    Found a broken bolt under the HMMWV please help me ID where it cam from

    I bought them at the GM dealer. They don't sell them in pairs. I think I had to buy 5. You got lucky! I broke multiple drill bits on mine. It took forever and was one f the more frustrating things I've ever done.

    LMTV Frame twist

    It's not that heavy. Silverstate55 and I loaded one from his trailer to mine, *by hand*. My tractor is rated 1250lbs. It lifts an end, almost and sort of. I'm guessing maybe 3000lbs if that.

    Bed Cover...

    "Bed cover" looks suspiciously like an S250 shelter. Edit - the shelter carrier variant has suspension differences. I'm not sure about mounting to an M998, but someone more knowledgeable than me will be along shortly and enlighten us both...

    Need Help with Batteries

    While standing on the step facing into the cab with the battery box open, the lower left battery is the place to start. Test all 4 of your batteries. If you've got 1 or 2 bad ones, drop down to a 2 battery system....

    Humvee Tow Fight Vs Dodge Ram

    Shameful, a 1 1/4ton vehicle against a civvy half ton.... I don't think I'd brag even if I won. How about a Ram 4500 tow pig as a more reasonable match? (Edit in case in isn't obvious that I am kidding)

    M936A1 from auction

    I went and looked at the auction details. The bad - 1) XLs on the steer axle. (Minor) 2) more rust than ie like to see. ( duh, it's in the tropics) 3) It is not seen to run. Anything not seen to run is presumed incapable of running. Batteries are missing, and fluids drained. That may be the...

    M936A1 from auction

    Have them send the title to wherever you are. It'll be the same piece of paper either way. Without knowing more, I'd think you and the title and the truck should all be in HI. To thebest of my knowledge, California would want to put eyes on the truck before giving you a title or plates. I...

    Humvee Tow Fight Vs Dodge Ram

    Whose hitch is mounted higher? That's another decisive advantage... Edit - mostly sounds like a way to break things.

    Armored m998

    In theory no. All armor is supposed to be shredded. In practice, all kinds of stuff slips out. Not stolen, nothing illegal to posses, just stuff that was sold with the wrong demil code. No, I don't have any....

    Rebuild Deuce

    Gimp is far more knowledgeable than me... But what's missing here is a sense of priorities. The motor runs. It got warmed up. It got oil all through it. The fuel system got diesel all through it. It isn't going to rust or deteriorate. Detailed diagnosis and resolution of those issues can go on...

    Rebuild Deuce

    Priority one is to prevent further damage and deterioration secondary to salt water submersion. This is what I'd do - 1) change all fluids 2) this especially means the differentials 3) service the hubs 4) grease everything greasable 5) spray WD40 pretty much everywhere. Ideally you...

    M923A1 won't drive or rev up till engine is warm

    I don't think it's a warm thing. I think your fuel system is sucking air. Allowing it to run for so long eventually purges the air. My best guess

    Talk to me about getting an M1078...

    Sounds more like an air pack failure than an air leak. Unfortunately I have some recent experience in this area...

    battery cable size on a 925a1

    It's 1/0, with thick insulation making it look like 2/0.
