Humvees have a "body no." stamped on the outside A-pillar right below the windshield on the driver´s side. BUT that body no. does NOT match the VIN, although it is close most of the time. Won´t help you with the registration issue, but will help a bit with validating the 0619. 0619 would fit a...

Just to make sure; maybe you know all this already: If this beauty was my new Humvee, I´d first worry about the typical automotive problems that come with this special vehicle, before caring about the outer appearance. First point would be the wheel spindles in the hubs. Those are known to...

On the second page of the instructions for 57K0290 there´s a statement that on M996, M997, M1037, M1042 and M1097 vehicles, the "seat back repositioning modification kit 57K3220" should be applied to the commander´s seat prior. So, no need for M998 vehicles. I guess that on the ambulances...

To stay strictly in period even in rain, I always carry two GI issue woodland camo ponchos in my slantback, right by the driver´s seat. If you put those on, most parts of you stay dry. The second poncho is for the guy in the commander´s seat. If I have passengers in the rear, and it starts to...

In the 4-speed trucks, the time delay switch is relocated to the rear of the engine valley. As far as I heard, it no longer activates transmission kickdown, that is done by the TCM in conjunction with the throttle position sensor.

Sorry to chime in so late, but I just stumbled upon those two images from a GP auction of USMC M997 ambulances. Seems like the M997 (when fitted with a DWF kit) had the sensor cup relocated to the inside of the frame rail indeed. My best guess for the reason is because on the M997 with its air...

I read on G503 that the Humvee fuel tank is made from Polypropylene. But no way to verify that unless you sacrifice a piece of a tank and do some chemical analysis. But if your tank is punctured anyway, maybe have them weld in a piece of PP. Then do a pressure test with water. If the welds...

LOL ! Even with that fancy gizmo, your left leg is still freezing to death in winter, while the right one is roasted. :ROFLMAO:

Sorry, threw that bag away shortly after taking the picture. But if you´re looking for the NSN, it should be 5340-01-457-5734, which is the version for the newer vehicles.

I never opened mine (the lid of the moving piston is glued or welded shut), so I don´t know the original wall thickness. Can´t be much, though.

I tried printing one from ABS, but the problem is that the two thicker posts are hollow, and have moving plastic pistons in them, plus a spring. The forces on the posts when returning the steering wheel back to middle position are considerable, so in the printed version the pretty thin walls of...

I have all those, but am a bit far away....:cool:. Just in case nobody locally volunteers: In a bind, all those items can be replaced by makeshift gear: The thickness of the block gauge is given in the TM, so you can make your own. The test cable is just a convenient way to measure voltages. It...

This is the old version; open at the bottom : And that´s the new one, with a "hook" :

Which fingers exactly have broken off ? The two thin ones are only needed for installation ( I think to get the distance to the switch unit right) and are intentionally broken off after mounting.

Of course, it only connects to part #30 if you have the Deep Water Fording Kit with the snorkel intake. Without DWF kit, the filter´s end is just open, like in your picture.

Did you read out trouble codes from the transmission ? As said above, there´s an amazing 4L80 troubleshooting manual out there, which is a very detailed reference and includes step-by-step instructions. The tranny might default to safe mode if one of several sensors gives unplausible results...

Sorry to interfere here, but I´m pretty sure the line from that extra horn on the CDR valve does NOT go up the intake stack. The extra horn is connected to the sensor cup. The air pressure being trapped inside the sensor cup when deep fording acts upon the mebrane inside the CDR, and directs...

Zeke, if I understand you right, you seem to be under the impression that you can use a softtop C-pillar on your hardtop roof. That is NOT possible., unless you heavily modify the softtop pillar to fit the hardtop roof. There is a "standalone" hardtop C-pillar that can be used without the...

Like the gentlemen before me said. PLUS, there has been a recent ban by the United States on the export of any slantback humvees or armoured hardtop roofs (including basic armour). Even the usual dealers with an export license don´t get any more slantbacks exported to Europe (and anyplace else...

Very helpful information. Thanks very much, Kurt !
