    Coolant in rear diff

    Was the vent line capped off? Hopefully it was just the cooling coil in the cover so yes you could just cap of the ends going to the cooler and connect the two coolant lines together. This can also happen in the transfer case as well as other coil coolers and is commonly called a vampire leak...

    Ludicrous Speed DECAL for speedometer

    Does the scenery around you start to distort when you get up to those speeds? I bet you aged a little less than everyone else traveling at those hyper speeds. "My God. it's full of stars" Mark

    Govplanet Tires

    Very curious if those wheels fit the Hmmwv. Mark

    Govplanet Tires

    Those are getting a bit long in the tooth but if they were stored properly and have zero sign of dry cracking then it could be a deal. No idea what the wheels fit but they do have 8 lugs. Mark

    Is there a date code listed? The Good Year M/Ts are a good tire. Mark

    My buddies 712M turning into a radio truck

    There you go. Not the easiest to get in for us older guys but a fantastic bit of engineering. Mark

    My buddies 712M turning into a radio truck

    Yeah he has had the 712M for over 12 years and it is in unreal shape. Even has a halon fire system in the cab as well as climbing gear and breaching equipment. It's amazing what this truck can do with just a little 90hp engine. I picked up a M101A2 because it fit the size for the Pinz very...

    Was there a final correct answer on the LM/FMTVs being EMP proof ????

    If a Carrington event happened today and the U.S. was in a direct hit path it would be catastrophic for us in ways we can't even imagine. Wide spread power outages, gas stations immediately shut down, banks close, supermarkets run out of everything. No heat no air conditioning. People panic and...

    Anyone recognize this sound

    The snap seems to me to be the belt slipping out of the pulley track then snapping back into place. Mark

    New to me 998!

    Maybe haul a radio shack trailer with a small genset to run everything. My buddy has a crazy setup in his Pinzgauer 712M. I'm going to set up a 2 meter rig in my M998. There are a number of hams on this site. Mark N1FTC

    I dont trust my oel pressure display

    As long as you are showing pressure when running you should be good to go. These gauges are notorious for their bounce and inaccurate pressure readings. When running mine could be at 90psi or 30psi with a lot of bounce. I changed out my senser and had no change so I will replace the gauge with...

    Head gasket thickness

    Oh sorry didn't see that pic. No pitting on the walls? Damn she might be a runner. Mark

    Head gasket thickness

    You have to see just what shape the cylinder walls are after you clean them. Is the engine frozen? Hopefully the rings are not frozen in place. Not sure if those cylinder walls are OK. Mark

    Need help understanding all the Humvee tire choices

    I always had a saftey concern removing the run flats with the 37s. If cruising down the road and having a blowout without the run flats that wheel is going to abruptly drop over eight inches. That is a tad concerning. Mark

    Backfiring

    I was looking at the top of the motor but yep those diaphragms do fail. Mark

    Backfiring

    Unless you had a stuck float or a needle and seat issue with the carb there is no way to dump enough gas into the oil to be noticeable. Any gas in the oil will go away as soon as the engine reaches temperature. I know I am dating myself but gasoline was once used to cut the old stright weight...

    Hood hook seals

    Just variances between hoods and the rubber looks a bit old. Just trim it a bit and down the road you go. Mark

    Starter bolt broke

    Are you saying you don't have a rear bracket for the starter. That is a buttload of weight to be cantilevered out supported only by two starter bolts. Like I just read about the Space X test vehicle's explosion today. Rapid unscheduled disassembly What a great line that it. Mark

    Backfiring

    Replace it and when you have it out try to blow through it. I'm sure it needs to be changed anyway and you can cross it off the list. Mark
