    CV boots

    There was a thread talking about Ford Escort boots fitting our needs. I'll try to look later but I'm in office and surgery today. Maybe someone else might look it up? It's about rebuilding vs. replacing CV joints when they rupture IIRC. Best, T

    Fan not coming on at 220

    Understood RWH, and I don't disagree... My point is that this engine may no longer be reliable for long distances and may break down or be unreliable. A simple compression test will give many answers. RWH is essentially saying que sera sera... whatever will be will be. I agree. If your...

    Thanks Action... and yes, Action is 100% corrct. I believe you have placed your engine at risk erasedhammer. You need to ensure in is still good for use. 260 degrees radiator fluid, (and low radiator fluid), could easily translate into higher temperatures in the engine that can warp and damage...

    How to pull-start a HMMWV...

    Hey, either this is a hoax or not. I take things at face value. If it is a hoax, that's cool too. Ha ha. Given how screwy GM is, who the H-LL knows? I used to be able to start and drive my (or anyones) Saab 900TC and 9000T by bending a paper clip and shorting the typically unknown plug under...

    I would suggest getting the engine cylinders compression tested ASAP before any other significant drives. I would suggest an immediate high quality oil change IF the engine specs are OK. I would suggest a new engine if the specs are off. I would STRONGLY suggest a new radiator and I would...

    Depends... Is it a Volkswagen Bug from the 1960's?... Or is it a GM water cooled engine that will warp and rip up rings and such? :/

    Options for replacing cushions in M998

    What I should have said and what I meant was I respect the fact that you are a straight shooter, and you respect the items that you have reviewed, and use stand behind your review. My wife says worse, but at the end of the day there is no one more supportive than one's spouse.

    Options for replacing cushions in M998

    One is independent of the other... Sucky seats are sucky seats. If you feel HMMWV/M998 seats are sucky then trash them altogether. $600 a seat will buy amazing custom seats, seats and frames and bases and all. You can almost make custom Aluminum seats or fiberglass seats for the price if you...

    Options for replacing cushions in M998

    You might consider supporting local business and going to a local automobile interior shoppe. The seats are simple, and should not cost much to re-pad. Padding material comes in several different densities and can be mixed and matched. You can always ask for several pieces to be placed on top...

    no data plate

    EDIT - Every frame number can be shown to have a date of manufacture... Why not look at that. Engines are frequently swapped and rebuilt but a frame is a frame is a frame. While having a title that reads 1986 might be preferable, the frame indicates the true date of manufacture and is easy to...

    steelsoldiers' new HMMWV project... sort of!

    Looks like fun. Hope to see interesting upgrades and directions as you make this vehicle your own. Maybe we can all get some ideas. Might I make a small request?... Post the name and contacts to the suppliers for upgrade and repair items that you use so that the rest of us can easily emulate...

    Installing back up lights on the Humvee

    I don't know if site vendors have this in stock but fleaBay has them.

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    how much ground clearance do you lose? it seems as if those rock protectors will make you "high center" and get stuck.
