    Fill drilled holes in m1009 roof

    I actually just bought a cheap HF 125amp welder. Should I grind off the paint and just start building up the puddle over the hole? Would it be better to cut off the shank of a bolt in it and basically weld it in place as a filler material? The holes are about 3/8” diameter, and my...

    Fill drilled holes in m1009 roof

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fill four holes that were drilled completely through (daylight shining through) the roof of an m1009 above the driver's head? I am going to paint it next week. A fire department mounted lights previously. Also, what do you fill the holes in the...

    HMMWV Maaco Paint?

    So the quote from Maaco was $450 on the phone. When I got there he said he had to add $150 for extra sanding. Next thing you know, he disappears and has his associate read me the quote of $1100 before tax. I’ll be looking elsewhere.

    HMMWV Maaco Paint?

    I bought 2 gallons of 383 green CGI paint from Rapco to paint the humvee myself, but I changed my mind about painting it myself. Maaco said they could do it for $450. He said he’d have to ask a manager about using my paint, but ensured me they use Sherwin Williams and can match the color...

    keyed ignition wont' start HMMWV

    I have tried three different keyed ignitions on the HMMWV, and none of them have worked correctly. The first one I got from Federal military parts. I used a multi-meter and made sure the wires from the vehicle were labeled correctly (Battery, Ground, and Ignition). I wired them to the new...

    HMMWV Heater fan/blower not working

    Is there a trouble shooting section in the TM for the heater fan/blower, and if so could you tell me which manual and page number? I've been searching the TM's as well as the forums, and can't find it. When I toggle the heater fan switch to high or low nothing happens. I suspect it is a...

    HMMWV paint selection

    I just called another location of SW and they said they can't sell CARC without a military contract. So, its making GCI at $40/gal look like the next best way to go. Is the GCI (34094 CARC substitute) from Rapco a poor substitute? Thanks!

    HMMWV paint selection

    Is the color Green 383? The SW Industrial Coatings guy said it needed a catalyst (hardener) mixed 2 to 1. Do you all use a hardener? Hardener is $204/gal and paint is $198/gal plus need to FedEx ship it.

    HMMWV paint selection

    I just called Sherwin Williams Automotive Finishes, and they said they've never heard of CARC paint. Is there a product number and color code to ask for? Thanks!

    How much paint and which color for M998

    How much paint should I buy to paint a humvee inside and out? Just doing solid green with black bumpers, etc. Rapcoparts.com has GCI for $40/gal. Which green color is recommended: CARC substitute or current issue lusterless Olive Drab, etc. ?
