I've tried an older supplement called "Pro Trucker" given me by a friend in my 6.2L HMMWV. Not sure how much lubrication it brings, but it did help clean the injectors.
Now I'm thinking I need something for my 1987 tired old IP...
Glad for this thread.

I'll also give my appreciation for Jwade, he can't solve everything but he tries and having someone here interested in helping us is a lot more than many auction sites would do.

I'm wondering if those competing bidders understand the auction fee and sales tax add ons!
I agree with the suspicion that there may be a default on that sale.

Installed a new horn button today and between that and my open and inspect of the horn I now have a working horn.
I didn't get to drive yesterday due to heavy rains, and not feeling like going out much. But today I went raspberry picking at a local park and decided to take the Humvee. It...
Per 86sa's suggestion I drilled off the rivet heads Sunday and took a look inside. I couldn't find an adjustment screw, and I think I know what those look like. That said, I cleaned up the muddy exterior and dusted off the dirty interior, and then screwed it back together. On my horn body...

I also thought to drill a 1/4" hole through the flat so I could slip a dogtag chain through it. Now I wear my Hmmwv...
Since some new carbide burrs came in the mail today, I decided to try again on that broken transmission pan bolt. After cutting on the base of the broken extractor for several minutes I gave up and tried getting at it from the top again. I found I could just see it if I opened the engine access...
Mine is shot. Barely actuates and sounds terrible when it does. My horn button is also shot. Only works some of the time.
I see a member with some horn buttons here. But I don't see any horns for sale.
There are a lot of threads here about horns for deuces, but not much about the Humvee...
Thanks RWH. I'll see about a new half shaft. I'd rather replace than wonder. Then I will keep the take off as a spare. I will still take a good hard look at that wheel bearing. If all the other control arms have a lower grease fitting, that makes me wonder if that Bearing is still original. I...
Long time between updates. I've posted several small accomplishments to the "what have you done lately" thread instead of here.
I've completed the greasing as of today. I'll do the gp oil points this weekend.
My my plan to take this coming Thursday off and tear off the right front hub and...
Replaced the windshield wipers.
Pro-tip, while there are several sources of 11" heavy duty flat windshield wipers, NAPA, Trico, and others, as well as online auction vendors, the price varies and everyone wants shipping charges... except NAPA.
The hang up is that NAPA part 60-1150 is "out of...
