I don't normal do shout outs but I think Federal Military Parts deserve one for their glass.
I ordered it from Bezos as it was cheaper with shipping than their own web site directly. I ordered on the 24'th and it arrived on the 1st- so shipping from MN to FL in a week over a holiday weekend is...
I was advised by a friend that applied carpet to the floors that it would gather mold, and you would get the smell and perhaps the dreaded black mold that is a health hazard. So he removed the carpeting he installed. But he fords his rig.
I don't ford my rig, or at least never have yet, so I...
Well I called around to glass places near me and I was surprised that 3/8" glass, either tempered or laminated seems to be a special order thing, meaning as expensive as ordering it online. Nothing even close to sub $100/window. Maybe they have to order a large sheet to cut up? So much for...
You have a couple of choices.
I just used a generic bumper mount bulb housing and installed a 24V led bulb. I had to install one of those reverse switches in the shifter as mine did not have one, and I had to run a wire to power it from the shifter.
I saw a post where another forum member did...
Gentlemen,
Thank you for the replies. But now I am a bit confused.
5/8" thick is called "supplemental". I am thinking this is the "bullet resistant" stuff? I assume there is a special frame and gaskets for that thickness. I do not believe I have that.
3/8" thick is "standard". I would just...
Hello,
The four X-Doors I have a some de-lamination. I have been doing some searching, and it seems that the least costly source for replacement glass to solve the de-lamination issues for all four X-Doors is Federal Military Parts. A set of four Grey Tinted Unframed Replacement Glass Windows...
To be honest, I really learned that I suck at trying to make up custom interior stuff. This is my 3rd attempt at the radio tray, and I am going to make another version in the winter after the Florida Inferno subsides. I want to move s rocker switches more forward as they hit the radio shelf...
I put this on about a year ago and it has been working just fine.

I kind of like the guidelines so I left them on. I believe you can easily disable them by cutting a wire. I mounted...
Not that I am going to try to do anything more to further aggrevate my glow plug broken situation, but I did a bit of searching and when you search on Duramax glow plug stuck or broken, you get a LOT of information that is interesting, but not applicable to the HMMWV.
You can get a air hammer...
The consensus of the knowledgeable forum members here is to leave these two glow plugs alone, and to not touch the remaining two others that I stopped at. Since I live in the Florida inferno it starts fine except for the smoke. I successfully replaced four.
I kind of agree with them as I can...
:ditto:
I have used the Lubegard Shudder fix on the A8 GM tranny for other problems on another platform and it did work. But just use straight ATF here.
A couple of pointers.
If you don't have a pan with a drain, which you should, now is the time to add one!
I could not find any Dextron 3...
Thanks guys.
I agree, best to leave those two alone as it will start and run now. I am afraid if I mess with it I will transform it into a non-runner aua I have two more that I have not touched which I will look at next.
Just got back from three shops and they all wanted to remove both heads and send them off to a machine shop to have the two butchered glow plugs removed. One said he would not be interested to R&R the heads, and another said they were too busy to tackle head removal. Diesel Truck Shop & Repair /...
