Redstone went smooth and uneventful for me. They do not want anyone screwing around with a truck, filling fluids and such within the yard (I can see their point). They will jump start you if needed, then you just get your stuff out of the yard gate where you can check things, air up, whatever...

I towed mine with an M818. Didnt need the brakes hooked up. :wink:

That is what I was thinking. Shop vac with duck tape.

Yeah, that price hurts but at least it is made in the USA. Is the damper even still available from GM?

I hate packing peanuts. Bubble wrap FTW :jumpin:

Good stuff, always has been. Farm equipment is brutal on oil. Glad to see someone here break away from Rotello worship. :roll:

The newer stuff (CJ-4) still has zinc in it, just less. I don't know about the other antiwear additives like phosphous. TBN numbers are less, but with no sulpher in the new fuel it doesn't seem to matter much. If you want the older spec (CI-4), just run Wal Mart SuperTech 15w40 Universal...

Got me a semivan trailer (thanks to Captain & Woody): This is an M129A2C and I really need to figure out the year made: a. Serial Number Reads Exactly-> US ARMY NX02BQ S/N 87 b. Registration Number ----------> (None Visible) c. NSN ------------------------------->...

Damn, Speddmon beat me by 1 second.

Look for the scoop on the drivers side, between the hood and fender. I thought about joining arfcom but the insanity of the GD section scared me away.

That is why I use a small 1 gallon fuel can and pour the fuel into the housing with a small spout. I hold the filter down so that the bottom is sealed against the spring cup, and carefully pour clean diesel between the housing and the outside of the filter.

I wish domestic fasteners were readily available at every hardware store. I would gladly pay double for this. Im the simple (stupid?) type of guy that goes into the store with the old bolt, looking for a matching replacement. :roll:

jesusgatos, I have no idea why these filters always seem to have incorrect washers. Are there any kits out there with ALL of the correct washers and gaskets for the fuel and oil filters?

It would also require a Soldier B to help shift.

OK, you said it was locked up even after you pulled it off? Then it freed itself right? Just makin sure I understand you. There is something seriously worn out in there. As far as the bolt goes, I would just use a BIGGER wrench and get some muscle on it. Thats what I did (I used an...

Check your grounds too. Ooops, already mentioned above.

IMO, unlikely. It would have to be one helluva flat spot (broken ball).

Hey, I thought these things were GI proof. ;-) Some clutch slipping is necessary when driving off road, especially with the low output of the multifuel (these don't have the 1200+ lb ft of torque at idle that a modern class 8 has). Unless of course you are talking about always dropping down...

Anybody know why they have a company policy of not selling any parts to US civilians? Quoted from their (AMGeneral) website: "Can the public purchase parts for Humvees or other military vehicles manufactured by AM General? No, these parts, as well as service information, are available only...

That big sliding gear is first gear. The rod sticking out the end is for the sprag. If your truck has an air shift transfer, it wont be connected to anything. The correct TM for top cover disassembly is: TM9-2520-246-34-1 (pg. 2-36) Basically, you undo the wire ties so you can unscrew the...
