    What is the substance on the inside of the Hummer/other tires?

    My old -34 says: Lubricant, runflat assembly, use with radial tire part number 89307-2. You might try searching for that and MSDS sheet. It comes out pretty well with Dawn soap and warm water. You are correct, the packet ruptures when runflat contacts tire and reduces friction to keep temp down.

    M1008 rifle barrel holders

    My M1008 came with the rifle barrel mounts removed. A local club member found a M1008 that was being parted out. When I drilled out the pop rivets I did not notice that there was any difference between right and left. Well, there is a difference which I discovered after installing. I used...

    Oil Stains on CARC, how to remove?

    new ohio guy

    Welcome from Texas. Agree with all the electrical advice. Review the TMs. None of us knew anything about 24v until our first military vehicle. Any chance of rodents gnawing on wires? Good luck and keep us up to date.

    Removing CARC

    Used Citrastrip and covered with plastic wrap in sun. 24 hrs later it scraped off with razor scraper. My thanks to whom ever suggested this. Will wet sand to blend edges and then prime and paint. Great web site!

    flat tow HMMWV

    Never flat towed. I have driven 65mph with no problem but not with run flats or bias ply tires. I would expect some balance issues so would stop and check fasteners such as lug nuts etc. I am sure you will check geared hubs and differentials before starting. If you have the early parking...
