I'm keeping this vehicle and would like to find out your thoughts on the frame reinforcement. (I did a couple of searches and either the reinforcements were down a ways in long threads..)
I've seen the Predator and the "duck" reinforcements.
Today, I heard from someone who says that a SoCal...
Just changed the coolant in mine. After three flushes, I still have rusty water. I had to switch out the heater valve anyway so I ran the Prestone Cleaner through and then pulled a couple of hoses. A good amount of rust still in the hoses, also in the heater core intake.
What drained out was...
I am ok with my heater since I live in SoCal except for one thing: The valve on the hose is very stiff and barely moves with even me using pliers. Anyone know of a source for a replacement? (1989 M998, 6.2)
I installed my kit. I spent more time getting the rusty engine cooling system cleaned out (and it is still a little rusty*) than I did installing the kit. I have not been very systematic w/rt checking performance before and after because I don't have time. Here's what I did notice:

Last night, I drained the radiator. Orangish and rusty. I'm figuring two or more flushes to get it clean.
I did this primarily to install the coolant kit that Derek sells but getting out the rust out is now a priority. Scope creep I guess.
Plus 5 for this one. The HMMWV was built to to be adaptable. Not a single model, not a single use or objective. Much of the technology is rolling into future models. As for mods, where this post started: When my wife and I couldn't stand the seats, we modded to have very safe and more...
In a word, yes. I put the springs on the seat posts for that reason. I am still going to have to change out the springs to something with more coils. The ones I purchased are long and then I cut them down. I will have to experiment. Unfortunately, I don't have the specs on them. Bought them at...
I liked the fact that these seats had five-point harnesses so I thought I would buy a pair. I don't know if I would recommend them based on the difficulty of installing them but I like what I am seeing as an end result. I believe the truck will be safer, have better rollover protection, and I...
I pulled the halfshafts about a month ago. Was ready to put them back in. Unfortunately, when I started putting in bolts, the plate on the disks had shifted (due to weight).
So, my hip tip is that if you pull your halfshafts, leave in a couple of bolts so that you are correctly lined up.
I am...
As to the overall design, looks like a slot for a single phone. Wondering about drink holder, misc. stuff you might want out in the open, way to hold a phone while displaying a map, etc. I like the side doors.
