    Transport from Summerville, SC to Vista CA

    29483 to 92081, a VW Beetle Convertible. (Yes, non Military but there has to be other benefits to be a contributing member of this great forum!!! Need it moved within the next month. The upside is that is small and light? Will need to be insured. It is a 1969, a family friend is "sharing it"...

    Tuck this one away in the recesses of your brain: Modulator Cable Stretch...

    Kickdown circuit tested fine and worked. Very glad this crazy-priced thing which amounts to a small normally open switch worked. If the thing won't go into 3rd on its own, modulator first since the switch is normally open anyway. The modulator is 100% mechanical and the cable did its job if...

    Tuck this one away in the recesses of your brain: Modulator Cable Stretch...

    Thanks, that was not my issue. It was simply not shifting into 3rd when in drive. Have not checked kickdown yet. Just wanted to shift into 3rd normally as a start...

    Tuck this one away in the recesses of your brain: Modulator Cable Stretch...

    The end of a long journey. Bought an auction HMMWV stating it had a bad tranny and wouldn't shift into 3rd. I thought, ok, it's the modulator cable. I'll replace it. (After confirming with members here...). Drained the fluid, it was black and smelly and had water in it. Decided to rebuild, did...

    LEO/FD HMMWV Check List & Part Numbers

    The ones on the left are the correct Y to manifold gaskets (exhaust donuts). Fel Pro 60584. Previously mentioned donuts will not work - I bought them and tried. These are also cross-ref'd to a GM 454 engine if you want to know. How did we find them? The kid at Napa took the original to the stock...

    Installing Starters - Hip Tip

    My helper is just as feeble as I am! Instead, I traded a bout of crazy bad bursitis in my elbow for doing it myself. Totally dumb move. My elbow has been swollen for two weeks. (I have the strength but not the bursa sacks to support it.)

    Installing Starters - Hip Tip

    When you don't have a lift, the starters can be a bear. For a skinny ten lb weakling like myself, I used a floor jack and a block of wood to hold it up while I positioned the front horizontal bolt into the carrier before screwing in the other two. Before that, I had tried unsuccessfully to put...

    It was about 1300 or close to that.

    Appears to be a few at Yermo waiting for demil

    If you are referring to the ones which have two horizontal windows, many of them are "paddy" wagon but they don't have tops. They're essentially reinforced troop carriers. I had to take a second look myself. I am assuming that a few of the rear areas have tops but I couldn't tell for sure...

    Appears to be a few at Yermo waiting for demil

    From Friday. More than a few Hmmwvs waiting on demil. Many had the steel boxes with windows. I guess those get cut up. One of the employees said that many of the MWOs were applied in 2009 and the engines looked and ran perfectly. Here's what I noticed: There were a boatload. I couldn't tell if...

    Lesson learned during Transmission Rebuild - U-Joints

    I've made it a practice to replace U-joints when replacing/rebuilding trannies. There are two different types U-joints! They both have the same caps but what connects to the diffs are larger in format than the others. All of my U-joints in the most recent project were shot. I didn't hear them...

    Scrap versus Resale

    Thanks. That gives me some hope that I can get around to selling some of this stuff.

    Scrap versus Resale

    Blk Hmmwv - do you complete the form online or go into the store to get it done? (Asking for a friend.)

    Scrap versus Resale

    Have you shipped Fastenal from CA?

    Scrap versus Resale

    Lastly, would love to use Fastenal - but they won't do SoCal!!! So many opportunities lost - since I restore old trucks.

    Scrap versus Resale

    Damage was constrained to left front. From the feedback, it appears that I'm going to be a bit more careful about exercising Mr. Milwaukee. My general plan - always - is to get it back into the community - hence the question. Thanks all!

    Scrap versus Resale

    (Not a sale advertisement, apologize for the length...) I have a donor M1037 I have been stripping. I bought it as a wreck for $2,500. It is was pretty beat up and I've gotten loads of good parts that I am likely to keep as spares as well as sell. The front driver's side was smashed. So...
