Famous quote "You have to ask yourself... Do you feel lucky" Or something like that. I have had surplus tires 3 - 4 year old on my truck. No hot rodding, rock crawling. Just easy beer run stuff. Twice now, failed great looking tires, full treadl, still with mold tits (can I say that?) air...

What you have is a 14 year old tire. Go slow... it's ready to blow, CAMO

Drilled out all the twist locks on the back of the "B" pillar. Never did like them and of no real use in my helmet top rig. Took a 4 foot length of 3/4 X 1/8 aluminum strap. Centered it up where I wanted it over all the 1/8 holes and transferred a few locations to the strap. Placed 3/8...

Real ones are real, CAMO

Read lot of stories about tires. Many trucks / trailers came from auction with Goodyear Wranglers MT/R's, 37x12.50Rx16.5 LT, those big fat bad boys. How about sharing the date codes on those tires that your running from auction or surplus? It's the 4 digits in the oval on one side like 2215...

There are three electrical temp sensor. Each one is for a specific use. Not connected / independent to any other electrically. Cold start advance to IP = right side rear engine > switch. Fan control - Time delay module - Solenoid control = Water crossover > switch. Temp gauge = Left...

Can you kindly guide me to the money tree. Be clear little brother, CUZ you're all over the place. ;):giggle: At home with cabin fever and HumV, CAMO

YEP. Many times. Mostly when Mr. Goodwrench tries to put a pump back on. Thinking the pump levers rides on a cam, it goes bad from there. What happens is this little harden push rod slides slides down and is hidden behind the adapter plate. Goodwrench slaps the pump in, meets a little...

On this same note of belts and alternator... Something to check on any 60 AMP rig. Make sure that the front and rear mounting ears (lower ones that it hinges on) have the thick spacer (item #21) and that bracing straps are in the right places. When tightening the long thru bolt. If you...

Pretty much normal. It is normal to see the belts driving the alternator (top side) to be flopping / whipping what looks to be slack. No worries. At idle diesel engine banging away is not a smooth continuous power and belts start a harmarmic dance between engine firing and the three phase...

IMO, Might be more trouble that is is worth. When I see the gauges from the HumV tool kits they all look new ?? Huh Three belts are going to be stinker to dial in if not a matched set. Go with tight and no slipping, slapping and squeaking but not so tight to overload the spinning...

Maybe an On / Off switch with the elongated top hole? Guessing for a flashing beacon light. Could be anything, CAMO

YES, It's part of the kit. Closes off the gap / opening between body to top of bumper. I did and like it. May require little roto file action to line up, easy one minute job. Rivet and done. To do or not to, it's up to you, CAMO

Thanks for the follow up. Colorado gets snow? Be careful and manage one's confidence / control in the big bad ass, go anywhere Humv. They can be a little squirrely in snow / ice / slick conditions. Know your rig and double check the others moving about. Guess any rig can get sideways, CAMO

Great ! On the road again. Changed a lot of stuff, but what was the real problem. This inquiring mind just asking, CAMO

Looking at the two, they both do the same thing. Top one HumV standard and it too as the check valve / flapper on the end. Bottom one looks like NASA built it for the space shuttle. Either one should launch a HumV. What's in your wallet, CAMO

NO. Parallel circuit. The length out of the wire loom may not reach to one or the other plug. Take the shortest path, CAMO

We all know are HumV have some built-in idiosyncrasies or just plain dumb not well thought out design IMO. After a new to me, first time going over, what stood out was "How the heck do you change the belts (easily) with that darn hose in the way (hard). Who thinks this stuff UP! More of a...

The in-tank fuel filter, sometimes called a sock or strainer or that dirty thing ie in the tank part number R12338556 is a one time purchase that after thirty years ( figure one dollar a year) shouldn't be a deal breaker. Looking around the web I see them for 24 to 56 bucks. IMO, not a bad...

Block, mask and SANDBLAST. I blast most everything I build or rebuild. Etch, prime, paint and WAIT. Fine something else to do. It can be a bit tricky and best to disassemble to the component level, But I have done it on vehicle when necessary with time saving results. Something about...
