    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Presumably all copper wiring in deuces. Aluminum is used in high tension power lines, and other applications not subjected to flexion or where weight is paramount. And also in inferior quality electrical items such as chinese jumper cables and welders.

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    While aluminum is vastly inferior to copper, it is not generally a poor conductor. 61% the ampacity of copper.

    809series tcase swap

    Which TM and where is this procedure described? Should I even consider doing this by myself?

    some DRASH trailer pics because someone asked me for them.

    I'll chime in. Another flavor of DRASH. This one has the tank as part of the generator, not part of the trailer. (I suspect the original question was "which trailers have onboard tanks?" ) This type is 20kW.

    M818 transfer case needed in northern Kansas

    Resolved. Tcase swap pending. We'll open up the dead one and see what failed and post details. Weeks to a couple of months.

    Transfer Case Cooling Loop

    With the propensity these things have for leaking, and the amount of badness antifreeze would cause if it got loose in the tcase, I would advocate heavily to change that.... Not that it's any of my business.

    rebuild cost? NHC 250

    No..... Look for a reman engine in a can before doing that. Edit to add screenshot. Not my ad, just one example for reference.

    "VAMPIRE" STRUCK MY HMMWV

    The cooling loop is not really needed. It may have some utility in sustained operation under high loads in desert conditions, but your tcase is unlikely to overheat with it bypassed. I probably wouldn't pull the tcase apart just to replace the cooling loop. Even though the cooling loop is...

    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    The offset is different. They stick out the sides more. Thanks, BTW :)

    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    Unless you articulate the suspension pretty severely, 16.00s won't contact the bed no matter how heavily you load it. Off road with the suspension all twisted up and they'll contact even with the bed empty. On road, you can load the truck as heavily as you like and you can't make them touch...

    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    395s would be my choice if you don't want to change wheels . They're just a bit shorter than the 14.00s you currently have. No clearance issues. The primary reason to get away from the 14.00s is cost and future availability. The military is still using 395's and 16.00's so there will be a...

    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    I'd change to 395's or 16.00's if replacing all 6. Any tire shop should be able to do it. If you have difficulty finding a shop that's willing, try the places that do heavy equipment or tractors.

    M1008 starter running-on

    My understanding is starter run-on is for sure a bad relay. So we have a pretty solid diagnosis. (Correct me if this is a misconception) If replacing a bad relay, replacing with a higher reliability relay is a good idea. Pre-emptively replacing the weaker relay with one less prone to fail...

    Tire age and cracks - Still safe or replace?

    Do you crawl around mostly below 35mph? Or do you habitually drive at highway speeds? The answer to the above would heavily influence my decision as to whether to replace.
