    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The stock springs on the m1165A1 are perfectly fine IMO…the variable rate rears are the same as what’s in an H1, the fronts have 2k rated springs. The only person making springs worth a sh*t is Mike Hoffman out in Chicago. As far as your Cepek adjustable shocks? Don’t waste your money…but your...

    Log of… a whole hodge podge.

    I have had at any one time 6 or 7 of my own trucks, but that ebbs and flows as folks always want to buy my personal trucks even when not for sale…everything has a price, im not married to any one truck, I had an H1 for 19yrs….eventually I just sold It, I get bored quickly once I’m done it, I...

    brake shudder question

    Brake shudder from the rears after new pads and rotors is quite common, it’s a real PITA to convince customers after spending a bunch of money this is normal…beveled edge on pads is some help, but unfortunately with these floating pads and a job done correctly, it just takes time to burnish them...

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    You said these are cheap amazon Glow plugs, Have you metered all the other glow plugs to verify they are actually good? I’ve seen these cheap GP’s look fine….but are dead as dead comes, no swelling, no nothing. looks are not a test…using the meter is the standard.

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    I’ve responded to this on FB…this is quite simple to TS, pull the GP lead and run the truck as normal, if you aren’t getting a melted GP? you now know it’s your EESS box is the issue, IMO it’s the box…your GP timer is stuck on and 24v is present after 9 second. i suspect all the other GP’s are...

    Ok, will do my best to explain the ”blue” wire is tied to 29t which is ignition switched, when wired direct it powers TCM, with splitter it also powers AFES. it can also be on the 2nd trans relay that is to power the WS de-icer I generally remove all of it and just have 1 Trans Relay. The...

    don’t get in a hurry to buy inferior knock off parts…especially on these aftermarket kits. I Suggest going on the FB forums where many folks I know sell OEM soft top kits.

    B- pillar support bracket for m1151a1

    The black post is a structural support and the green cover is a not only a cover but connects the lower B-pillar support to the roof B-pillar. I guess you can do anything you feel is justified.

    GEP 6.5 non turbo valley drain

    As you can see, look how thin the tube is as it is flattened out so it doesn’t hit the flex plate…literally a small amount of sand or debris clogs the tube, it’s actually impossible to keep it clear under normal operating conditions.

    Log of my M1165. Project Joshua.

    The problem with following the TM is, is that a lot procedures are old and outdated. using the term “glow plug controller“ for example on late model trucks, because it changed to a Temp sending unit and the term ”GPC” is no longer valid, same as when they refer to PCB “Protective control box”...
