    M1123 in Tucson

    Even if it’s missing the tcm it should still go into gear. Reverse and at least 1st and second going fdw. Is the transfer case engaged ?

    Odd 12 bolt wheel and tire run flat styles?

    When I replaced all the tires on the funvee , I found there were 3 solid runflats a 1 that was a 2 pice , I assumed it was broken ( but didn’t have rough edges) , and since I didn’t mark where the tires where when I replaced them I guessed it was the tire that shook the truck. Since I pulled all...

    2 MAN soft top install... Looking for help or drawings/instructions...

    I see. You’re missing the nut inserts in the A and B pillars to mount the top of the door frame. Pictures are worth a thousand words. I wish I was close to the funvee I would get you the correct size of nutserts.

    Any Transmission Or Overdrive Swap Recently

    I went with the 11rX20 tires. Get a nice smooth ride and it doesn’t put strain on the drive train ie. rubbing on anything.

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    That’s my fave. The blaster works but may take a couple of try’s , plus if ur not holding on real good it can tak off like a rocket.

    50/50 Diesel Gas Mix as Deuce Fuel?

    If the Fuel Density Compensator hasn't been bypassed and is working , you should be able to run any amount of the allowed fuels (oil,gas,trans fluid etc.) and not have any issues other than the ones previously noted.

    Front end wobble only at 30-35mph

    Alignment will not cause tire hopp. Out of balance / worn ball joints will but bad shocks will let the tires hopp and chopp the crap outta tires. If you push down on the corners of the truck ( not as easy as said as done) does it bounce ? Is there any oil on the shocks from the shafts ? You...

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    I don’t know why the air blaster is in there twice. 🤷🏽 It only shows 2 pics when uploaded but I see 3

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    Well there’s always this it blasts a lot of air to fill the tire Or one of these that fills the gap between the tire and the bead and just pushes off when the tire is fully inflated. ( my fave next to starting fluid 😉)

    Front end wobble only at 30-35mph

    Well the good thing that most parades only run at @2mph. I chased that same gremlin and ended up replacing all the tires and getting rid of the runflats. If I need runflats I’ll just foam fill the wheels on my way outta town. 😉

    HMMWV Fuel Lift Pump

    First thing I had to replace When I got my truck. I just used heavy wheel bearing grease to hold the pin. I would recommend not re connecting the vent line to the system and just put a short hose to drain in case it starts to leak again. the next thing you should do is pull off your wheels and...

    Mileage On Humvees

    I am only guessing but my truck showed 20k miles when I got it , looking at the wear on the frame , ball joints , etc. I’m guessing it’s more like 220k miles , most vehicles are driven 10k miles a year on average And I’m guessing that the young marines that were driving the truck before I got it...

    Who Done Went And Did This?

    I’m just sayin. It’s the loose nut behind the wheel 🤡

    Who Done Went And Did This?

    Speculation only. Old guy buys hummer and passes out and crashes. It’s Florida ! That and 1000 other reasons he crashes. I doubt he was racing down one of the side streets , no skid marks or other seen factors all the wheels are intact , I would guess medical issue other than mechanical failure.
