    Mep501a

    Soooo I picked up this MEP501A from Camp Ripley, MN a month or so ago for $120. I changed fuel lines, added some diesel and oil and then primed it by discreetly blowing into the fuel tank. I did it discreetly because the neighbors would have mistaken pressurizing the fuel tank with kissing...

    Prepping for paint

    So when you folks paint these seasoned vehicles, how much do you strip down? Do you put new bolts in place for all the exposed ones like the mirrors and on troop seats and then paint over them? How do you handle hinge points like windshields and door hinges? I'd like to know what you have done...

    Water in EESS box??

    Does anyone have an idea of where water tends to get into the boxes? I'm planning on some mudding and going through water this summer and I'd like to avoid having an issue... Opening and drying out the box is not a PMC.

    Oil pressure - gauge, wiring, sensor/sender - Lesson learned

    So I was having an issue with my oil pressure reading fine at some times and then it would go into a spike mode where it would bounce up to 90psi or all the way to the max. I posed the issue to my mechanic and he said it's gotta be the pressure sensor/sender. Rather than following the TM...

    Painting soft tops (aka giving the girl some makeup)

    So I am awaiting my m998. It's 95% green with camo soft doors and a 2 man soft top. The body paint will be easy from what I've seen on the paint threads. I've gone through those paint threads (all 46 pages) and did not see any HMMWV soft top or canvas door painting details. What have people...

    Plywood in the M998

    Does anyone have an idea what the purpose is with the plywood between the passenger seats in some of the M998s? I may have missed it in one of the TMs and my google searches have not revealed an answer... Just trying to learn as much about my HMMWV before I pick it up.
