UPDATE!!! I put an overnight rush on the plastic tank replacement (from SECO, who initially sold me the one that failed last month) and the custom aluminum one from MME. The new replacement from SECO arrived sealed in the original bag inside the sealed box. This box was the exact dimensions...

Yes, everything is good. I change the oil frequently since it's so easy - like every 2K or so and I check it often so I'd definitely notice it. I'm used to changing oil on dry sump Ferrari motors which takes forever. This thing is literally 15 min with no jacks needed! The one thing I...

NSN?

Well, although I have a new plastic replacement on the way, I just ordered the aluminum tank as well, sent overnight. I guess I'll just keep the plastic as a spare just in case the aluminum arrives defective - otherwise, I'll resell it for a steep discount. Thanks for the insight.

So, I was trying to release my old, stuck radiator cap and I must have cracked the riveted seal on the neck of the tank. I replaced the cap with a new one and it started leaking at the rivets. So, I ordered a new, plastic tank and sealed the old tank with epoxy to get me by. The new tank came...

About 2 months ago I went to start the truck at night and there was a pop and smoke from the battery compartment when I went to crank. I tried again and it did it again. When I removed the seat to inspect, I noticed I replaced the plastic cover upside down and it was putting pressure on the...

So, the A1 has the heavier springs? I read that the A2 had the heavier springs, however my 1994 A1 looks and feels like the springs are the heaviest, so what you state makes sense. Even the stance of mine is slightly different than the 86 A0 I saw. Mine seems to sit a bit higher with a slight...

This is interesting. I am looking to replace my top because it's doing the same thing in the same places. Mine is old though. I actually repainted it until I get the new one. I certainly don't want to replace it if the new top is going to do the same thing.

Well, when you have a short-barrel AR with a launcher attachment, and a HMMWV in the driveway, there's only one thing left to do. See pics below and enjoy! BTW, driving it to work and spying on onlookers through the security camera is great way to kill time. I'm sure someone will call the cops...

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I am aiming for - I want to keep it as "official" looking as possible but add some outrageous customizations that don't distract from the military pedigree. I was planning on painting the speaker grilles as well but I am waiting until I decide on the...

I almost forgot to show off my shiny new e-brake I installed as well. The old one was rusted beyond recognition. You'll also notice the rear tunnel board is something I made myself out of the same thickness plywood as the forward piece. I was able to order this new forward tunnel insulation...

You are correct. I listen to fairly modern stuff, some EDM, some hip hop. Normally I despise the idea hearing vibrating bass arriving 15 minutes before the car, but somehow with a camo Humvee it almost makes sense lol

So, some of you wanted photos and remembered to snap a few on the way into the office this morning. The resto is coming along great and when I get the new top, curtain, and brown bucket seats, I'll be sure to post the updates as well. So far, I have replaced so many parts, I can't count...

I replaced all the bumpers already, and no, I didn't install because I wanted to be sure this was normal. For example, if the civilian uses a different stock part then that could explain things. The old ones already fit very tight, so with nearly an inch of rubber missing, then these may not...

Among piles of new parts I've purchased for the eventual restoration of my HMMWV, I just got in my new hood latches/dog bones. They appear to be real, OEM parts. Before installing these, I lined them up against the old ones still installed on the truck and they are about 3/4" short! I know...

UPDATE: Ok, it's been about 300-350 miles since the repair. Yes, I drive this truck a lot. Still smooth. I paint marked the bolt in relation to the washer, the washer in relation to the pulley and the bolt in relation to the pulley, using a large "X" with all lines pointing to the four...

New Rapco paint, inside and out, new stainless hardware on all lights, windshield, mirrors, grill, etc., all new decals, new tail lights, reflectors, side markers, new doors, new windshields and seals, new interior wood, refinished the mesh grills, bumper, and all mesh with semi-gloss black, new...

UPDATE: Ok, I reassembled everything and WHAT A DIFFERENCE. SMOOTH AS SILK. FASTER, MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE. The truck runs like a new truck. I did some research and the poster above was right, this was very common in the 6.2 GM civilian trucks. According to GM, the problem lies within the...

I'm sorry I completely missed your post. Any leads or help would be appreciated!

Again, I agree your approach is the right one, should I want to keep the engine. I checked all day yesterday with machine shops and welders, even showing them your post to see if they can do the work. All denied. I even went to the neighboring towns and nobody will touch it without removing...
