    1999 M1097 4 speed 6.5L seized motor

    I dug mine out and depending on which cylinder it is it back be a bear to get in there. I used a cotton ball I stuffed into the injector hole then pushed it under the broken tip. When I tapped the tip in from the outside the cotton captured it. I then used a custom bent long needle nose pliers...

    Very creative to say the least. Well done Sir. The woke hates everthing that doesn't follow their narrative or offends them in some bizarre way. Keep us updated. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Dispute the charge on your credit card. Some companies are nothing but thieves. Mark

    M1097A2 Driveshaft

    If you are using the old shaft make sure you mark the drive shaft to pinion so it goes back on with the same orientation. If the drive shaft is out of phase (180 degrees) it can cause a vibration. Have seen this problem with a Nissan frontier truck just a month ago. Mark

    NHC250 metal in oil

    Very interested in the outcome as I am at a loss where those pieces came from. I would just be giving wild guesses. Mark

    Was there a final correct answer on the LM/FMTVs being EMP proof ????

    My X-wife's super power was the ability to find fault in me. Kind of a suck super power if you ask me. Mark

    But but won't it also give us super powers?

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Old? The Humvees are not old. They are just mature that's all lol. I drove many cars with powerglide 2 speeds back in the day and we got around just fine. Mark

    all black with Behr paint

    Only issue with all black is you have zero contrast with black on black on black. Makes the truck look less finished IMHO but still nice. Keep up updated. Mark

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    If you have four batteries and believe one is pulling a tiny load I would electrically disconnect all the batteries and let them sit for a day or two and more than likely the one with noticeably less voltage is your heat sink problem battery. Mark

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Did they ever put the contract number (six digit serial number) anywhere on the frame? Seems crazy to just have it on a removable data plate. Mark

    Great pics thank you, If you get a chance sometime please take a pic of a side view as this will help seeing just where the load is an on trailer. I was hoping an 18 ft with drive over fenders would work it balancing the load may be difficult. Mark

    M1078 remove 2 batteries

    I second the solargizer unit as I've had mine for five years and have zero issues with batteries. If you use a cutoff switch get a good one. Mark

    Could you kindly take some pics of the HMMWV loaded on the trailer? I'm in the market for a trailer myself and looking for ideas. Thanks, Mark

    Sounds like it's going to be a great show and I sure would enjoy it but it's a tad far from me. The bike I always wanted was an old Harley XA but they go for a small fortune. Please post lots of pics. Mark

    HMMWV with RV windows in the doors

    Love the idea of the convertible doors to half doors. I brought up this suggestion to Midwest a few years ago when I purchased my half doors. Makes perfect sense. Looks like it's going to be a sweet setup. Mark
