My HumV bookshelf. No computer required.
Let your fingers do the walking and free, CAMO
TOBASH, Old timers kicking in here. Brake cleaner or something. So you are ready for that alignment. YEA !!
If you like, highlight what they found or had adjusted to get it the way you want. Like minds want to know.
1, Is a 24 volt unit? Switched 24 volts off of either circuit...
IMO, I wouldn't waste my time or money on an alignment till I had new tires and balance them, along with a GOOD check of all steering components and suspension. Anything out of specification gets new. All these parts work in concert. Just to many wear items to try and compensate for. IMO...
Picture show...
Upgrading some of the steering components. NOS steering box, A2 column, turn signal control, etc.
Built steering wheel puller tool.
Fab new steering shaft / firewall seal.
Another day at the Hillbilly HumV Headquarters with the green gloves of grease, CAMO
The speedo doesn't use electricity. But it does use a speedo cable. Does that make sense? Wire the heep halo effect lights for daytime driving light. That should signal batman your on the way.
This electricity thing is shocking. Disconnect the batteries before... you know the drill and...
Not sure on the fuel return line with the braided cover is the same used here (sounds like it). Diesel shops (E pay sellers too) seem to think a lot of it. At first it seemed like the magic hose with no clamp needed per sales pitch. Those little GM OEM clamps on the injectors can be a tricky...
Thanks for sharing Warrior Dude. I knew I knew I remembered seeing this somewhere. Black and white too! Mom said "Don't sit so close to the "blank" TV !! Look at us now... computer screen's EVERYWHERE ! Still have a couple of good brain cell left, LOL
Think MoM was right?
Saw this during a...
Good to know somebody read this stuff, LOL
Thanks for messing, TOBASH, too funny.
Bear craps in the woods. One of the gas distributor once ran a "Tiger in your tank" performance fuel ??. Guess I had a brain flashback. Tony the Tiger was on the cereal box.
HUMMWV's... THERE GREAT !!, CAMO
This can be easy with the TM's and a voltmeter or simple probe type test light for 24 volts.
Light switch in the SERVICE and PANEL BRIGHT position. (there are knock off new light controls. Just know could be good deal or ??)
At dimmer switch on floor, lead# 16A should have battery voltage...
Watch out for imported parts. Ask before buying. If sale staff stumbles or not sure of product, move on. Control arm bushing can, but not so much be an issue. Any of the ball joints, tie rods ends, idler. Any of the parts with a ball / socket joint are working under loads. There are...
See my post in "What have you done to your ...." see spring change out. That's what I went thur playing the spring game. A little overkill, but what the heck, it was fun.
More to old HUMMWV than paint, CAMO
Not an expert, but a good observer and not seeing the problem. Looks level based on the last pic.
My favorite tool is the creeper and hard hat. Get under there and start creepping, moving thing around with small pry bar, When it gets dark outside study the TM's looking and matching parts up...
"What's in your tank?" Here's what you could find.
My new to me HUMMWV. Well, maybe not so new.
AM General that's good. Date code 2-86 That's old. Same as the truck, HUH?
No show stopper on the outside.
Sludge catcher on the inside.
A dirty sock too. Just one.
And this thing that...
From the "homeboy humv" workbench... The brake caliper piston tool. A MUST HAVE for putting the squeeze on those little buggers.
The problem piston. New pads, new rotors = new headache. Have to turn and push at the same time.
It's a idea, start or fart.
Hey, that was easier that I...
Believe older ones would be steel stamped and variable rate / HD will be a casting. Lookie here > https://www.flashoffroad.com/Maintenance/FrontEnd/springs/springs_1.htm <
for types of springs set-ups and part numbers. Think about the the loading you plan on. It is easy to end up with a...
Found some pictures of the A2 suspension I did 2 years ago. Lots of iron and parts removed to the scrap bin.
All the big stuff
Weak springs
All of the nuts and bolts replaced. About $150 bucks worth.
New parts color match painted
LOOKin GOOD FROM HERE...OVER AND OUT. CAMO
Hello sue,
Yes there is a mod to cut out a metal baffle ?? see this > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngmZHvhwhmk&t=106s <
Some of the comments for this mod go either way. Does make sense in some ways ?? Hard to say without some flow rate to see what's going on.
Diesels engines do like...
