I respect your marriage and commitment to family, but never work on a car while wearing a ring. If it gets crushed your finger can be lost. If it gets snagged your arm can be lost. Things I’ve learned as a trauma surgeon PS- great job on the broken bolt

Wow. Let’s do the timewarp. I’m expecting Tim Curry and Meatloaf to make appearances. 1.5 decades old thread brought back to life like a Halloween Zombie. OP last seen 2012. ElkyRacer last seen 2016. You need to search as this is a super common topic. It could be anything from blocked one way...

I agree. My experience is that usually they shear off and are loose. A Dremmel and a flathead work really well. First time I did this was 30 years ago when the support for the Z arm on my manual 1979 trans am sheared off flush on the engine block. Garage wanted to charge 1500 to pull the engine...

Use a Dremmel with a flat round cutting wheel to cut a straight slot across the top of the remaining bolt and twist out with a flathead screwdriver. I have posted about this method before. It works great! If you need more torque on the screwdriver, attack a vice grip to it perpendicular to the...

While I kind of see what you’re saying… these vehicles have a special history unlike Chevys. While Chevys were converted to military use, Hummers were a military vehicle converted to civilian use, initially by Schwarzenegger. Only analogous thing might be initial Willys Jeeps. And rather than...

Chili pepper and spray made from chili peppers is AWESOME!!! Needs to be reapplied after each rain storm.

Mechanically, Hummer and Hummer H1 are the descendents of and are identical to the HMMWV, so why not create a sub-forum for those of us who own both Hummer‘s and HMMWV‘s? Why not create a sub forum here on Steel Soldiers dedicated to the unique problems of the civilian Hummers. I am specifically...

Before extraction, I might use some taps and or acid to clean the threads before using penetrating fluid. It might be nice to use plumbers acid to eat out some of that rust prior to trying to use an easy out, in my humble opinion. If you already used penetrating fluid, heat from a blow torch...

Japanese chopsticks are more ornate and more pointed. Korean chopsticks are more often metal to symbolize wealth. China invented the chopstick and they are more square.

Building your own batteries or are you building a fallout shelter? That’s a lot of Pb. Wear gloves and a respirator buddy.

I decided to just use a USMC exhaust on my Whipple supercharged Hummer. Gonna install this weekend. I’ll post results. Same 6.5 engine and frame and body BUT civilian electrics.

You were shown this link before, but I guess you don’t want to save $. Best of luck. I’m out. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it.182560/

If the diaphragm ruptures, fuel can mix with lubricating oil and cause premature engine failure. I will be replacing my pump in my M 1165 before taking it on any adventures. Maybe that’s overkill, however the pump is probably 15 years old so seems like it is preventative maintenance.

RWH constantly tells us to remove the check valves IIRC.

ModMafia makes Blue Hummer safety spindle nuts. Dave Breggin sold the company to them. They should both know. They are on the hummer network... H1 and HMMWV section. https://hummernetworkforums.com/

Welcome. I like thread locker for essential nuts and bolts. Spindles can loosen and fall out. You need to inspect them while you change the fluid. And before I forget… nopics 🤣

I missed it, and I guess that is funny, but Germany has price clubs and mechanics too.

Mog… Given the laws in most states are that you can drop off batteries for recycling and you can drop off waste oil for recycling and you can drop off electronics for recycling at local price clubs, why wouldn’t you just drop off the shocks? Just trying to be your friend and advocate. The...

I would take the simple route, and drop them off at a Sears automotive repair shop or at a local mechanic. Let them deal with it. Local price clubs have auto shops. Sam’s club, BJ’s, Costco, Walmart super center.

Are you trying to run the truck on old fuel that has been sitting and might have water in it? JP8 is military fuel IIRC..
