I've seen a few NAPA numbers bandied about here. AR135, AR746. There's also Autozone starter relay #AC40. The original#15591718 is still listed for sale on several sites. Try CARID, its half the price of Glamazon.

I thought I would add this from the TM ; NOTE; Original starter relays on vehicles prior to July 1985 production were defective. The point gap inside was too small causing starter to stay engaged. Vehicles produced after July 1985 and the current starter relay in supply system have a wider point...

I always just test my GP's with a test light, if it doesn't light..replace that one. I wouldn't buy Wellmans, they're known for swelling issues. I use AC60G's. They like a longer burn time, but I use a manual push button, so it's non-issue for me. On removing the GP's, I use a 1/4"ratchet with a...

Really? I am not aware of any compression ratio difference between the C-code and J-code. They should both be 21.5:1 Can someone in the know, chime in here..

Once its running does it fire right up again and only not start if left overnight? Probably a leaking fuel pressure sensor on the back of the fuel filter base. If you stop for the day, go around and crack your fuel cap, to release the vacuum. Mine would fire up in the morning every time, until i...

The starter drive gear always looks good, its the flexplate teeth that get damaged. You'll have to rotate the engine with a socket to check all the teeth. Mine started grinding when the starter bushings got too worn out, this causes the armature shaft to drop and then the alignment between...

I have all 3 installed on mine. had to source them from a wrecker. There are several different lengths on the motor mount to bellhousing braces. Couldn't find the right size so bought a set, cut them and welded to shorter length.

I've seen the punch method on Youtube vids. While I'm pretty good at applying 30 ft lbs by hand with a ratchet or even 100 ft lbs on wheel bolts. But how do you ensure 160 ft lbs with a hammer and punch? Maybe I don't have your experience as I've never done it. I'm aware that experienced...

Its a guy who works in the movie industry, Humvee was rolled, he needs to peel parts off to run it and check it out. Then pull it. Yeah, its been a couple of weeks, he's busy. don't want to pester him. So it will happen when it does, nothing I can do about it.

Alright... so I will need to swap my intake manifold with all the CDR plumbing over. But I can use the IP, lines and injectors. This motor is low mileage so I would use its IP, as mine.. although still running good has 200,000 miles. And the water pump? I read that's its the same rotation as a CUCV.

" has the original ball joints" - hence a M1009. Must be the heat here coupled with the long hours and commute but it seems I've overlooked a fairly simple explanation for the sound. Brake pad starting to squeal. Been looking for my hub tool, cant find it. Looked thru my bills from 2011. I...

Questions regarding a 6.2 out of a Humvee, that I might have a deal on. Its low-mileage and in a running vehicle, guy will check for blow by. I know brackets and pulleys need to be swapped from mine. Oil pan needs changing, how about oil pickup? Water crossover pipe is different with 2 outlets...

Didn't drive it today. Going to tear it apart in the next few days. When I say lube, I mean all 4 trunnion seals purge until fresh grease comes out. Takes a bit of pumping and lots of grease to clean up. but pays off in longevity, especially on drive shaft u-joints. This truck still has the...

Not sure what it is. Seems to be from R front end, happens at slow speed when turning wheel, seems rotational. Not happening in straight line. While inspecting, noticed there is a new leak from the axle seal. First I thought ball joints, but its sounds rotational, bearing? seal ? Axle u-joint is...
