All belts are new and tensioned properly. This is a humming whine, like air in the fluid.

This is what I knew but I was curious why I have seen a few doing this only on left turns. For example, how does the pump know I am making a left over a right turn? With that in mind, I thought maybe the steering box was applying a bit too much pressure on left turns causing the pump to whine...

Every since I bought my Humvee, the power steering would scream on any accelerated left turn. You would need to accelerate on a LEFT turn in order for it to make the groan noise. I also saw a POV drive on Youtube (Dakata Wood) and his did the same thing, so I just set it aside and went easy on...

This "truing" thing is genius and I didn't know it existed. It would solve my problem. For the record, I did buy these and have them installed by a semi-truck servicing center. I'm surprised they didn't recommend this. I'm going to shop around to some who may try this for a fee.

I was watching the Dakota Wood channel showing the arrival and unboxing of his new top and doors from Breton. The ones I got are so much nicer. Not sure who makes them, or where I got them (I'll have to check back), but mine have the smaller windows with the inset zippers and they seam from...

So, I installed the "like new" MTs and it turned my truck into an earthquake. Once we dismounted and put them up on the balancer, you can clearly see that they were not round! I put the worst ones on the rear and aired the tires down to 18 psi and that made the truck drivable until I found a...

IDK, this came from SECO along with all the other junk I've ordered from them. The "refurbished and refinished" wheels just arrived for $600.00, Trash. Spraypainted right over the CARC. I specifically told them don't place the order if they're not sandblasted and refinished. They sent me a...

After a day of driving, I can already see a small pinhole, suggesting this will leak right on my head. My old top didn't leak at least - might just toss this thing. Wasted another $1K. Also, after a close inspection, you can clearly see that the quality is terrible compared with my...

That's going to be my only option, unless I weld a separate bar to connect the top properly. Loosening the bow will allow it to rotate and lean in the right direction but it's hardly a professional fix. My old top fit snug and the velcro/reinforced stripe was in perfect alignment with the...

Problem is if I did that and it properly aligns the bow, then the hole in the top won't line up! The hole should be in direct alignment with the reinforced stripe, otherwise one of the two won't match. I'm stumped.

I just installed my new top and curtain. The top fits snug, however the forward and aft bows don't line up with the reinforced strip and velcro. Now that the bow isn't aligned, the wind raises the top a bit and pulls at the velcro at an angle and it's starting to tear! The bows and rails...

I know I'm setting myself up for an ambush here, but has anyone used wheel spacers on the HMMWV? I want a wider stance but I love the smooth sidewalls of the original tires, so I ordered new refurb wheels and original tires. Problem is, I want the slight offset that the black rhinos give (I...

I agree with you Tobash, I'll take Camo's advice and check it out. I know I removed the belts and spun the pully and it spun freely and smoothly. I started the engine and it was quiet with no belts, but that was before I suspected the generator. What suggests both of you are correct is the...

So I traced my tight, vibrating, friction noise down to my generator. It's the 60A version for my 6.2. Sounds like a bearing is starting to go bad - it's very loud ("friction" noise) that disappears when the engine is slightly revved. Should I buy an upgraded 200A, and if so, it is simply...

Again, I want to, but do they make that noise naturally? The guides in that pan are thin pot metal, so they all might do that when struck in just the right place. My gut tells me that the pan is bad and is the source of my noise, but I need someone to please confirm. I strike it at angled...

So, please, if anyone finds themselves under their HMMWV, try this and see if this is normal. It's easy to simply say, "no it's not," but there's been many times with other cars I've made the wrong assumptions. I'd hate to order a new pan and gasket if the new one does the same thing proving...

I decided to start a new thread about this topic because I'm interested in finding out if this is a typical issue or it is unique to my vibration sound problem. When cold, my truck has a loud vibration which goes away in gear. Once hot, it only makes the loud sound while in gear and idling...

Thank you all for the great advice! I am leaning toward the vibration sound as opposed to bearing and here's why: When I started it this morning, the sound was there in Neutral but not while in gear. Once warmed up, it was gone in Neutral and present in gear. Also the fact that it disappears...

OK, I keep my HMMWV in a small garage which amplifies all sounds that emit from below the belt. When I start the truck, it sounds great, however once warm (or even after idling for 5 min or so) and you place it in REVERSE or DRIVE, it has a friction sound to it. It almost sounds like a...

For the record, these parts (none of them) were purchased on eBay. In fact, I don't order anything point n click. If the vendor doesn't have a phone number with a human on the other end willing to accept my CC info via phone, I shop elsewhere. Here are the pics of the tank. Both the original...
