Rear locker, or sensor/switch?

There was kind of a famous Atlas I-6 write-up on the interweb a while ago which was turbo'd and hitting 400hp. If you google it you can probably find it. Same basic engine less one cylinder. Have you checked your engine's compression ...and is the Variable Cam Timing working properly? My tks...

If I was going to cut the 'flaps' ...I would start by just cutting one first. Preferrably the bottom flap ...so bugs could get washed out. That might be all that's necessary. Then a 2nd one if that doesn't work. They're there to keep bugs from crawling in and nesting (which I've had happen in...

I was doing something in the engine compartment the other day. I've always been somewhat curious what the thought-process was by the engineers on the vented battery box? Obviously it cost more to implement. I think it's a cool accessory, but I wonder how useful it really is? I suppose in hot...

One option would be behind the rear seat backrest. Then fabricate a cover so it doesn't look like an amp. (or leave it uncovered). You could pull off the pass side rear plastic and see if there's enough room back there. I'm guessing no. Won't fit under the F seats either. One area where there...

Great! I hope you really like it, I think you will. I love mine, and most of the guys here love theirs! You're going back a few years, might give up a few options, however you're into a totally different type of vehicle. A very capable one. How many miles? What are your DIY or Mechanical...

Compressed air is easy, but easy isn't always good. It might be good if a guy knows what he's doing. Problem is, most guys don't. You've got a lot of teenage high schoolers who own these vehicles who don't have a lot of experience. And if your tubes have 2" of muck in them like mine did (when I...

Like I say, a thin piece of cable (like $2 at a hardware store) is easy to feed down the tubes and twist as needed to unclog a drain. You can keep re-using it ever couple years as needed.

Another method would be to take your truck to a leaf spring shop (there's usually one in a decent-sized metro place) ...and have your rig's springs re-arced. Usually doesn't cost very much. Tell them you want a 2" lift and they can do it. These guys are used to dealing with big truck springs day...

The side curtain air bags on a regular H3 there is a connector up by the roof at the air bag inflator, and another connector down by the lower seat belt retracting mechanism. So you have an intermediate cable behind the plastic panel on the B-pillar floor to roof. I've had the lower connector on...

Remove the ends and clean out. There are some youtube videos that show you where they are. Then add some hose onto the existing drain hoses and put into a 5 gal bucket (or onto the ground). If the tubes are plugged up, I bought a thin cable and put some tape on the end (so it wouldn't be sharp)...

I kind of agree with that comment. There was never much aftermarket support for the H3's compared to the Toyota FJ and XJ's. There is a whole Toyota and Jeep world (plus many yrs of parts interchangeability) which help incentivize aftermarket mfgrs to make aftermarket jeep parts. But then again...

You can still find XJ's that aren't very much money. Also, they made SO many more XJ's and for many more years than H3's. The I-5 H3's will all be blown or locked up in 5 years except those guys who rebuilt theirs while parts were avail. But yeah, definitely the good ones will be worth some money.

Increase. They're probably close to rock bottom right now. They look cool and of limited supply. That usually portends to good value retention for vehicles in nice condition. Also, depending how well electric vehicles are received, they might prove to be good vehicles to convert to electric...

You need one of these. Not cheap but in the end, worth the money. Best to keep water out in the first place: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265766166351

What are the temps going down the hwy? I think the first thing to do is establish how hot your engine REALLY is running ...before adding electric fans, etc. There's a strong chance something else is going on. Maybe it's not running hot, but the gauge temp sensor has drifted. The Alphas would...

Nice looking Hummer. I'm a big fan off hemi's .....but a new 3.7 (if you wanted to go the larger engine) ....completely rebuilt is about $4,500. That's a lot, but in the end, you could have your H3 up and going in about 2-3 weeks and not deal with 6 months of headaches to work out. It's going to...

So, did you find contaminates in the system? Sounds like there might have been. You probably know the micro-channel condensers have very small passages, and being parallel-flow, are really difficult if not impossible to get contaminates out of. *IF* you had them in your system. If there are a...

Just curious if you're building a dedicated trail rig, or one for DD use too? (Sorry I haven't been following your 'build')
