    Attempting spindle seals soon... any protips?

    I'll swing by the auto parts store and check it out. I think those may be for the H1 nut though.

    Attempting spindle seals soon... any protips?

    Yea but a tool used for Dana axles and on GM vehicles might actually be available local. So that's why I'm asking.

    Attempting spindle seals soon... any protips?

    I did have that issue in the past, it was blowing diesel up into the air cleaner, and to the diffs/hubs. I've blown air thru the rear vent lines into a water bottle up front, just air bubbles, no obstructions, no diesel pushed out into the water bottle. Honestly i think this all came about...

    Attempting spindle seals soon... any protips?

    My truck has suddenly started leaking from the LF and RR spindles. The LR input seal on the geared hub is wet too. So i may be doing the input and output seals on all the hubs. I thought with all these leaks maybe I had a clogged vent line, but i can blow air from the rear hub vents, to the...

    Blew the upper radiator hose

    Yea I'm going to switch the large hoses out with new ones and keep the old for trail spares. I also plan on adding a few feet of random hose sizes to my spare parts kit. Do you know any other spots out here to off road?

    Blew the upper radiator hose

    Sounds good, that park is pretty laid back, everything is fair game except the motorcross area. There are some mud pits, some obstacles and hills to climb, and a jeep trail.

    Blew the upper radiator hose

    I was offroading and noticed the distinct sweet smell of coolant. The upper radiator hose split and there was a nice puddle underneath. I salvage some hose off a junk truck (thanks to the help of a friend i made out there), and was able to close the cooling system up again. The reservoir was...

    Upgrades to my HMMWV

    Anymore pics of that roll bar? Where did you get it, i'm looking for something like that.

    How am I not dead?

    I would be careful airing them up again. If they have internal sidewall damage from the heat, they could literally blow up in your face. To be honest if you put them through 160 miles of driving like that, i would strongly suggest replacing them. At the very least I would be splitting the rims...

    Kaydon Filter A910428 cross reference #

    I think the civilian setup uses a different filter and the military filter is the only option. I got mine on ebay, came with orings and the plastic screen water separator.

    Best way to check prime?

    If you are in Phoenix, and it is hot outside, it should start even if the glow plugs are bad. I'm in FL and I could start my truck after a couple cycles of cranking when I had bad glow plugs. So back to the fuel issue. Can you smell fuel from the exhaust, when you try to crank? Of you loosen...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Lol, let me get this straight, if i see someone speeding and they are on the road and have the right of way, I can pull out in front of them so they t-bone me and I get paid? Also, if you guys saw her speeding, why did you keep backing? Something seems strange here.

    HMMWV anti theft devices?

    If i was leaving for 9 months and had good intel someone was planning on stealing my truck while i was gone, i would probably remove the tie rods and the radius rods. Good luck driving or towing it anywhere.
