Most inexpensive battery load testers are just a high power resistor that can be set at different values (i.e. 1,000A @ 12V = 0.012 ohms, or 12 milliohms, which would in theory have to be 12kW (the voltage drops when the battery is loaded, so the actual dissipated power is lower) but in order to...

I didn’t see the cables and presumed that a car shop would have a real load tester, which you are right, would require a heavy gauge cable to load the battery at 1,200A.

If the battery delivered 937A at 12.45V that’s still a great battery as the SAE standard considers the pass criteria based on the battery staying at 7.2V or above for 30 seconds at 0F, and based on the ambient temperature between 60F and 70F (just guessing the temperature at that shop) the...

Yes, it can flex about 1/8”? It’s solid flat steel bar, if this is flimsy, then the other brushguards would maybe fall closer to the cardboard category :) I was asking about the support more in terms for the time when the bar may be hitting something, like in an off road situation, where the...

I have that same brushguard (Luverne copy) and it's perhaps the stiffest, it weighs around 75-100 lbs.

How did you secure the two outside bolts? There is some meat behind the top bolt on that flange, how about for the bottom bolt?

Looks great, looks "legit"

Looks good! Did you use the brackets that came with the brushguard and cut & drilled on one side (the outside)?

In the manual it's called "Tripod Plate Assembly" P/N 12518385: (I am looking for one also)

I also installed 2 x Group 65 and added some non-flammable foam to fill the plastic tray gaps and absorb vibrations. Indeed volts are volts and amps are amps, however there are a few other factors that differentiate batteries: 1. Total charge/ discharge cycles 2. Charge efficiency- over time...

I also went with Walmart batteries, AGM Group 65 Platinum series, made by East Penn, rated at 750A CCA (on my batteries it is listed at 775 CCA). Price went up from $150 to $170, but still very good for AGM with 48 month warranty. They seem to be the East Penn Deka Intimidator 9A65 equivalent...

Hi, sorry about missing your question, I just now saw your post. I have not done anything to the springs, my springs and overall suspension is very smooth with the tires around 25psi and was just looking for more lift as I feel the truck looks on the lower side.

What brand/ type spring compressors are you using?

I bought a backup turbo center manifold on epay as I am planning to add a few sensors to measure boost and temperature as well as experimenting with water-methanol injection. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334305097902 The part is listed as NOS and it came in a box with an AMG label, however it is...

I had to do some research on this one, because like you say, this an armored HMMWV with 3-4” all around and was thinking that either a big rig hit it at high speed or it fell/ rolled from some serious height in order to fold like that…as it turns out, it happened in 2009 in TX on 35, the Humvee...

Not sure if it's the same exact material (the guy in the Ironman video has actually blue ones one his truck) but there are some 30mm polyurethane spacers made by Dobinson sold in Australia that come in blue or black - the surface pattern seems identical with the green ones:

Exactly! I posted somewhere in the past links from Chinese companies selling fake Wilwood brake pads for $5-15 each, like the one below: https://www.lroemparts.com/OEM-HMMWV-M1151-Military-Truck-Brake-Pad-2530-01-568-4462-5717285-12835400-38 Just like with all the fake Chinese HMMWV parts...

Both my USMC REV trucks have the DWF components except for the exhausts. When I looked behind the rear fender there is no fender reinforcement bracket #9, P/N 12339848, like it is shown in the latest TM-9-2320 387-24P manual available online dated August 31, 2009 (which also, it doesn't seem...

Thank you!
