    Maintenance Question

    I'm sure you do. I'm guessing I'll be borrowing a few . Happy Turkey Day to you Craig

    Maintenance Question

    I know this is an old post. Did you ever come up with a super deep socket. I just ran into this very thing about 4 days ago. I think you can just use a box end wrench once you get the top wire fitting off the top of the tube. My problem initially was that while trying to take off the top fitting...

    Removing fuel tank; what am I doing wrong?

    He's missing that piece remember. that's why he is dropping tank to clean it.

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    I can't believe there is still a 90's auction truck that hasn't already been titled someplace. I'd just use the same info on the existing title. basically your just changing the name of the new registered owner and the State in which the HMMWV now resides. The data plate on the drivers side by...

    M998 HMMWV Frozen Tailgate Hinges

    I'd skip the whole Acid part of any kind and just replace the hinges. Seems faster and cheaper in the end. I do love the Chemistry lessons however.

    New member and owner with questions to get 1043A2 started

    So it's your first diesel? When it does fire and run to you it's going to sound like it's about to fall apart. Or it's out of oil. Standard for these things. When you experience the cooling fan coming on around 210-220 degrees for the first time you will think WTF is that ? Also a standard...

    New member and owner with questions to get 1043A2 started

    From the picture your missing the fuel level sender / float. I'm guessing the newer style was in your truck. If it were me I'd drop the tank and inspect it for foreign matter. It has been open to the elements and may have water and other unwanted stuff in it. The only parts and repair...

    Slantback turret gun mount

    That's not a good picture of the mount. (great picture of the ammo can mounting bracket) It looks to be a MK-23 cradle. It has the correct large vehicle pintle. You will need to also find the correct riser. Sometimes referred to as a UPA ( Universal Pintle Adapter ) They probably were used with...

    94 hmmwv

    Go test drive one. Only then will you be able to answer your own questions. In past threads you said you wanted something different. It fits that requirement. But so does the civilian version. We have all asked you in past threads if you plan on doing your own work on it or paying someone to do...

    1993 6.5l H1 question

    Not without seeing some detailed pictures of it. Are you planning on restoring it like you did the M35? did the guy spray bed liner / rhino liner inside it ? you need to crawl around under it. Check all the fluids, check the frame rails for rust. I'd make sure you can get it registered for the...

    94 hmmwv

    look at the shifter. does it have a park position and an over drive position. probably a 4l80. if no park position or over drive probably still the original 3l80. Like others have said. Do some homework first. Read the TM first. Find somebody who has one to go look at it with you. Take some...

    Adding x-doors to M1043A2

    Normal X doors and vinyl doors use the same hinge. even the first gen skinned X door used the same (2) single pin hinge top and bottom. different door strike. I'd just source the correct set of piano style hinged doors that are correct for the truck. You can take off the piano hinge and install...

    Adding x-doors to M1043A2

    So you want to change to less armored doors? Most people want to change from X doors to what you have. What you going to do with the up-armored doors? I now that doesn't really answer your question . BH

    Scrap versus Resale

    First time I did it on line. Found the store # closest to me and the store # closest to the guy that's buying it. Others here just probably go to store and let manager handle it. I know it has to be palletized.

    2018 SoCal Fall Rally

    I got to go take care of a customers gate problem first thing. Then was going to start packing myself . Maybe a last minute drone flight to make sure it's ready for our trip next week if needed. It is nice to see the guys still having fun without us no matter the speed of the Nova.

    2018 SoCal Fall Rally

    I saw that too Will. Even though the green color is kind of funky. I figured it's the utters on some sort of COWABUNGA. Maybe they got some kind of keg attached to it. We definitely have to go back and revisit .

    HMMWV Battery replacements

    Thanks for the post. I like the fact that the original style hold down still works. Are you still using the original lower tray? What's the difference in pricing if you don't mind me asking?
