    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    He asked me how to fix the HMMWV, not his lungs or his life. He can use airplane paint remover. Specifically, to repair previously worked Aluminum, one needs to heat it.

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    Respectfully, I think you mean aluminum sheet because in your Ford the bed was probably made out of steel and you would not get a galvanic effect using steel, but in these vehicles, the floor is aluminum and as such, you will get a galvanic effect unless you use aluminum sheet

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    This is the flatbed in a truck and a used truck at that. I’m giving you instructions on how to get your truck up and running. If you are trying to make it look beautiful then you will need to drill out all the rivets and insert a new bed. If you want, I’m certain you could do limited bodywork...

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    Go under the truck and tamp it out. You can Aluminum TIG or MIG… Or use thin strips of Aluminum sheet on the underside to repair, using auto body epoxy from the underside with self tapping screws to hold in place. Then grind off the screws and Rhino line it. Alternatively, go to Tractor Supply...

    Which states are not HMMWV friendly?

    Sorry I’m late to the party… Scientifically, plasma, liquid, and gaseous states would be too hot and would not be friendly to HMMWV. What we really need is a map with colors to make this understandable. Map should be edited into PO first post. Colors are not important… Perhaps red (friendly)...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Many Standyne pumps look the same but have 4 and 6 and 8 cylinder function. THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME. I suggest you take out a crowbar, muscle open your wallet, and purchase the correct unit. The pain will fade after you spend over 8 hours to replace the unit. Money means little when you...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Injection pumps with their installation are painful. You will need to power wash the engine and then dry the area thoroughly so you don’t get dirt into the engine. Then you will need to remove the air intake and then you will need to loosen the injector lines at the fuel injectors and at the...

    DIY transmission rebuild

    Just to clarify, General motors torque converters need to be spun and click/clunk into position. Typically they click or clunk into position three times and after that, it is safe to install the transmission. In Eric‘s case, the final clunk did not occur and Eric needed to remove the Pump and...

    Do we know how long the auctions will continue?

    SR-71 have been retired. I await them coming to auction. Honestly, I have no idea why this question seems to pop up roughly every 6 months. They will auction until they are done… “Are we there yet?”… “We’ll get there when we get there. Don’t make me stop this car. “
