Never mind a little bit of light on on the bench and I can see the threads

So obviously the PS pump did not sluff off metal in the oil but I cleaned the whole thing up and took it for a drive to see if I could see that accessory drive leaking and the power steering pump blew up and let all it’s fluid out the front so now I need to see about rebuilding it also. I see...

Not yet, I have an OHV/camping trip coming up so all focus has been on the HMMWV and my kids Trailblazers, so it’s going to be a few weeks. I will for sure follow up with what I find and really appreciate the help.

PS Fluid, at least that’s what it looks like and I found a big jug of it in the truck when I got it. I’ll definitely look into the acc drive as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for your help man I really appreciate it!

It looked to me like all the oil was coming from the power steering pump has the entire bottom of it and the bracket and all of the stuff directly below it are covered. The fan belts themselves are not tight at all but the power steering belts are. It’s gonna be a couple weeks before I got the...

Pressure looks good. Seems to run fine. Not sure what “unusual” noise is for one of these. Always describe the HMMWV as angry dwarves with hammers.

Was my hope, I couldn’t place it.

Seemed to be all steel. I drained into a large catch bin (Walmart Tote) and used a small bucket to put the used oil in jugs. The last bit I poured down the side of a large funnel and had a dozen fragments of the same metal. Didn’t see much else.

Oil filter was fine. The only thing that really leaks much is the PS Pump and leaks down the side of everything. The front main has leaked some, but not substantially. All belts have some deflection in them (no banjo string tight). I can get better pictures tomorrow.

Ha! Thanks. Chunks or fragments might have been a better description. It was definitely a sinking feeling as I pulled them out along with a fair number of the smaller pieces.

It is magnetic. Parts were stuck on the drain plug, so I used a flexible magnet to reach in and fish the rest out of the pan and got these two big chunks which require bending to get through the drain hole. I will check for oil leaks. I just got the truck and the fuel pump started leaking on it...

Found this in my oil on today when I changed it. Truck still starts and seems to run fine. Any idea where it came from? Calipers are open 1-1/2” for a reference. Thanks
