    Dodge 230 L6 Question...

    . So will powdered Tide - at least the older version would. Spray the motor down with warm water, sprinkle it with Tide, let it sit, then spray it off - along with all the grease and grime...

    M109 rebirth into M48A2

    . Yes Sir. The thing to remember with hydraulics is that flow (GPM) controls speed more than pressure Eaton Vickers Hydraulic Vane Pump (9M-818) NSN 4320-01-521-6943 drives the the winches on the M936. One 45000#, a 20,000# on the boom, and the front winch (on a separate pump) is a 10,000#...

    M109 rebirth into M48A2

    . Well the painting looks good enough. That way you are protecting the metal... As far as the hydraulic winches are concerned: GPM and PSI doesn't really need to be anything other than "pick your biggest load" and then build your system based on that. You definitely want to be able to turn...

    M916 Novice!

    . Welcome to the Outfit! Seems like everybody has already welcomed you to the group and have the TM's handy. Those books will definitely help you a lot. Everything from parts numbers to troubleshooting...

    Does this heater core look bad?

    . Sadly, yes. It may well be a leak. Almost wonder if it could be repaired...

    Does this heater core look bad?

    . I really don't think it looks all that bad... I mean several of the fins are filled with "goop" but it looks pretty good. I think you can clean it up and reuse it. The best plan for troubleshooting the radiator would be to loop the heater hoses.

    Humvee Steering Issue

    . So, the pump worked before you put on the new tires?

    Humvee Steering Issue

    . Just an observation in passing... The power steering pump may be worn out from pushing those fat tires around.

    Blown head gasket or something else?

    . You could, but honestly the bolts will stick up and get in the way of setting the heads down onto the pins. Just need to be gentle when you set the heads down on top of your gaskets...

    Possible cruise control on a 1097?

    . I think we will need a little more information to help. The engine makes a big difference. The 3116 vs a 3126 that has a little more "automation" will help with the answers you get. Yes, you could affix a throttle cable on a 3116 but if something pulls out in front of you, you won't be able...

    Hurricane Beryl and Mep 803

    . Yeah well... Having multiple wells is a good thing. That way if one of your generators goes down - you have another way to move water. Might be worthwhile to have a water buffalo if you have something to drag it... In case one of the wells go down.

    2010 6.5 4l80 gets to 50 no overdrive and no trans light

    . It might be worth the effort to Anti-Ox and clean the connectors with a stiff bristle brush.

    Seems like this is turning into a build thread.

    . Nothing like loosing a wheel. Especially a rear. Many moons ago going down Interstate 85... Left rear wheel pulled out and passed me going 55. Then I spotted a tractor barreling down the highway in the passing lane. That truck looked like a caterpillar climbing over the tire... Wow! He...

    Lowering a M149A2 Water Buffalo Trailer??

    . That would work. It just puts more strain on the wheel bearings. If you keep them greased and examined regularly - that could still work.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    . That's great! BE SURE to look through startup proceedures in the "Dash 10" Technical Manual. That will save you lots of time and money!

    264Charlie's M51A2

    . That sounds pretty sad. I mean the paint job looks really nice. What about the internals? Are the Gear boxes, Motor, and Brakes okay? Or are at least some of the parts good?

    Fix for my horn that is stuck "ON"...

    . Possibility that the wire that runs up to the horn button has "rubbed itself raw".

    New Guy M1123 Looking for the TM's

    . Well, the TM's live with new and old HMMWV's in the same folder. If you have your Serial Number, you can sort it all out pretty well. You should start with the "Dash 10" book to learn how to start it. That will keep you from frying your start box... Yeah, I know most folks turn on the...
