First pull the dip stick and see what color the oil is. What temp did you run max? If coolant is coming from the weep hole you may be ok. Go step by step before thinking of the worst. The most I ever do is 65 on the speedo and I usually keep her at 60. Don't panic yet. Mark

I used one of the M37 setups but mounted the tire inside. Mark

I had to change out the temp sensor in the block. When cold the injection pump advances the timing for the injectors. Mine starts fine now and the sensor was like 35 bucks and easy to change. Mark

With the 37" tires on the HMMWV I would be real nervous to run without run flats. It's a long way down to the rim and could cause real problems on the highway with a blowout. Mark

Yeah I have to agree. They sit too low so I am going to get some very low profile lights to mount there. Thanks guys. Mark

That would be worth a bit of coin to a person restoring an old Sherman. New in the crate I could see 20K on up to whatever someone will pay. Good find! Mark

I am showing my age as I had to look that one up lol Mark

Installed a pair of military lights to use as backup lights. Just running off a toggle for now until I setup a switch on the tranny shiftier. I still have 13" of clearance under the lights so that is not a problem. I sure can see backing up now :) Mark

Ok but where are these contacts? Middle left right? Thanks again. Mark

Just where is this switch as I now have this problem.. Mark

No not at all. The light bar must be blocking it. I may make up a bracket to run over the lights to protect them but honestly I have not done much with her off road. The cool thing was since the amps are so low I did not even have to wire in a relay. Mark

Why sure. Could not find these for any kind of good price (average was around 40 bucks each) so I looked around had them shipped right from China. I paid $9.00 each plus shipping but now it looks like $5.00 each plus shipping and a ten unit minimum. Took about a week and a half to get them...

Just finished up installing the new lights on the light bar. Had to shorten the fording stack to make everything work. These units put out some serious light and only draw about 4 amps for the six of them. Really pleased with the look and operation. Mark

Oh my, I don't have that bracket. Looks like I have to order one of those. Thank you very much. Mark

It is a huge heavy starter and secured just at one end. With all the bouncing/shock there is a good load on those bolts and if over tightened it puts a greater load in tension on the poor bolts. If there was a bracket at the tail end of the starter they would probably never break. Mark

You mean the bracket that covers the nose of the starter and covers the flywheel access? If so then yes I removed it to move the starter far enough away to get at the bolt tip. I used a piece of wood and a jack stand to keep the starter up and out of the way. Mark

Well they are grade 9.6 hardened bolts witch is equivalent to our grade 8 bolts so you really need a real hard drill to cut it properly. People usually don't use cutting oil when drilling and this is a huge mistake as with the cutting oil the bit cuts easier and stays much cooler and lasts a...

UPDATE! As talked about it was a starter bolt namely the out board bolt. Was able to move the starter out of the way just enough that I did not have to disconnect the electrical connectors. was able to drill out and easy out the threaded portion of the bolt by using a new cobalt drill bit with a...

Found the bolt below under my truck. Not 100% sure it came from the truck. Bolt is about 4" long and has a 9/16" head. Please help id this bolt. Mark

Well thank you. I get many compliments on the color. It is a slightly darker WWII Panzer color. We came up with it for my buddies 712M Pinzgauer and liked it so much I painted my M101A2 trailer with it and then when I got my HMMWV I went the same route. Have been very very happy with the...
