    Algae in the fuel tank

    I guess I'm assuming that you would have to drop the tank for that, but I haven't looked to see where the sender is. Sounds like its easier than I assumed.

    Algae in the fuel tank

    Can you use some sort of bore snake/camera through the fill neck to check for this? And why doesn't the fuel filter protect the IP?

    Looking for info on HMMWV transmission rebuilt marking

    Looks like a fetus to me :ROFLMAO:

    Where to find real CARC?

    Ended up with type IX CARC because that's what I could find. I used an MSA Millenium mask with a PAPR setup (powered air purifying respirator) and a new NBC filter which worked wonderfully. The positive pressure ensures that even without a perfect seal you wont be breating anything that doesnt...

    CTIS DASH PICS

    This is secondhand information, but I heard a story of a guy who had an H1 with CTIS and got a flat tire in a parking lot...apparently he had something set wrong and it resulted in all four tires going flat since they were all connected with the CTIS plumbing. Allegedly, could be a made up story...

    M1165

    Was that only certain years of manufacture, or all of them? I have a lead on 2021 MTR's, never installed

    M1165

    What about the bajas is so much better? Handling, braking, rain/snow, noise, etc?

    Root cause of engine swap?!

    Mine was full of sand and there was no air filter installed, lol.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Lol, its a thing you need on the newer aluminum roofs of m1151's. Most of them in service have armored roof overlays that keep water from getting into the top of the doors. If they remove that piece during the demil process, all of the rain will run down the roof and right into your doors. The...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Made some rain gutters out of 1/4" thick aluminum sheets. I think they look better than the OEM rain gutters (looks like it has the armored roof now). Also added a turret hole cap, installed a new connector for the main alternator 24v output (had to purchase a giant hydraulic crimp tool for...

    Where to find real CARC?

    I wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, sorry if it came off that way. I was just trying to make an analogy. And I would gladly use a CARC substitute if someone could make one that actually looks like CARC. I've used Rapco, I've used Behr, and I've spend hours online researching other...

    Where to find real CARC?

    Did I say anything to indicate that I was playing fast and loose with safety? I said I am reading and complying with the material safety data sheets, which is what everyone should do when handling any chemical. Saying paint should be banned because its dangerous is like saying guns should be...

    Where to find real CARC?

    By the way I found a place that will sell it to me. Feel free to PM me for details.

    Where to find real CARC?

    This post is full of sensationalism. There are 5 different types of CARC and they have become much safer over the years. I'm going to be using low VOC type IV waterborn CARC which is much different than what was sprayed decades ago. I already obtained and reviewed the MSDS sheet for type IV...

    Not all heros wear capes :ROFLMAO:

    Where to find real CARC?

    Yeah that's Gillespie paint, same stuff that Rapco sells. I've used it before and it's not bad paint. It's just not 100% as flat as CARC, and I want to stay authentic as possible.

    Where to find real CARC?

    So glad the government is keeping us safe from paint, meanwhile giving fully armored humvees to the taliban :rolleyes: I just want to spray the stuff outdoors with a respirator, looking to buy the water based stuff. Shouldn't be a big deal.
