I believe that the 5/8" glass uses a thinner rubber gasket around the outside, so it fits the same as the standard glass does.

if it's all the way compressed and won't fit, then it's possible you have the wrong brake pads. There are multiple different 12k brake pads, and the ones for solid rotors are too thick to work with the vented rotors. EDIT: you wouldn't be the first one to order the wrong pads; I've seen several...

From what I've seen in the past, cats tend to get plugged up from excessive idling, so not really a worry with trucks that are actually getting used hard on a regular basis. I will say that unlike civilian vehicles, the HMMWV doesn't have any electronics that register the presence of a...

Not sure if we're allowed to agree with something like that on a public forum as it's technically advocating illegally modifying a vehicle to defeat emissions equipment, which the EPA kind of frowns upon.

halfshaft bolts are also open on the backside, so using split lock washers doesn't change anything there. You should use both locking washers (whether the split ring type or nordlock) as well as threadlocker, or use the locking bolt kit (it's kind of spendy though, so unless you foresee...

In the manual it specifically states that on the left side to remove the brake pads the halfshaft must be removed.

on the other hand, if you live in an area that is damp or go near saltwater, you might want to not use stainless rivets into aluminum, as the two metals are very prone to galvanic corrosion in the presence of electrolytic substances.

in the off road recovery world, this is where a kinetic rope would have been useful, rather than doing a dead pull with a steel cable.

GEP stands for General Engine Products. They are the ones that took over manufacturing the 6.5 engine when GM discontinued it. Same design, but improved metallurgy to deal with the heat soak issue potentially causing cracking in the rear cylinders. GM stopped production around 2000, so anything...

I wonder what else they have done to the cooling stack then, because just a few years ago they were burning up motors in a matter of weeks due to cooling issues when operating in the sandbox. I know many units added some electric fans to supplement the regular one and that seemed to help a lot...

it's rated for 70 amps continuous and 85 amps intermittent 12V, so 50 amp fuse on the 24V should be more than enough. As for wiring, it's always better to go oversized than undersized, but the charts I'm seeing are saying 10 gauge should be good with a 50 or 60 amp fuse if you're only running a...

the top is thick enough that it really does keep the heat from radiating through, so if I was somewhere with a lot of sun I'd be leaving the top on the truck and just storing the doors somewhere instead. When it comes new, it's a really large box. The doors come as complete units, so the box...

First step would be figuring out exactly why it's locked up and going from there. A little water/rust in the cylinder keeping it from turning over can be cleaned up and you could have a running truck with not much additional money. If you're handy with tools, well, you're probably going to have...

Should be easy enough to verify. When hooked up to power on the main lugs, one terminal will be hot, the other not. The not hot one should be the one that gets hooked to a switched power source in the truck.

Yes, there is a built in relay From the instruction manual (actually, this is the entire instruction manual) Number 4 on the list below

The battery is there to act as a buffer/power reservoir, so having 50+ amps of load for short periods of time shouldn't be an issue as long as everything is functioning normally.

How much does your truck weigh? My truck is about 7500 lbs and I run around 30psi on BFG Baja Load Range D You might be better at 20 or 25psi depending on what your truck weighs. Here is a method for figuring out what works best for you...

The thread I linked a few posts back was when I updated mine to the new style

As i mentioned before, if you're going for more than about 30 amps fused (so less than that actual draw) I would say install the Orion 70 amp converter and follow the instructions for wiring it, as it has the built in relay that you can power off of any 24V circuit that's hot with the ignition...

If you are okay with the ball being a little higher, you could switch over to a pintle/ball combination hitch bolted on, and not have the 2" receiver down there, which would allow the rear winch to work.
