Smart idea with the foam. Beats sewing new insulation panels bit by bit like I did. I got halfway and lost interest, it was so tedious. Please let us know how the foam works out. Esp. noise (in my case). BDGR

I thought that box was oversized, but the last picture explains it. Great googally moogally, that's a lot of wiring.

Excellent observations. My own experiences corroborate these costs and figures. Still, I enjoy this problem solving, and for me there is plenty of learning going on, which I value for the inspiration and challenges it presents. I expect even if I focused on additive manufacturing and ran my...

Agreed. I do that when I happen to catch the nozzle at temp, but sometimes it's cold and I'm lazy. But that's what spare nozzles are for, at least in my house :) BDGR

Absolutely. I have taken to running tool steel nozzles in both extruders now. You're not kidding about nylon's abrasiveness. I was playing with Taulman Bridge nylon a few months ago, and printed about a three hour job with it. Then I switched filaments and was having a terrible time with a...

Excellent points. I have played with GF ABS and that is pretty strong, and not too expensive. CF ABS and CF Nylon are next, but I want to be really sure before I hit "Print" because they were costly (compared to disposable or often on sale filaments like Amazon Basics or Sunlu). See you all...

Count me in. I don't have any sexy files to offer, but I can throw in a slave receptacle replacement cover I designed a few years ago. BDGR

Welcome! Those trailers are out there, so keep an eye out, you'll find one. Have you heard about the Graves Mountain Rally, which takes place over Labor Day weekend each year? Just west of Culpepper in Syria VA. You are invited. Bulldogger

Awesomeness, to your comment a few posts ago about cost as one reason to avoid nylon, I have been getting successful prints now for weeks using KAKO string trimmer line from Amazon, $15/Kg (strictly speaking it's $29.99 for a 5lb spool). It is true that my printer was a self-gift, and is more...

Wow! Looks brand new! Well done. Bulldogger

Anyone tried nylon for these parts? I'm printing plenty of functional parts with nylon now. It can be tricky, but I figured out its quirks on my printer (CreatBot F430, out of reach for some I admit) and can print almost anything now. Bulldogger

I used EZ-TCU for the transmission control and had/have few problems. Others used US Shift and it went well. BDGR

Check if it is a centerline, rear mounted turbo, or more typical side-mounted forward. Conventional side-mounted turbos will not fit in the HMMWV narrow engine bay. Sorry to rain on your parade, but I am not aware of a common rear mounted turbo civilian diesel truck. Bulldogger

Another member here tracing a noise not long ago realized he'd lost a piece of tread off the tire on the noisy corner. Could be lots of things. BDGR

They have come and gone here pretty regularly. Give it another month and some will be up for sale again, I'd guess. BDGR

Try the Hummer Knowledge Base for aftermarket cross-references. As far as Half Shafts, many have had good experience with those from Advance Auto / Autozone. They are the 10K versions with ABS sensor ring, which is not needed typically and some remove it. BDGR

I had trouble finding a garage to take it on too, until someone noted Jeff of Tactical Truck isn't very far from me. The civilian garages I called were scared of anything not like for like, stock replacements. They also didn't want to fuss with military wiring (Packard connectors, etc.) and...

I had an aluminum Champion installed recently, purchase through Summit or Jegs, I can't recall immediately. Holding up fine so far. +1 Predator is no good. BDGR

Good point Ajax. Yes, we should be doing most of the work, since that's the kind of vehicle it is (non-standard, no dealer support). I figured he was looking for someone to help on BIG stuff, like I did in seeking a professional to do a powertrain swap. Every day wrenching, no problem! BDGR

I replaced the foam inside some of mine, as TOBASH recommends. It's not too hard to open a seam on the underside of the cushion and replace the foam, then stitch it back closed. BDGR
