    Humvee Cranking But Not Starting

    The default for the clutch fan is on and hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump keeps it disengaged. If any part of the system fails the fan will stay on and cool the engine. Mark

    Need suggestions on battery powered impact wrench for Airlift and front winch install

    Surprised nobody mentioned the Aircraft Dynamics gear. I have the 24v Bradley impact kit and with the torque multiplier it's a beast. Great thing is it's all powered by the trucks batteries. I also have an Aircraft Dynamics 24v very heavy duty drill. Just had to install the slave plug. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    I have had zero issues since I went with the red top Optimus. I also swear by the Solarizer unit to keep the batteries happy. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    Try to pull it by hand first to see if it moves. That amount of water is a really bad sign. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    You can easily pull the engine over by hand with a wrench on the alternator. Go go slow and keep turning for a couple of minutes to make sure you've completed the cycles. If it clears the above test you may be ok. If it won't move then I would pull the glow plugs, spray in the holes with...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So am I to understand that the reason they went with these timed boxes is to prevent the driver from over heating the glow plugs via push button? Massive and expensive failure. Mark

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    Dot 5.1 is pricey and made for high performance brake applications. I use it in a car of mine with AP-Racing 4pot calipers. I would recommend DOT 4 for most uses and as already stated DOT 5 is great stuff but can settle water to the lowest point and rust out lines and is $$$. If you do change...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If you use never seize (I always do on my HMMWV) and if you are not in a marine salt environment it can be acceptable. I just hate rusted fasteners. Steel screws have problems also. A poly or rubber washer to insulate will help.. You do what you can. Mark

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    If someone walks up to the truck at night the camera sensors it and alerts my phone and when that happens a 200w 20K lumens flood light comes on. I wake up to any alerts like that and look at the phone and if need be I can shoot down the stairs to welcome my uninvited guest and welcome him. As...
