The new set is in - Yeah, these didn't come from eBay, but they also didn't fit that packaging description either. No label with NSN on it or anything - just the yellow mailing "bag" with the two rubbers sitting in the bottom. I've got them installed now. It's pretty warm outside, so I'm...
Those rips are both where the pins are. Good catch! It was definitely a chore both driving out the pins from the old ones and into the new ones. Maybe the pins themselves are oversized. I wasn't gentle either - the rubber was so hard and thick that I didn't really feel the need to be. That...
The hood is sitting pretty straight and flush. . . plus the top part of one strap broke, and the bottom part of the other broke. They were really tight to latch, but I kind of expected that, given that they were new. The rubber was somewhat stiff, but still bendable.
I really don't want to...
Yeah, I only changed out the rubber - the rest is the original latch. I can't remember exactly where I got them from, but I don't think it was an ebay item.
Edit: I got them from Big Mike.
So, I installed some brand spanking new hood latches last night, and when I came out this morning, this is what they looked like:
What did I do wrong? This is for an '89 6.2L - is there another size for the 6.5L HMMWVs? Is there some kind of a "trick" to these that I just didn't know about?
Roger that. Yeah, I'm going to get it cleaned up and see what happens next. I looked at this and at first thought it was a death sentence, lol. Then I said, "You have no idea what you're doing."
So, I'm used to just writing up a 2404 or 5988 and taking it to the motor pool office. As you can imagine, the first thing I did when I got my M998, was a standard-issue PMCS. But now there's no motor pool office.
That's why I need someone to please take a look at this photo and give me an...
Yeah, I'd say that sounds about right. Right now, today, without HB 506, you can still register and title a military vehicle in Idaho, if you have a title from out of state. It wasn't until just a few months ago, that things started getting problematic with military vehicles in Idaho. All in...
Those were my thoughts as well, and I spoke with someone this morning who is well-versed on all of this stuff. According to the amendment, if you don't have a form 97, you can get what's called a "conditional title". Outside of Idaho (and also how I was thinking), this could mean anything...
A nice little story about the serial number on the title being wrong (they just happened to notice as they pulled it out for me) and that it would take them some time to have the state fix it. My guess is that they had two M998s that they were selling, and that only one of them was titled (not...
Okay, so, yesterday was a pretty eventful day it seems. They amended HB 506 in the Senate.
Here's the amendment:
I bought mine from a dealer next door in Montana, and NOT directly from GovPlanet or any other contractor. For me, there is no form 97. Let's hope the amendment fails - this...
