    Maryland area HMMWV prices

    Thanks Coug, I appreciate the response. That's around where I was thinking. I had 12k in my head. It's a 4 man with a Maryland title. Replaced balancer and seal. New glowplugs and 1 half shaft. Also has a Tach and aftermarket alternator.

    Maryland area HMMWV prices

    Hi all. I have a 1991 M998 and im trying to get an idea of what its worth. Its a 6.2 with a 3 speed.

    Hard Top or a Soft Top?

    My first deuce was soft top and current is hard top. Hard top is way quieter. Unless I’m just losing my hearing from driving them.

    Converting From Generator to Alternator

    Pretty simple. The only issues were getting the belt/pulley to line up and kicking the bottom of the alternator out so it doesn't hit the oem bracket. I've seen other write ups where they cut the bracket to make it fit, but I didn't want to do that. The last picture is from the m35a2 just to...

    M35A2 Transmission Fluid Change

    I had 40 nd in my last deuce for a month or so. It shifted fine but when I went to 90w mineral gear oil it felt like the gears were a little more cushioned if that makes sense. I could feel the gears less through the shifter. Just my observation.

    Rear hub oil leak

    I have done all 4 rear hubs over the span of a few months due to leaks. The first one I replaced the cork and both seals, the rest just got the cork replaced. Upon inspection it looks like the cork is the main culprit. Also if your bearing nut is too loose it could also cause a leak. As for...

    Split/locking ring removal from the wheel on the 1952 M211. Inner tube replacement.

    Thats pretty brave not using a locking air chuck.

    Rims and tires

    Im a little confused. Are you talking about mounting a 17" tire on the 12 bolt 16.5" wheel?

    Looking at a Deuce, Has Some Issues

    It depends how mechanical you are. If you plan on driving it on the road you need to fix the brakes. The rears should lock up on a dirt road with not too much effort. Good luck.

    Inspect your MV's....

    I had loose u joint drive shaft bolts on both m35a2's and loose half shaft bolts on my m998. Definitely good advice to do a complete inspection before you go haulin down the road.

    New guy, Punta Gorda, Florida

    I was just thinking yesterday that a deuce is not a hot weather vehicle. And that was around 80 degrees. Welcome to the hobby from Maryland.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Changed my fuel filters for the first time in 22 years if I’m reading the date code correctly. Funny thing is that it ran good before the change. The only difference I notice is a higher idle, little higher egts, and maybe a little more power. Sounds better too.
