If you aren’t in a big hurry to get it done I would recommend doing it yourself. It may seem like a daunting task but tearing the heads off a 6.2 is simple. The main reason it costs so much is time spent. Someone with no experience should be able to tear down and go back together in less than a...

Hi I was just curious what everyone is paying for insurance on their Humvees? I have a ‘93 M1038 and State Farm originally was charging $33 a month (close to $400 a year) then for no reason and without notice jumped me up to $81 a month. I called and asked why and they couldn’t give me much of...

Nebraska is simple to license a humvee. I have heard Oklahoma is also easy.

I stand corrected. I was guessing GM owned them based on the sticker that say MFG by AMGeneral for General Motors. My bad. Never been around an H3 but now I kinda want to go try one. I have always heard bad reviews of them. Still pretty impressed with what my H2 can do.

H2 isn’t built on a suburban drive train. It’s a combo of 3/4 pickup rear suspension and a beefed up version of the Tohoe front end with a frame just for the H2. I used to think the H2 was stupid suburban house wife vehicle until I got to drive one off road. After taking it 95% of the place my...

To keep stock speedometer operation you will have to change your T case over to mechanical setup. A tranny shop should be able to get you the right parts and gear to make it all work right. 241’s were not built for the Humvee. They came in LOTS of vehicles and are available in both drivers and...

Has anyone tried Al’s HNR? I am looking at doing a liquid sound deadening and am trying to decide between Lizard Skin and Al’s Heat and Noise Reducer. Any pics of the finished product would be great. Can you do a top coat of paint or liner on top of the DB stuff?

Caliper and caliper bracket need to come off. It might be stuck so a hammer might be necessary. Rubber dead blow hammer if you plan to reuse the rotor and regular hammer if you don’t.

https://www.transgo.org/demo/06-178%204L80E-85E%20and%20TH400%20%20Reverse%20Complaints.pdf see if this helps. Can you get all 4 corners off the ground and see if it will spin the tires in reverse without the weight of the vehicle? While off the ground and not running spin the tires and see if...

No Humvee has leaf springs military or civi. Simply saying the issue you are describing “crabbing” is hard to achieve without major malfunction in a full time 4wd/ four wheel independent suspension. Crabbing or dog tracking is when the back end and front end are tracking different and the...

Sounds more like a tranny issue than transfer case. What do you mean by crabbing? I have had leaf springs break and make vehicles crab walk, I have had broken frames cause crab walk but I have never seen a full time four wheel drive vehicle crab walk....especially while turning. Are you in high...

Are the gas tanks different from 1993 and earlier than the ones from 94 and later? I have heard M998A0 is different tank than M998A1.

Well I guess it’s time to tear apart the hub on my Humvee and do it right. When I installed new seals I just took it apart, put seals in, and put it back together. Didn’t think anything about multiple gaskets to space it out. Glad someone brought this up before I ****ed up my hub.

The bed on my Humvee is torn also. I have been looking for patch panels or replacement floor but can’t find anything.

If the starter tests good it could be bad ground somewhere. That would cause the drag and slow/uneven cranking. 99% of the Scouts I get running won’t crank at all or crank REALLY slow and hard. I clean the negative battery cable on both ends and they crank like I put a new starter in. Sometimes...

Can you drill the top of the holes on your spacer slightly larger to accommodate the smallest socket you can find? I have found that my SnapOn socket won’t fit the rims on my Scout II but the cheap set of sockets we keep in the ranch pickup does fit. They look identical but it’s just enough...

If you pull the glow plugs and crank it you are not accomplishing the same thing. It takes way longer to push all the air through the injector than it does to crack a fuel line. If you pull the plugs and crank it you can’t actually see the fuel to see that you have a steady stream of fuel and...

I got new glass for my humvee windshield for $90 per side including shipping. It think it was $55 for the glass (not ballistic). You might be able to get the haze off your existing glass with polishing compound or headlight restore stuff and some elbow grease. Avoid any glass cleaner with...

If it blew your dipstick out your engine is most likely shot and your compression from at least one cylinder is going into the crankcase, pressurizing the the crank case and the dipsticks is the easiest break away point to release the pressure. Any signs of metal in the oil after the bang in the...

Was the tranny fluid dark or did it smelled burned? I would start with dropping the pan and changing the filter. While it’s open make sure the valve body is clean and everything is tight and where it should be. You might get lucky and be able to fix the problem with a filter and fluid and save a...
