    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    Should I also have to wear rubber booties to protect my shoes? See the paper towels on the ground that are covered with dripping paint? Did you have to wipe up a pool of paint from the top of the can? I know how to spray paint and I overstand value of the rubber gloves, I've also touched up...

    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    I've been using the Rapco paint on my Hmuvee and have been happy with the color match. However I ordered a couple of the spray cans recently and more came out of the bottom of the valve and all over my hands than came out the nozzle. I sent them an email to explain the problem and they...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    If you mean the water drain (?) sticking out at 7 o'clock, the old one has it also but you can't see it with the angle of the camera.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    My Air Cleaner assembly was in less than great shape. I bought a used replacement and it was in great condition. In changing it out I noticed a few things. First there are 3 clamps on it and only 2 of them actually hold it? Do all have 3 clamp and is one just a spare? On mine 1 is spare...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I bought a dipstick from a dipstick. I bought a dipstick for the transmission swap coming up, on epay. I received it and it is twisted, bent on the width (not the thin flat part) and in general poor condition. As I'm sure many of you know, when you push a dipstick into the tube it is pretty...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Couple of updates.... Before that I just want to say this is a recreational vehicle to me, basically just for fun. Sometimes it seems like it takes a long time to get something done or even seems like it isn't getting done. I'm not in a rush other than I want to drive it more but for the most...

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    This tells a lot. First Yahoo and Google are search engines and have nothing to do with ordering from the website. Second, you are on a phone and that is most likely your issue. The website might not be "mobile" friendly or your phone is old and can't do what the website requires. Ipad might...

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    I've ordered from there many times now and never had a problem. If you decide to try to order again, you could try a different internet browser as there might be some compatibility issue. I had 1 order that got slightly messed up and they were very helpful and resolved the issue over the...

    6.5L TD 4L80E Surging Idle when in Drive and Hot

    I'm not overly familiar with the EZ TCU but I am in the process of installing a 4L80 with a different aftermarket TCU. I have a reasonable understanding of the 4L80 and the function of the TCU. There are many possible causes but rule out the simple stuff first. Check the tranny fluid level...

    Need help identifying a part.

    Is that normally mounted on the transmission? I'm not using it but curious. Thanks

    Need help identifying a part.

    This was attached to the 4L80 transmission I picked up and I'm trying to figure out what it is and if I need it. The wire numbers are 290 F and 599 E

    HUMVEE Speedometer - Removing Old Decals

    I see where it could be confusing, I meant the manufacturer of the HMMWV. But you are correct.

    HUMVEE Speedometer - Removing Old Decals

    The lens on my speedo is glass. Lighter fluid is great for dissolving adhesive. That said, a new speedo is only $70 plus shipping. EDIT: I checked today and my lens is not glass it is plastic.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    If the most criticism you have out of the last 10 pages of this thread is the windshield wipers on the wrong side, I must be doing something right!

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    This weekend drove 1200 miles in 18 hours round trip to pick up a new transmission for the HMMWV. 4L80 and 242 transfer case. I've collected many of the other parts for the conversion and pretty much just needed the transmission and transfer case.

    Goodyear MTR tires.....?

    The problem is the 16.5 in a 37" tire. There are no good road options unless you change to a 17" rim.

    Please help settle an argument over tire size

    Measure the circumferance of the tires, if they are the same or very close it will be fine. Different tire manufactures can size tires differently and call them the same. Example, a 37" tire might be 36.5" at one manufacture and 37.4" at another. The 36.5" has a circumference of 114.6" while...
