So an update from my end. I never did post the thread at growlerforum. That's because I test drove the M1161 and although it was fun I didn't see it being a suitable off road vehicle for mountain usage. In addition, given the weight, it would be impossible to tow out of the backcountry. I...

Still dealing with my defective heater core in the M1165A1. I rigged up a bypass hose today between the supply and drain lines and capped the heater core side hoses. Drove 20 miles or so and engine temp stayed rock steady in the low green and no fluid leaking anywhere. Looks like I'm back...

During my brief career as a high school graffiti artist I learmed that rubber gloves are needed when using spraypaint to avoid telltale finger discoloration. ;)

I think it says "DTF", as in down to F you with repair bills. ;)

I have been quite upset thinking about all the spare parts those Talis now have.

One seems to have about fallen into my lap, an M1161 for sale locally. It seems to be in OK shape, I have to verify the year and give it of course a thorough inspection. The seller is asking a lot, comparatively, as he wants to make back his auction cost and something on top of that. Is it a...

Technically not a "recall", but yes, it's a recall: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/goodyear-mt-r-tires-safety-message.178785/#

All HMMWV tires should be replaced on purchase, given the recall on the MTRs discussed in other threads. That's not surprising. The other issues? Par for the course, especially govplanet covering up a damaged windscreen with a sticker.

I think they only come as a unit. Maybe I'm wrong?

FML. Took the M1165A1 out for a drive today. Hot antifreeze starts dribbling on my son's legs in the passenger seat. Definitely a bad heater core, so now I have to replace the evaporator. Ugggh. A $1500 part and a full day of labor ahead. Anyone have a line on a bargain priced REV/ECV...

Might be right, but I'd email Seco and ask. IMHO they have been reliable.

eBay, 60 bucks for OEM https://www.ebay.com/itm/373654144898?hash=item56ff85c782:g:ZYkAAOSwEUFgiyyg SECO has them for 82 bucks, https://secoparts.net/products/hmmwv-speedometer-jeep-m151-m998-m35a2-m-series-6680-00-933-3599-nos

I wouldn't be shy about getting the sticker off, worse comes to worse and you ruin the gauge -- that's cheap enough and easy enough to replace.

I'm 6'4" and I don't find the driver's seat too tight . . . maybe swap out for newer seats and see if that helps?

One other stray thought . . . If hard doors (i.e., X doors) are important to you try and buy them on the vehicle in the auction. They have gotten pricey lately (like most HMMWV parts). The overwhelming majority of HMMWVs at auction don’t have doors since the armored Frag doors are removed...

MaxJeep1, my M1165A1 came out of Yermo (Feb auction, May release) and was more-or-less in perfect shape other than the necessary tire replacement. My buddy bought another one the week earlier that was even cleaner than mine. Of course it needed a deep clean and thorough routine...

As posted by those above there are many alternative models with different price points. It does seem the trucks that have been up at auction lately I’ve been much rougher than the batch that were there in February when I purchased my last one. It would be worth getting hold of a chart that...
