    AM General parts website

    When searching part/NSN numbers I am seeing "too good to be true" prices on what appear to be fake websites. I have seen several that all have the same appearance, no physical address listed, and Gmail as the contact email. Looks like they are snagging the pictures and descriptions from legit...

    Anyone have any insights on the glow plugs AMG sells, listed as #12338771/GM#08990733, are they good? Price is right at $5.75. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    AM General parts website

    I ordered a large number of items in early November, mostly small, and all showing in stock. They came over a six week period in five separate shipments. If the shipping seemed a bit high (it did), they spent that or more shipping all those packages. Also, they asked for renewal of the credit...

    M998 Starter installation

    Have you tried just lifting it into place? Once you get the front stud in the bracket then the weight is a lot easier to manage while you get the first rear bolt in. It's good to have everything laid out in orderly fashion and good lighting. I like to have a long screwdriver in reach in case the...

    CV BOOT INSTALLATION

    I would not try to figure out 7 vs 10k but take measurements and get boots to match. I described this in the thread "CV boot on HMMWV" along with info on the the EMPI/NAPA selection. Since posting in that thread I have put on several more NAPA boots including one that was silicone. Seemed like a...

    Hmmwv serial # / year of manufacture list

    In many states the registration process is "computerised" and demands a 17-digit VIN. Typically someone in the department has authority to do an "override", but some states will issue a special VIN, or add digits (zeroes or whatever) to make it longer. The system of 17-digit VINs is intended to...

    Validating M998 temperature gauge

    When using a spot laser thermometer the field of view should also be taken into consideration. The field of view can be much larger than suggested by the "dot". They are great for things like racecar tires, where the target is simple and consistent and you just want a quick number. For something...

    Weepy injection pump

    Hi Wirefox, thanks for confirming it is possible to change the advance piston seal with the pump in place. I am looking at doing it since I have one dripping here. Do you happen to recall what you took off for access, Intake manifold, coolant crossover or other? It looks like you would have...

    Newbie Needs Advice on HMMWV

    The air intake hose is visible in pictures 60 and 71 - it is tucked behind the coolant tank. The light and turn signal switches are also present, which is a plus. And the 24 bolt wheels and tires with decent tread - won't know until you see them if they have cracks or how old they are... Sent...

    Newbie Needs Advice on HMMWV

    NDT, good point about the Melton rebuild possibly being a GM block rather than a GEP. I have a Melton rebuild here from a M1045A2 from Albany; it is a GEP block but also overbored to the max. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    Napa 6tl batteries

    I have had a draw in the lighting circuit before, which went away by disconnecting the main light switch. If I recall correctly (been a few years) it was the switch itself that had a short or something in it. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    Harbor Freight Safety Recall

    I like the mention of redundancy in the video. I keep blocks of wood in various sizes in the shop for this purpose. I had something come down once and the drop was effectively instantaneous; I no longer have the thought that there will be time to react, there won't be. I really like my HF...

    Any ideas on getting the 1 3/16th nuts off body bushing bolt

    I like a 3" cutoff wheel in an air driver, same setup as a Dremel cutoff wheel but a lot faster if it fits. Can you make a cut most of the way through like in this picture? It mechanically relaxes the nut and delivers penetrant to all the threads. I like to use cheap tools (HF) to make...

    autozone CV half shafts

    Summit also has a listing for Hummer axles, and lists the manufacturer part number (e.g. NCV82074 and NCV82075). A search of the part number might locate sources with some in stock. I have not used these, so this is not an endorsement, just information. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    Cooling issue: "overcooling"

    The fan clutches vary in the amount of drag present. The M998 I am driving currently has a fair bit of drag so the fan is spinning pretty good even when disengaged, and it takes a hill or driving over 60mph to make the fan cycle. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    What is supposed to go there?

    Google image search suggests the wiring harness passes through that area and used some of the holes, also throttle cable, etc. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk
