Best primer is the one the paint system calls for. It's not like putting furniture in a living room you've collected over the years - imagine a green shag carpet with a white leather couch, and a brown love seat you found on the curb 5 years ago, and a coffee table with bamboo legs and a glass...

We should fork this off to a separate thread...

First: define CARC. There are at least 6 different types of CARC available. Lead and Hexavalent Chromium was phased out of CARC before the Gulf War. There may have been some old stock around at that time, but for the most part DoD respects the shelf life (about one year from the date of...

Huh, even on cold mornings I have never had an aborted start (crank, release, no-start). I'd take out what-ever the glow plug saver is. Is your truck still 24v? If so, do you still have the ballast resistor? What glow plugs do you hve installed? Do they all work? What is the CCA rating of your...

And, yes it's good to check that in fact your hubs are unlocked for road travel. Kids get curious around knobs so if you drive and park in public it's good to check every so often.

Tape news paper around the stencils with painter's tape, then use magnets to hold the stencils tight to the metal. :beer:

I'm interested to hear your compression/leak-down test results. Does it not fire on any cylinders or not on a few cylinders? You mention an electric fuel pump - is the original mechanical pump gone? Is there any return fuel from the injector lines?

I always presume friendly banter first :beer:

So today I didn't get to completing the glow plug controller fix today but... I found a leak (class 3) on the transmission cooler line where it meets the transmission with the engine running - I tightened the fitting to spec but it was still dripping at one drop to ground per 30 seconds. That...

Not slagging, just a different role to play - I love big airframes too :beer:. '53s and '47s are awesome for heavy lift. '22s are better for light fast insertions and extractions. Like the difference between a Deuce and an M37... Could kill F35 and just keep F18s, F22s, and A10s...

Just from the V-22 specs... 428 Nautical Mile mission radius is 4.28 times what the CH-53 can do 270 Knots cruise speed is 1.8 times what the CH-53 can do In Helicopter mode, the max altitude of 10,000feet is 3.14 times what a CH-53 will do In Airplane mode, the max altitude of 25,000 feet is...

Thanks to the moderator Warthog for moving this thread to the "correct" forum at my request. Thanks for the suggestion - Wally had already done a spin-on modification when I bought the truck. I do know that I have a leak at the lift pump that I have yet to get at - but for the morning in...

Not a HEMTT, but another Oshkosh with a 8v92 engine at the limiter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-JDUzH2n-4 I love the sound of my '84 gillig Phantom bus with a 6V92-TA on the road - I have to repower it though for economy in its final usage. It did get 1.25MPG better economy than the 454...

Nope went "boom" then it slid into a curb... Memorable though. :beer:

In racing they call it "nutting and bolting" - every nut and bolt gets checked for correct torque (and lock wire if applicable) before they let the car or truck loose on the track. This should be part of regular inspections to at least see if any nuts are missing or loose - I've come across...

Corroded under hood connectors is a very comon HMMWV issue - both the PCB and Glow Plug controller suffer here...

Yeah okay - today it was harder to start the truck. I did 30 seconds of manual glow, but being below 40°F (4.5°C) and being in the shade in the morning she was bitter cold. When it turned over and sounded like it was firing on only 3 cylinders until I had done some after glow (3-seconds-on...

Don't expect much from them - they will not output focussed light with that type of LED: Even their own website shows how much worse the focus is - look there's no horizontal cut-off anymore versus the Halogen (just think of how much that's gonna stink for oncoming traffic!!!): :rant: All...

Looks really good - nice work [thumbzup]

Glad you were able to figure it out - double bonus it was a "Free" fix [thumbzup]
