You’ve done a fine job restoring that vehicle!

Great work!

Howard Hughes shaved all the bolt heads in his airplane to set an air speed record. The point being that all those extra bolts will affect the aerodynamics of your HMMWV and slow you down.🤡🤡🤡 Beautiful work!

Ok. Let me know what you think. I will be considering using sound AND heat.

Lizardskin sound and temp, or just sound?

I purchased one on Temu. It has its own screen. $35 bucks (give or take). But also: :derailed:

Later this week I go to Commiefornia to work on my M1165. I will be making an Aluminum support to hold generic oil and tranny fluid and power steering fluid coolers. I’ll post pics when the time comes No way I’m willing to spend $800-1000 for something I can redesign and build better for...

I also thought about fixing BUT my fear with fixing is that the part is weakened and will leak from somewhere else. I plan on camping in the desert off the grid with this rig. I would prefer not to become a statistic. Oil and tranny fluid is not caustic… why do these damned things develop leaks???

I have the same issue. I’m thinking of using Ford F350 oil coolers to reduce the costs of replacement. I’m not driving a 24000 lb vehicle through the desert so I don’t need super crazy heat radiation. I’m not forking over $1000 for what should be a $250-400 part.

Might want to pre-drill and then plug the crossover for future water water/methanol injection and turbo boost pressure gauge. That is before you reinsert it.

Well done sir.

IP leaking or lift pump leaking?... Lift pump will contaminate oil. Maybe my wires are crossed? Sorry, I misread. I thought this was a lift pump problem.

Change your oil ASAP. There is a strong risk that the fuel pump has spashed Diesel fuel into your oil, killing the viscosity. Don’t run your engine until the oil is changed and the pump is swapped out. IMHO

On my rig, the oil pressure sender hose was the older generation, and it was rotted and rusted. This would be a perfect time to check your oil pressure sender and replace it with the turbo out. Otherwise you will have a frustrating job ahead of you. The newer units are built with either...

Maybe don’t place the doors on concrete without cardboard or wood beneath them??? They look too nice to ruin.

What kind of borescope... I'm considering purchasing one.

Ok I’d start with Travis at Rubber Duck, hummer parts guy, etc… Diesel rebuild shoppes should have ‘em too. I’ll see what else I can find out. Given the truck starts, you might wanna just clean and rebuild. Rebuild kits have bearings and such. You need to clock/mark the impeller blades on...

What about just purchasing and replacing the cartridge? Cheaper and just as effective.

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
