believe that 19Detail was referring to a Star Wars (Han Solo) bit. Still, if it fits and you are happy it can't get much better than that. Oh, and my son and daughter in law would be proud that I actually knew that. Both...
