You are absolutely correct. I pulled my wheels off many times by hand and once broken free, they would spin off. Once I had my "new" tires installed by a bunch of monkeys with impact guns, I now struggle with the lugs from the tip all the way down. Did I mention they broke 3 of them off...

The starter bolts are a VERY common problem. Both of mine snapped back in June. I had the updated bolts installed with Loctite and I paint marked them. Checked them regularly. Then when replacing the balancer this week, I noticed that one of the two now was sheared and missing again! Also...

OK, I took RetiredWarHorses' advice and played with the timing - FIXED!! It turned out the wobbling of the bad harmonic balancer certainly can play a role in the injector pump position. The pump was advanced slightly to the drivers side, so I brought it back to center. Then it ran worse, so I...

The B-pillar braces are an important point. Most seats fit the HMMWV, except for leg room. This ultimately limits you to a 20" seat bottom. What attracted me to these seats was that they looked like conventional BMW/MB sport seats but only had 20" depth! Most other seats are 21-22". With...

I haven't checked it yet. I suspected that at first but it's odd that the problem went away. Then I thought maybe the aggressive shaking retarded the timing slightly when the old balancer was mounted. It idles smooth but misses when under load, and with each miss, a puff of smoke comes out...

I'd like to take that credit, but it's not an actual M203. It's a Spikes Tactical flare launcher. To avoid the NFA hassle, it's limited to 37mm, not 40, smooth bore, not rifled, and I can't use anything designed to destruct. Only 1.4G explosives, like flares, fireworks, etc. Basically, if...

I totally agree. The problems occur when the bolt fails, loosens up and puts the strain on the keyway. Anyone who has ever held a 3/4" woodruff key knows those things are for alignment only. There was a recall on the original bolt for an upgraded, harder steel one, which I replaced. Well...

I don't doubt it!! Just carefully holding these things up above my face to align it is scary at times. If it falls, I'll be unrecognizable even to family.

Not sure then because I never order online - only by phone. They said they are aftermarket but they have had zero problems and zero returns. They are 10K for about $450 per set. If they do fail, then I'll replace them with the AMG units. Hopefully this is just a cosmetic thing and won't...

Wait, how would welding it eliminate what it is there for? I fully understand the ability to replace it goes out the window, however this part is certainly not made to rotate. There is nearly a year wait for a proper engine swap and this is the most reliable bridge to getting the car on the...

And, yes, it was an OEM balancer.

No, should I have done that? I am NOT skilled enough for that and NOBODY in this area will work on a HMMWV, including the big diesel shops.

When I bought my HMMWV, it smoked on startup and during acceleration. I tried to sell myself on the idea that the smoke was white, but honestly it was blue. Like "OIL BLUE." After starting, I would have to back out of the garage quickly otherwise my eyes will nearly seize shut with pain. I...

IDK either. It was just their "10K halfshafts" which came with the boots already attached.

I was thinking the same. They fit well but here is some slight movement left to right. The originals were tight. The movement is slight - not measurable, but you can feel it if you test it with your hand.

These are Corbeau Sport seats. I called Corbeau directly, rather than deal with a middleman. They do make them custom order, so it's about a 2 month wait. Again, the pictures don't do them justice. They are the best quality aftermarket seats I've seen in terms of detail. We'll see how...

Agreed, however my 110lb weight limit for my dates renders the steel plate useless in most cases.

I think you're referring to the sound bar. It's a Wetsounds Stealth HD6. It has the bluetooth controller for the entire system and has 250 watts/ch. I also have a 500w RMS amp powering the 15" JL sub, also rated at 500 RMS and two dome tweeters in the front corners of the dash powered by a...

After a months-long wait, my Corbeau seats arrived. WELL WORTH THE WAIT! Acceptional quality. Perfect stitching, unlike the Smittybilt seats I often see in these. I had to make custom aluminum seat rails for the driver's side and remove the steel plate on the passenger side but the result...

I ordered and installed new driveshafts from SECO about a month ago and installed. Thought it was easier and more reliable in the long-term than replacing my ripped boot. While there are no performance issues yet, the boots on each side of the diff are buckling. Haven't seen this before. Any...
