    Tire talk

    Has to be listed on the sidewall and the tire sticker of a new tire. Commonly listed on the manufacturer's website/catalog.

    Tire talk

    that is expressed in the ratings. the higher the number, the harder the rubber and lasts longer hence more mileage. Tires are rated for example 500/A/A The letter grades are temperature and traction.

    Purchased a 2006 Humvee M1097R1 - Need Help

    I recently previewed over 100 m1097's from Red River and it is a truly a salad bowl of what you will get I saw R1, A2 etc. Most appear to have been turned in and just sat. Not heavily cannibalized like USMC units. Most even had almost complete sets of BII. Will be interesting if all the goodies...

    Is your gearwrench an original made by ken tool? If so they are lifetime warranty.

    Sorry...Another M101a1 wheels/tire question

    If you can find STA super lugs reasonable; they are better than the ndts. I have a trailer with some deep cracks but don't sweat it as they are 16 ply and tough as nails. Look nasty but run cool. Just made a 400 mile trip monday on my 60's m116 variant. I do carry a spare with a new tube and...

    LA Humvee Insurance

    I would check with state farm. La is different than the other 49 states with our laws. State farm does both my m923 & m998 as classic. What year is yours? Daily driver? Where are you? I have some stuff for sale.....

    Tire talk

    I don't think the majority of us need to be concerned with load ratings as D is plenty adequate. We do not have the weight of armour and loaded to the gills with gear & occupants to contend with. If you have a shelter, ambo, or maint body, then yes that can be a reason to stick with E. Another...

    Tire talk

    YMMV, I would use an older BFG Baja with confidence over any flavor of goodyears. The vast majority of auction trucks with flat tires or blow outs are goodyears. I just previewed over 100 m1097's of all flavors yesterday in Mobile ( all trucked in from Red River BTW ) and did not see one flat...

    Latest M1167 purchase. Too far gone? Or should I rebuild.

    Is Wolfer an AMD dealer or is China.com already making geared drives also?

    Hood Markings

    Just a guess but maybe means exercise and specifically loaded for that mission?

    Optima battery install questions

    There is a specific optima battery spacer plate to fit the military 6tl battery footprint. On epay and some suppliers for stupid money for a chunk of plastic.

    Tire/Wheel Covers.

    My thought is that I 2x's a year spray the tires with tire protection. Sold everywhere but read the labels to see what you are getting. I don't care about the shiny thing but want the chemical to protect to be absorbed. Does it work? I have no clue but it can't hurt and does not kill the bank.......

    M103A3 Powerplant trailer

    If you part it out, then you can also make some $ & scrap the frame. Lights,pigtail, harness,jack, chains, Hoses. singles with tubeless rims are easy to sell

    5/8" Ballistic Windshield - Impulse Buy turns Cluster #$@&

    @Action has posted in the past that he provides a service to de-laminate the plastic layer off if that allows you to flip the glass and use them both sides. It will also save you headaches down the road when they turn cloudy. You will not have the safety layer but do you expect to be shot at?

    M101 NOS trailer cover

    One easy mod is to use rubber rope on all the grommets in a continuous loop like the cargo covers on military trucks to avoid the sag.

    Calipers Stuck

    symptoms you describe would cause me to first bleed all 4 ports in correct sequence and confirm you are getting fluid flowing out then trouble shoot from there. Sounds to me like a master cyl internally bypassing or proportioning/equalizing block problem. One caliper can be sticking but would...

    M1082 Spring brake valve leaking air...is it rebuildable

    These are common air brake parts by Haldex and will be around for a while. X in the part number is rebuilt; without the X , it is a new product.
