    Leaking HH

    I would try to tighten it to the torque spec with a crowfoot if you can get in there. Might work. Then you can look at the line and see if there is damage to the sleeve or down in the head. Hard to see in there. Changing line or trying to put on a new ferrule is an idea. You cut off the line...

    Oil thin and drippy

    30W straight is the original spec. A lot of guys are running 15W-40 now. Sounds like you are in a warm area 40W straight probably OK in my opinion. In any case thicker oil won't get thinner all by itself. Something isn't right there. Testing should answer the question. After that you are on...

    Leaking HH

    Pull back or remove the rubber caps if they are shot. Clean it up good with some type of dry cleaning solvent like Brakleen. Blow it dry with Air if you can. Take it for a ride and look at it with the engine running. Look for fuel puddled in the fittings on top. Look closely to see if the fuel...

    Oil thin and drippy

    Running straight 30W Mobil myself. Not thin. I forgot to ask but is the oil level going up? Is it keeping pace with some nice leaks?

    Good vendor for Humvee covers and doors going out of business

    Well I am 40 so I understand the situation with the age group. Of course not all are bad. I think you guys get the point. Guess my parents went wrong somewhere. I just don't fit in anymore. We take care of the truck drivers it's not the last mile that is the problem. I was just noting that the...

    Bed modification ideas

    Believe it or not I recently used my deuce for this same purpose. Found that if I put a large branch or small tree on the bottom and the rest of the brush on top I could pull the whole load out almost by grabbing the thick end of the bottom branch and everything else came off on top of it...

    Oil thin and drippy

    Bypassing the FDC will allow it to use other permissible fuels but make less or more power doing it. FDC adjusted for different fuel densities and compensated for this. You could have leaking O-Rings under the Hydraulic Head, leaking booster pump seals or a leaking cold start fuel injector. If...

    Good vendor for Humvee covers and doors going out of business

    Hard for manufacturing like this to survive in NY high tax states. Minimum wage going up every year by a dollar. So many people taking FMLA and PFMLA and disability and I can't do this part of the job or that because my doctor says so here is a note. I can go on and on. I have a guy gets FMLA...

    Does 5 ton lower door bracket "plate" come out?

    I feel like there was a similar post recently. Had same problem changing doors on my deuce. Used an impact driver but still broke way more than I wanted to. Driver side was pretty good. Passenger side was really bad. Had to drill them out. Made the broken end flat with a dremel. Centerpunch it...

    What is “Battle Short” on a 804 genset

    Was there a procedure to use this mode in combat? Was it only used if the set shut down due to a problem to get and keep it running? Just curious since it came up here.

    CNC Mill

    It is great. I love how you can copy and paste an entire setup from one job to another. If you have similar jobs or parts to make it really speeds things up. Tool library great as well put the P/N and vendor right in there easy to order more. Running 2010 & 2018 FANUC ROBODrill here; post...

    CNC Mill

    Fusion 360 is surprisingly good and cost effective compared to other programs. Started using it at work when we got a true CNC mill and had no CAM software. Realized it was included with our AutoCAD package. Worth it compared to MasterCAM have not found anything I could not do with it yet.

    Hard Fuel Line Leak at Hydraulic Head

    That's the problem I was having. Tried changing lines and even using a new sleeve. Still leaks. Many say these heads crack at #3. Can see the crack by eye. I have another head to try once it warms up and I have some more time. You may need a hydraulic head.

    Using a pallet jack to install/remove super singles

    I stand by the strap around the tire down to the jack. If the ground is pretty level and hard like concrete or good asphalt it should not go anywhere. simp5782 with the lean and jack method is very good I have done it that way on my truck. Takes a little more time but with no soldier B it seems...

    Hard Fuel Line Leak at Hydraulic Head

    I tried to get a new #3 line from TNJ Murray and I received what you received. The fitting was correct but metric on the hex and the compression sleeve came loose when I installed it. Injector side fitting was correct. I think these are made overseas. The bends were different I made an adapter...

    The Green Croc.... My monster KrAZ-255B1

    Very nice truck you have. Surely is a monster! Showed pictures to some Ukrainian coworkers who remember them from their military service. Whenever I see pictures like yours of driving thru a field or if I drive my truck on my lawn I can only imagine the mess that a battalion of these trucks and...

    What wheels are these?

    It is the difference between so called hub pilot and stud pilot I have learned from other posts here on this site. I am not an expert. I think the older trucks used the taper on the lug nut engaging the countersink in the wheel holes to center the wheels. Newer wheels have a small countersink...
