Where I live it seems to only be cold enough to need the glow plugs in the morning for the first start of the day or the couple months of winter we have. I've already gone through one "smart" box and it's dead now too...and I'm wondering why I can't just rig up a relay to the glow plugs similar...

My hmmwv glow plugs are no longer working and I'm frustrated. At first, the light would blink the entire time during the wait period, but once it stopped flashing the truck would start, although running rough for a few seconds. I assumed and was told this was because of some bad glow plugs. I...

2 questions, most important being how can I manually disengage? With this hurricane bearing down I'm expecting all the usual roads here to get flooded much more than usual. How can I manually disengage the fan clutch when I need to drive through deep water? Is there a wire I just unplug and...

I just finally got around to putting a set of doors on my truck, and noticed that you can't really even see the mirrors when they're on. Is there a different mounting spot for hard doors vs soft, or just accept the fact that they're almost useless?

I've got 0 oil pressure showing on the gauge, and I'm guessing the sending unit is the problem. With the ignition power all the way off the needle on the gauge is below zero, and once you turn the power on the needle moves to zero, but starting the engine causes no additional change. It's got...

I have looked, but I've seen 85" and 86" from sidewall to sidewall. My trailer is exactly 85" between the fenders, and if the hmmwv is 86 then it's gonna mess up the fenders when I pick it up and I'd rather not do that. Trying to figure out if I should get another trailer or not.

I'm looking at purchasing a hmmwv but it doesn't have any doors. I've looked online but only found a few, and 2000 for a set of 4 hard doors sounds like a lot. How much should I expect to pay for 4 hard doors or 4 soft doors so I know what to budget before buying the truck?

I have a friend who's uncle has had one parked under his car port for a few years and he finally is ready to sell it. I've been wanting one and was hoping to get a good deal. it's a 1955, hasn't run in a few years, no top, needs a windshield, and needs a gas tank. What's a fair offer to give him...

I have a leaking wheel cylinder in the rear axle and I need to replace it. How do I remove the drum? I can't figure it out. I pulled off the wheels, and then thought it should just beat off. Nope, so I removed all the nuts I saw attached to studs running around the drum, still nothing. I've...

Well I started bobbing my 5-ton with my good friend and the help of his shop, Performance Innovations in Wilmington NC. We had been talking about it for a little while and then decided to just go for it. Boy am I glad we did. It's not done yet but it is already 10 times cooler. So here are some...

first off, rear springs. Can 105 trailer springs be used? I've got one I can use if it will take the weight. if not, next choice would be deuce front springs in the hope that they wouldn't be as stiff and ride better than 5 ton front springs. Also, I've heard people talk about rotating the...

I've noticed a few of the auctions I've seen on gl have this where i'm used to seeing UEC's Bidding Restrictions Non DLA Disposition Services Property:This lot is subject to specific Non DLA Disposition Services Property Terms & Conditions as described at...

I just purchased a 5ton with a flat tire. I've never had a 5ton, or a deuce, with singles on it before. in the first picture you will see the flat tire. My question is : is that tire fully flat or still holding some air? I would think that if it were at 0, then the rim would be on the ground...

What are a set of troop seats and bows worth. They could use a new coat of paint as some has flaked off, and the bows have fiberglass legs but the roof section is wood and most are broken.

***UPDATE:: Made it home finaly!!! I'm in Maryland stuck on the side of the road because I lost the belt that drives the water pump in my 9series 5ton . I bought a new one from a napa down the road and cannot get it on! Just to be clear, the belt I bought has a part number 25-22425 I've read...

I'm thinking about finally moving up to a 5ton 9series but I was recently told that I would have to get a cdl to legaly drive it just because it is full air brakes. Is that the case? I will eventually convert and title it as an RV as I have with my deuces, which will eliminate the problem with...

Just recently got back to my apartment at the beach for summer class from my parents house. 165 mile trip door to door. My parents neighbors are happy to see the deuce gone. I pulled out at 3:00, hottest part of the day. Thermometer said it was 96 degrees in chapel hill right as i walked out to...

I know i've seen lots of threads with people talking about taking stock tires off, or putting new ones on, but none of them really explain how to do it. I have absolutely no clue. I know that the split ring has to come off, but i don't know how. I need to dismount 6 stock deuce 9's and put...

Swapping out the old long style airpack for the newer style short one. Got everything figured out except the plug, which i assume is for brake lights. The old one has this plug on the front of the airpack. The new short one does not. What needs to be done to make the brake lights work...

I'm helping my buddy work on his 71 m109 shop van to replace the airpack that didn't work when he bought it. He bought a new one, but when we crawled underneath his deuce, it didn't match what was there. The airpack he bought matches the one on his m35 and my m35, but not his m109. We removed it...
