All in fun gents. This is a public forum, right. If I rub ya the wrong way, sorry, but it's who I am. I want everyone here to have fun and keep their rigs rollin'.

Son, you know that is a military vehicle, right. Efficient and Economical we're both designed out of it on the rough draft. I am no bully so please, ask whatever you want. I have dealt with a ****spreader full of balloonheads during my years so please forgive any gruffness. No malice intended...

First, apologies to Erasedhammer if offended. 98G, correct as usual. My attempted point was, JUST DO IT, fix the thing and post it Proudly in "What I did . . .". You did exactly the right thing by servicing after immersion. ( I presume you fixed the vent tube). So cool, you fixed...

I second,or third, what was said above. NO LIFT BLOCKS on front solid axles, E V E R ! I think I saw the O P say lift blocks were NOT part of his equation but for the masses. I would accept the plan if the main leaf and perhaps the next one or two were left in place, and the...

Cool. The 109 was my initial thought but I am planning to live in mine full time and I found a very nice M820. More space for an old man to ramble around in at night.

Looks good Champ173rd. You gonna keep the box and build it out or replace with something else ?

With all the problems you have with this vehicle, might I humbly suggest that you either go and get vocational training in automotive repair, or sell your HMMWV and get something more reliable that someone else can work on. It seems like every time you touch something it becomes a major...

Karl kostman, one drop won't hurt but I recommend either nothing ( clean and dry threads ) or ARP - 100-9909 Ultra Torque. The ARP compound offers a slight anti-seize capabilty as well as allowing accurate torque. Highly recommend for alloy wheels on anything (including in the seat area of the...

I think Marvel has a comic book version if you'd like. TIRED MAN versus the LUG NUT !

Sorry for glomming ideas from you Deucers (name is meant to be complimentary) since mine will be the Big Sister version. (M820 expando van) Please forgive the intrusion. KE5AFU, where did you source your water cleaner ? I am going to and fro between a $5,000 Katydin at the high end and a...

I thought my parents bought me that cool gold metal-flake helmet when I was 7 because it looked awesome. Little did I realize until years later (when I still had active brain cells and some of my colleagues during that time no longer did) that I had made too many trips to the E R . The helmet...

Well then, I already advised you what to do. Use the information at your own discretion. If you doubt their safety, replace them AND replace the lug nuts also. I would also recommend replacing the affected studs as they were overtorqued also. It's a system. All items were involved.

Sounds like they want to sell you wheels. Yes, this can happen but it requires ridiculous over-torquing (no one EVER tightens lug nuts with an impact gun, right ?) many times (motor pools always use a torque wrench, right ?). Do the nuts allow you to SEE any of the tapered seat on the wheel...

You sir, may join my engineering battalion any time. Easy though, I do not believe it would be. Worthwhile if one drives the vehicle a bunch ? ( I know many on here actually USE their rigs commercially, Kudos to them ) ABSOLUTELY. It would take a whole lot of trial and error, design and...

Wait just a dog goned second !!! You mean there are resources that one can look up and use BEFORE getting on here and starting ANOTHER thread about something that has been covered many times ? Holy pfefferneuse ! :deadhorse:

If incorrect, I apologize, but I am pretty sure the steering wheel end is Standard GM spline and thread. It just doesn't have the stupid lock plate. If that is correct then ANY aftermarket wheel should fit. I like Grant because their adapter is about an inch and a half thick. So unless you...

Lowering tire pressure, AND RAISING, to match the load is absolutely the best, fastest, and easiest way to make your truck ride and handle at it's ultimate potential. The KEYWORD is L O A D. Increased pressure with no load will wear out the center of the trad more rapidly, ride more...

simp, I agree with your first two points. That's why a lot of people here know it as Pennsyltuckey. I don't make (or agree with) some of the laws, but that doesn't relieve me from abiding by them. I had to sit "out of service" for hours waiting for Penske because they put a drive tire on the...

Looks good man, and don't forget to outen the lights when the barn yer leavin' ! Ach du leiber ! :-D
