    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Maybe let it sit with some penetrating oil overnight. It’s sure close. Probably just age. Good luck! Bulldogger

    Tight Turn Steering Stutter

    No worries friend. We've all done it. It's easy to overshoot H to HL when shifting and some TC Lock lights don't go on/off reliably (like mine). BDGR

    "Wait" Light not illuminating

    Am up in Alexandria, not terribly near I know. There are paths around using the STE/ICE tester, you don't have to have it for many fixes. It is my understanding that is a Comms Port, yes. There must be 24V there somewhere, and a long careful read of the electrical diagram will find it. I...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Your summary is how I have come to understand the current status (current, since laws can be changed). I use antique plates myself but am considering regular tags in case those give me any extra leeway later. I don't use my truck but once a week to keep the fluids moving or for actual haulage...

    Humvee pitman arm removal tool

    Any larger pitman arm puller should be fine. I used a kit purchased off Amazon, "PMD Front End Service" will pull it up. It's gone up in price, but is a good visual reference. You can get a large pitman puller at most auto parts stores too. I used the large C shaped puller and a little J...

    HMMWV Mirror Alternative Options?

    Thanks for the ideas Gents. The Double Nickel lead got me to eBay where I found some good listings for both those products and from ROSCO. I'm sifting through them now. Double mirrors are expensive, but good sized 6.5"x10" flat mirrors seems to be readily had for a good price. I'll post the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wouldn't paint them all with the same brush. The CREE part is just the LEDs, which anyone can buy and incorporate into a product. The maker of the overall assembly is the one not holding their end up. CREE LED's are good product and made in the USA! BDGR

    HMMWV Mirror Alternative Options?

    Great question Dock Rocker. Thanks for asking. No, I do not. I should have mentioned my setup, my mistake. I have a 1987 M998 with soft top and soft doors. I had the standard military mirrors with standard two bracket setup bolted to the A pillars. It would seem the best bet is some kind...

    HMMWV Mirror Alternative Options?

    Having rubbed my passenger side mirror off on a tree at the Graves Mountain rally earlier this month I am looking for replacements. I don't care for the military options, especially in that the captured nut in the HMMWV mirror will eventually rust and I won't be able to adjust the mirrors as...

    m998 hmmwv hissing noise

    It’s a solenoid operated valve not a vacuum pump. One moving part inside. It gets pressure and fluid from the steering pump. I figure the reason why it hisses for some of us and not others is down to individual vehicle characteristics of fluid type, amount of use, age of components and so on...

    m998 hmmwv hissing noise

    It's the valve doing it's job. Sometimes the mount gets jiggered and the movement of the hydraulic fluid through the valve resonates on the mounting and body. Strictly speaking it's physics, not something to be "fixed'. Proper mounting and damping helps. If your valve is very noisy, even...

    We'll be interested to hear how it goes WireFox as it will educate us on options for transmission replacement from more commonly available items. Best of luck! Bulldogger

    1960's M101 Wheel Bearing ?s

    Thanks Valence! Good gouge there. Much appreciated. I will definitely pull the hubs all the way apart this Fall, and replace all seals and gaskets as a matter of precaution. She shouldn't need anything after that for a long time. Very solid trailer. I am still tickled at the quality and...
