INSTALLATION OF TIEDOWN KIT AND FABRICATION OF
DUNNAGE FOR INSTALLATION OF SHELTERS, ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
S-144, S-250, S-318 ON TRUCK 1-1/4 TON M-880 SERIES
Inside my original tank was full of rust, dirt, rocks, you name it. To have it restored at a tank renewal place was going to be between 600-700 bucks. Do try it myself with muriatic acid and Redkote sealer would have cost about 300 buck and no guarantee that it was truly sealed and in good nick...
Hello all,
I'm looking for the part number for the above mentioned outer axle shaft seal. This is pressed onto the shaft and seals up against the steering knuckle. I buggered mine all to heck and need a replacement. Anyone have a part number or where to get them? Thanks.
Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone with an M880 (M882) truck could put and angle gauge on the front shocks to give me the angle degree of the shocks. From what I can see they are about 80-85 degrees but I'd like to have a confirmation. I'm installing the front axle from and M882 into...

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how to make the doors on a M37 lighter? Want to make the doors removable for the summer time and as I get older those door get heavier and I am looking for ways to make them lighter.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Can someone tell me what is the size and length of the bolts that hold the steering gear to the bracket? I don't have a part manual -20P just a -20 so any help would be great.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I tried searching on here plus a google search but didn't find the answer. So I thought I would come to the knowledgable folks here.
What is the size of the steering wheel opening where it mounts to the column i.e 3/4" 7/8" etc and the spline count 36, 40 48 etc.?
Looking at a...
Hi, I've been researching the 37x12.5Rx16.5 tire and it seems that nobody is making that size tire anymore. It is either a 16 inch or it seems that everyone has stepped up to 17 inch. Other than used tires which I would think would dry up over time (ok maybe in 20 years who knows) is there a...
Hi everyone,
I've searched for this anwser for the past hour or so and haven't found what I'm looking for.
The HMMWV when first produced stock had a 3L80 transmission in it which is more or less the TH400 or turbo 400 transmission. Many of you have made the conversion from the 3l80 to the...
Can anyone tell me how to remove the push rod that goes from the peddle to the hydroboost? I'm using a hydro/MC from a CUCV in another application and I need to get or shorten the push rod.
Thanks,

I did search for this and got no answer.... so what is the basic cargo bed of the 2 door "pick-up" HMMWV? 4x6 4x8? About the same as say an M37 dodge?
Thanks
Joe
Other than the -20 and -34 is there a stand alone (civilian) manual on the 6.2L motor? I'm going to be doing some work on my motor over the next few months and I would like to know how much this bolt get's tighten etc... :)
Just thought I'd show some before and after pics of my project while I'm still working on it. This is not going to be a 100% masterclass restoration but a concept vehicle for my driving pleasure... Thanks for looking.
Ok so I'm building a concept truck using an M37 as the bases. In my alternet universe the HMMWV doesn't come around for another 15 years 1995ish and the M37 is still in use in the 1980 much like the M35...anyway I am looking to install a 6.2L GM motor in the the truck and since I'm making it...
I decided to fix instead of replace. Maybe I'm crazy but it was a money issue more than anything. Anyway here are some pics. Sorry some of the pics were taken with the cell phone.
Does the pintle hitch on the M998 (and variants) swivle like that on other MVs (M37, M715, M1008)?
I have seen pictures of the pintle hitch and it looks like it uses the same chain safety plate as the M151A2 used. Is this true and if so does that plate have a hole in the middle for the...
