I have a 6.2L 1985 HMMWV (got it back circa ~1999). I have since swapped the engine and it ran well until recently. :-( Noticed the lift pump wasn't pushing much fuel so I replaced it and also replaced the fuel/water separator with a new unit and filter. I also decided to install an inline...

Thanks for the response, The terminals on the batteries all look good, tight, no corrosion, etc. Nothing fused to anything it shouldn't be. The cables are another story. I will wait for the new cables to come in and take all the terminals off, wire brush the contact areas, and then put it all...

My hmmwv is throwing sparks and crackling smoke from the buss bar area. It starting doing this when I was doing some above normal amount of cranking. The reason I was cranking it longer than usual was because I drained out some old diesel, put in a new fuel filter/strainer and needed to bleed...

I put a key on mine, here is how... I have 3 ways to secure mine: 1) I chock the wheel 2) I have a cable strap that pulls out and I put an American lock on the steering wheel 3) I took my KDS box and opened it up, drilled a hole on the side for a security/barrel style SPST switch. I then...

I had a pallet of qty 6 slantback rear hatches complete with all hardware, seals, latches, etc sitting behind my brothers commercial business in OrangePark, FL. All were 3 pattern CARC with "military police" stencils. Someone came by and stole the entire lot of them. I have some pictures of his...

Do yourself a favor and keep that HMMWV away from the beach... Sounds like fun, but salt water? NO THANKS

I said TedG, but I meant to say Ted Hils. Sorry for confusion. Ted Hils Trucks n Stuff. I got my engine installed and its working well so far...

Are these parts being auctioned thru GL? I would be hesitant to purchase anything that was a "take-off" and risk having a fine representative of the US Govt knocking on my door to repo my truck.

Oh yeah, and I just swapped out my dead 6.2L engine. I had a blown head gasket and enough internal damage to warrant replacement. I found another 6.2L that came out of a military power "refresh". I paid Ted Hils Trucks 'n Stuff $750 for it, and rolled the dice. Was "fun" pulling out the old...

I don't believe the 1500-2000 statistic for "leaked" HMMWV's in civilian hands. The USMC deal was on a bridge project with United Defense. United Defense then auctioned these off in CA and GA. From my understanding, they were sold in lots that included several "vehicles" in various states of...

Also, the engine from TedG was not seized up. It was easy to turn it over by hand. Regardless, I sprayed a ton of marvel oil down every intake plenum every time I rotated it while bolting up flexplate to the TC. I figured having the top end good and OILY was a good thing, this being a diesel...

I had a head gasket blow on my 6.2L. I am pretty sure the reason that it died was due to someone using a bunch of starter fluid to attempt starting the engine when they didn't realize it was the MFI pump solenoid that the issue (was not me, but I am at fault for not supervising I guess). With...
