    6.2 splashing from the intake when cold

    Hello everyone! A brief reflection on my diagnosis please. A colleague of mine has an H1 with the classic 6.2 that I am looking after. If the car stands still for a long time and is cold, you can hear it "knocking back" from the intake. No abnormal rattling or mechanical noises. The car has...

    Civilian grease alternative to GAA?

    For this I use exactly the standard one-for-all grease that I use for all grease nipples for universal joints or other lubrication points. It comes in different colors and everyone likes to write "Especially for ... " on it. In the end, it is more important that you lubricate regularly and not...

    change old hydraulic -> new hydraulic pump/system

    Okay... got it. Trying to understand what the difference is. I would have assumed it was the brakket for holding the pump. Okay... that could have a much bigger impact.

    change old hydraulic -> new hydraulic pump/system

    Am I right in assuming that you think I still have the old V-belt system? No no, in mine, and I think in every 1123, the separate belt system should be standard.

    change old hydraulic -> new hydraulic pump/system

    Hi everyone As I'm thinking of replacing my servo pump, I thought to myself... why not switch to the new system? So from the pump with the reservoir integrated to the new one with the reservoir on the top left. As I have never seen the newer system, I don't know exactly what the differences...

Hence my question about where to buy it cheaply. addendum... sorry... was lazy. I looked for myself... are all around 300$... you don't have to save...

    Mileage On Humvees

    My speedometer is very accurate. You can check it in parallel with a navigation app on your cell phone. And if it is correct, why should the odometer be incorrect?

    New HMMWV owner here

    You miss your chance of something irretrievable that everyone warned you about but you went through with it. Like not being there for the birth of your child because there was snow outside and everyone said it was dangerous!
