    Gear Options????

    Charles Talbert / M-Series Rebuild has gear sets... Plan on budgeting enough money to swap all bearings & seals at the same time - might as well rebuild the entire front/rear axle assemblies while you're in there. Do you have the setup fixtures for setting R&P gear lash? 'Tanner'

    Federal sticker

    You're still confused. The VIN has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) data plate or decal. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. The VIN DOES NOT answer the issue of the Federal Safety regs being met. Ever. Never has. Never will. THAT is the point - and no one in...

    Federal sticker

    Ask the DMV how/why they think it's a military truck... and they'll probably tell you that the red-flag is the 'D' in the fifth position of the VIN... then you can proceed to argue with them about the vehicle being "a civilian K30 Series truck painted camo"... See how far THAT goes... the...

    Read - and learn. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/76754-cucv-vin-number-plate.html Post #10 - regarding data plates installed by GM on the truck door. The VIN stamped on the door data plate, the VIN on the metal tag on left dash top at windshield, and any 17-digit VIN stamped into frame...

    Federal sticker

    Frame VIN should match one on dash plate - how would this be different? Your VIN should have been a 17-digit letter/number combo with the 5 character position being a 'D'... denoting military 4x4 - IF your frame number is different from the rivited dash plate or door jamb plate, you might have...

    Federal sticker

    That would be an incorrect presumption... you have to get to the bottom of WHY the States are cracking down on civilian MV ownership. Going through another state, or doing some end-run around the issue only makes things worse. Ever consider listing the similarities/differences between the...

    Recall as well that the states can do as they wish when it comes to titling vehicles... the Federal Regs are merely guidelines. Good luck! 'Tanner'

    proper rim width for hummer tires?

    Let's try a refresher course on how to measure rim width... measurement is between the inner bead seating areas on rim. http://members.rennlist.com/951_racerx/WheelsFAQ-diagram.gif 'Tanner'

    Manual valve body?

    How long do you plan on keeping the truck? Keep the transmission stock, with all the required bits in it so that it operates as it was designed to do. If the plan is to keep it for a long time, as in 10 years plus, then get in touch with Jasper Engines & Transmissions & get a reman TH400 - 3...

    ...there is some frame flex; non-flexible frames crack. Someone posted on another forum that this was 'clone HMMWV based' - haven't seen any proof of this yet - 'Tanner'
