I just replaced my rear brake pads, while i changed out the rear differential output seals. The fun part was reaching the 9/16" upper caliper bolt, and then rotating the piston with large vise grips while using the compression tool to push the piston back in. This is different to any brake job I...
Make sure the battery is disconnected when you are hooking and unhooking that thing, you can fry it.
I would clean the pins somehow, and then use dielectric grease when you reconnect it. Add a ground wire to one of the studs too.
I took one out last week, its a GE 1251. The base has one conductor on the bottom, and the sides have two posts that twist into the receptacle (bayonet style?).
Quick note.. don't try and take these out or put them in while the light system is energized, even wiggling them can cause some nice...
Looks like the guy who built it has a tv show in Germany called Steel Buddies, and they rebuild military vehicles, watched parts of it and it looks cool. I wish I knew German.

Doesn't show it in action, just still shots, but it looks like they import from the middle east and rebuild them.
I found an unhooked cable that should be plugged into a spade connector on the driver side of the transmission. I'm assuming this is for the kick down? Any reason it may have been unhooked? Should I reconnect it?
Anyone replace this in the truck, does the steering gearbox have to come out?
I read you have to remove the pittman arm, then the 4 bolts on the cover, then it should come off with the shaft.
I'm going to baby this thing to get some life out of it. Dedicated battery, keep the winch in the bed, high and dry until I need it, and I bought a snatch pulley so I can reduce the stress on the motor when winching.
Are you running yours off the vehicle electric or a separate battery? I...
My setup worked pretty good today. As we were leaving for the day we came across a stuck Ford Explorer. The truck they were using to pull it out was spinning and not able to get good traction. I parked the hmmwv in front of the exploder and pulled with the winch from the rear. It's a slow pull...
I trust it when it is working. It moves like an oil pressure gauge should, low at idle, higher at higher rpms. Sometimes it just drops to zero and it just needs a love tap.
