    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    The idler arm has just been replaced. I have not had tires balanced. I have tried but haven’t been able to find a shop to do it locally including big truck shops. That’s why I bought the centramatics. Tires are wrangler mt’s from surplus w 90% tread. I would have thought the centramatics...

    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    I would think it would have to be something rotating since it presents and dissappears in such a tight window of speed. As soon as I hit 32 mph I can see brush guard wobbling like crazy. As soon as I hit 34-35 it goes away. Thanks for the help guys.

    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    I have had two different shops look at the drive shafts. The last shop told me the rear drive shaft was out of phase but I have been told that the two rear drive shafts only got together one way and that is normal. I haven’t taken it to a driveline shop I will try that out. Thanks.

    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    Hey guys I have a strong vibration in truck I can't figure out. It happens when I hit 32 mph and disappears at as I get to 35 mph. It also hits again if I get truck to 64-65 (with a breeze going down hill lol). It has been that way since day I got from auction. It is precise enough that I...

    Connecting TDM strange issues with air restriction gauge, temp and transmission

    Hey at least I won something lol. I have been all through the field manual, wiring diagram etc. I can't figure it out. Had my guy at local off-road shop check it out too. I have done everything I know to do with my limited knowledge to try and narrow it down, I put in the recommended...

    Connecting TDM strange issues with air restriction gauge, temp and transmission

    The gauge works fine but there is no vacuum on the line to make it work unless the two plugs from TDM are hooked up. When I plug them up you can hear the air at the gauge and if I restrict air flow it shows on gauge appropriately. When i unplug the two plugs of TDM the gauge does not function.

    Connecting TDM strange issues with air restriction gauge, temp and transmission

    I haven’t painted it but it is full of that red clay dust from Oklahoma. You can try and wash it 100 x and it still never seems to go away. It’s so fine and cakes up so strongly that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I’ll def check that out. Thanks!

    Connecting TDM strange issues with air restriction gauge, temp and transmission

    I have a 1989 M998 bought at auction. When I received it the TDM was unplugged where the fan runs constantly which I have heard is common. When I connect my TDM my fan does not quit running when in neutral or drive with parking brake on. When I drive the vehicle for 20-30 minutes with TDM...

    1989 HMMWV Front Drive Shaft Out of Phase

    My mechanic recently replaced my transfer case on my 1989 6.2L HMMEV and noticed my front drive shaft was out of phase. He wanted me to ask someone in the know if that is how it is supposed to be or if it needs to be corrected. Anyone know for certain?

    Transfer Case Fail and Cant Go Over 45 mph

    Tranny fluid looked good. Transfer case fluid was fried.

    Transfer Case Fail and Cant Go Over 45 mph

    There weren't any metal shavings. I think you guys may be right with the torque converter. I have a local guy who has TH400 transmission pullouts that have been gone through for $500. Would you guys recommend just replacing torque converter or whole tranny? Thanks again for the help

    Transfer Case Fail and Cant Go Over 45 mph

    Yes, the garage it was stored in had an outdoor type carpet in it. Was like that when I bought it.

    Transfer Case Fail and Cant Go Over 45 mph

    Hello All, I am having some issues identifying what went wrong with my 1989 M998 and hoping for some suggestions. I was driving through town at approx. 30 mph and heard what sounded like a u-joint bracket failing. I could hear what sounded like someone hitting a hammer under the cargo bed...
