    Hmmwv. Not getting fuel (after new pump)

    the "metallic ping" you heard when torquing down the pump, was the fuel pump push rod snapping in half! Replace the rod as stated (coated in grease to help hold it up) and i bet it will solve your problem. You may need a magnet to get the upper portion of the pushrod out of the block.

    Not moving M998

    what transfer case are you running? Most Military Humvee's use the 218 or 242 transfer case which does not have 2wd. Unless you have a replacement transfer case with 2 wheel drive like a 241. I am curious which transfer case you are running. Some pics of your shifter and transfer case will...

    HMMWV Maaco Paint?

    It really doesn't matter what business you go with, it's the guy doing the painting. I would not trust anyone, unless i have seen examples of work quality. CGI paint is very easy to paint with. I would paint it with a roll brush before i got ripped of by MAACO. And i did! (paint my first...

    700R4 Conversion

    One note on the tv cables. Some of the tv cables have a crimped end on the injector side of the cable, some have a barrel with a set screw. Mine had the crimped end. I had to cut of the crimped end off and add a cable barrel with set screw so i could set the tv cable properly. You want all...

    700R4 Conversion

    i would recommend only using the stock bracket and linkage to injection pump (it works perfect)... you can also just round the square corners on the plastic tv cable to fit the round hole!

    Year of Manufacture for HMMWV

    I posted the pic of the numbers on the a pillar from one of my trucks. If you had those numbers but had lost the vin plate, is it possible the military would have record of the vin that was associated with the registration numbers? i am not sure. If so maybe those number have been painted...

    Year of Manufacture for HMMWV

    Does the parking brake have a lock on it that must be depressed to release the brake? Do you have brackets on the front of the A pillar for the early style mirrors? What type of front seats do you have? There are alot of clues to narrow down the year, but nothing that would pin it down to an...
