    Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

    That's appesrs to be an LMTV rim. They work on 5ton trucks. Here's another one -

    M932A2 Alternator Question

    I'd like to buy your bad alternator. I just need a placeholder to give the belt something to ride. Someone needed an alternator worse than me and so I was persuaded to sell mine. Now my poor wrecker sits in the field, all forlorn and nonrunning...

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    I share your concern about tampering with the castle nut. Conceivably it would be weakened substantially.

    NHC250 Add Ether Injector for cold start. Without a turbo, With a turbo

    The thing about ether and preheat... pick one or the other. Do not combine them. For the NH250 I prefer ether. Although the 939series has built in on board ether, I use a spray can and squirt it briefly over my left shoulder right as I start to crank. It's thoroughly mixed by the time it...

    Building Slave Cable

    The slave plugs and the anderson connectors are both marked. When crimping and assembking them be sure to get it right and then afterwards there's no way to screw it up.

    Hello everyone, new here.

    Something like you, except I didn't think all that much of them when I was in. When I was in, the M998 was just coming out and replacing the old jeeps. 6.2 gutless turd and 3spd with no park. And now that I have mine, it's one of my favorite vehicles. I've driven this one everywhere :AZ...

    Hello everyone, new here.

    If you were looking in PA and didn't flinch at the price, it's highly unlikely that RWH's price will shock you... RWH is trying to comply with the "no sales in the open forum" rules. None of my business... but....

    They do not. They're all the same, not mirror image.

    Freight Shipping

    Your desired destination is the freight terminal nearest you, then you go there and pick it up. When getting freight quotes, selecting "terminal" should be one of the options. Usually it saves like $100...

    Building Slave Cable

    If you don't already have the materials, I can probably make you a set for less than you can make them yourself, especially if you're buying tools to do it with....

    Building Slave Cable

    I use a hydraulic crimper followed by heat shrink. I usually use the tinned copper lugs although I doubt there's really any meaningful difference over bare copper. The issued cables are 2/0 fine stranded copper. I've made them both heavier and lighter than that, but 2/0 is about all you're...

    84 Blazer "Thankful I'm alive"

    IIRC, the M1009 is rated to tow 1200lbs with a 100lb tongue weight. Travel trailers are parachutes, much more unstable than smaller denser loads of higher weight. A 28' travel trailer weighs more than 7000lbs. I frequently tow a travel trailer (not with a CUCV). Every time a tractor...

    M923 Hydraulics?

    You've got a navy or marine truck. They had the wet kits installed even when the winch wasn't present.

    Thanks! This will be tomorrow's activity.

    MEP802 Short

    I haven't. I did nothing more than check fluids and slave it from the hmmwv and check power at the convenience outlets. All was fine (it was set to 208v 3 phase). This was the 3rd of three sets. After the other two were tested and sold, I turned my attention to this one with the results posted...
