    Civilian grease alternative to GAA?

    Like the title says. I'd like to find a good, easily sourced alternative to the GAA/G403 stuff I used last time I greased the vehicles. The real thing was quite expensive and is difficult to find. I'm going to hit all lube points on both trucks but would like something to use in place of GAA...

    Can anyone tell me what kind of cable is this?

    Came with a set of air compressors that I cannibalized to install in my HMMWV. It was originally part of the "Expedient Refueling System". Is this designed to plug into a genset, or a truck? One end has a heavy plug, the other end is positive and negative terminals. I'm trying to decide...

    Need to tap some power in the rear

    I'm putting an air system in the M1165 and will be mounting the air storage tank in the vicinity of the rear cross member. I need a tap for 24V to run the auto drain on the tank and the pressure switch relay. I took a look and can't find anything other than the main harness to the trailer...

    Best place to tap 24 volt in engine bay

    Putting in a 24V compressor which will be mounted near the windshield washer tank. Also a storage tank somewhere, location TBD. This will be for airing up after off roading. Thinking it through I'd like to tap some 24V power within the engine bay. The compressor draws up to 22 - 24 amps at...

    How not to tow your truck

    Are there any trailers big enough to haul an MRZR that work with a HMMWV?

    Looking to tow my MRZR and I want a military trailer for looks/parades. I can't seem to find a trailer that fits that is HMMWV-towable. It seems it will not fit in the M1101/1102 series trailers. MRZR dimensions: I have a civilian trailer and my HMMWV has a 2" hitch and that works fine...

    This is showing up in the auctions now: The USMC letters will be painted over prior to pick up. Is this a policy change?

    Exhaust hose for HMMWV garage startup?

    Anyone using a flexible hose like a Fume-a-Vent for HMMWV startup? My HMMWV is garaged and when started will make smoke. I can't leave my garage doors open to vent out the garage because of very cold temps in winter. Same issue with working in the garage during the winter, can't leave the...

    A couple of electrical questions (taking power off the starter).

    I can't seem to find much in the archives to help me on these two question. I am going to be running some high amperage cables from the starter to the front bumper for a Sherpa electric winch installation. First question, the winch connections are currently covered by a layer of that...

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    This isn't a hypothetical. So let's say you were going to buy a parts truck and cannibalize it for hard-to-get spares. Currently I am thinking that I may do just that. And let's say your driving truck is a late model ECV/REV B. Assuming you didn't have space to store the truck more than...

    Rear winch suggestions

    McSpeed’s thread on getting stuck has me considering adding a rear winch to my M1165A1. I do go in the backcountry a lot and getting stuck is a real concern. I will shortly have a 17K front mount winch permanently installed. I am just toying with options, but I am wondering what people who...

    Pawn Stars look at a HMMWV

    From their new spin-off show, "Pawn Stars Do America". Advance to about 36:43 for the scene. The Pawn Stars passed. I would have also - the 6.5 non-turbo doesn't have the juice to run up and down I-70 in Colorado. https://play.history.com/shows/pawn-stars-do-america/season-1/episode-1
