    Tailgate Hinges

    Hi all. I want to swap a nicer tailgate from a junker HMMWV to my running M1114. Both trucks have similar tailgates with hinges bolted to the frame. Two of the bolts and nuts on each side are easy to access. The third's nut is covered by body a bushing and blocked by angled metal. Feeling...

    Brake Pedal and Steering Pulsing ?

    Not sure on the brakes, but it sounds like you have air in the power steering lines. Especially if the quick disconnect was off. I had the same problem with my truck and followed this TM to purge the lines: http://www.hummerknowledgebase.com/susp/ppsp.html

    WTH: White Wall tires on Taliban HMMWV?

    Probably used for identification to prevent friendly fire.

    Finding a mechanic

    Sounds like a couple phone calls to local mechanics are in order. These trucks are dead simple to work on. (At least compared to modern cars) x2 on supplying TM's when dropping off the truck.

    2 MAN soft top install... Looking for help or drawings/instructions...

    Did you check the TM for a truck that has a 2 man soft top? Maybe a TM for an M1097.

    Registering military Humvee in Florida

    I wrote a letter a couple weeks ago to my state senator about this title B.S. here in Florida and to my amazement, I got a response saying he'd look into it.

    Serpentine belt removal process.

    I literally took some rope, looped it over the tensioner pulley and used my weight to pull it down while under the truck. Then slipped the belt around the pulley.

    Marine Corp vs Army humvees?

    I saw a couple trucks on a certain website listed as N1097. It's also stated on the data plate. Are they from the Navy? I can't seem to find anything online about an N designation...

    Just purchased a M1123 on Gov Planet - Reno NV area

    Not particularly. Just make sure it's origianal and not a Chinese knockoff. Many people here swear by the vendors on this forum. I bought mine off ebay to save $10 because I'm cheap. Also don't start your truck until it's installed and you've checked all the fluids.

    Just purchased a M1123 on Gov Planet - Reno NV area

    Congrats! Get yourself a CDR valve ordered now. They get removed during the demil process.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I replaced the burned out headlight yesterday. It's no longer a cyclops at night.

    SF 97 Status

    Check the Items Won page on GovPlanet. If it says Call Titles Department, they may need to clear up something before issuing the SF97. My truck didn't list a year in the sale and they needed me to complete an additional form before the SF97 was processed.

    Turbo 6.5 Engine Ground Location

    Does anyone know where the engine ground is on turbo 6.5's? I'm at work and have been pouring over the TM's with no luck. When I remove the doghouse, all I see is turbo stuff.

    M1152A1 Wiring

    Should be a supplemental ballistic windshield defroster/heater. I still have the switch on my truck, but no windshield unfortunately.

    REV overheating - normal?

    Not sure if your truck is similar to mine or not but you can really hear when the radiator fan kicks on. It's like the truck has a second engine. lol Do you know if the fan is turning on when the engine gets hot?

    How costly will this be?

    Looks like you need serpentine belt as well so the alternator won't be generating power anyways.

    Runaway kill switch

    I kept a piece of plywood under the passenger seat that was just big enough to block air intake behind the mushroom cap. If my engine ever would have run away, pretty sure I would have had that crazy "mama's baby trapped under a car" strength and ripped the mushroom cap off, then used the...

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    I thought M35A2's were being phased out 13-14 years ago. I bought one back then for dirt cheap. They still pop up in auctions to this day so I guess not?
