    How many seals in the front hub of a 1991 M932 American General?

    Post a pict, although my problem mimicked a real seal leak. Check the gear oil level first in the pumpkin. Mine was totally overfilled, and when it got hot, came out of somewhere, and leaked down to bolts on the axle by the rim, but splattered a bit when driven, so looked like a hub leak...

    M939 heater core bypass

    They should definitely stop all flow. Mine leaked (twice now) and I've shut them off for good (yes, no heat in the winter) It is possible that the valves let through something, as stated, just join them together if it won't stop. Those valves are the best idea ever, and mine are all hand tight.

    Humvee Led front and rear light conversion

    we've seen that ^^^ on some 5-tons after an all LED conversion. Forgot about that.

    Humvee Led front and rear light conversion

    Unless the bulbs are flat out DOA, you're probably chasing a ground issue. Test the bulbs from known working on the other side just to be sure, then check your grounds (and feeds) with a multimeter. I've also seen Packard connectors go in a bit sideways and not make a great connection and...

    Swapped out lenses. They weren't too bad, but you couldn't see through them. Then I saw a small sand pile that needed some attention. https://youtu.be/42chklgpTb8

    That a great spot rcamacho, I'll second this one. My only "leak" actually comes down the soft top channel, then down onto the pillar, around it, onto where the windshield meets, and then into this spot. It's not a lot, but could ruin some electronics. My leak is probably a job for a light...

    Another GETT trailer

    Howdy Jon, if you need help on the refrigerant fill, I know a guy....[emoji16] (Sorry thread, inside joke, Jon is the one who helped me through mine over the phone, and if I remember right, a master AC certified tech, and been at this for over 20 years..) 9000?! Wow, I think mine moved 5...

    Securing a HMMWV

    Nothing earth shattering but I'll chime in. Battery cut off, necessary for PCB preservation, and to keep from starting. Absolutely necessary. Seriously, do it now if you haven't. Locking handles. Buy from the manufacturer, not EBay. Tobash mentioned GPS, an alternate is to put a Tile (Tile...

    Heck yeah. I had a broken one, and got it from kascar, cheap and the best noise reduction so far.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    I have my diffuser and sheets NOT in the MKT, and in the back of the 5-ton, so I can probably get a pict when I go see it this week. I'll measure thickness too. The diffuser is heavy (by comparison).

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Well, there it is. In American sizing, the full-size sheet pan is 26 by 18 in. A two thirds sheet pan (also referred to as a three quarter size sheet pan) is 21 by 15 in. A half sheet pan is 18 by 13 in; quarter sheets are 9 by 13 in. so not a 1/2 or 2/3.

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    The diffuser is nothing more than a stainless steel cut sheet, and the racks are just thinner. I used some stainless chains and hooks to complete mine. That said, I bought them from members on here, as I didn't know dimensions at first, and didn't want something that would twist and bend...

    For what it's worth, my 6.5 GEP didn't. It was a LA guard truck however.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I said I'd report back. Well, it's a block heater. I only got to run it for .5 an hour, and it didn't lift the temp needle, but it started up at 37 degrees with no smoke, so better than no heat. And no leaks is the best part. Just be ready with a bucket for the extra bit of antifreeze that...

    How did it go? Curious minds want to know.

    Do it before it gets too cold! $23 shipped is too cheap to pass up. Your HMMWV will love you for it. Got it on 'the Bay'. Kat's 11612, 41mm frost plug heater. 12:00 position. Will report back tomorrow how it behaves..

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Did the block heater. While it was easy. it was a little more at the bottom of the block than the 5-ton. When I punched it out, I totally soaked myself with antifreeze. Well, it's in, and will use it tomorrow. It's only 35 degrees spec'd at 6am tomorrow, but I'll try it out.

    Ohm the plugs regardless, that will tell you if you need to replace them. If you swap anyway, it's piece of mind knowing the age and condition. Just beware of swollen plugs potential before you get into it. Don't force, and you might want to invest / borrow a puller before you start.
