We all know are HumV have some built-in idiosyncrasies or just plain dumb not well thought out design IMO. After a new to me, first time going over, what stood out was "How the heck do you change the belts (easily) with that darn hose in the way (hard). Who thinks this stuff UP! More of a...

The in-tank fuel filter, sometimes called a sock or strainer or that dirty thing ie in the tank part number R12338556 is a one time purchase that after thirty years ( figure one dollar a year) shouldn't be a deal breaker. Looking around the web I see them for 24 to 56 bucks. IMO, not a bad...

Block, mask and SANDBLAST. I blast most everything I build or rebuild. Etch, prime, paint and WAIT. Fine something else to do. It can be a bit tricky and best to disassemble to the component level, But I have done it on vehicle when necessary with time saving results. Something about...

Where would you just send the regulator to? I am thinking that is important to know, but what if the other parts are bad. Wondering and confused, CAMO

That's true, BUT it maybe a little loose fit. I had to wrap the edge with tape , trim it to hide in the channel taking up the differance. Now I can see clearly too, CAMO

Here's a quick picture of bracket that needs reworked. Well, sort of. the two ears or bosses that need to be cutoff of the old emergency brake caliper hanger. Look at all the pitted deep rust. You bid on the cleanest one on the lot. Fuel tank tells it ALL ! 1986 New to you, NOT! If you...

The sock / strainer is available but can be pricey. I have seen $22 to $38 bucks. It is more than a filter. The round end has a sort of check valve / release should the filter clog, the little flapper will open due to a clog or if fuel gels in the fine filter medium. (Cold waxie fuel and...

It worked when it left the factory. Thirty years later... all the things and more stated have taken a toll. Electrical FIX it, tires you can patch, CAMO

Late design fuel sender is a series of magnetic glass enclosed "reed switches" with a resistive network. Float goes up and down in a tube with a magnet attached. Simpleton design and works. Only problem is gauge moves in discrete steps, I think 8 maybe 7. No inbetween reads. Analog or...

It's not that hard. Got the complete kit? Layout the parts it will make sense. The bigger problem is drilling out the rivets. Pain In the BUTT, BUT I used an air hammer with sharpen chisel at an angle that sheared the them off 1 2 3 QUICK. No crazy angles to deal with a drill motor. Tap...

Which alternator... 60 amp, 100 amp or 200 amp. All Amps are not equal, CAMO

Pretty hard to have a timing issue, unless IP pump shaft severed, timing chain skip a tooth or Samson bent the Injector lines into a pretzel. I am not seeing timing as an issue, CAMO

Just started the HumV and it coughed a couple of times. It's now quarantined to the driveway six feet from the Toyota. Good reason to stay home and work on it, CAMO

HumV going to be mad as heck, if adding NISSAN parts to AM GENERAL. Just saying, CAMO

Many will say add a ground wire kit. IMO remove all the grounding connection points, wire brush (real good) all connections and the metal attachment points. Get the bolts too or replace. When done spray or brush "red glyptal" coating. Search for the little bottle, about $14. paint in up real...

Not the first time this has happen. When these flakey box conditions present themselves I have joked "drain out the water" in past posts. Been there, done that. Hummwv might have been a swimmer in its previous life. Was it a Marine truck or has fording features? Happens more that you...

It's not easy like a gas engine where a couple of bolts pop it off and peek inside. or fix the darn leak. IMO, by the time one tears into the diesel intake, IP lines, maybe pull the air cleaner, alternator, push back hoses , wires, etc. I don't want to have to do that again for a leak. Today...

That's going to suck with the windshield down. Can't see anyway with all the bugs, CAMO

Been over this before. In the RUN position, other circuits will still be energized like control box, injector pump solenoid, maybe cold advance solenoid (if cold), gauges and heater, wiper, (if on) While not much it is an added drain. If 4L80 transmission add that to. Not really an...

OOOhh now I see. Good pictures worth a 1000 words, CAMO
