    Mixing hemtt and combat rims on m51?

    On 939series trucks yes. On 809series trucks (and presumably the older multifuels) i think so, but I'm not sure. I didn't mentioned it because he didn't mention tire size. Usually, the only reason you see hemtt rims mixed with combat wheel is to clear 16.00's on the front. My preference is...

    All 6 on both of these trucks are hemtt rims ..

    Engine shutoff cable question Cummins 8.3

    It is correct as is. No action required. Truck is not running in the pic, and the master power is off, thus the fuel is in the shut off position by means of the solenoid. The cable in contrast, is in the run position. Pull the shut off and then have a look at where the cable is. Conceivably...

    Michelin XL tires

    Your speedometer will be off by something like 24%. If you do end up with the truck loaded, you'll probably end up using low range to take off.

    Michelin XL tires

    Presuming the m51 is like the 809series , there's an offset lugnut that allows you to use the existing wheel studs. This is a picture of the offset lugnut and hemtt rim on the back of my M925, but they also work on the front. I have them on the front of my M818 with hemtt rims. Although they...

    Michelin XL tires

    At that price they're tempting. Also, being 16.00s the weight rating is higher which makes failure less probable in your use. What do you have for wheels? On 939series trucks hemtt rims are needed for 16.00s or they rub. I don't know if this is applicable to your M51... The loss of low end...

    @BigRig379 is around there somewhere.

    Michelin XL tires

    14.00's? Unless they're cheap I'd pass. If they're cheap and the truck doesn't spend much time above 40mph I'd consider it. In today's market if I'm buying tires for a 5ton I'm buying 395 XZLs or if I have $ to spend then 16.00 AT3s.

    Default fee = transaction canceled, hmmwv relisted in an upcoming auction and sells to the highest bidder and they keep the default fee on top of that.

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    @Floridianson posted a good writeup specific to an NH250 a while back but I can't find it now. It'll also be relevant to the multifuel...

    How to Jump Start CUCV

    Sounds reasonable. The assumption is that just one battery on the cucv is discharged. It's important to ground to the negative post on the battery, as mentioned above. Let us know how it goes.

    Steel or Aluminum MRAP wheels?

    My preference for a deuce is the aluminum MRAP rim.

    What are you going to jump it from? What equipment do you have available?

    m51a2 Dump weapons mount options?

    I'm not aware of any actually being used. But there's a swing out dash mount that puts an M240 or M249 in a hmmwv. This would probably take little tweaking to put a belt fed into your truck. Or a pedestal in the bed. Neither of these options strike me as particularly desirable in...

    What wheels are these?

    LMTV. They'll bolt right up to 939 and 809series trucks too.

    M817 Low Range Question

    It's fine. The "no low reverse" is specific to 939series trucks, not 809series. I own both. Shift into low, throw it in reverse and have at it. You're fine.

    Buying first humvee

    Talk to someone in FL who has registered a hmmwv recently in FL. Many places have specific exceptions and refuse hmmwvs. I have no personal experience with FL and make no claims this is the case. But it is well worth checking before you've sunk time and $ into a vehicle and find the path blocked...

    Buying first humvee

    There's not a 17 digit VIN. There's a (typically 6 digit) serial number. This gives most DMVs fits. I know people have them registered in FL, but it is almost certainly a far more tedious and aggravating process than you think. Every state that I know of collects sales tax on vehicle transfers...
