    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    I watched a video on 6.5 knock and I would have bet my life on it was done! Turned out to be a bad injector. I would do anything that I could to diagnose it right

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Today I drained most of my fuel tank. Probably 15 gallons and I got maybe 12 out before I put the plug in. Fuel looked clean coming out. I will be installing a new injection pump and I want to start with new fuel and filters. That plug in the tank is weird and I thought it was melted because it...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I changed my oil and filter on my non runner M1165 while I’m waiting for my new injection pump. I put new o-rings and crush washer on the oil filter adapter because I think I had a leak. I put some dye in the oil to help me trace other leaks if I have them. I think the dye will make it easy to...

    Humvee USMC Markings

    I have2 USMC trucks and 1 has the numbers painted on and the other has stickers. Im pretty sure that the stickers came on it from when it was new. My other truck was reset in 2014 and I believe that’s when they painted them on

    36 inches or 37

    I really like them. I had the tsl on my crew cab ford and they rode good and lasted. I really want them for my m1165 but I would have to go 42”. If I was going to a 38” I would just get the Baja ta military tires because they are 1/2 price and I don’t think you can tell the difference between 37...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yesterday I flush my radiator for the second time and I took the standpipe out and cleaned and painted it. Blew out the block and radiator after flushing with hose water. I left it open overnight and today I put everything back together today with the new hoses, the big hoses I didn’t change the...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    I didn’t want the water fording when I replaced mine on my M1123. I ended up changing my mind and realized that I might want to make it functional later on but I can’t use my CDR valve. I ordered the water fording valve for my M1165.

    Rifle Mount

    My 10.5 and 11.5 barrels won’t reach the upper mount. On top of the mat is what I was thinking! I will do the same thing when I get my new mats and when my truck runs. Hahahaha non runners you gotta love them I don’t think you got yours low enough it doesn’t seem to be in that brake line. You...

    HHMWV Fuel tank leak

    I would drop the tank before I cut anything. I have the access panel and there isn’t much room between wires and hard lines. I found this access panel and it looks like it has everything you need. https://www.macmotors.com/Product/HUM/57K3529

    Rifle Mount

    I would probably take the mat out and locate it and drill the holes. I would put the mat back in and bolt bracket on top of it. I think you would get a cleaner cut. I would also cut the foam out but not the outer part. You can cut corner to corner like X and you will have material you could wrap...

    Rifle Mount

    I believe that front edge goes in that brake line

    Rifle Mount

    I don’t know if this helps much. I have never had rifle in it but I would think magazine would go towards firewall.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I just ordered a new injection pump for my M1165 non runner… It was on sale at HPG for 1550.00. Mac Motors was 2,160 and AM General was 2,400. HPG says it’s new but it will not be in stock until the 20th of July. It will take me that long to get everything off and cleaned up. I really don’t want...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I put some radiator flush stuff in about a week ago. Today I removed the overflow tank and cleaned it out. I pulled the thermostat out and upper and lower hoses and I flushed the block and the radiator from the top. It looked pretty good inside. I looked at it from the lower hose and it had a...

    I would take a guess and say tent stake?

    What's this Intake piece is?

    Use a plastic or wooden wedge or something that won’t hurt the surface

    What's this Intake piece is?

    I had a leak on my pan and I replaced the gasket twice and it still had a little fluid running down the surface of the pan. Thought maybe my pan was warped and I got one of the aluminum pans with o-ring. I still had a leak. Turns out that I had a front seal leaking just enough to follow the edge...
