    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Why go through the expense of that? The temp will hit 220, the fan comes on for a bit and drops the temp. It happens all the time when the engine comes to a decent running temp and you keep it under load. This is an engine that uses compression and heat to ignite the fuel.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So what I didn't mention after I posted the video of taking the M998 to the Hillman MudFest was that I managed to break the u-joint for the front driveshaft on the transfer case... When that went, the axle took out the t-case shift linkage and put a new permanent drain in the t-case. So if...

    how wide is the hmmwv?

    Same here on the trailer fender width. Load it up, the tire sidewalls will flex before the fenders. Get it home and perform your maintenance for mud season is upon us!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Probably the fastest HMMWV with a stock engine. That is for ones that are not being airlifted or airdropped. Those ones in Germany were moving way faster on their way down.

    Prepping for paint

    So when you folks paint these seasoned vehicles, how much do you strip down? Do you put new bolts in place for all the exposed ones like the mirrors and on troop seats and then paint over them? How do you handle hinge points like windshields and door hinges? I'd like to know what you have done...

    How many digits in a 1990 HMMWV VIN?

    I disagree that it is crazy. Each state has it's own rules for vehicle registration.

    M998 payload questions

    In my opinion there is no way to increase the gvwr without too much work. Start with taking off the tires. Not much work there but you should update to 24 body rims with the appropriate rubber to increase load capacity. Feltz tire in WI can help with that as they are very knowlegeable. Leave...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Was doing my PMC yesterday morning and noticed the TP was not at 50 as documented on the fender. Actually I'm running at 35 for all of them. Turns out the core of the valve was loose and that tire had lost it's valve cap. WHEW, that could have been a lot more expensive!!! So while outside I...

    I bid on a truck. It listed 37 inch rubber but the pics showed 36. No biggie. I knew the difference. It didn't have pics of inside the bed and it was a covered 2 man. I gambled and assumed the rear seats were completely missing but they were there. Yay! I saw in the pics the alternator was...

    How about a MV owners only Saturday April 23rd lunch at the drive a tank location? I'd love to bring the M998 down with the HMC-MIL-1 strapped in the back to keep some ice cream and other things cold for a little jaw jacking and check out the variety of rigs that people have. If someone can...

    Location for home made fuel sender access hatch?

    So for Rivnut choices, do you use aluminum when in aluminum and steel with steel or just go with steel. There seems to be a mixed consensus when researching.
