I was tracking down a flashing Wait light and figured out it was the grounding wire to my Nartron box. What happened is the rubber mounts for the box had crumbled and then let the bolts slack up. I intended to remove the box (batteries disconnected of course) and add rubber bushings all...

I haven't tried it in the HMMWV yet, but for boot repairs and fabric/foam stuff I use Barges contact cement. STRONG stuff. Good old fashioned grip and won't let go. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001YHL5BG/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_ADJPNBGHSGXTKYSQ0GMK Bulldogger

I just sold my wife's car and got a second mortgage on our house to buy a sick Humvee I saw on Gov Planet this afternoon. Can't wait to surprise my wife with it. What do I need to know about Humvees?

A lot of writing about ways to boost power here, but I didn't se mention of any potential faults for lower power. I'll offer that my HMMWV 6.2L had lower power when hot than initial startup. I'm certain it was low compression, as that motor had been badly abused by the ANG before I saved it...

Welcome from Woodbridge! Bulldogger

Metal printing is extremely expensive. Plastics are decidedly more affordable. If you have some hundreds of dollars, there are some good machines like Prusa or Creality and so on. If you have a few thousand, there are some pro-sumer brands like CreatBot (which I have) and if you hane $20,000...

I have a soft top made by Breton. Bought it last year, didn't have any trouble. Was only backordered a month. Probably helped that I wanted OD green, as they seemed to never have black or camo in stock. It is a bit saggy, but water tight and well made. I tried to offer them my HMMWV soft...

Interesting finds Springer1981, and these give some further background to claims others have made about getting more than one bad fan clutch in a row. Apparently this situation of bad bearings is not all that uncommon! BDGR

She's gorgeous! Congratulations. Now, um, what about the 151's and other goodies? Any indication he might sell others off? Green metal disease addicts want to know. Mansfield is only about 4.5 hours straight North for me... Unrelated question for the group, will two demilled 151 halves...

Does sound like a regulator. I had the end plate type on my 60A. It wasn't hard to replace and I did it without removing the alt from the motor. DO DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES FIRST, if you decide to replace the regulator. BUT you should definitely double check all wires, including the exterior...

There are a few haulers on Facebook as well. Can't speak about any of them personally though. BDGR

Glad you caught it TOBASH. Good advice for anyone. I checked my spindles when I got mine from the National Guard. No loose nuts but one bearing was rusted and would have failed in time. BDGR

Cool! Remember folks, to alert mods to tag threads to be moved and seed the new forums with interest and info. BDGR

Smart idea with the foam. Beats sewing new insulation panels bit by bit like I did. I got halfway and lost interest, it was so tedious. Please let us know how the foam works out. Esp. noise (in my case). BDGR

I thought that box was oversized, but the last picture explains it. Great googally moogally, that's a lot of wiring.

Excellent observations. My own experiences corroborate these costs and figures. Still, I enjoy this problem solving, and for me there is plenty of learning going on, which I value for the inspiration and challenges it presents. I expect even if I focused on additive manufacturing and ran my...

Agreed. I do that when I happen to catch the nozzle at temp, but sometimes it's cold and I'm lazy. But that's what spare nozzles are for, at least in my house :) BDGR

Absolutely. I have taken to running tool steel nozzles in both extruders now. You're not kidding about nylon's abrasiveness. I was playing with Taulman Bridge nylon a few months ago, and printed about a three hour job with it. Then I switched filaments and was having a terrible time with a...

Excellent points. I have played with GF ABS and that is pretty strong, and not too expensive. CF ABS and CF Nylon are next, but I want to be really sure before I hit "Print" because they were costly (compared to disposable or often on sale filaments like Amazon Basics or Sunlu). See you all...

Count me in. I don't have any sexy files to offer, but I can throw in a slave receptacle replacement cover I designed a few years ago. BDGR
