    What's stuck in my Brake Rotor

    Ive seen differing spring steel clips and pins inserted in rotor slots like that. I have heard that certain styles are to balance out some annoying vibration in that rotational mass. Ive heard that other styles are to attenuate squealing/harmonic vibrations

    Buyer's Regret?

    If you take your time to get a good unit from the auction its really a fun vehicle to putz around in. Just add 15 minutes to any trip because someone will stop and want to talk to you about it. If you need it to be able to travel on the freeway, spend the extra money to get one with the...

    Hmmwv is so unique. But I wonder why a few things

    Lots of crazy conjecture in this thread. The HMMWV was designed to replace the MUTT, and the CUCV. The MUTT was great offroad, but couldn't carry much and had a dangerous rollover propensity. In order to carry the 1 1/4 ton load of the CUCV it would have had to have a really high center of...

    Camo

    Ive used rapco for years. The carc substitute green and brown seem to be a perfect match. The black, though, is not flat enough in my opinion. I found that rustoleum camo ultra flat black is perfect for the black areas

    Authentic Side Mirrors

    Yeah, it seems like one style is older and discontinued in favor of the newer style direct replacement as they are for the same application. I looked at Kascar's website...it only has pics of rounded corners. It does list one tan one as "new style" but shows same stock photo. I am not sure which...

    Authentic Side Mirrors

    They have an 800 number you can call for the nearest distributor. They list the TOP distributors on the website but none are really near you.

    Fuel filters priming

    My first time messing with an LMTV was in a storage lot trying to see if it would start. There just happened to be a mobile diesel mechanic there working on someone else's semi that had come over to check out the cool army truck. He explained how the system worked like a common rail through the...

    Fuel filters priming

    My understanding is what Will said. There is no cracking of lines to bleed air like many diesels. You pump the primer pump to fill both filters and the fuel goes into the gallery in the head and back through the pressure regulator and returns to the tank pushing any air in front of it. I think...

    Has anyone seen this AWESOME spare tire rack system?

    I looked too. It looks to be a limited run (1000?) for a mil contract or something. If that's the case, there should be some floating around out there somewhere. If not, its information for someone to fab up for themselves.

    Axle broken? M998 front wheels not turning in shallow snow

    Did you get to see the broken shaft? Im trying to think why if you tried using the Brake/Throttle Modulation technique that the drivers side tire wouldn't turn while in High Lock? Unless the drive flange broke at the splines, or you weren't in High Lock when attempting BTM And like the other...

    Authentic Side Mirrors

    MLC= Main Land China! Just kidding. Ive seen two types of large GI mirrors. The rounded style, and the square style. They always have the NSN molded on the backside. The rounded style(older?) are the most common. And ive only seen them molded in green plastic with matching green plastic upper...
