    ISO: factory HEMTT video

    If you search for M977 on Youtube or HEMTT you'll find a number of videos. A few of them are mine and you are welcome to use any of mine. If you need the raw videos let me know and I should be able to get them to you.

    HMMWV Power Steering Cooler Fitting

    Perfect, I compared it to another shot with my finger in the picture, and I'm fairly sure it's 1/4" NPT. Found a right angle version for $4.50 with free shipping on Amazon, we'll see if it fits. The hoses themselves are in good shape from what I've seen. I would agree, but instead of using a...

    HMMWV Power Steering Cooler Fitting

    Well there's one fitting on my HMMWV that isn't right. I got the truck hot enough farting around the farm to blow this off. Basically what they've done he is pressed a rubber hose onto a 37 degree hydraulic fitting, clearly not the right thing. What size fitting is suppose to be here, and does...

    M998 HMMWV Off Road Uses

    Nothing specific, I need to get one of those dividers though that goes between the front and back. It's setup as a 4-man with the back cover. I put all the small stuff in the footwells in the back, and then tied the big stuff down.

    M998 HMMWV Off Road Uses

    We use ours for farm us in Virginia. We have 165 acres of hills basically, and it's a great substitute for a side by side or a four wheeler, and probably a bit safer. It sure can move more material around, which was why we bought it. We are clearing 30-50 acres of underbrush, and it hauls all...

    What type of differentials do I have

    It's not specific to the HMMWV, but basically any Torsen differential. When you have spinning wheels there's very little applied torque, and the differential basically sees it as driving as usual. When the brake is applied, it transfers some torque to the other side locking the differential up.

    My new load bank is a 5kw heater

    The LED's are likely flickering due to some harmonic distortion from the motors.

    Major Power Outage Mep-002 Getting Workout

    I don't think that was their intended purpose ;-)

    glow plug twisted

    This happened to me too. Basically the base of the glow plug at the block starts to rust, a little bit of torque, and the outer housing fails, the top will spin, but she isn't coming out. In the end I didn't bother removing it, she fires off instantly with just the seven!

    Humvee latest auction prices ?

    They've come up quite a bit. I bought mine, running early this year for $5500 out of Texas.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    I'm using group 31s as well.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    Same here, 55MPH on the HEMTT with the 4-speed 740 Allison seems to be the sweet spot for the engine RPM and the drive train.

    M813 repower

    It would be a nice repower. I would love to do one and keep the manual transmission though.

    M1070e1

    Sorry I was so confused! I was thinking this was a 5-ton, not the big HET

    Wow, could you cram a 8v92 into the bay?

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    Just let me know, PM or something and we can connect. You'll need a break controller and one of the 7 pin plugs on your truck to run the brakes etc. Excellent point on the width. I actually drove over the fenders on mine, and used cribbing in the center of the deck to get it up and over. I...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    I think you are a bit close towing it yourself. I towed my 998 soft top with a 12k rated trailer, and it did just fine, as one would expect. I would imagine the tongue weight to get a stable setup behind your truck might be difficult to achieve. Do you have a brake controller? It sounds like you...

    I had no idea about the songs origins, thanks for sharing!

    Can I tow a M989a1 with a civi pick up?

    That's how mine was moved. If I had waited for a closer one I would have taken the HEMTT to move it.

    What have you done to your HEMTT/PLS/MK48 this week

    We thought about that, just couldn't get anything that looked good and not to cheesy, just left it as is. These newer 3DR style UAV's with a 4k capable camera attached to them can make some amazing videos. More goofiness to come!
