Just the fact they are made in China is reason enough for me to pass them by. I would pay 4 times that amount for made in USA before I would support a communist country using our money to build up their military to use against us but I digress. I don't off road mine to the point of needing...
In another thread I mentioned an option to add a keyed ignition and steering column lock. I don't like the key/lock replacement for the stock ignition switch and have been wanting something different. I decided to buy the one I suggested to see if I could make it work. One of the requirements...
Tailgate update:
After taking the tailgate apart I was able to mostly untwist it. I would have needed a press to get the last of it out. I think it will be fine. I reassembled it and it's ready for paint. I was also able to straighten the hinge out with a large fine tuning tool. Now I am...
I'll tell you my thoughts because I thought the same thing as you.
I thought I would like to get a mating connector to be able to use some of the signals from it. For example, there is a tach sensor on the motor and the only place it goes it to the STE/ICE connector. You could tap the...
On a side note, I was going to answer your question on Queen earlier and forgot to. I've heard this question brought up before and I grew up listening to Queen. When I was probably 12 or 13 and just getting into Rock music, I had an 8 track tape player in my room and Queen was the 1st tape I...
After a little digging I could not find a rebuild kit for that unit. I did find remanufactured pumps but not the kit. I'm sure it is nothing special, bearing seals etc but you would probably have to source them individually unless someone else knows of a kit part number. I did find the pump...
I don't have the the Fording kit myself but I have read others talk about overfilling something and it getting fluid in the Fording Line. I think it was ATF from the power steering? But I suppose if that is a possibility there may be other possibilities that could allow other oils in the...
Not an expert here and have only had to change my hub oil once and only because it was new to me and I didn't know the condition or maintenance on it.
My thoughts, did you remove the filler plug first? If you did, is that when the excess oil came out? On the other ones I would pull the filler...
If you've never done something like this before, this isn't an easy one to start with. There is nothing that "bolts in" and nothing is "plug and play".
When I initially bought my HMMWV I bought a 2002 Chevy 3500 with a 88,000 mile Duramax the same day with the intentions of doing a swap...
