    H1's are back, kinda sorta

    Have someone in China buy one and then ship it here as a gray market import, they'll probably be on Ebay in a few months. I can't even imagine how many yuan it's gonna cost some Chinese neuvo riche jerk-off to buy a 25 yr. old HMMWV. But then we've been buying all the crap they have made for...

    storing my humvee for 3 months

    Yup. 3 months isn't long enough to worry about. As for critter traps, poison, screens and so on. That can happen overnight, if they are nearby you should be doing that all the time. Ever here the one about the cat that thought a water pump was a nice place to take a nap ? The battery...

    700r4 for a 456 geared 1009

    4.10's are just right for 33 - 35 inch diameter. Shorter gears would only be needed if towing heavy or hardcore off-roading regularly. You will find the first gear in the 700 much nicer also. Have them use the upgraded sprags when you have it rebuilt. I ran an '86 behind a 500 h.p. 350 for 2...

    Cummins 855 535hp Rated

    No disrespect to anyone, anywhere, but why does it always seem like a surprise to find an 855 c.i. Cummins that makes power ? It's a diesel. It'll make whatever power it has the air and fuel to make. Want 1000 h.p. ? No problem. Just make sure the internals are built to take it or it'll be...

    Trypoxylon politum and procrastination

    To stop fogging, apply some saliva (spit) to the inside, rub it around, rinse it off (with water). Old diver's trick The one's from H F are my fave.

    Spooky M101A2 camper build

    Agree with rosco (not that he asked for my blessing ;-)) . Make sure you tighten the lug nuts with a TORQUE wrench to the ft./ lb specified for the trailer. Doesn't hurt to recheck them before each trip for a couple times.

    M35 tires

    Gonna stick my neck out again, sounds like you are more interested in ride quality and on - road traction. Modern radial truck drive tires work very well. Imagine SUV all-terrains for a big truck. Tons of choices so I won't recommend any in particular. This would, however, be the most...

    Free craigslist fuel preparation

    Yessss, 250 gallons of free . . . oh wait, it just LOOKS like beer. Like I said above, if ya mix it with some new stuff, even 50/50 ya still lower yer fuel cost. The new will have plenty of algicide for what yer doing. I have used "old" heating oil many times. Just be aware that "the man"...

    Free craigslist fuel preparation

    Will it work, yes. How well ? Depends how long it's been sitting around. Mix it with some "pump fresh" and you should be OK. I always keep extra filters in the vehicle. Cheap insurance.

    M104 trailer for my M923a2 question

    Should work just fine if both are "as issued". I don't have any pics but there are many on here I am sure. The only "height" issue would occur if the stock wheels and tires on either the truck or trailer, or both were changed. If the truck has 395 tires or bigger the trailer will not sit...

    1997 M1078 Smoking Allison Transmission Selector

    Just a guess. Probably why it needed jumped in the first place. Glad ya only had to let the smoke out and not needing an extinguisher, or more. Check every circuit before putting the cables back on. Glad ya saw it quickly. To answer as asked, not in that vehicle but in others, yes...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    2cents The two fans in your mock-up pic are more than enough. If you want more, that's cool but they draw a lot of amps. I would wire one to come on with the A/C and both with the temperature switch or if they are two speed then both on low for A/C and both on high for temp. I also have a...

    Rear Left Hub - Lower Ball Joint Slightly Loose

    Yes and yes. And . . . do both sides, if one is bad the other will be by the time you get done with the first one

    Wiper skipping/stopping

    The switch IS the most likely culprit after the "pulse module" which you don't have. Grounding the purple wire made up for the ground through the switch. Are you choosing wires following the diagram ? Make sure you use the diagram. If you can jumper the wiring at the motor (don't remember...

    Changing out the coolant on the NHC250

    Some hard won advice : NEVER, NEVER, NEVER flush any system unless there has been a catastrophic failure with contamination of the involved fluid(s) -- Head gasket blows and oil and coolant try to mate. If the coolant is dirty, DRAIN what you can then refill with whatever coolant you...
