joeberg, definitely not an antenna. All my antenna and radio power cables have been cut and this cable enters the transfer case. BLK HMMWV, definitely not a vent line, I found those. Gunzy, I didn't think of that. I'll look at the TM again, or just walk the cable forward. It could be that...

I was under my HMMWV last evening looking for the source of the intermittent grumbling/rattle (I feared it was from the transfer case due to the position and this pained me to think about). Underneath the beast I spotted what looked like a long black sheathed cable coming out of the top left...

Action, Interesting question. For some reason I thought they were to be tightened to 35 foot-pounds. In reviewing the TM again I see you are quite correct and they should only go to 15 foot-pounds. So the mistake was mine. I hope this means my torque wrench is okay, I suppose it does. I...

Drained, filled, replaced seals and repainted left front hub. Took some extra time because I broke a couple bolt heads on the cover plate when torqueing them on. Bought new bolts and they had indications of the same problem. Turn out my Harbor Freight torque wrench loses calibration over 20...

Thanks gents. I appreciate the encouragement. The paint is Krylon Rust Tough in Black Semi Flat. I've used it for years to paint my Harley tins, in straight Flat black. Easy finish to blend later after minor repairs :-) I intend to paint all the undercarriage starting with hubs. 'Spray as...

I was told by GP customer service No, as others have stated. They are also understanding if the storage yard has weird policies and hours. Mine was only open one day a week for 5 hours for vehicle pickup, so it was a while before I could get the stars to line up, but I was not charged. (Only...

Finished installing new inner wheel bearing yesterday and put the right front hub all back together. Decided to wire brush and paint it all while I was at it. Replaced inner and outer seals as well. Now to do the other three... BDGR

Mine has the same camber, and it caught my attention as well. Do I interpret your responses to WM's question to indicate that we should adjust the shims to accommodate our current lack of heavy loading? I take this to mean that our HMMWVs once had heavy equipment, but don't now and should be...

It was off the auction site. Listed as correct part, but being sold from a liquidator and has no NSN markings on it (the NSN is in the listing, I found it via search). I suspect a knockoff, but I got it for $30 delivered, so if it lasts just a coupla years I'm satisfied. Other sources wanted...

I also wanted to mention that I got to replace a spindle seal on Thecaptain's Humvee last Sunday. He lives outside Manassas and convinced me to come out and learn about hubs while we replaced a leaky seal on his 1993 Hmmwv. It was a very straightforward repair. He also let me drive it and it was...

Replace the right front half shaft this evening. Came out and new one went back in nice and easy. Unfortunately the hub is not so nice. The washer for the halfshaft capscrew was cracked and broken and I could see water inside that area which came from me hosing off all the mud on the hub ...

Installed a new windshield washer pump. Also began the hub service. More details on that in my Alexandria thread. Bulldogger

I've tried an older supplement called "Pro Trucker" given me by a friend in my 6.2L HMMWV. Not sure how much lubrication it brings, but it did help clean the injectors. Now I'm thinking I need something for my 1987 tired old IP... Glad for this thread. Bulldogger

Look at the prices for those four-man kits, you might find it cheaper to buy one in four-man configuration depending on your bid ceiling Bulldogger

Welcome aboard from Virginia

I'll also give my appreciation for Jwade, he can't solve everything but he tries and having someone here interested in helping us is a lot more than many auction sites would do. Bulldogger

I'm wondering if those competing bidders understand the auction fee and sales tax add ons! I agree with the suspicion that there may be a default on that sale. Bulldogger

What's the MWO on that one? ;-)

Installed a new horn button today and between that and my open and inspect of the horn I now have a working horn. I didn't get to drive yesterday due to heavy rains, and not feeling like going out much. But today I went raspberry picking at a local park and decided to take the Humvee. It...

Installed a new horn button, *meep* *meep* Thanks Swamp Donkey! Bulldogger
