The seals around my air lift hooks don’t line up correctly. Is this common? The hood itself looks like it’s on right, only that the rubber is off.
I’ve looked at new rubber and they don’t appear to have any play in their mounting...
I have not really looked at any of it. And my knowledge of AC systems is about zero. I was searching for the TM first. But, the box in the back seat, there’s one black hose connected, and another opaque hose that is missing a hose clamp and should be connected to an elbow. And the fan...
Is there a diagnostic chart in a TM for the ECV style AC system? Specifically the rear AC units like in the 1165 or 1151?
The rear unit doesn’t work at all, and the fan for the front unit blows air but not cold air.
Lastly, do these units use common enough parts where any old auto shop...
For any NYers who have had their truck inspected… did you have any trouble with the state smog tests? If the motor is exempted I’d imagine it would fail? Older trucks might be exempted from the testing due to age, but newer ones would need to pass , right?
My top right doghouse clip doesn’t work and never has. I’ve fixed it and jimmy’d it and replaced the spring clip think but it just doesn’t work. It’s like it’s a half inch short or something?
What gives?
Is there some super secret secret to getting it to work? Any suggestions other than the...
I plan to use Durabak on my interior as they have a smooth option without texture. If it goes well I will use it on the exterior too. If not, I can get raptor liner in 685 desert tan on Amazon. Problem will be ordering enough, but not too much. So if anyone can give me an idea on quantities...
I know many of your cringe at the thought, but still.
For those of you who have painted a truck in bedliner:
- what brand did you use?
- how much material did you use?
- did you do a hard top and/or doors too?
- did you do inside as well? Again how much material etc.
- what prep did you do to...
Oh yea I was looking at Raptor brand. Or perhaps Durabak as they have a smooth option.
I was mainly asking about your prep - I’d love to just power wash the carc paint ha
I’d love to know if your “only power washing” method has held up over time?
Unfortunately it’s only the interior- I want to spray the whole exterior of my humvee
Are those the bungs that fill the - for lack of Better term - antenna wire holes??
I was hoping to fill those holes with an LED light and wire them for reverse lights but, I can’t find any the right size so, those bungs would be next best option.
I am welding the top to try and close up lots...
Some of it is more a welding application but I had thought of adhesives. I would have no idea what products to use tho. Or for example if body filler/Bondo could be used, or even fiberglass resin, to fill small gaps if pieces were just butted and bolted down
I cannot weld aluminum, so I called around to a few shops. One of the shops that can, thought that the Humvee had magnesium in the alloy? I have no idea- what’s the alloy they used on the body? I’m talking about the body itself and the top on my 1165.
Anything else special I should know...
