    Help! I'm burning up coils in my M43!!

    Oh my goodness. So much information and not all correct. The coils with the resistors were manufactured that way for 24V distributors before a true 24V coil was developed. Most of them are long gone that why your rarely see them these days. The vent lines are to remove ionized air from the...

    m998a1 mpg

    For a point of reference...My 96 H1 with 7.4L gas gets a dependable 6 city and 8 highway. But I didn't buy it for milage. I'll get all my money back anyway :D I'm pretty happy with the prices H1s are bringing.

    Source for up armored armor?

    Do you know if the NSN are marked on the pieces themselves? I have access to armored Marine HMWVVS of different designs. I could check on them for NSNs if you think they are marked, and those marks haven't been painted over... :-(

    Source for up armored armor?

    I talked to the curator at the local military museum: All that armor is on the Military Munitions List and is accountable. He indicated that is why it is strictly de-milled and generally sold as scrap. "having it could be an issue". Who knows? I think that copying it in aluminum might be a...

    M931A1 Gun Truck tribute, perhaps.

    Well I have located one of the armored boxes, can not for the life of me think of their name. Negotiations have been started, but I think it will be a long row to hoe... Poking around for one of the cab armor that drops over the existing cab.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got around to doing a compression test on the M1025 I recently acquired. No bueno, 300, 300, 160, 40, 0, 0, 140, 160. Oh well, time to repower.

    M925A1 "Brake Chamber" issue?

    That truck being an A0, look right inside the drivers door for a MWO tag numbered MWO 9-2320-272-35-1, or for a indicator light on the far left of the instrument panel that is labelled "ABS". If those are not there (but it is likely they are), know that the truck has safety issues. That isn't my...

    YIKES! I am sure glad I got mine all swapped out last weekend BEFORE I found this thread and saw THAT picture.

    M931A1 Gun Truck tribute, perhaps.

    I haven't measure the rail width on a deuce bed, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same width as five ton rails. That being said one needs to shorten the bed down to ten foot to put it on a tractor if you want to keep the spare storage area for super single behind the cab. It could be...

    M-gator injector failure question

    Contact JD. I recall seeing a 1 gallon offering of their proprietary color paint somewhere in the online catalog. BTW the spray stuff is a dead ringer for the factory color, applied correctly over a properly prepared surface the finish is indistinguishable from the original paint.

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    Another difference. H1s have two dog houses over the engine access in the cabin, both are well insulated.

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    Inherently quieter. I have had an H1 with the 6.5L and it was quieter by far, due to more insulation and the engine being buried under more accessories and emissions gear (I would guess). I still have an H1 with a transplanted 502 gas motor and transmission in it, and that is QUIET! Easy to...

    Registering GovPlanet Humvee in California

    California is no longer registering MVs off of form 97s. I know of two guys that have had their plates recalled very recently, like this year. OHV rating only. Im trying to find the official notification of this.

    Has anybody found an adaptor for an aftermarket steering wheel?

    My 96 H1 has a HMMWV steering wheel with a cover over the center. Horn is on the end of the turn signal stalk. Its a small wheel.
