AM General decided to classify the Hummer as a class 3 Truck so it would not have to meet the crash requirements that Light Trucks have too. Much of the roof attach items on the early Slant Back Humvees is the same as the Hard Top Hummers. The doors, door hinges and door latches are definitely...

The shaft that attaches between the steering column and steering box is collapsible by design. Spend a hundred bucks and buy one so you can see it for yourself if you don't believe it is that way. It may make your future rides in your Humvee more comfortable since you won't be worrying about a...

The first two years of Hummers had the batteries beneath the right front seat and also had the B Cross Beam behind the front two seats, just like the Humvee. Also Humvees up to a certain year meet federal emissions standards. You just need to look at the emissions sticker on the left valve...

From memory, 60 lb ft for the flex plate bolts. Flex Plates cost less than $100 so it is a good thing to replace, because your bolts fell out somehow and the ring gear does wear, especially if the vehicle was difficult to start.

The military was buying new dodges with flat head sixes into the late sixties. If the vehicle did it's job, they kept buying it with none or minimal changes with maybe some bigger changes if something new came up. Same with the Humvee. To put the Cummins engine would require a very large...

Cummins came late to the light truck market. Wasn't it around 1989 when their six banger was put into a production light truck, before that just used in tractors and maybe other machinery? Too late for the Humvee which began production in 1985.

Put a screw into it.

I've been in two highway rollovers and if an item is not in your pocket or on your belt, you can't count on finding it or it being where you put or clipped it on the vehicle. Stuff goes everywhere and then mix darkness and water, and you may be in the dark without even a flashlight and pretty...

Is the bolt or stud that broke made of copper?

I took a photo of how the original piece of flashing was used. The fiberglass replica would work just fine, it just doesn't really ad in any strength to the vehicle like the original might. As mentioned before, it would have had a long round seal trapped beneath it's ridge and the bed to make a...

Since the engine is below the windshield, how would you go about positioning the blower through the hood? I'd Love to see the manifold and pulley system!

First step is to ask the seller for some contact info from some happy customers.

It's good that you have the under side of the lid that is able to work as a tray to catch any spilled drinks, because Humvees are bouncy. Might be good to seal up where the support struts pass through the lid and have a bungie to hold it down while deployed.

Be prepared to look carefully through the main body wire harness schematic and then cut it up to separate things. You can make a Humvee like a regular car where the brake and turn signals work without the operator having to do anything more than you do when you get into a car and start driving...

I've seen tall tops like that, but they were all two man tops. Came from a farm or ranch in Montana Maybe. They were all painted white and I saw photos of them about five or six years ago when they were being sold off.

You can buy a load tester like the one pictured for about twenty bucks. You will use it for the rest of your life.

The fuel tank and it's components have a spec that they need to meet for safety reasons so running a non spec drain plug is like using grade 5 hardware on ball joints where grade 8 is specified. "Looks the same and fits so it must be OK." Scary!

Hoods get switched all the time, especially from trucks that are being turned in. Some hoods from hard tops get put onto soft tops, thus hoods with the SA Armored Grilles and no footman loops being found on soft tops.

I've done your modification years ago as more of an anti theft device, because before the locking type of brake handle came along, there was a square tube that could be dropped over the shaft of the brake lever which would keep it from moving forward. I drilled in a slightly different position...

Sounds like you want to remove the thermostat from the system and make it run as cold as possible.
