    Can the Gov't confiscate a vehicle after the sale? Putting that fear mongering to bed

    Yes! They placed a super-reflective device on the Moon to allow accurate distance measurements with some type of laser measuring tool. With the correct laser pointer telescope you can make it light up. I'm tired of all the conspiracy lunatics who say we were never there. Buzz Aldrin kicked some...

    Tire wear question

    Seems to me that these vehicles were shimmed when they were heavy with military equipment. Now they are demilitarized so they sit higher and the wheels need to be re-shimmed. Mine has the same issue with the ass end wheels. Seems understandable and easy to fix. MHO T

    M998 HMMWV Frozen Tailgate Hinges

    Remove them and wash away the oil and then try 2-3 minutes in DILUTED plumbers acid? Not more than 3 minutes as it will DESTROY the Aluminum.

    Can the Gov't confiscate a vehicle after the sale? Putting that fear mongering to bed

    Government confiscates tons of my money yearly, every April. Enough is enough. They ain't gettin' my Slantback!

    6.2/6.5l Turbo kits

    I just called the gentleman in charge and spoke at length with him. I got permission to post our conversation. Unit is not yet ready for sale...still in manufacturing development awaiting final exhaust manifold casting production. He wants solid exhaust to support heavy turbo unit, not a welded...

    6.2/6.5l Turbo kits

    To swap in a 6.5 would be 2-3k plus lifting the vehicle and changing the doghouse. To swap in a set of 6.5 heads and turbo setup with oil pump and such would cost 1-2K. I'm working on something similar to the head swap, but the HUMMV is a PIA to find space for the turbo unit itself. Perhaps a...

    What size/dimensions with thread count/ are our lug nuts on the wheels?

    Nice alternative. I will consider them BUT I'm still on a search for the lug nut dimensions. I like your idea though. T

    What size/dimensions with thread count/ are our lug nuts on the wheels?

    I want to change to "closed end" wheel lug nuts in order to reduce corrosion and "frozen lug nut" issues. I live by the Atlantic Ocean, and oil and anti-seize require periodic re-application. What dimension lug nuts do we use on our HMMWV's? TIA T EDIT - I have searched acorn nut, lug nut...

    Speed Test - M998 Non-Turbo 6.2L only

    They are Forrest Gump slow. I have one. I'm throwing in 2.58 gears. I'm also getting my mechanic to tweek the injector pump. Then I'm gonna get Nicholas Hoult to blow gasoline into the intake whenever I need to accelerate.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I washed off racoon poo. Seriously. Hood soiled on the passenger's side. High pressure jet took care of the scat. Then I came up with a plan... I covered the car inside and out with ground chili pepper. Then I waited. The masked villain returned, climbed back on the hood took a few sniffs...

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Perhaps I misunderstood BUT the OP said he was issued a warning "with three violations". The term "violations" to me sounded like a summons was issued. A warning ain't nothin'. Sorry for not understanding your terminology. Ciao

    Part # for 88 humvee fuel pump

    I remember an old post, maybe by Retired War Horses [RWH]. IIRC, if the tank is full and you lose pressure at half full, the pump is bad and gravity is feeding the injection pump. You therefre might be correct in your feeling. Best, T

    Maryland State Inspection- HMMWV registered as an AM General Pickup

    Get a lawyer... expensive but necessary. Don't let this issue follow you around. We can all give advice, but you need an educated voice to verbalize your side of the story, IMHO. DON'T "F---" WITH THIS! Take a deep breath and then pay a professional to extricate you from the grasp of local laws...

    HMMWV Battery replacements

    Anyone use Odyssey batteries? Solid state, able to discharge and be recharged as also used on motorized wheelchairs. 1200 cranking amps warm, 600 cold. I have used in other cars but never a Diesel. Never an issue in cars. They cost $$$ but NEVER had a battery issue after installed in...

    Just another hmmwv build thread.

    The Front-end-loader comes in the original boxed kit Juan. You should'a bought "New Old Stock" still-in-the-box.

    Part # for 88 humvee fuel pump

    Are you sure it is a fuel pump issue and not an injection pump or injector issue? Did you run to empty and get air in the system? Just wondering.

    How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it. TOBASH

    CWC, your initial post was really awesome! Thanks! As mentioned above: I am having trouble figuring out where the glow plug activation and glow plug light functionality are located. I gotta use glowplugs and I would like to use the light. What needs to be done? Which wires are we talking about?

    How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it. TOBASH

    I'm still a little confused as to where the glowpug power comes from and where to place the wires/switch/button/bypass. I'm planning on taking a dead PCB and making sure relays work and bypassing the integrated circuit board. I will run wires out of the PCB via a watertight connection. Yes...
