I've got to agree on that pricing. I've been shopping for two front doors and I keep seeing snotty, beaten up doors all over fleabay and a couple of used part locations for anywhere from $60-150 for nothing that looks all that great. Paying $50 more than that for a brand-new part that will...

And approved! Purchased: 9 Nov 2016 EUC Sent: 9 Nov 2016 EUC Submitted: 18 Nov 2016 DLA Letter: 26 Dec 2016 Approval Notice: 3 Jan 2017 Picked up: **** soon

Either that, or what I just edited in above. Whichever way it happens, it's pretty evident that they have a system of fees setup that covers what happens if you are unable to or will not go collect your item, and in all cases, if you absolutely had to be assessed one of these fees, you're...

A claim I now can't back up. I had sworn that I had read that in in some official paperwork that if your EUC was denied and you could not collect your item, you would be refunded to price of the item-less a certain percentage for what I'm calling a "restocking fee"- and it is then relisted for...

Alright, time for some concrete numbers. I found the brochure easily for the N-1602, but couldn't find one for any of the 200A dual voltage models, so I just grabbed up one for the 140A and 260A units to just get an idea of what kind of numbers to expect. Check out these torque curves: As...

If you're worried about getting kicked back on an EUC, the trick is to buy something cheap and useful to you that requires an EUC first. Something like a trailer that costs less than $1,000. That way if you are rejected, the restocking fee is very small compared to what it would be for a...

Anything at least pseudo quantitative on how much extra strain/power loss it will be? I couldn't find a spec on how much the 200 amp alternator weighed to be able to make a good guess. As well, has anyone on here driven both a HMMWV with a 200A and one with a 400A? Definitely would value that...

Hey all, I know my A1 is going to be coming in with a weaker 60 Amp unit and it looks like it's missing parts, so I'm shopping alternators at the moment just in case it's truly DOA. I know that the 200 Amp dual voltage alt is the defacto go-to on these boards. It looks likes it's relatively...

Significant reliability improvements across the board with the GEP. The most notable thing I can think of that they have made multiple changes to prevent the block from cracking and resulting in engine failure. If I had a GM 6.5 and it failed, I wouldn't even look at another GM unless it was...

Just had an email this morning from GovPlanet that had me all excited. It's about 6 weeks in from EUC submission and they sent me this email: Now, I had to politely tell them that I already sent it in and provided the reference number for it and they acknowledged that they did, in-fact...

To add to the "I'm a hard-ass" brigade, it was -2 a couple morning ago and I walked my girlfriend out to her car in my t-shirt, gym shorts, and flip-flops. The walk there was nice, but the walk back was more like a hurried waddle that ended with me rushing to the coffee pot and then reaching...

I agree with all of the above. All of the common issues I read for hard start/no start conditions are tied to bad glowplugs, damaged start box, or poor grounds. In your case with the batteries also registering low, I'd make sure you get those charged up properly and tested to make sure they're...

I'm with the rest of the group and think that buying an A2 harness just to cut off the parts you don't need is kinda crazy; however, I'm of the camp that thinks it's wise to buy the wire and new connectors to build a second harness to route and add-in the 4L80E and military TCM. I'm personally...

I know it'd be a pretty decent overhaul. I'm not an expert on it, but what I've read so far shows that a substantial amount of the internals are different. To start, it's designed to have a 2WD position. Part of how it accomodates that is by having a smaller drive chain.

Only problem with that is it's not going to be legal in many states. If it's not registered and insured, you can't have wheels touching the public roadway. I believe many bases also have policies against their surplus vehicles rolling out of the base, although I'm not entirely sure if this is...

I definitely want some of these in the future. Don't know when I can do it, but I'll do it at some point!

I can honestly say that I had the same feeling once I saw that there was that "all Humvee auction" a couple weeks ago with 400+ HMMWVs at the same time. Of course, that feeling was proven to not be justified...

Here in Indiana, I just got mine at auction missing a transmission, TC, and an S3/PCB for $5k. Everything running at auction went for 8-9k. Until the auction a couple weeks ago when I bought mine, there hasn't been any Indiana HMMWVs for about 6 months, so I wasn't surprised that the running...

Exactly why I'm on here asking what the differences are. I want to keep it pretty close to spec, but I also acknowledge that this is going to be both for fun and as a utility vehicle for me that I'm going to use, things will break, and I'll have to repair it back up to good, working order. So...

That's your problem. Took a minute to find it, but those Autolite 1108s are a 12v plug. I've heard over and over, people recommending the Wellman plugs (same as military?). Do a quick search for "Wellman 24v glow plugs" and you'll see lots of vendors listing these-I'm sure all of the usual...
