    WD40 paint refresh

    That was my experience when I was in 15 years ago. We were going to use diesel fuel before a battalion commanders inspection to freshen up the look. The motor pool SNCOIC, was very quick to remind everyone that doing so was unauthorized. I'd guess it's no different now. Then again, we did use...

    No shortage of M998s for GP/IP

    Reminds me of a line from Kevin Nealon in the movie Joe Dirt. "We're running a business, not a charity. Maybe if UNICEF gets into the auction business, you can buy a truck for $1200, but it ain't gonna be a humvee"

    $25 Mudflap Install

    Looks good, but they don't appear to offer enough protection for keeping debris from being kicked up. I believe that most states require 6-8" from the ground or enough protection to keep degree from being thrown back at a certain predetermined angle. I suppose it's better than nothing at all...

    original paint scheme HMMWV M998 Tan

    This is all AM General Imagery. I'm seeing black undercarriages and tan sling loops on the hood. I imagine that things can't be that far off for delivery to the .mil:

    original paint scheme HMMWV M998 Tan

    Maybe that is dependent on the location? I'm aware of more than several M1152's here on the east coast for instance that were obviously green at one time, but are very much tan in and out now. They've got event worse paint jobs as anything I've ever seen coming out of the auctions too.

    Slant back rubber seals

    I've never seen a gasket between the roof and sponsons besides the hatch gasket that is attached to the circumference of the hatch itself. Of every hard top truck I've taken apart or looked at, that space has been filled with goop (silicone type substance). As for keeping it air and water tight...

    Govplanet m1038 engine question

    While it's possible the tranny was upgraded as well, I wouldn't count on it.

    When does the turbo engine make its 1st appearance?

    Whoops, you're right. Like you looked up, it says 1996 - but I've never seen one during my time in service (96-00). The first time I ever saw one was in the 2000-2001 timeframe.

    When does the turbo engine make its 1st appearance?

    I wouldn't count on it anytime soon, but I suppose we could be surprised.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Ha! You have more than me anyway - speaking of which, I'll need to get some grab rails from you. I originally had no intention of getting them, but then the running boards kinda fell in my lap.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I added a fording intake and exhaust to the truck along with a tube brushgaurd. It's not the full fording kit, but gives me the look of a Marine truck. I've since blasted and refinished the brushguard. I then figured out that my wife's Cricut is able to print out convincing lettering for a...

    Long cable coming out top left rear of transfer case, what is it?

    RWH - are the cables specific to certain speedometers (65mph versus 80mph) or do they work with either/or?

    Humvee wont move!!

    The lack of fluid because of your leak might have something to do with that. You don't even know what parts, if any, need to be replaced. Fix the leak.

    Humvee wont move!!

    Well, if you're losing a gallon or more of trans fluid, I think you're highest priority is getting the leak addressed before you even worry about moving it.
