by the way dont get it on your hands!! and put the plug back in as soon as your done, its takes about six hours for the stuff to set up so probably best to do in the evening and let it sit over night, I notice after driving on the freeway for about an hour and comming into a quiet house my ears...
well I finaly broke down and went home depot and bought two cans of insulating foam, pulled some of the hole plugs out the cab roof. I have em at the top of the door and above the front windshield "behind the sun visors" I put one can on each side front to rear and down the a pillar, this makes...
with my truck I was frying plugs even with it hooked up to the 12v block, thats why I converted to the civy controler with a 12v conversion and never looked back!!, I'd say get some 1/4" female tang connectors and some delco 60G's and swap em in
the lift pump was a brand new not vented type, I put in a new push rod as well, I did have to splice the hard line in a couple of places because I couldn't break the old one loose from the pump?? I would like to get a new one but I'm sure I anyone makes em??
Is this fitting on the top of the I/P I cant really place it, I have a rough idle and misses cuasing the whole truck to shake and vibrate badly, at elevation over 5000 ft she runs perfectly smooth I was thinking the pressure change might have affected the fuel return line ????
I noticed that the m1008 has a G in the vin (1gcGd) which means it has a 8-9000 pound hydraulic brake system! But the m1028 has an H (1gcHd) which means it has a 9-10,000 pound brake cappacity, I want to know whats different between the 1008 and 1028 to add the extra 1000 LBS. of stopping...
the rims are hmmwv 2 piece beadlocks look on ebay theres tons of em! the tires too! they have the same 8 lug bolt patt as the trucks, could use some 1-2" wheel spacers to get the tires out of the wheel well
the only welding was the threaded bungs into the frame rails, mosltly just cutting and drilling, I use a 4" grinder with a cut of blade that seems to cut quick and easy, a drill press would make the holes in the plate. I made my first winch mount for my jeep out of a flat piece of 3/8 steel...
so the basic kits hold up pretty well! do you have to get the heavy duty kit or 3/4 ton? the guy over at deaver said they have 1/2 ton springs but they wouldn't hold up, I removed my brush gaurd for a little wieght savings and better fuel milage!
as far as mounting a winch Freds army truck in petersons 4wheel is really the best way to do it , I think he used a flat mounting plate "jeep" style and used some bungs that he welded in to the frame rails to mount the plate, there is a write up on it at the website http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/
I'm saving up for a set of mastercraft sportsman series suspension seats, you can put in 5 point harness, and looks cool too
www.mastercraftseats.com you can get em in three color camo too!!
I went over to deaver spring the other day to get a price for some front springs, turns out they would have to make em from scratch to the tune $750.00 bones :shock: I was wondering if anyone has some input on a lift kit 4"-6" that has worked well "no sagging" good ride, I will be doing a...
the j code diesel and the turbo 400 are 3/4 ton and up, axles are 1/2 ton, I think they used beefed up leaf springs to push load capacity just bearly over the 3/4 ton load capacity?
THE HUMMER GUY:
The first thing I did "trouble shooting" my military system was to bypass the resistor and go straight to the 12v block, I remember the glow light coming on normaly but would get shorter and shorter as the plugs were dying off one by one, I went through two more complete sets of...
with a cv the slip yoke ends up at the other end of the drive shaft *see front drive shaft* you need to cut off the splined output shaft of the t-case and drill and tap it for a cv style yoke, I think there are people out there that make a kit for this I know of one for the np241 and the 208...
the cucv 14 bolt will swap right in, same pad spacing, the 60 in another story, with the 3sp 400 and 4.56 gears you start winding the diesel out at about 60 mph with 35" tires, thats quite a ratio jump from the 10bolt, if you plan on raising it up hacking out the fenders and running at least a...
I thought zero rust was now making drab and found out that the miltary only uses the zero rust black primer and does the cammo over that, I guess there is someone on the east coast making a product that goes by name zero rust but isnt the company I know of based out of oregon, so if you use a...
