    A/C Diagnostic help

    Looking at the gauges, that looks low on refrigerant, if the compressor is running. You still have an electrical problem though. Instead of a meter, I would rig up a 24 volt lightbulb with long wires on it (solder the wires to the bulb if you don't have a socket) and use that for trouble...

    Humvee Steering Issue

    My 2 cents. If you are getting enough pressure to move the tires when you rev the engine, then your pump is not putting out enough when at idle. Could be a bad pump, or leaking relief valve. Does the Hydroboost work ok? What happens when you pump the brakes while at idle? Are all the high...

    Transmission cooling line popped off while driving

    Could be bio sludge. Several years ago I was in Wyoming, and filled up at a Safeway in Laramie (apparently you get what you pay for). As I was driving over a 9000+ foot back roads pass towards Colorado, the engine started sputtering, and I could barely keep it running, by keeping the pedal on...

    Transmission cooling line popped off while driving

    I would match the hose to the hard line. Using a hose that is too large will cause too much deformation and stress in the rubber when tightening down the hose clamp to get a good seal. That will lead to an earlier failure of the hose.

    Stuck tie rod ends

    I would almost bet "they" bent the rod ends wide open, and just pushed in the wrong ends, then clamped the hell out of them. No worries about cross threading anything, just "compression fit" everything. Curious, what did the threads look like after you got them apart?

    Stuck tie rod ends

    Are you applying enough heat? There is way too much paint left in the pictures. All that paint and the boots should be toast.

    Procedure for removing headlight buckets where bushings break off.

    Do you have enough room to get a Dremel with cutoff disc in there, or a nut splitter on the nut? Or, run a hacksaw through the center of the bolt, right through the nut after pulling out the bucket. Brute force may not work, and damage the fiberglass. Do you have the metal reinforcement ring...

    M1123 A2 Power Steering return line blowing off

    Correct. It's nondirectional. I usually use the bottom as inlet, that way, any air will get pushed out easier, although at the flowrate I doubt it will matter.

    M1123 A2 Power Steering return line blowing off

    Check the hose from the top barb going to the cadillac valve. Make sure it is clear. Disconnect the hose at the cadillac valve, and blow air through the cooler and the top hose. If that is clear, and your new hose blows off, then you know that the problem is either the cadillac valve, or the...

    M1123 A2 Power Steering return line blowing off

    Follow the return line hand over hand and see if it is kinked or squished anywhere.

    Gasket makers

    Anerobics allow adjustment of the parts, until they are clamped together. Most Anerobics are very poor at filling any large gaps. They are for machined surfaces as someone previously stated. RTV's (Room Temperature Vulcanizing) sealers can fill gaps, but start to cure as soon as exposed to air...

    Can Wrangler MT be changed without disassembling 2 piece wheel?

    I run a bead of "Slime" on the inside of the O-ring before I assemble the rim. No more leaks.

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    The failed plug in the picture has seen some severe heat. Either too much fuel, or something wrong in the precombustion chamber, directing the detonation towards the plug instead of down into the combustion chamber. Do you have any way to disconnect the fuel line from that injector, and another...

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    You say "melted". Are they just burning out, or are they actually melted?

    I am baffled!

    It is possible that you have a 12K gear. Many years ago I wanted to increase the strength of my axles, and bought an 12K upgrade kit from SAX, which involved replacing the 10K gears with 12K gears, new bearings, and 12K axles. Both gears fit in the same housing.

    I am baffled!

    Check the washer that the bolt goes through to hold the shaft in the gear. If its deformed (or the wrong washer), and binds against the housing, it could cause the bolt to back out when reversing. Also check the distance between the bolt head, and the hole plug. Compare the left and right side...

    I just did a google image search on the picture he is using on his Facebook page. It is the same picture as the workshop picture on the "Military Truck Works" website. Look at the shelves, the lifts, and the sand blast cabinet. Our Shop | Military Truck Works I just sent them a message to let...
