    Power Wagon and M101 transport California to Florida

    Good luck with the search as I have been in your shoes. With the crazy cost of fuel and the two spot load I would think you would be around 5k and I hope I'm wrong. Good luck, Mark

    Best way to remove rust from 24 bolts wheel?

    Lol sorry to bring your OCD to a boil LOL I really like the look of the silver studs and people alway comment how hard it must be to have to pull off all those "Lug nuts' to change a tire. The Matt/Satin Rustoleum paint really holds up compared flat paints. Try the silver paint wheel touch...

    Best way to remove rust from 24 bolts wheel?

    Stainless is not as strong as hardened steel. Just clean them and paint them besides changing them out is a PITA. Mark

    Best way to remove rust from 24 bolts wheel?

    That stud cleaner looks like a great product. I touch-up any discoloring studs with a silver wheel touch up pen and have been doing that for years. I cut up some rubber that just fits over the lug nuts and painted the wheels with some spray can Rustoleum matt black. Wheels always look great...

    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    Yep you called it right. Damn shame but that motor is trashed. I've seen debris do this as something has to give. Mark

    Humvee Cranking But Not Starting

    The default for the clutch fan is on and hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump keeps it disengaged. If any part of the system fails the fan will stay on and cool the engine. Mark

    Need suggestions on battery powered impact wrench for Airlift and front winch install

    Surprised nobody mentioned the Aircraft Dynamics gear. I have the 24v Bradley impact kit and with the torque multiplier it's a beast. Great thing is it's all powered by the trucks batteries. I also have an Aircraft Dynamics 24v very heavy duty drill. Just had to install the slave plug. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    I have had zero issues since I went with the red top Optimus. I also swear by the Solarizer unit to keep the batteries happy. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    Try to pull it by hand first to see if it moves. That amount of water is a really bad sign. Mark

    Top speed

    1991 M998 with the 6.5 and three speed. 24 bolt wheels with the Goodyear MTRS. I try to run between 60 and 62 and at that the motor is spinning fast. Mark

    Water in crankcase

    You can easily pull the engine over by hand with a wrench on the alternator. Go go slow and keep turning for a couple of minutes to make sure you've completed the cycles. If it clears the above test you may be ok. If it won't move then I would pull the glow plugs, spray in the holes with...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So am I to understand that the reason they went with these timed boxes is to prevent the driver from over heating the glow plugs via push button? Massive and expensive failure. Mark
