    What is the deal with door prices?

    Supply and demand. Basic capitalist concepts here. ;)

    M998 driven to fast

    You should get puffs of white smoke which is the unburnt diesel, that is if you have fuel. If it was ran dry you'll have to bleed the injectors. I would charge up your batteries, and not try to jump start it.

    Going to pick up a 1987 HMMWV

    With a Th400 you can pretty much bolt anything from the GMPP catalog to it.

    Going to pick up a 1987 HMMWV

    Least the drive shaft is taken out for you to drop the fuel tank. Doesn't look like it's in the back under all the doors though. I would get it running first before you dump a bunch of money into that engine... As in, invest in bare min of parts to see if the engine is good. Hmmwv's are quite...

    Going to pick up a 1987 HMMWV

    I'm going to say 8 grand to get it running worse case. Best case. Maybe 2k.

    Going to pick up a 1987 HMMWV

    I would worry about getting it running first IMHO. Fuel tank exposed to the elements. Ie. more then likely water contaminated, and rust... Hopefully no one ran it like that, and the filter caught everything.

    Demand for HMMWVs

    Sheriff in Phoenix has a tank out front of his office. Sitting on the transport trailer with the cannon facing the right way.

    Fuel leak

    ^^ I have bought many trucks with leaking IP's that have been leaking for years and 1,000's of miles. However, the chemie term; like dissolves like applies. Will swell rubber parts. Make sure you replace the rubber fuel line that is rated for diesel. They are not all made the same.

    foaming power steering fluid and hard to steer

    I do it that way, works better on my truck compared to the TM procedure. I also jack up the front end, but do not wait as long in between full lock. Just enough time to look in the res to confirm it's not sucking air.

    hmmwv 6.2 7 cylinder

    I think you would be happier with a unimog, over a hmmwv. A lot more practical, but less "tactic-cool".

    "Low Air" What does it mean?

    I am offering sound advice. No ax to grind. I know how they operate locally. May it be ethical, or nought. I have bought from gp, and gl. And have been burned on items by both companies. However, I have also had a few good buys. Knowing what to look for in a very vague description, and low res...

    "Low Air" What does it mean?

    GP loves to fill the tires up with air for pictures. I would bring a cheap patch kit if it's obvious.

    Castrol Transmax Dex/Merc the same as Dexron III?

    Walmart carries dex III for around 2.70$ quart. Most of the stuff that is dex III will say it small print on the back of the bottle.

    hmmwv 6.2 7 cylinder

    See even though it's SOP, that's not common knowledge to civies that have no idea what the **** they are bidding on. Let alone over paying for. I have a feeling this will continue until they open their lots for in person inspections. People need to stop bidding on those trucks until they can do...

    hmmwv 6.2 7 cylinder

    The descriptions lately have been scheisse. Was bidding on a tractor on iron planet, and about half way through the auction they updated the tractor from "won't start" to " Runs but trans won't engage". I called the rep and they told me a whole different range of symptoms... They're getting...
