    Starter click

    If your batteries were the problem, it would also turn slowly. But I don't read that here. To me, it sounds like worn carbon brushes/collector on the starter itself. The motor simply doesn't get enough power because the internal connection isn't working. But it's always just a tiny bit enough...

    HMMWV - Humvee - M1151-A1 - Parking brake emergency safety switch replacement

    So you can't really consider this minimally invasive anymore. You've effectively changed the switch, but left the patient with a wound. Every muddy road, snow, and ice... Everything will now get stuck there. Despite warnings beforehand that this is not the correct way to do it... It's still a...

    Quick disconnect to fan

    Same here, but only from above. Try it from under the truck.. way easyer. Unless you have hands like toilet seats. Then it doesn't matter either. Same here... leeking quick connect after I opened it unnecessarily. Isn't that stupid? With the old V-belt versions, you HAVE to open the line to...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    When some people said weeks ago, “That was the last ride for this year. Now we're going to get rain and snow and salt on the roads.” Pff! What a bunch of wimps!

    Engine oel contamination in diesel

    Andy maybe also the reason why the CDR valve will deleted during the demil. And yes... i will proof this within the next days, but if remember right... the thiner hose of the both on the filler neck goes to "vent" at your picture.

    Engine oel contamination in diesel

    LOL... yes, I briefly thought about sabotage too. But no. I was in LA with my daughter for a few days and only got around to looking into the issue again the day before yesterday. And I think I've gotten a lot closer to solving it. First, I took a look at the diesel filter. Here you can see...

    Engine oel contamination in diesel

    Hi everyone, This may remind you of my thread about dirty fuel. I always had this black slime in my diesel and was convinced that I had filled up with crap and now it was messing up my tank. Now I have it again, and I can see it when I fill up (a small pool at the fuel nozzle). With all the...
