They Goodyear Wrangler RT2 are 36x12.5R16.5 They are the older bias ply tires used on the Humvee (replaced by 37x12.5R16.5 Goodyear MT radials). They measure on the smaller side (the ones I had were about 34.5")

The torn one should definitely be replaced at some point. Without the boot, grease doesn't stay in the ball and socket anymore, plus dust and water can more easily get inside and cause further wear and tear. When it comes to steering parts, when in doubt...replace it. And you might as well...

Oh gotcha. I think it was just poor wording in the O.P's post. I think he meant he had to do a resistor bypass today because the resistor fried yesterday.

It's receiving direct 12v power. The resistor (big black metal thing on the firewall) drops the power from 24 to 12v before going to the glow plug relay. It's a good mod to do to prevent the glow plugs from burning out and swelling.

I replaced the worn-out, dented, steering stabilizer with a Skyjacker 7055 stabilizer. It works great. The steering feels much better now. I wanted to get a dual inline stabilizer kit, but I didn't want to spend the extra $100. I also replaced my speedometer and fuel gauge with ones from...

Wow! Nice turbines!!!

That is so tight!! :beer: Where'd you get that?

This week, I finished removing the passenger side radios that I'm selling to another SS member. ---I still have one(1) MT-1029 mounting base (for use with an RT-246, VRC-240, or RT-524), and two(2) MT-1098's (one with an interconnect box and cable). I also, have the full VRC-53 radio setup...

Broke my glow plug controller card taking it out. Guess I have to bypass it now :lol: Friday night my truck was very slow to start. Wait light would come on for the usual amount of time, but my truck cranked for a long time before finally kicking over (like the GP's were never or barely...

You can make it work. The previous owner of my 1009 put the newer style of wiper motor on, intermittent wipers, and the newer type of windshield washer pump.

Fixed. I was happy it was a cheap easy fix! :jumpin: The valve core was leaking. And that just so happened to be the last thing I checked on the tire.

Haven't done it yet... But I will be taking the front wheel off and checking the tire for a leak... the **** thing is flat aua Either way I found a set of the same BFG MT's on CL for pretty cheap...so hopefully the guy still has them if my leak is not fixable...

I adjusted my shifter linkages. Solved 4 problems at once. The shifter wasn't lined up right. The speedo jumped around. The odometer didn't work. And the trans wasn't shifting right. :jumpin:

I made a cold start video (it was on Tuesday, coldest day so far this winter). It was 12°F (-11°C) and the truck wasn't plugged in. And here's a video after it dropped back to normal idle, after about 4-5 minutes.

Truth... :? :lol:

Get an NV4500 5 speed manual trans. Then you really don't have to worry about all the stuck valves and stuff. And you get overdrive, and 4 other gears.
