The fan is not loud when it engages at idle. When clutched in it turns at engine speed, so the "jet taking off" sound we often describe it tied to high idle, i.e. driving along the road. If you've verified it indeed clutches in, then at least that part is working. There are threads here...

Agree with the above. It can be done yes, but it is a stopgap, not meant for distance or routine use that way. BDGR

Not my first time noticing you. We've posted back and forth before and I respect your work. I've printed a couple of things, and am still hoping I can come up with something to market for HMMWVs or other MV that will help me offset the cost of my commercial machine. Not that I have to, I just...

Look pretty nifty. Great use of a printer. I am slowly making more plans to use mine around the house and Humvee. (I should, it cost enough!) Bulldogger

A wander through their pages shows me that prices vary as compared to other sources we are more used to. We can tell from this that markups from other vendors also vary, sometimes significantly! BDGR

Wow! Thanks Coug! The wiring harness I almost bought last week on eBay is almost half price on the AMG site. And WooHoo, 4L80E shifters for $460. You rock man! Bulldogger

I'm pretty sure all the hoses and plenums in my 1987 M998 leak like sieves, so my truck takes forever to get hot air to my legs. I could seal the cab a lot better I know. I have to explain to anyone who rides in it during winter that coats are kept ON in the truck and warm boots are...

Oooo fancy. My M998 just has a vent hose sticking down from under the dash. BDGR

Another callout for a recommended garage skilled enough to swap a HMMWV powertrain; 6.2L 3L80 to 6.5Turbo 4L80E. I've what looks like a good source for a frame cut complete Turbo powertrain and no-one to install it. The ones I've talked to have declined, politely, so I'm still searching...

Could the thick posts be printed thin and sleeved internally with AL or Brass tube? I confess, I've never seen one in person so I'm spitballing. BDGR

Wow, $45 each at Kascar, higher from others. I can definitely make them WAAAAAAAAY cheaper than that, even using quality made fiber reinforced ABS. BDGR

If swabbie doesn't take you up on it, I will. At least I can take a look at it and decide if it's worth trying to CAD one up to try out. The printer I have now can readily handle the better plastics I would want to build this out of if I were going to sell them and stand behind them. BDGR

Interesting. Wonder if these can be 3D printed? I'm not the best in CAD... But I do have an industrial printer now... BDGR

Plan to come to Graves Mountain Rally over Labor Day. Hard to say what the schedule will be this year, but Cabell plans to hold the rally as of recently https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/graves-mountain-rally-virginia-labor-day-weekend-2020.194950/#post-2294608 BDGR

I'd inspect the fuel tank for algae or other gunk as well, in addition to the items mentioned. Sounds like she just needs cleaned in (cleaned out, inside). Congatulations! BDGR

I've resorted to the screwdriver trick a few times. It works, but is messy. BDGR

Tinstar, I'm ordering parts now for the brakes and having trouble finding the part #s. I can't find a parts manual here on the site. Any chance you have part #s for those Dexter/Redline wheel brake cylinders and other brake parts, or a link to a page where they might be grouped? A friend is...

Rats, I was hoping you bought a truckload of 6.5L Optimizers...

Please keep us posted! I am planning to do the same. BDGR

It's definitely in My squeak is definitely in the body or some fitting, near as I can tell. Not dependent on the brakes. It sounds like its coming from just beyond the llower left side of the doghouse. I haven't tried hard to find it, as it mostly happens when wet so it's too sloppy to want...
