What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

Pushing some white stuff. The truck handles it well!

Well I hate to create posts like this, but I'll admit I'm an old poop and really slow and do dumb things.

The Florida inferno abated, and with temps in the 70's I decided it was time to check the belts. Yeah, I changed them all three years ago when I first received the HMMWV, but two looked warn, Since I had matched replacements in hand, and nothing to do today, I figured I would change them all.

Six hours later, I finished!



Not proud, but I did not remember the easy way I found to do it last time, so I had to figure it out again. Now I know. And this time I am going to write it down!

Well... The more times you change the belts the better you will get at doing it. Kinda sucks, but at least YOU did it.

If you pull a pump out…replace it, there is nothing gain by reinstalling an old injection pump, working or not, Murphy lives in all trucks, the seals you can’t get to like the front shaft seal also fail and will leak from the weep hole, the advance plunger is easy but the plungers rust.

I have a replacement pump on order.

easy enough to diagnose a leaking advance plunger seal. Otherwise the pump is functional. Unfortunately the valley was loaded with sand so the pump has enough corrosion to warrant replacement.
