Mounted an LED license plate holder from Those Military Guys. Went on easy. Bdgr

Thanks AA, we'll definitely have to get together. I'd love it if we were both driving green iron, though it's taking me several weeks to get through the lube order and the open/inspects. I am about ready to begin taking it on the road for short trips as part of getting to know the old gal. I...

I wouldn't mind a picture or two of an injector and where/how one is supposed to bleed one. if it feels off-thread here, you could post in my thread for my new-to-me HMMWV. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?153694-Hello-from-Alexandria-VA/page4 Bulldogger

I tried the horn when she was running and all lights on, still no joy. I haven't had time to run an electrical test of the wires or horn itself as yet. The last few days were taken up with changing the coolant. Also replaced all hoses. So far, so good. Bulldogger

Igm, yes. I replaced the fuel filter and water strainer. Also drained the fuel tank. It's only had about 7-8 gallons idling since. I'm running injector cleaner through it now, and figure I won't worry until I've had some highway time. But the TM only said to crank until it starts, mentioned...

Finished the coolant system drain and fill yesterday. Took a couple days of searching to find replacement hoses. But I managed to source the materials locally. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get 2 inch or larger inside diameter hoses. Still having some stalling problems when leading...

Drained and flushed the coolant system. Only got about 2.5 gallons of coolant out of it, which explains what I thought were high temps. She was running >220 and climbing when I shut her down during driveway ops after the drain and fill of transmission, transaxle and differentials last week...

Drained and filled the differentials. Drove back and forth in each gear selection to be sure of trans fluid level and topped off. Installed a battery cut off switch. Noticed the coolant temperature got to nearly 220. But I already planned to drain and fill the coolant system and replace the...

I haven't received my SF-97, but wasn't counting on it. I guess if I EVER want one, I should start bringing it up now... Bulldogger

My thanks to all for the tips and inputs. I will open my TM and see if I can figure out which spindle nuts I have to start with. But it sounds like I am taking off the wheels. Bulldogger

I've searched and can't find specifics on this on the forum. I haven't settled my mind yet as to whether it's possible to drain and fill the hubs with the wheels on the HMMWV. I'm working my way through the LO and it isn't clear to me in looking at the illustrations in the LO and TM if it's...

Was underneath my ride last evening doing a drain and fill of the trans/transaxle and checked for leaks at the fuel plug. Nothing noticeable. Still seems tight and doing fine. Bulldogger

Looks like a well-used and happy HMMWV there. Won't the new brackets hit the hood if the windscreen is folded down? Probably doesn't matter, admittedly. BDGR

The ones I bought include left-handed drill bits and a carry case, but yes, spiral fluted extractors. I also decided to buy a 5 pack of straight sided ones, also Irwin, my theory being they might not crack so readily. Some reviews claim that they don't risk expanding the material being...

Changed the transmission and transaxle ATF last evening. The old fluid looked brand new and smelled lovely (for Dexron), which made me happy considering I'm not cure my "new" 1987 HMMWV has seen any maintenance this decade. What made me sad was breaking one of the 13 trans pan bolts...

The post sale info link appears at the end of the listing for your won item in the Items Won view of your account pages. From the post-sale page the Item Release form is a button located top center. I'll attach a couple of tailored screen capture pictures from mine. Yours should look similar...

Predator42, no offense taken. The engine was running and I think the service lights were on, but that's a ****ed good question. It was daylight and I don't turn the lights on always, so I will be sure to try that to be sure. I plan to go out with a multimeter with alligator clips and try...

+1 call Ron. His number is on the Item Release form you print out from your post-sale info page. He answers his cell phone promptly and is knowledgeable. I was two weeks late picking my HMMWV up due to the "only once a week for a couple hours" timing of the DLA yard I had to pick up from...

Fluid check?

Thought I'd put out an update. I haven't done as much work as I wanted to due to record-breaking rains in the DC area. We had 25 days of rain in the last 30, or some such. It meant a lot of hanging out inside or otherwise not working on the HMMWV. Yesterday the weather cleared and I blew off...
