    Gas pedal hard to press Normal?

    I am wondering if this is another issue. When I drive my Tesla or gasoline powered vehicles, the gas pedals are easier to depress. Is it possible that the original post is discussing the stronger springs that are probably used in these vehicles to prevent general enlisted from mashing on the...

    Thanks Milcom. Alignment done. Passenger rear tire was three degrees camber positive. Could only correct to 1.8 degrees positive. I’ve seen others complain about this. Is there a fix? Reposition upper ball joint towards center? Replace lower control arm bushings? Look for frame damage...

    My last 3 questions have not yet been answered so I am re-asking, as the questions are getting burried in this thread. 1) Getting ready to install back-up camera and monitor. Where are the best places to steal electricity in the dash and for the rear camera in a M1025? 2) Is there a preferred...

    Thanks Russojap. Nothing bent BUT dirt and rust might be tricking your eye. My buddy builds rally cars and is a talented Diesel and automotive mechanic. Gifted really. He will do the alignment. He did the above work. Best, T

    DUDE, I love ya', (I really do), but I thought I made it clear on this thread and in the "Whatcha' darn done lately" thread about all the suspension work done. Just as a reminder, I have just placed "new" 98+% good Goodyear military surplus tires on 24 bolt rims (that have been balanced)...

    So. I took a look at the flasher controller. Took a picture. My question is... Is it compatible with LED flasher lights???

    So getting ready to install back-up camera and monitor. Where are the best places to steal electricity in the dash and for the rear camera in a M1025? I began to look at the gauges and the left bulb won't light. Looks like I will need to disconnect battery and open dash and check all the...

    M1101 with stuck brake adjustment handles on driver's side

    Yes, but for initial penetration and water displacement I like WD40. Then I will use your suggestion. Thanks, T

    I'm sorry if my message made it look like I don't know how a cable driven speedo works. There is a square or hexagonal cable within the sheath that gets turned by the gear in the tranny and keys into a gear in the rear of the speedo. My point was that all the electrics ain't working while the...

    That is exactly the area. I'll use silicon sheet for longevity! Thanks guys. Wire Fox, thanks, but I think REF and Milcon hit it out of the park. Thanks one and all!!!!!! Now I just was going through my parts inventory and low and behold, I found an LED light set I ordered in 2017. I was...

    Now that I'm driving her more often I'm noticing all sorts of sounds. When she warms up, there is a hissing sound coming out of the engine bay while I'm driving. Not overly loud, but definitely there. Come and goes at street speed. NO RAD OVERFLOW seen (I checked). Occasional valve tap at...

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    Not sure I understand. The HMMWV is in the air. You sure the shocks don’t contain Helium? I hope you really enjoy your rig. How does she ride Highway and on the streets with those stiff springs? Best, T

    M1101 with stuck brake adjustment handles on driver's side

    My trailer and I live near the ocean. Rust is the norm. Left trailer brake handle won't turn to adjust. Right "passenger's side" handle is fine. I was WD-40'ing things and noticed the handle won't rotate to adjust on the left. Is this a common issue and what should I do? Gonna use a fabric...
