Super understandable videos! I come from Germany and drive a 1986 M998 myself in my spare time. I'm always happy when I find / see such maintenance videos here. Thank you very much and Greetings from Germany
Thank you! I hope all is well in Germany! I plan on making more videos on basic repairs and maintenance. If you are looking for more information you are welcome to email me.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I feel staying caught up on your maintenance is a good start to keeping vehicle running long as possible and to get the most enjoyment out of it.
Always, always remove the fill plug before removing the drain plug. If you remove the drain plug first and for some reason can't remove the fill plug you are screwed! Other than that great video and very informative! Thanks!
Hey buddy thanks for the video I like that they put a list of what tools you need and what capacities and torque ratings in the description that’s super helpful thank you
Two tips on jack safety. You should also have a second point of contact supporting the truck in case the first fails. You should put the tire under the truck as a third point just to keep the truck off of you in case all fails.
Pretty good but you did miss the most important part of the hub service, the spindle washers inside the hub need to be changed annually if you use the vehicle regularly, otherwise they can weaken and break causing the wheel to literally fall out of the hub, also you will not find required fluids in the regular TM 280 series, you will need the LO (Lubrication Order) for that.
Thank you for watching and commenting! You are correct this video just focus on changing the oil it is very important to check the spindle nut on a regular maintenance.
How do you know when the fluid needs replaced or is there a general every so many miles thing ? Edit: that Teflon gasket around the top of the fill plug can be found at any hardware store and I also use them as wipes for my suppressors. I would double whammy that thing tape plus Teflon washer.
I will check in the TM for this information on when to change and check the gear oil. I do know they want you to do a full hub inspection each time you open up the hubs. Your are correct the extra teflon tape around the fill wouldn't hurt. I was just following the TM as much as possible.
Thank you for watching and commenting! There are a few different ways to get your hands on a HMMWV one is Gov Planet the other would be classifieds such Facebook Market place, Craigslist etc… If you would like I can a a video on how I bought my HMMWV.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes. I’m actually working on a lower shock mount design so you can easy build you own custom shock mount for custom shocks. More pics of that on my Instagram or Facebook page.
Thank you for watching. It’s possible but these lug nuts are locking. Unlike regular lug nuts where you can spin them off by hand once you break them lose.
Tip, check to see if you can get the fill plug loose first before the drain plug.
This is a great tip and should be followed when changing any fluids.

@@kookertech Thanks, that's very nice :-)
I forgot yesterday that everything around me is OK.
You should check the spindle lock washer and half shaft fastener while you are in there. Even more important that changing your geared hub oil
Correct. I state that at the 20:10 mark on the video.
Maintenance is KEY to keeping them running reliability!

not to be over paranoid, I like to use wooden blocks for the jack stand, I never had a wooden block fail... jack stands I've seen fail. Great video!

Well presented. Can you a quick video of all points / places needed new oil and grease. Not a detailed step by step.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I can make that one of my next videos. I am currently working on a tire change video.

TM means technical manual so you don't need to say TM manual :)
Are you in the middle of projects? It appears that you are missing your shock absorber inside of a new coil spring.🍻🇺🇸

Dumb question: Can you do this without taking the tire off?
yes
I think you definitely over torqued them. I wouldn't go ham with the impact as much.

NO-NOs ...NOT using an Impact Socket and NOT wearing safety goggles!!!😩
