    Registering a late model HMMWV in MA

    Due to this recommendation, I went to Taunton on 1/23/24 with all of my paperwork form previous owner. And, PO never received a title from his state due to rules there. He bought it from GP in 22, registered it. I had the 97 made out to him, previous registration, bill of sale. The folks in...

    Tach wiring connection/connector

    Wasn't sure where to post this, so I will start here. Is there anyone that knows what this connector on the back of a tach is called or where I can get one? And than I need to scour the schematics/TM to find the pin out. Thanks for the help! (just realized the pin out is on back of the unit)

    Humvee won’t pull large tree but f350 does

    Why are you not putting it back to stock with the mechanical pump and use the filters as they were designed and put on 300K trucks? Dont' try to reinvent the wheel. Many millions of dollars were spent on the design of these rigs and they work perfectly that way. You need to do more diagnostics...

    Help Identifying Engine Label

    197679, 1097A2. So you are right on with engine identification. I am hoping someone familiar with the military nomenclature would be able to tell whether the engine was rebuilt or new replacement. Just my curiosity. There are no other stickers on the left hand valve cover where I have seen them...

    I am confident it is a 6.5. Too far into the run of 1097's not to be.

    Help Identifying Engine Label

    M Mog, it runs really well! This is the one that I decided on as opposed to that rust bucket I posted a week or so ago. Very happy with the choice and decision to go this direction, with your help. I started it yesterday in 15degree weather and it fired right up, no smoke at all even after...

    Help Identifying Engine Label

    Just picked my new toy up yesterday. Was hoping for a GMP (?) motor, but saw this instead. Any help deciphering it? I see a date of 11/20. Did they replace the motor? It doesn't smoke, started this morning in 15 degrees no problem. Thanks!!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I would th I would think that is a great upgrade. From what I have seen the stock one comes on at 220F(ish). Would rather not go that high. Will order one of these. Please let us know how yours is working. This goes in the crossover pipe??

    6.2 Hot Head Solution??

    Just watched this video In all my reading so far I have not heard of a "solution" for the overheating rear cylinders. Has any one else done this and results? And does the problem apply to the 6.5? Inquiring minds want to know....

    M1035 Help With Parts Identification

    They really want to sell it and just need to accept that it needs a ton of work. I was considering offering them a lot less and have it as a spare parts rig or parting it out, but I don't need another project. It did start right up, most of the lights did work, the transmission did move it back...

    M1035 Help With Parts Identification

    That is very encouraging and I will keep an eye on the auctions. I have switched horses and found a very clean, low mile, 2001 not far from me that I have committed to. If it wasn't for this site and input on my post from everyone, I would have made a bad investment and been upset with myself...

    Mogman, great advice and I really appreciate it. Here are the facts, would appreciate your opinion and I do value it since you are the Mod here and have much more experience than I. I live on Cape Cod, as does the truck. The truck has supposedly been owned by the seller since 95. Said he just...
