The oil is black becauses of soot, common with diesel engines. My two cents is use Shell Rotella 15/40 with the Wix 51060 or NAPA 1060 (same filter) . You should see what the stuff looks like at 20000 or 25000 miles, and the oil analysis says its still good! Your pressure numbers look good. If...

Can not tell from your write up if you have already pulled the a arm bolts, if not once the nuts are loose it helps to spin the bolt back and forth with an impact wrench for a few seconds to loosen it up, they come out much easier. You will need the snap ring pliers to remove one of the rollers...

Put a fuel line out of the filter into a clear container , submerge the end in the fuel while cranking and see if you are getting bubbles in the fuel, indicates you are sucking air into the line. If not, my guess its pump rebuild time or at least have it on a test stand to eliminate it from the...

Action covered the ones at the tank. They are a couple inches long in the fuel line. My trucks also have one just before the fuel filter also. Greater authority than me says they can be tossed. Now is a good time to replace all the fuel lines. They are under suction between the tank and the...

Remove and clean or discard the check valves in the fuel line also.

If you have the panel in the floor to get to the fuel sender you might want to have a look in the tank also. ( By the way there is one bolt on the front of the fuel filter to take off, getting it back on is not so easy. I turned mine around and tacked the bolt to the bracket.) Your description...

I believe you need to 'remove' the filter housing and clean and replace the filter...... remove two hoses, 2 bolts to the fire wall, three bolts on the top, see whats inside. My two cents. When cranking you should get a decent spurt of fuel up from the pump as the engine turns over. Just my two...

Do not trust the gauge. Open it up and have a look see. Same for the fuel filter. A small amount of fuel out the hose when cranking does not mean the filter is good. If you have not changed/remover the filter now is the time to do so. Eliminate the choke points one at a time. I think you may be...

Want to make life simple??? Get in touch with Retired WarHorses on this site. See if Steve can set you up with something. IMO. A J

In the late 70's I learned to epoxy the inside of the weld. They would always leak, whether my welding or the "pro welder" . And NO they were not DOT certified. MY BAD.

Good enuff.......... rims can be widened ......... the world is full of fake nuts, a few more will not hurt a thing!

Why not cut the rim off the donor, cut the face of the HMMWV wheel to fit the inside of the donor???? Have it welded professionally (from the looks of your toys this might be right down your alley) Inspect often! Just sayin....

If I might ask"where are they shipping from"? Inquiring minds want to know!

Wix 51060 and the NAPA Gold 1060 I believe are the same filter (one of each setting on my desk now) each has a drain back valve. It is my understanding the valve is used when the filter is mounted sideways or even slightly downward to prevent oil drain back. HMMWV's are mounted sideways. You...

YUP, works. And he will likely have to cut the plug in two and push the remainder into the tank. Once they are in there for a few years they seem to be near permanent.

I own a bore scope. If you remove the fuel sender it's not needed. It might work down the filler tube but you have to disassemble part of the filler tube . Gets you further along the path to removing the tank. Diesel fuel and gasoline are two different animals in a fuel tank. STUFF grows in...

My opinion is the gasket under the metal plate could not be replaced thru the bed...... just my opinion. If you remove the fuel sender you can get a good look in the tank. At that point I believe you will opt to remove it. If you are in a nice neighborhood with gutters down the street flushing...

You can bypass the fuel tank to eliminate it with a piece of 3/8 inch fuel line , one end on the pickup side of the fuel pump and the other in a jug of clean fuel. (You can even drive around with this setup, jug in the pass. floor hose taped to the side of the truck. Don't tell anyone) If you...

Did the depot swap out the lower arms??? I swapped out upper and lowers on my 998,. The uppers were probably unnecessary as IMHO the uppers are along for the ride, the lowers look to do the heavy lifting.

Actually they put me on first on the ferry then put a full blown 18 wheeler behind me, I guess they needed a buffer in case the 18 wheeler got loose LOL.......... TIRE CHOCK
