I once got a CB900C given to me free because it sat outside uncovered for 10 years with the carbs off. Guy said it was locked up with rust, which it was. I put a couple squirts of ATF in each cylinder and tried to get it to break free with the starter. Two tries each day...Clunk...Clunk...let...
Searched "HMMWV trans pan" on ebay. There was one listed.
There is also a PML cast aluminum deep pan. I have one of their pans on my jeep. I Also have their diff covers on my jeep and dodge pickup.

Mounted my bridge plate. Thanks rocket990.
Added some bumper numbers
The FL-NG-X had been painted over and was on the original CARC green paint.
The VIN search only revealed a UIC of W1Q9AA which so far is a dead end. So I just went with Non Tactical Vehicle #3
Great...now I see this.
Mine were shot so I blasted and painted the tracks but couldn't find the replacement felt. Only a big roll for $80.
Scoured our considerable salvage yards to no avail. (I did find a set of torsion springs, though.)
I could only find one side NOS for $86, So I sprung for...
Do you still have the blackout light control switches installed and plugged in?
Mine were removed and the main power wire(OR-OR/BLK) was jumped in the remaining connector. I took me weeks of futzing with bulbs, sockets, cleaning grounds, etc to come to the realization that the PO failed to...
Is there any way to tell if your newly purchased CUCV still has the original DOT5, or was switched over to DOT3 by someone previously?
I don't want to add DOT5 and have a mess if DOT 3 was in there.
Another two steps forward, one step back.
Installed upper rifle mounts. Thanks HAWKMAN!
Painted gray dash pad satin brown.
Installed new side marker lenses.
Installed newish sun visor.
Fixed gauge illumination.
Installed NOS CDR valve
Installed vacuum reservoir to assist failing vacuum pump...
Yeah, that's a bubba added hood lock of some sort. Maybe kept locals in Kosovo from stealing the Yankee's batteries.
Kinda like the spare tire and steering wheel chains that many have
Good info. Thanks!
Small temporary victory...while reassembling the head to the stem, I squirted a small amount of denatured alcohol into the vac inlet pipe and shook it around a bit. Re-installed it and fired it up. Now it would fluctuate/bounce from 12 to 20+. Vacuum reading OUT of the vacuum...
Thanks for the info
Just called on both.
Despite what their website shows, summit is out of stock. Estimated restock shows 10/23 but they cant confirm that even.
Advanced doesn't actually have any either. Just the borg warner unit in their ABQ warehouse @$260
Do you have any pics of the inside? I like to "autopsy" my old components to see how they function. I don't want to cut mine open yet, but I'm curious as to what the valves inside look like. I'm wondering if they are just stuck preventing it from holding steady vacuum. Maybe something just a...
Yeah, i checked for the adjuster screw inside the modulator port before I installed it. None on this one.
Its good to know that the pump should be providing steady vacuum. That makes sense as the choppy vacuum cant be very useful.
