I use Rotella 15W40 in all my diesels.Dexron III; 80-90 nonsynthetic. Decided on nonsynthetic in M998 due to age, military lube, and storys about leaks after switching to synthetics. However, have always used synthetics in H1 since new. Also used non-Fram, more expensive oil filters...pick...

According to the Rhino web site you should not need extension for M1101/02 trailers. The clearance on my H1 looks fine but no off road use. Again, check with Rhino to be sure, they have to know.

If you can siphon some off it will be less messy. I followed the TM when pulling the tank: TM 9-2320-280-20-2, starting on page 3-36. These are available on this site although I have the old paper ones. The drawings in the TM are quite helpful. This a 2 person task! You need a "soldier B"...

The NSN on the fuel tank access cover kit: 2510-01-454-7077. I have seen these for sale in the past. Will not work on M996 or M997.

Great looking, original HMMWV with some upgrades such as wheels, etc. Quick work!

Thank you, Ted. Figured it out when reinstalling tank. My friend,mechanic insisted on dropping tank. Kind of a PITA, for first time! I was not on this site at the time and did not get expert advice. Lesson learned!

Mine had leaking hose at filler neck and hose clamp was impossible to access! Ended up dropping tank and doing what RWHR said. Tank was pretty clean except had end of an old drain plug in it. Do not tighten these plugs very much! There is an access panel MWO which allows access to top of...

New owners are looking at plenty of projects over a period of months. Probably thousands not hundreds of dollars to get it where you want. I agree you should buy parts in quantity not like I did. One good point: the current buyers are spending much less than those that bought them a few...

Glad to see you are pulling the correct size trailer.

Great looking console/ cup holder. Did you fabricate it?

RAPCO sells a gloss white for stencil markings. I am about to start a similar project.

I did what jcappeljr did. Only had to drill 1/4" hole for stud on switch. If you paint the face of the switch it is difficult for a thief to find.

The torx fasteners are difficult. Try some Kroil and wire brush on the threads. Vise grips have worked for me. I would relace the torx with standard hex head. I installed 3 point HMMWV seat belts in the front. You will need to find or make some "L" brackets for inboard belts. Looking...

Welcome from San Antonio

I used the one sold by "Those Military Guys" They are vendors on his site. I installed it back of battery box as there was a hole already there. Easy to install; it cuts off ground so handy when you are doing anything electrical. Disadvantage is that it is in passenger footwell. Cost was...

Go get em! Keep us posted.

Nice job. I believe there is an Army MWO that does the same thing. It is made out of light chain and a loop that goes around the parking brake handle.

Hole in pin is about .191 A 3/16x 1.5" seems to fit. CUCVRUS is the expert on this "field expedient" You can buy a selection at Fastenal here in the states. Always cheaper to buy a quantity. Only problem I see is they are hardened and a blow with a cold chisel will break them.

Roll pins are a great idea! I will do that next time.

Good discussion with pictures on G503
