    AM General parts website

    Their prices seem quite volatile, and not always less than the gougers on eBay and "made of gold" surplus outlets but often lower. It's worth checking their site when sourcing parts, and, as others have said, being very patient on shipping times. BDGR

    Humvee Leaking Hub?

    Sounds good. The vent fix should buy you some time. BDGR

    Humvee Leaking Hub?

    It's a very small inside diameter, so you won't move a lot of air. If you think air is getting through, that should be enough to vent. Probably just a leaking seal then. We've ALL had one, or more. I've replaced three myself (one on my ride and two on TheCaptain's). It's straightforward...

    Humvee Leaking Hub?

    There should be a small black plastic tube (like 1/8" dia.) coming off the top of the hub, headed for the engine bay and ultimately to the air cleaner housing. It tends to get brittle, and can be plugged, cracked, or both. Check it like any other bit of tubing; disconnect and give a blow or...

    6.5 Drivetrain weight

    They re-used my front shaft half and I bought a new rear shaft from AMG. Had to swap the rear U joint off my old rear shaft to use with my older differential (spline count), but it worked ok. https://genuinehumveeparts.com/ (My HMMWV is a 1987, FYI, so plenty of parts on it don't work with...

    200A 24V/12V Alternator Question

    Well, just now the mechanic says his #2 was in a hurry, and didn't connect the rear battery for 12V before testing. Hallelujah! I may pick her up this weekend. Been there since July... Good, fast, cheap: pick 2. I'll post her up in my old thread when she comes home. I think a 1" lift will...

    6.5 Drivetrain weight

    Yes, it was a torched frame assembly, still bolted on. Had the carrier bearing but rest of front propellor (drive shaft) was cut. Rear shaft also cut. Turbo pipes cut, but half there. Intake missing about half the plumbing. Pretty representative I guess. uShip isn't bad, but be sure to list...

    6.5 Drivetrain weight

    Took a look through my UPS receipts from September. 1250 pounds for 6.5TD, 4L80E and Transfer case on a 4'x8' pallet. I hope you're not sourcing from Global Parts Auto Group. I did. Never again. Bulldogger

    200A 24V/12V Alternator Question

    Interesting. They told me they checked it, but I don't know if it was hooked up to the battery. I will have the Senior Mech check. Thanks for the t/s guide Coug, I stumbled across it earlier myself. I hope it's not the rectifier or the 12v winding. It would be no surprise, as this TD...

    200A 24V/12V Alternator Question

    I'm on my second regulator and still not getting 12VDC output. Can anyone tell me if the alternator make BOTH voltages, and needs both regulated, or does it only make 24VDC and the regulator or some other feature in the circuit converts 24V to 12V or something? This is my first dual-voltage...

    Looks great Dave. These are like chewing gum you know... I hope you brought enough for everyone? ;) Bulldogger

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I mounted my Jerry can in my cargo bed on the left front fender wall. I used stainless carriage bolts and wing nuts (the wing nuts are therefore in the outer fender well ). It does block cargo sometimes, but the wing nuts mean if it really bugs me I can zing off the nuts and pull the frame and...

    M998 muffler

    Welcome to the site. I can't answer as to where to get an affordable replacement muffler, but I did have the same problem. What I did was wire wheel the broken area, and slip a collar on it, cut from a piece of exhaust fitting from the auto parts store. The fitting was chosen such that it...

    Voltage varies

    Something is wrong, definitely. I've had this happen now and again, as so many of us have. First check your wiring connections, everywhere connected to the alternator, especially the battery box and don't forget there is a contact post on the outside of the battery box where the +24V battery...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Adjusting it a tad sounds like a good plan. One must keep in mind the TM alignment settings are for a truck routinely carrying troops and supplies, some 1/2 to 1 ton (per it's 1.25 ton rating) and thus the toe out/in of the loaded suspension will be evened out by the loading. I recall reading...

    LB7 swap... anyone done this?

    People are pushing Dmax's into HMMWVs with their tight engine bays, so I assume a CUCV will be a relative cakewalk. Not that it won't have plenty of oopsies to deal with, but I'm sure it can be done with a big enough hammer. Don't forget pictures! BDGR

    Whipple Turbo or Super? It'll be interesting to follow regardless. And don't squeeze the Charmin, or Mr. Whipple gets mad. Bulldogger
