I have been looking for jack stands for my HMMWV and I have not been successful. The ones I bought from Sears are not tall enough. I thought of using 6 × 6 railroad timber to get more height from my existing jack stands but I want to check with you all to see if you have a better approach...
I see a hole / jack point on only one of the four control arms. The other 3 look different. There are two smaller holes and the stub on the jack does not fit. Attached are pictures. Anyone have pointers on how to jack up the other 3 control arms? Do you have any pictures that might help me...
The 60 amp alternator on my HMMWV is starting to make some new noises. The volt meter indicates that it is still charging the batteries fine. I am guessing the bearings in the alternator are kaput. Have you tried replacing the bearings in the alternator?

I just installed a new Cadillac valve. Can one of you please tell me how I can bleed the Cadillac valve for any air pockets after installing ? Thanks in advance.

Folks, My hydraulic fan is staying on all the time. I did some tests, there is power / voltage at the Cadillac valve when the temperature is below 220 F. My analysis at this point is that the Cadillac valve is not working. It is quiet with or without voltage at it's connectors. I am wondering if...
I started using the heater blower / fan on my HMMWV this winter and it is noisy even at low setting. I was wondering if this common or if I need to clean the blower fan and check the blower motor. It is as loud as the engine is at idle.

I finally got my 2 Man HMMWV 998 10 days ago and I have been working away on it as time permits. I noticed that the front wheels are quite perpendicular to the ground but the rear wheel have a very noticeable positive camber. Is this correct / common? Do I need to when them aligned properly? I...
I was wondering if HMMWVs / m998s pass emissions tests? Is 6.5 L any better than the 6.2 L engine as far as emissions go? Going by the pictures on GP, I did not notice any of the HMMWV m998s with DPFs. Anybody put a DPF on ? Thank you in advance.
Is it possible to switch out the military seats for after market seats? Would a comfy car seat fit in the space available? Has anybody done this? if yes, can you please share pictures? Thanks in advance.
I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind sharing what to look for when short listing HMMWVs for bidding on.
I am guessing
1. HMMWVs with 6.5L are worth a little more than ones with 6.2L ??
2. HMMWVs that can start on their own are worth more than one that need to be jump started ??
3. HMMWVs...
I been looking on Gov Planet and I see that some HMMWVs have only a few thousand miles. Do these odometer readings mean much? If the odometer readings don't mean anything, how would the military keep track of the vehicle usage and maintenance ? Thanks in advance.
