What are your opinions on flat towing a Humvee?
I have a 40,000 lb military tow bar.
The trip would be a thousand miles.
I would probably bring two Humvee tires with me just in case I ran into problems
I am wondering if I would need to remove the drive shafts?
I have seen the Marines...
As promised.
My trailer is not exactly a U-Haul trailer but it's made by the same company and it's pretty much the same dimensions. I own it and it is not a rental.
Towed 3 vehicles this morning with it and loaded the 2 door softtop Humvee just to see how it would perform
The humvee towed...

In an effort to make sure that all of the information is in one place for future searches I have included this link above to a similar post. If I decide to use my uhaul style type trailer I will report back regardless...
I appreciate the information and for you taking the time to respond so quickly.
I appreciate all the information that everyone provided and the concerns that were voiced will also be considered.
Have a great evening.
Thanks
No replies from a single person that provided first hand experience relating to my question. I used the search feature and ask someone directly that has posted about there experience. Isn't that encouraged.
Thanks
Did you experience a lot of sway while hauling with the uhaul trailer? I am concerned that I won't be able to travel at highway speeds without sway. Was yours a 2 door or 4 door with a soft top of hard top?
Mine is a M1097A2 2 door pickup with an empty bed. I own a trailer that is similar to...
I fully understand that the F350 is the better option from the towing aspect only, I understand that better options exist, and I am just trying to get feedback from those with first hand experience using a uhaul, budget, or Penske type trailer.
I appreciate the replies. But it seems that no one...
I have a similar trailer to the type used for auto transport by Penske and u Haul.
I need to load and transport a Hmmwv roughly 1000 miles.
Hauling it home with this trailer will allow me to take the more comfortable vehicle on my trip. (Sprinter RV)
I am concerned with sway and having to slow...
I really appreciate all the effort did you have to modify your wiring harness? My connector looks completely different.
Can you tell me what website had the $17 eProm
Thanks
Are you saying that you were able to replace the TCM 2100 with this unit you are referring to and do you have a part number? Is this something I can go to the junkyard and grab from a GM vehicle.
I appreciate the fast response.
If somebody can point me to a refurbished one for $200 that would be great.
I have a failed tcm-2100.
@twisted60 How did testing for spares work out?
I trying to figure out the most economical way ahead to get my truck on the road. Has anyone found a rebuild service that is reasonable. Is...
I noticed that this ground wire is loose, could that cause the TCM code or would that have caused several others codes?
I may tighten it and reinstall to see if the problem remains, unless the loose wire would have caused a bunch of codes or no codes at all.
Thanks
Is there a replacement TCM that makes sense. I was watching a YouTube video and a person stated that the guys at steel soldiers helped him find a TCM replacement on from rock auto. Unfortunately, he didn't list a part number or price but stated that was cheaper than he was able to find one. My...
You posted this part number for the serpentine belt. (PK82490) Did it seem to work for you and does your truck have the blank pulley were the AC would be installed?
Does anyone else have any recommendations on a serpentine belt?
Thanks
I have taken apart the original TCM. The seal on the case was pretty strong.
It is completely dry.
I test continuity between the two purple plugs and the J1 and the other 6 pin external TCM connector.
I get continuity across all connections.
