    Lenders for HMMWV purchase?

    $10k is more than enough money to get an auction truck…just understand how the bid and fee’s work before you bid. Also…determine what truck model you want or can afford upfront

    Hmmwv radiator 6.5 non turbo, best option

    yes, the radiator is longer than the shroud…I Had to align the bottom of the shroud so far down at the bottom, I used a flapper wheel to remove some shroud at the center bottom so the rubber isolator would line up correctly. If this wasn’t done, the shroud sat to to far back and the fan blade...

    HMMWV Contact truck weld switch

    I’ve had a truck with that same switch, it engages the fan clutch if it not yet turned on via the thermostatic switch, the switch is a safely switch, you need to pull the switch to move it from position to position.

    turbo to NA

    You can’t really…at least not an OEM center rear mounted turbo. I do in fact have an after market turbo here for sale if at all interested…it’s a commander 6500 kit removed from a customers truck because he went with a different motor. It’s mfg by BMI, a page sponso here on SS.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    yes, I’ve had probably 200 m1123’s through the shop…seen one or two that did have the casted version, the MAK suspension kit came with the “old” style spring mount, along with front and rear fixed springs, shocks..

    M998 Transmission Swap Los Angeles

    My shop has been doing 4L80e conversions for 20yrs in the HMMWV, you need a few more items than what you have listed. My shop is in NorCal….

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    954’s yes…variable rates No, remember also that if you go Variable rate, you have to have Casted upper spring mount and not the stamped version, MAK equipped trucks have the stamped version.

    HMMVs coming from Hawaii

    I’ve had customers buy trucks in HI and ship them back over to the mainland, the cost wasn’t bad at all. as far as truck’s conditions? Like anything, you have to rely on the pics….ive had many many from Yermo that were absolute rust buckets, you have to remember that most of these are USMC...

    HMMWV turbo models

    You dont need a turbo model to go 70mph, the A2 model is a 4 speed with NA motor and is actually quite happy at 70mph and has lower rpm’s than a turbo equipped model due to the gearing, the A2 runs a 2.73 comp to a turbo trucks 3.08.

    You didn’t waste anytime getting that roof on, Looks great! Definitely better than sourcing an old rusty 10 series roof.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Your issue is not shocks, your issue is you’re truck has up armored fixed rate HD springs, the fix isn’t shock, shocks dampen your return rate when a spring is compressed, an unloaded M1123 that has MAK springs has no return, the return is felt in your kidneys. You need to go back to the...
