    Can't you just duck underneath and check? A full socket set should have everything you need.

    Rear Seat Support/Base Alternative

    If 86humv says they are available... that means he is selling them. He is a well known and respected site vendor.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Sent my rig in for: 4 speed 765R4 (700R4 upgraded variant) installation, along with new electric imitation X-door installation, rear Airlift-bumper installation, pintle extension, and assessment for lifting the frame 2" to allow install the Whipple AND assessment for installation of the Red-dot...

    Noise while idling in Drive or Reverse - Silent in Neutral

    Not sure what you're worried about. Mine makes the same sounds in and out of gear. In gear the engine gets loaded with forces against the torque converter and clutch plates . It slows down and needs more fuel to rotate while also loading the torque converter and transmission components. Perhaps...

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    Guys, this is the same unit used on 6.2 and 6.5 marine applications, and was sold for the H1 crowd for 2 years until the turbo units made it to the civilian world. It is robust, predictable, and will do what I need at highway speed. It is set for 9PSI at maximum boost. Not worried about off the...

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    I never said it would on level (terrain). Uphill on mountain passes is an issue for n/a engines. The supercharger will keep air pressure and oxygen availability more constant while going up hill in mountains, allowing me to maintain speed uphill in air rarefied elevations. Acceleration and...

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    I live at sea level and I need to go up and down steep mountains to go skiing and river kayaking and such. Diesel engines hate thin air. Turbos and superchargers make up for thinner atmosphere and allow the engine to function at higher altitude and at sea level. This way I won't be forced to...

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    I am in contact with a company specializing in superchargers AND I'm considering thicker copper head gaskets to diminish compression ratio slightly. A concern is the woodruff key (or whatever they call it) and the short harmonic balancing bolt that will need attention. I will probably use a...

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    Just purchased and received a Whipple [EDIT - supercharger]. Yes that unobtainium Whipple I have drooled over for a few years now, and no I'm not planning to TP my Slantback. Anyone have experience installing these and then turning up the IP to allow proper fuel delivery? [EDIT - Standard...

    Anti-theft measures?

    The Tile device with the free app is a cheap version of Lojack. A vehicle lock holding the shifter in "Reverse" will prevent ignition and theft. Angry dogs and such are great deterrents too. ;-)

    Regarding export a humvee

    Holy resurrection Batman! Trying to squeeze a sale out of a 2 year old thread! Nice. You guys realize the OP bought the HMMWV, shipped the HMMWV, legally exported/imported the HMMWV, now drives the HMMWV, and occasionally posts about issues with his HMMWV?

    How not to install a Duramax in a M998

    Diesel engines and trannies with computers...Awesome. :/ I hate Cummins conversions but a mechanical Cummins makes more and more sense when you see just how much wiring and reprogramming is needed with a Dumamax/Allison conversion. Thanks for posting. Really amazing stuff you're doing...

    Perhaps your transporter had something to do with this issue?

    Myth busting- Batteries

    It is true, and is a big discussion in places like IH8MUD where the Diesel motors use 24 Volt systems. A "solargiser" will help. On this site, milcommguy sells 'em. So do many site sponsors. milcommguy's prices are super reasonable, if he still has them in stock. Prices on FleaBay are high.

    CRUISE CONTROL

    Mogman : We could fix this more easily. Come to Brooklyn, and I can fix your bone on bone knee. Parts are readily available and it would take about an hour. Of course you can get pics for posting on the “What have you done today” forum, or perhaps the “Restoration and Paint” forum. Depending...

    M998 Starter installation

    1 or 2 6x2's under the jack? 1 or 2 6x2's on the jack lifting surface? Borrow a jack for free from one of the local car care chains that advertise free loaner tools?

    Wheel question hmmwv

    Those wheels are meant for a civilian Hummer H1. The civilian H1 is based on the HMMWV so they will absolutely fit perfectly.

    Office chairs for new seats

    You would need to remove the important safety feature behind the seat that resists side impact in order to recline your seat.

    M998 rough ride

    The HMMWV is designed to be heavier. The de-mil process leaves the heavy springs in a vehicle that becomes underweight in may cases. Makes for a hard ride. LonWon just swapped new springs and CEPEK shocks. You should watch his thread. I don't mind a hard ride but I don't crawl. My vehicle...
