From my european point of view... what ist "random flag day"? A Equivalent to the Hawaiian shirts friday?

You have to decide that from situation to situation. Basically, the lock of the center differential is the beginning on such loose ground. If a wheel lifts off, then step lightly on the brake to direct the force back to the wheel in contact with the ground.

Stock axles but in lock (HL) at ths time. This is river gravel. Very smooth and without any small components in it. This is then like quicksand. If you have pressure from above, that's still okay. But in this case, the body is already resting on the edge. And any further movement would have...

qucik update... the guy with the excavator testet the deep a few days later... A few feet further it would then have been 7ft depth. All this in the river gravel in which you have no grip. Notice to self... Mud is safer

goofing around in a gravel pit and nearly sink the rig

WOW, I was not aware that there is something to lubricate behind it. It is not the first mechanical lift pump I change on an old V8, but they were always driven via camshaft and thus in the engine oil. But in this case I will remove the pump again and close the hole with a plate. Then installed...

Okay, so lift pump replaced. What a dirty job! Why can't the idiots put studs in there. Getting the pump down there and hitting the bolt holes is exasperating. But okay... now it's in. So then pressurized the tank as described, opened an injector and let it run. But the truck wouldn't start...

But one more thing as a supplement on the subject of brake light switch and transmission signal with the 4-speed. There are two switches, operated by th brake pedal by only one smale "z"-fomed pice of wire. Couse of the short movement that the brake pedal makes on this rigs it is very very hard...

Why looks your old tires so unevenly worn?

I would not open the oil circuit. This is only one source of failure. I would take a threaded sensor that you can put in the oil pan. Lower the sump, weld in the nut, if necessary a protective ring around it (so that it is protected in the field) and screw in the sensor. Then you also have the...

My hydralic i leeking and i have the same sounds when it running low on fluid. Sounds the same as i received my rig and drove it 600mi home without any steering assistence. But brakes where perfect. Looked in the reservoir and it was perfectly filled. But... it was'nt! The was Air in the...

From my point of view as a german... i have not noticed that ;-) Go and ask for Arnd (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/members/aavp7.76284/) here in this forum. Hi also manage a german HMMWV forum and owns a fully self restaurated and fully aquiped 997 ambulance.

I had the same problem on my rig. Feld no 5mm pedal movement from nothing to emergancy brake. Adjusting this both switches so the brake light AND the gearbox receives a clear signal, no way! So i took a shortcut. I ignore the switch for the gearbox and "bound" the signal to the brake light by...

Sounds logical. I should have thought of it myself. If the pre-feed pump part is clogged (by a broken pump or blocked line), then the IP pulls what she can. And if I then open the drain line, it also draws air. Thanks a lot... Will write if I still get problems or it is solved.

Hi togetherI I have, so I guess, a diesel / air / line poblem. The history: My truck ran after a long tour in quite warm outside temperatures and after very heavy rain only with about 80% of the power. I didn't notice it right away, but it was noticeable. So I guessed water in the diesel. It...

If I may come back to this topic again briefly. What viscosity do you use in the case of the GearOel? Any additional specifications? Or do you take there 80W90 from the axles?

I made it yesterday with a simple tool like this And i have to say.. its a pain in the ass! Because the pistone ist hard to turn, and the caliper is mounted on the brake line, at first you need two person. At second, i broke the brake line direct at the caliper. AHHHHH!!! Remove the whole...
