Durability testing Optimizer HMMWV suspension
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
I have been working on developing a new suspension kit for the HMMWV. That I am calling the Optimizer suspension kit. The purpose of the kit is to increase travel, softer ride and better off road performance wile still being bolt on. Today I am testing the durability of the suspension trying to find any weak points.

Why not to check oil level when your engine is running
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
Description: In my recent video of performing an oil change I made a mistake in checking the oil level with the engine running. A viewer brought this to my attention. I then was curious how much of a difference is there between checking the oil level with the engine off and with the engine on.

However, depending on the ride you are trying to achieve, you need to understand the effects that can occu...
Why does my truck ride so rough?
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 роки тому
A rough ride is opinion base and is a personal reference. The only real way to compare a rough ride is to compare 2 vehicles side by side and have driven both of them. My view on HMMWV is the suspension system is over sprung for my use of the truck. I want to lower the payload capacity which lower my GVW and thus give me a softer ride. I plan on making these changes to vehicle by ways of reduci...
Does a spring lose its rate?
Переглядів 4813 роки тому
In this video I will asking the question does a spring lose its rate? I will be testing this theory using a front HMMWV 5591251 spring. This spring was removed from my HMMWV and I am estimated the age of the spring to be around 19 year old. If you have additional questions or comments please leave them below.

fuel in the engine oil
do you happen to sell these upper mounts it would be awesome to mount some king coil overs on the hmmwv
You ready testing in the front also?
I installed the front coilovers this summer and have been testing since. Still working on tuning and finding what works best.
@@kookertech Cool, hope you can make s video about front also.
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!
New sub - have a m998 with the 6.2 as well-thanks for the walkthrough
NO-NOs ...NOT using an Impact Socket and NOT wearing safety goggles!!!😩
😎👍
hey, I really need help!!!! I need to find some suspension from Fox for my 85 HMMWV front and rear what do you recommend?
I would start calling anyone who is a fox dealer.
Or run Rod Hall Suspension that is a Fox shock.
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!
🌈🌻ThankYou
This guy with his hip hop beats and recanted advice makes me think of a moron trying too hard.
great video, thank you
Dumb question: Can you do this without taking the tire off?
yes
Thank you!
I think you definitely over torqued them. I wouldn't go ham with the impact as much.
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.
Have you heard of using Nissan armada 4x4 springs on the hmmwv?
I have but I have not experimented with them yet. I ended up doing coil overs instead.
I work with a ton of old school operators and we run big heavy equipment and its a cardinal sin to start a piece of equipment without first checking the oil and trans fluid even when it’s dead of winter. I always find the same results cold it will over read, running & warm in range same with the transmission
I don't know why I started engine to check for the oil in the video. I do know its not the correct method. I did make a second video covering this mistake.
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.
Good video 👍 Gutes Video🙂
Great!
Great video.
Hey brother, new subscriber here. Looking forward to hearing more about this
Thank you for watching and commenting! I will be working on the next stage which is getting the coil overs on the front suspension this winter. I also post small updates on my Instagram as well @kookertech if you are interested.
Hello, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this trucks. I just bought one and I am trying to get all the info in order to restore and use this great vehicle. Many years ago I restored an M37B1 (21 years ago) and I was missing this sensation of driving and fixing a military vehicle. I notice that you have commercial tires on your humvee, I think they are the Interco TrXus Mud Terrain Tires RXM-32. I would like to know your opinion about them. I will have to change tires soon. Thanks
Thank you for watching and commenting! Yes you are correct about my tire choice. I like them quite a bit. It’s hard to gauge them against the OEM tires I had on the truck previously because the OEM ones where badly warn when I got them and the alignment was also off. These bad tires and alignment caused the truck to go into a power slide at 30 mph on wet pavement and it was white nuckle driving everything I went. The new tires plus the alignment have been working great no issues. Tire wear is good, tire hum is very low and handles great in wet weather, off road no issues as well. I would buy them again once they wear out.
@@kookertech I saw that another user included a plastic blue ring inside in order to facilitate when he first assemble them.
A lot of people use them to get rid of the run flats in the wheel. They appear to work very well. Hutchinson the manufacturer of the H1 and Hmmwv wheels also makes an insert like that as well but rubber. I have the part number posted on our website.
I’d enjoy meeting up and doing some trail rides. Great video Josh.
Next time we are doing a trail ride I’ll send you a message.
looks like a great trip!!
Thank you for watching! If you are interested in going us next let’s us know.
@@kookertech thanks I definitely will!
Looks like it is working well! Definitely need to increase rebound dampening in the rear.
Thank your sir! It’s been a lot of fun driving it. I’ve done 1 revalve since this video. Bilstein reviewed my video and gave a me suggested shim stack which increases dampening and rebound. It performed much better. I am about to do another revalve before winter comes and give it another shot. I have posted more videos of testing on the Kooker Tech Instagram @kookertech.
Looks like fun!!!
Looks like an awesome time!
Your welcome to come next year!
Looks like a great time
Thank you for watching lol
Nice! That kit looks so much better over stock. Excited to see when you are going start selling these!
These will improve flex and softer ride.
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
Very informative! Thank you!
you have well explained the rut of the activity 👍
Lol
TM means technical manual so you don't need to say TM manual :)
Nice. You make it look simple. Could you do a video on transmission oil and filter change?
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.
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.
Thank Good 🙋🤝💓🙏
awesome video! thanks for stressing the importance of safety!!
How fast was that humvee going? It looks way faster than 65 mph
Thank you for watching and commenting! It looks fast and sounds fast and I had it to the floor but I think I was only doing about 40-45 MPH.

That's great and very cool vidz bro. Keep it up and more vidz to come. Stay Safe Always

This is sweet! Great idea for adopting into the hummer. Can’t wait to see it on the up coming project. Great vid Josh!
Thank you for watching and replying. I hope to test my idea for the rear end this winter.
Winter is coming. Test it in the snow! That would be sweet.
Thank you for watching and commenting. At the rate I’m going I will be testing in the snow lol.
Truck sounds good! Stock exhaust?
All stock
Great video! I always appreciate when the need tools are included in the video and description. 👍🍻
Thank you for watching and commenting I’m glad you enjoyed it!
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.
