You did the right thing, but I totally would have been tempted too. It's hard to resist saving old green iron, but we can't save them all. It might pop up again, keep an eye out. If you have space to let it sit and can spare that $1000 or so you mentioned, you could call him in a month and...

What comms rig are you using? Would like one to talk to my 7yo in the HMMWV. Bulldogger

For an air compressor tank, Kreem would probably work fine. I don't think it's any more or less expensive, so kind of a personal preference or availability call then. I have had Kreem soften up and leak in bike gas tanks, especially with ethanol gas, but I did not apply it so I cannot speak to...

I don't see why not. Careful application is the only hangup, but entirely controllable by the person doing the work. POR15 make another similar product aimed at the auto restoration market to seal and protect car/truck frames. They have long experience in making product that adheres well and...

I've used this with good results on motorcycle gas tanks. Note that the vinegar will remove metal if left in there long enough. If you're interested in sealing the interior, I will put a plug in here for POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer. I have used it several times, and as long as you prepare the...

Each headlight has its own ground wire, should have a metal tag labeled "91". Since they BOTH flicker, in that case I'd check the light control panel connection, though that is a screwed in connector, so shouldn't be a problem. It occurs to me, that on my HMMWV I noticed that if I turned the...

I had trouble/concern with the limited window of Ft Meade and arranging transport during their limited window (which was the local Defense Logistics Agency policy NOT GP's), so sent a concerned email to customer service. They replied promptly and said they'd be flexible, and they were. Once I...

Mine is holding up fine. I bought it mostly bc it was locally available, and I won't argue w RWH. If I ever find myself having to remove it, I will likely take the time to source the OEM replacement. But that said, mine is showing no issues and is still tight. I haven't tried loosening it or...

As of the present moment, I am into my HMMWV for about twice the auction "win" price. It is full mission capable, and I would drive her anywhere. She's an older 6.2L, and perhaps not as fast or capable as later models, but "not much" is still a heckuva lot more than I need or plan to attempt...

That spot is a concentration of plumbing that all use ATF as the working fluid. Need to crawl around under it and see if you can find the leak. On my HMMWV almost EVERY SINGLE hose clamp needed tightened once I get her running. Saved me a lot of potential unnecessary replacements and repairs...

Congratulations! Nice to see another Hoosier having fun. With all those parts missing, especially the transfer case problem too, it sounds like a whole new powertrain from a surplus dealer is in your future. Then you can just build around it. Bulldogger

Mine was the same on pickup too. A few jabs w a screwdriver down low and it's fine since. Bulldogger

I used a four tooth spindle socket from another model. Had to just touch the teeth with a dremel to get them right. It only engages four out of eight notches of course, but it works fine since they are not high torque nuts. Bulldogger

I'm one of the ones who posted that product link and have had no trouble with mine since about April Bulldogger

Cleaning up wires and grounds seems in order. Glad she's running again. Bulldogger

You can lessen the hiss of the Cadillac valve that's in front of the washer reservoir by loosening the hose clamp that holds it to the body and putting a piece of rubber in between, then re-tightening. Common complaint. Bulldogger

Well, you're near a scrapper there in Wilmington if I recall correctly, so at least you might be able to get the parts you need quickly. Maybe a whole new power plant and keep the one you have as spares? Bulldogger

You definitely have some kind of short, with the heater fan able to run and the stop/run switch in Stop. The wait to start light will often NOT come on if the motor is good and hot. That isn't necessarily a fault to investigate. The Brake light should be on if the switch is in Run and the...

Once the half shaft and spindle are out you can rap the seals out from the opposite side with a long punch, carefully. Be very careful not to damage the seal mating surface. A little caution and care should be enough. I drove all of my larger seals in with a hunk of 2x2x4 cut square. The smaller...
