    Cargo shell nets….

    Hard to find good images to see how they work. Could buy a set of nets, but if I don’t have the stuff to mount kinda a waste.

    Cargo shell nets….

    Could someone show me all the mounting points for the triangular cargo shell nets. I see on the sponson there are two spots for loops, but these are the only two I can figure out. Thanks in advance.

    How it started, how it’s going.

    I have the baseplate for interior. I likely won’t get middle racks, as it takes what usefulness the truck has away. Lol I am tracking down a deactivated M2 for the top tho. Hah

    How it started, how it’s going.

    I have wanted a hmmwv for decades. Started with wanting an H1 as mil ones were not an available, but as a young man at that time I could not afford it. Haha. Fast forward to last year. I found my preferred colour, in a military rebuilt truck, an hour from my house, Already licensed in Canada. It...

    Brake noise

    I chamfered the edges, but not a lot. Not sure if that could be it too. Any help getting a visual or link on these backers would be great, I am currently searching.

    Brake noise

    Also looking at the yokes mounted to the diff, they don’t seem grooved or anything to cause this amount of slop. And I foresee trouble getting the bolts out of the aluminum housing. Lol Everything is OEM from HPG

    Alternator bracket bolts

    I’m positive I have the old style. Truck was redone. But I don’t think that was updated. Can the newer style bracket be installed?

    Alternator bracket bolts

    I understand what you mean. I guess the heads are based on GM so metric would be right, especially as it’s a 2006 GEP Does anyone know the exact bolt size and length? I’ll see if I have space but at a bare minimum I’d go to 12.9.

    Alternator bracket bolts

    We are talking the bolts going into the cylinder head right? I assume you need an Imp bolt for the head. Mine is fine at the moment but worth upfitting if possible,

    Alternator bracket bolts

    Just a thought, is there a modern bolt that could replace the bolts that commonly break? Like a stronger grade 12 or something? Or is it that they loosen without someone’s knowledge prior to breaking? Just looking to see if there’s a preventative measure.

    Does anybody know what this red thing is on the parking brake?

    Those park brake handles have no lock other than being “over centre” so if you bump it, it releases, violently. So that pice of tube makes it so it cannot release. You just lift it to release and slide back down after. It doesn’t lock like for security, just avoids accidental release.

    Steering help

    I don’t have any, I had to put my truck back together with the old s Crappy parts I removed lol. So photos were not in my mind I order prev gen A2 arms so I’ll try again this weekend and confirm my issue and take a photo.

    Steering help

    Yeah I got those. At this point I think the Center link is mis built. When you mount to pitman arm it slopes heavily to the right side, resulting in the idler being way way too low. I’ll likely need a replacement

    Steering help

    Hey guys, I have a 1987 SN 30,000ish M998 A0…. I had Play in my pitman arm, and have been working to replace all the stuff like this anyways. So I order the newest and best retrofit kit from HPG. The $800 one with new idler, pitman arm and centre link all heaviest etc. moog Problem Solvers...

    What’s this marking mean?

    It’s a Transport Account code But hmmwv are moved all over the US and a lot don’t have these. Is it for more significant moves? Overseas? Or is it just luck of the draw it was stamped on,
