Either not enough belt or too much pulley!

 

[Autonomy_Lost]

It's one of them new low-friction belts I see...

12469149-3 is too long

12460226-4 is too short

Pulley next to oil filler is offset towards the back and misaligned with the rest

trying to remember which hole the alternator bracket should be bolted through, since the top bracket has 2 holes. That’s my only suspicion as to the belt length issue, I’ve already verified the right tensioner.

I’m not a fan, of tan.

Rims were dirty as heck from storage. Washed with water and a scotch pad. Chamois dry and then prep work.

Tedious part is taping off properly. Taping round rims with raised lips has to be done just right.

4 done. Six to go.

Yep, neither of those belts are correct for that pulley….see it all the time.

Really? Will have to figure it out with David then, I got both to test the length. I think I used 12469149-3 when swapping the 400 to a 200A a while back, gonna have to go back and check.

Not quite a HMMWV BUT 1995 Hummer is the 12V version. Same power train.

My 1995 has a Whipple and water injection. Swapped out the PO’s POS 38”x14”wide tires with 24 bolt with 37x12” standard tires just like the vehicle was sold with.

Drives great. Super happy. This is why I painted those tan rims to black.

Next I’ll do the same for my M1025. I’m waiting on my wheel dolly to make the job easier.

I love the military hydraulic jack. Well worth the $360 I paid. Easier than a floor jack. One tip… carry a crow bar or 1/2” steel tube to push the unit down when deflating. Otherwise you need to fight the jack to close back down.

Now I gotta find where the wife hid my black lug nuts. I so love it when she cleans.

 

[jake20]

Welp this may have something to do with it shucking the belt heh

Finally starting body/paint work. Rapco 383 and epoxy primer. LF door rebuild & paint along with a few plates.

Definitely takes patience to renew the original x doors, looking awesome.

Sequoia national park today

I replaced the transfer case chain few days ago and now I am running with gear oil instead of ATF.

My almost brand new M1123 getting washed .
48 miles on it.
Thank you guys for paying your taxes on time.

I replaced the last of the original 7K half shafts on the DuraVee today, only 20,000 miles but 30 years old, I guess I can't complain.

As I have said before I use M10-1.5X35 flanged bolts and the larger Nord Lock 1528 washers, these things really cling!
And of course a new seal.

I have been putting allot of miles on the DuraVee without its usual once a month or so ride up on the lift for inspection because the FAV has been occupying that bay.
So I took this opportunity to pull all the wheels to do a tire rotation, service the hubs and give the chassis a good lubrication, GOOD thing I did as I found the Pitman arm is worn SLAP OUT!
Time to grab the TM and order a new one!!

Oh yes the disease continues to progress, I bought another HMMWV yesterday, a 1994 M1097A1 man we are getting out of the Basics and all the way into the A1s!!
It is just a parts rig but I plan on installing that low profile helmet top on the DuraVee after installing AC of course...

I really like the look of the slant backs but you can't beet the helmet tops for leaks etc.
It also has rear doors that is handy as I already have front doors for the DuraVee.
I really like the look of the low profile helmet top over the "standard" helmet top, guess now I will have to get rid of the Detroit, nobody needs two helmet tops

Very cool
I still have those 7k half shafts at the back, my humvee has about 300k miles
They are starting to make ticking sound.

That ticking sound means time to lubricate or change. Or alternatively it could mean you made some enemies and you should call the bomb disposal unit.

Redneck armrests from soft pipe noodle

Works to keep the windows from flopping around driving and feels nice on your arm

One of a thousand possible uses and almost as handy as velcro.
