    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    No that is not the sticker. Get in the drivers seat. Remove that cover to your right and look at the back of the valve covers.

    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    GP said they try to avoid pics of overhauled stickers or make any reference to it as they are not able to verify it and do not want to get involved with it. one of my overhauled stickers was on the doghouse, imagine if they said, overhauled in 2004 and it turned out someone swapped out the...

    Does the odometer reading mean much on the old HMMWVs at Gov Planet auction?

    Remember, it is military miles. If it is an 87, never reset and a bit worn looking, chances are it does not have 3500 miles like the odometer may say

    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    If Maine did the rebuild there should be a sticker on the motor stating date and things like oversized rings and such. When I spoke to the guys in Maine they stated that the units that came through there were ground up rebuilds. Mine had the e-brake update, 3 point seat belts and other things...

    Half way there.

    I am building a sort of anchor to drive in the ground of catch in the mud for issues like that.

    Half way there.

    What I found was that in the thicker mud, at a certain point they will switch from being a HUMVEE and into a sled thanks to the large flat areas underneath. The great part of the 1038 is being able to self recover. Glad that you had fun.

    Radiator Armor, so I was told

    Mustang, I will see if I can get some more. Yesterday I was able to swap out my hood thanks to someone walking across mine after the auction. The GP guys were great about it. He said that the reason that most trucks do not have the radio tray is that during the demil process the radio needs to...

    Radiator Armor, so I was told

    I was told that this is armor for the radiator, seems odd as no air would get in. Anyone ever seen it and or want it. It is under the Radio Tray in the pic

    Issues with SF-97

    I am lucky in that I did not need to get an SF-97 but there seems to be a trend here with GP pointing fingers. First it was the EUCs being held up as Battle Creak only had 2 people that could do them and (insert the other 50 reasons here) Now we are seeing the same for the titles: "Also Just...

    So you got your new HUMVEE home and now what. He is my list of what to do, Please add suggestions and I will edit the checklist.. Before ever starting it check the oil and coolant.

    HMMWV on Grease

    I ran my last pick-up on Used Veggie oil. I will give you the process I went through. First, after collecting it you have to filter it down to 5 micron. That was a messy job and cleaning the filters was not fun. (Finding a source for free WVO is getting harder as large Bio Diesel companies are...

    Knuckle and gear cover

    Hard for me to pay $20 for $1.50 worth of aluminum. I guess it's the HUMVEE tax ha

    HMMWV on Grease

    Are you going to use just veggie oil or bio diesel? That will help... Pure veggie oil is to thick so it must be heated to work.

    Knuckle and gear cover

    I am going to price the metal today. I am thinking of going with Stainless Steel as it will last. What are everyone's thoughts.

    Knuckle and gear cover

    No, I am not a CNC guy. The only reason I did not want to pull one off is I do not want any down time with the 998 right now. I was thinking that I would make them out of stainless as that would resolve them falling apart. Once I get it set up I figure I would make a run of them so that I can...
