Can't go up... then go down. Pull the front wheels and let the truck down on some 2X4's . Could work? Hillbilly HumV garage, CAMO

Well, I tried from here. It has and can work. Here's some encouragement. Good luck. Oil and beer, CAMO

YEP. Might want that working this winter. What else is broken? CAMO

Not the easiest to get at and remove. It could be really gummed up... but I would bet a donut it can be saved in truck. Have to get air on it to assist the process. Have you applied air @ 150 PSI and then work on it? The guys with the fan that runs a lot or all the time IMO is not working...

Teflon tape, YES. Did one read the trouble shooting steps? Not seeing any hands going up. LOL My steps are the way I would go at it. Measure the Cadillac vavle solenoid coil resistance. Should be around 65 Ohms. +/- at the plug. Also check for any resistance each lead to ground. Should...

No No No not rainbows, CAMO

It is an an art form. Free hand... with a little practice for the HumV hobby can be fun and rewarding. AND wouldn't you know it... there's a TM (TB) for that. https://olive-drab.com/archive/od_tb43_0147_camo.pdf OR http://manuals.chudov.com/Camo-Paint-Manual.pdf Get a big BIG piece of...

I got to say "The 2X4 in the fan test is just plain crazy" said that and another word that can't be written LOL. That's why I painted a stripe to clearly see crutch action. Once one gets a feel for the goings on (proper operation) with the system it will make more sense between lock up and...

YOU ARE RIGHT !!! Should have caught that. I had the drawing in hand. BUT all is good . Tthe pictures shows the # 8 ga wire going to excite / regulator. You can see see the 568 taped back. Bear has 2020 vision. OP didn't ness with wires, just R&R. Sooo all is good. Bear at left just got...

Not the first time for the busted alternator stud / manifold bolt. If a 60 Amp unit, there is a upgraded mod to the lower - rear alternator support that goes down to the engine block. Ties into engine casting boss. Thicker strap and angle down to the block provides a much better support...

Military truck plus no load. Every rig I have owned. M38A1's, M37, M1008, M998 all ride like a buck board wagon. M1009 was like cloud. Nice on or off the road. Fast, quite, nimble handling, lockable and park-able LOL, best mileage, easy on the pocket book and to work on. Should have kept it...

They don't call them Special Forces for nothing, CAMO

I have one of those 4 sale PM me. West Coast, CAMO

OK... last call to the fan guys. Then I am blowing this thread off. LOL Don't know what one has. All rusted up, bent busted, went swimming in the ocean... whatever. This "tap and a wack" may work to free up the clutch AND you maybe just be that unlucky dude. To put it all together, look...

Always a way to work around the commercial / tax thing. Don't have a soft top... so my two cents would be to keep the water, snow, etc off the top. Maybe "pitch a tent" to get the center higher. Didn't papakb have a fix like that? Bear to the left, under the stars, CAMO

Don't be wacking the front. Can also get to it from the bottom. Rotate and work from different directions. the tap a bit harder. Needs a good shock. It's all in the stick. Soft wood and your just making splinters. Hard wood gets to the business. (did I just say that) Blunt metal bar...

Empty control box should be easier? Parts is parts, CAMO

Leave shroud in place. Might want to take take a study at the TM and then the truck. This is not that hard. Air pressure, a hammer, a stick. I could have done it in the time of writing this. Stick you nose it there and go at it, CAMO

Would be inserting to see where the final setting ends up? Piggy be riding smooth now, CAMO

Don't forget to apply the 150 PSI air at the hose going to the fan shroud. I use a coupling to the hose to air supply. Give it a blast of air...tap away at the hub ring, Loosen belts to rotate blade. Find a new spot and tap away. Spray some mechanic in a can with the tip of nozzle pipe bent...
