Dang it Bob and Dave, now my secret hmmwv supply is out. Back to CL and Ebay! They buzzed my house in a pattern most of yesterday till just before midnight. Each chopper landed one in my field, left the hmmwv. Taped to the window was a SF97 form filled out in my name! lol
Anyway, training is...
Economist,
Rear cross member uses the same pivot bracket for both setups. The only differences are the L Shaped brackets are relocated and new brackets need to be added between the rack and latches. I have pictures but not with me. On the g503, there is a picture I post a while back of the...
diverman555,
I sent you a pm yesterday...
Personally I would not sit in any hmmwv and have someone get an itchy trigger finger, think aluminum. I do have a couple of M1045 Slant Backs with supplemental armor installed and 5/8" glass.
PM me if you want to setup a time.
Thanks.
PS: I drove a...
Thanks Steel Soldiers website for the helpful classifieds! I just sold my last deuce (M185A3) and about 2 months ago, I sold the other M35A2C! No other site provided me the hits on my ad than SS!
PS. I donated $50 to site. :-)

Make sure your filter bowl is full of fuel. An easy way to remove the air in the supply system is to put a suction device on the outlet of the filter and pull a vacuum until you have a constant supply of fuel. I use a siphone tube for this. Other problematic areas: the check valve in...
I have delt with several shipping companys when trying to move my M185A3 and have found the following: Shipping a deuce van truck can be expensive because of the overall height and it requires a lowboy type trailer ($$$$). A drop deck type trailer sits too high unless you remove the tires/rims...
Chris,
I do not really have pictures but the manual has good figures. Plus it is difficult to expain. See below.
For the DWF kit, here is the complete installation instructions for it with drawing (thanks to the hummerknowledgebase)! Deep Water Fording Kit - Installation
BTW: everyone...
Chris,
That is the standard engine ground and needs to be there. The MWO grounding harness is addtional and allows all electrical components to be on the same ground plane.
Pictures of a 6.2 I just installed...
Nice! I'll pull a fan clutch tonight. While the stack is out, its a good time to service the front brakes, brake lines and vent lines (if needed). Another item to consider replacing is the front crank oil seal. I am doing that now on a fairly new engine that has been sitting (easier to get...
Awesome work Chris! That's how I like to go! Fyi the torque converter slips out with the engine if you pull the engine forward while lifting. Anyhow, I have a few fan clutches. On the motor mounts, did you loosen the 3/4" nuts so the brackets could move? This makes bolting to the block easier.
