    GP Fee Increase

    Oops, I pulled it from my spam folder and I did not catch the date! I don't bid on any big items nowadays as very little comes out of La and seems all the action close to me is at Mobile.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    Plastic tank aluminum radiators have been standard for 25 years plus. I would think any modern "approved" name brand anti freeze will be fine in our hmmwv's that is Plain old green regular formula will do the job. Don't get fixated on long life, extended drain interval, fancy this or that etc...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    not sure what mac charges but it is a common civy trucking lens and truck pro or napa might be cheaper. This lens has been used for 20+ years.... Same as all mv's for many years and models also just not hmmwv.

    Anything special about bleeding rear breaks ?

    Back up several times and hit the brakes. That should make the pistons screw out to the correct depth.

    How many HMMWVs are still in the pipeline to be auctioned?

    I remember the fields at Red River full of them 5-6 years ago. There was so much stuff there parked on roads and the back areas it was insane. 80% of what I saw was soft skinned. It all was scrapped in the GL days with no culling of parts/anything allowed. Total destruction and new Budweiser...

    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    400 amp uses their own set of brackets different than the 200. As stated very heavy (like you are not going to install it by your self with out an overhead winch) and makes the engine compartment very tight. Epay sometimes has the 400 amp brackets. Make sure you are looking at the correct...

    Is it the end of the world? Latest GP auction prices.

    and we will see more Army trucks leaking out......Be patient and things will normalize when those start to flood the market then slowly creep up as the supply dries up again like with the m35's and m939's. All about supply and demand.

    hmmwv demil code changed

    Just curious as I do not know specifics but I thought all unarmored hmmwv's were ok to sell? Or is just the USMC that did their own thing with the later models. What models will be realeased? Is this Army, USAF, and USN units?

    Anyone in New Jersey want 2 cheap M103 trailers?

    Nothing to cage, no brake chambers. At most just open drain petcock on air tank to drain.

    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    So what is it that causes so many of these to stick? Rust due to water? Seems like threads if sealed with pipe thread compound would be ok. Does the oe nor military goop plugs?

    Bought used M1102 trailer, (was) missing serial or VIN.

    You can always purchase a nos data plate and stamp it or have one made

    Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

    Make sure batteries are fully charged and load test each one before any troubleshooting.

    Guess what it sold for at auction!

    If you saw the prices for the very first M998's that sold when they were allowed again in the $30-40K range. Not slantbacks nor X doors. Just plain Jane ... but those folks wanted to be the first to own one after the USMC units had leaked out 10 years earlier.
