    Catastrophic Ibis Tek tow bar failure; snapped like a twig.

    Too bad, I like the idea of the 60 lbs, maybe that why the auctions are full of them . Can you please post a picture of the failure?

    Hello won a auction on some 105 trailers Now I need someone to haul them

    Was down at Indy on Friday to pick up a 105a2 , Those 5 tons are huge, I thought about making a bobber out of one but after sitting in one they are too BIG. One the plus side my 105 had new leds on it. 8)

    My 1988 HMMWV

    I would try putting it back to stock timing , you might be adding fuel at the wrong time in the combustion process and causing it to not be burnt completely. Good luck with it, I'm jealous , I have always thought one would be cool to own.

    My 1988 HMMWV

    6.2, or 6.5, how does it run? I would do a cylinder drop test and find what cy.l is causing the problem, you just need to find why the fuel isn't getting burnt.

    Rear Main Seal replaced - now more leaking

    Was the Input bearing loose or bad? it looks like something got some play and let the shaft rub on the oil groves inside the release bearing tube/housing. Those groves keep the oil inside the trans , make sure they didn't get ate up, or you will be doing it again . good luck

    trailer lights from 24v to 12v

    ok, thanks , what ones are you all using, just thought Id use what I had around. don't all military trailers use a dedicated ground? well maybe not all civilian trailers do, good point .

    trailer lights from 24v to 12v

    Normal silicon diode has a voltage drop between 0.6–1.7 volts each , stack a few button type in a metal tube and your good to go.

    trailer lights from 24v to 12v

    ok, we all know diodes drop voltage , if you put the right amount in a row and use a metal tube to hold them in place , it should drop the voltage to 12 volt or around that even 14-15 would work. If you got a pigtail like Artisam said and a trail plug for the other end. Then just put one...

    trailer lights from 24v to 12v

    Has anyone tried putting diodes on the ground side so you don't have to put one set on every hot wire? i can't see why it wouldn't work???

    Whats the big deal, if you have parts falling off your truck , what makes you think the DOT isn't in a town near you already watching and waiting ? I for one am glad they are out making the road safe for my wife and daughter, there is some real junk out on the roads.

    recentered FMTV's for deuces

    Yes , there are some expert welders out there that can weld rims just fine , just not me, I wouldn't trust my own welds on a rim to hold up to the off road torture . but there are many ways to do a quality rim, I love to see how others handle a problem .
