Just a reminder less than a month until the rally.

Just a reminder, less than 1 month left.

if it is controlled by a switched power source off of an ignition hot wire, then in theory it should NOT be drawing power with the ignition off. I'd either start looking for the draw, or maybe install a battery disconnect when it's going to sit for longer periods of time.

I'm also commonly towing trailers with my truck, so the RV + also covers hauling the trailer, where a normal policy won't. (at least to my understanding) I consider it cheap insurance, though reality is unless I'm in another state I have an Aunt/Uncle with a hay business and lots of...

only reason for the difference is that some HMMWVs are only rated for 3400 lbs towing, and some are rated for 4200 lbs. Trailers are 100% identical other than the data plate.

My batteries drain down due to my dash cam. Takes about a week when just sitting there (group 24 AGM batteries, so about 2/3 the capacity of the 6Tagm) NOCO Gen5X2 (or the Gen 2X2, or 10X2) are designed for marine application charging/maintaining on board multi battery charging. Designed to...

If you can't find something local, I have nothing but good things to say about Feltz tire, as do many others https://feltztire.com/product-category/tires/military-tires/37x12-50r16-5lt/?srsltid=AfmBOop1q-dea95H-EwGt18BQwrSt4q0C2ov8S4dDYSSG8-BwYWmiJT2

AAA RV + 100 miles towing. Basic sockets and wrenches, pliers, jack, spare tire, tow bar, tow straps, winch. All I need is to get it to a paved road, and then call AAA to get it home.

Below is the link in the TM section. The parts manuals are the 97 version, the repair manual is the 2009 version. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-m1113-m1114-m1151-m1152-m1165-m1167-tms.222128/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/M1114/TM-9-2320-387-24P.pdf

it's divided by serial number. Pre 196900 uses shorter belt, after 196900 serial number uses longer belt. Easiest visual cues are the remote power steering reservoir on top of the engine, and an idler pulley between the alternator and power steering pump. Remote reservoir and extra idler are...

Most rods are steel with a thin coating of copper these days.

Only problem with using power tools to drive the rod is you sometimes try to just pound the rod after you should have stopped. I remember hearing one electrician talking about how he had finally gotten the rod driven almost all the way into the ground, squatting down to drive it that last little...

Opening the drain with it running was how I determined that my lift pump had failed. Injection pump will suck air in through the drain, and you won't get it started again without fixing the issue. Lift pump is relatively inexpensive and not that difficult to replace, other than being careful...

Just trying to make sure I understand what you are saying. Engine off, no fuel from filter drain (normal) Engine running, no fuel from filter drain (not normal) You opened up filter housing and replaced filter, it had fuel in it. Sounds like fuel delivery issue before the filter. That...

V-belt trucks can have 60 amp, 100 amp, or 200 amp alternators I don't believe there are 400 amp ones, but there might be a few) Serpentine belt trucks can have either 200 or 400 amp alternators. 1097R1 trucks can be either V belt or serpentine, usually depending on whether it's a 3 speed...

So got a message about a motorcycle that went off the trail and down a slope that needed recovered (I volunteer in my area for off road vehicle recoveries that tow trucks won't go to) Used the tow bar to get a little more height on the lift It went pretty straight forward. Bike was in...

all A2 trucks should have the 200 amp, unless they have the 400 amp. If there is a lift ring in the top of the alternator then it;s the 400, but 200 is MUCH more likely.

The gauges are pretty much only there for reference, not to be treated as accurate. As long as the gauges are showing the same results under the same operating conditions, don't worry about them. When they start showing you something different, then you start worrying. Feltz tire is 100%...

First step is always verify. If you still have the old gauge I'd reinstall it and see if it goes back to your old readings, just for comparison's sake. An IR thermometer used at the sending unit in the block to verify the temp would also be very useful. I know in my HMMWV I've had to do...

For oil extractor I've been using an Extoil brand manual extractor for about 2 years now for my business and it's held up excellent. They appear to be unavailable from the place I bought it, but found one on ebay for about what I paid. Bought it for my VW engine (I don't have to put it up on...
