    two piece 12 bolt rim assembly Hmmwv

    I didn’t miss the point at all. I have Centrimatics with tires that were installed this way. I then balanced the tires and they are perfect at all speeds. The five gallon inverted bucket allows more balanced tire installation, thereby reducing rim offset and mismatched halves. It allows the...

    Could we get a HMMWV tips and tricks section?

    Isn’t that what this is? (And isn’t that what the TMs are for)

    two piece 12 bolt rim assembly Hmmwv

    Stop torturing yourself. Just get a five gallon bucket and flip upside down. Place the inner rim on that. Place the tire with internal runflats over that. Don’t forget to place lubricant bundles in to lubricate the runflats. Then place your gasket. Then place the outer rim over everything...

    Any Hmmwv owners in houston? Mechanic recommendations?

    Mod Mafia is an arrogant overpriced overhyped outfit that should be avoided, IMHO

    Best passenger mirror location

    Weather? Winds here blow too liberal. “Don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.... can’t use the fountain ‘cause the vandals stole the handles”.

    Wipers question

    CamO Is less referring to indexing and more stating that you might be off by 180 degrees. Also, remove the wipers and mark the spindles and see how they move. They should always park in the same position. Use that information to re-mount the wipers properly.

    Hard Start Issue

    Corroded battery leads and wires can lead to a poor charge state which over time will damage batteries. Sometimes batteries are good BUT poor charge state leads to good batteries testing as under charged.

    fuel dumping out of my air filter box

    Did you open the hood and run the vehicle and look for where the fuel is coming from? Did you disconnect vent lines and check to see which one is actively spouting fuel? Is the top of your engine soaked in fuel?

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    People keep asking about my 700R4. They ask where they should order parts like flex plates and TV lockdown and tranny to transfer case adapters. They don’t realize that Bowtie Overdrives had everything, soup to nuts. I am therefor posting my receipt for what I did and what accessory parts were...

    No Start

    Did you search for the many posts on this matter. 1 - check battery 2 - fill tank to 2/3 and see if this is electric pre-pump issue. 3 - alternatively pre-pressurize fuel tank to see if it is electric pre-pump. 4 - Crack injector and crank to see if fuel comes out.

    Please help settle an argument over tire size

    Maybe you just need to find new (and smarter) friends. (Always best to match outer diameters on spares, but the unmatched lateral offsets will also create driveability issues).

    Should it be mandatory that new owners read the -10 manual before they take delivery??????????

    Yeah, I get where Papa is coming from but we all gotta start somewhere and none of us come out of the box knowing it all.... As far as my .002... All are welcome here (as long as they are not tree hugging dope smoking sandle wearing Democrats) 🤪

    Starter solenoid issues

    I have less experience with HMMWV’s than Cam, but I have huge experience with heat soaked starters. Heat shield +/- new or rebuilt starter should fix. Only problem with that is a PCB issue where the glow plug sensor is somehow farked and preventing start when warm. Heat soak is not uncommon...

    Starter solenoid issues

    Guys. It’s is either a bad starter solenoid getting heat soaked or a bad starter that is getting heat soaked.
