    M1152 to slantback with hardtop conversion questions.

    I just finally was able to get a parts unit M1167 with hardtop and slantback. Has anyone converted a M1152 to a slantback? It can't be much harder than installing a soft top kit. Just remove the parts off the m1167 and swap. Once I get the M1167 I'll be selling whatever I don't need in...

    Hmmwv's in Capac, MI.

    Thought I'd share some pictures of when I was in Capac today picking up a few meps. The yard manager said they all came from Michigan reserves. Pretty beat up! Surprising that all in the rows were runners.

    Picked up 804a and 802a today and looking for advise.

    Picked up two units in Capac, MI. The 804a is a runner the 802a was sold as not running. After getting the 802a home and taking a closer look, its missing the fuel stop solenoid and I'm trying to figure out what else is missing in the picture. At $627 out the door with fees, is it worth it to...

    1985 M1028 Diesel gauge

    I was taking my dash apart and forgot to disconnect the battery and something sparked behind the volt gauge and now my diesel gauge goes all the way past full and doesn't register correctly. I have read there was a resistor on the back of these gauges could I have burnt the resistor? Also broke...

    M1028 aftermarket radio install.

    Using the ignition feed and constant 12 volt power from my fuse panel under dash I can get radio to turn on, but nothing from speakers. If I hook up my radio shack 12 volt power supply to radio in truck it works perfect. I have 12.4 volts at ignition and 12 volt constant in fuse panel. I'm...

    Dashes Direct final install pics.

    I thought I'd fill in the group on the dashes direct replacement dash. If I did it again, I'd pay the extra to find a good used dash! It does fit good, but too much trimming to make it fit. It's at least better than the one the Marines drilled multiple holes in!

    Amgeneral direct parts.

    Anyone have issues ordering from amgeneral? I've ordered tons at the beginning of the year and no issues. Shipped fast. Now I have an order that says it was placed, but not shipped now for 3 weeks. Calling the amgeneral parts phone number gives me a ladies voice mail that's full. I've called a...

    M1028 and Rough Country 6" lift with add a leaf problem

    Rough country is trying to tell me I can fit this add a leaf in. I don't see anywhere that it can go. It's smaller than the top leaf, but if I pull it in, the u bolts on both ends will not be big enough. Any advice? Thanks.

    M1152 400 Amp alternator voltage jumping.

    On my 2006 M1152 after starting for the first time, the voltage will surge up and down, but after about a minute it will stabilize. Could the voltage regulator be going bad possibly? Batterys are fully charged.

    Installed new batteries in my m1028. Question about headlights.

    Shouldn't the headlights and turn signals work even if key isn't in ignition? I still have to change ignition key lock because I didn't get a key with the truck, so I couldn't move forward to see if it makes a difference.

    M1028 plug and air tank in bed.

    Is this plug missing something? The switch in my hand leads back to an air tank in bed. But no compressor. Looks like it was filled through a Schrader on top. Anyone see this before? Thanks for any help.

    Finally delivered M1028. Few questions.

    Finally received my CUCV from Albany, Ga. Are these 16.5 rims or did they fit 16.5 tires on 16" rims. Rears are humvee wheels. But these fronts look like factory cucv wheels.

    M1152 Hardtop install?

    My m1152 has hardtop windshield mounts, and I'm looking at installing factory hardtop no turret as in picture. I have done searches for hmmwv hardtop c pillar but can't find any info other than slantback hardtop mounts. Anyone have a part number for a hardtop c pillar without slantback? Or do...

    M1152 Just delivered but no power steering or brakes. Brake light on.

    My 1152 was just dropped off by shipper and faint power steering once in a while and no brakes. There is a whine coming from pump. Fluid is filled on reservoir. Brake light is on. Would a clogged filter in the power steering reservoir cause this symptom or does it sound like bad pump? It's...

    My new m1152 in route.

    Finally on it's way to Indiana from Yermo. If anyone needs transport, I have a great shipper that I deal with direct no broker. Msg me if anyone needs a transport. He's transported both my humvees and has been great and cheap!

    2006 M1152 Speedometer question.

    My new M1152 has a mechanical speedometer installed. I thought all M1152's had the electric 80mph speedo's installed. Was this an upgrade done later on? I have found the kit for the whole setup, part number 57k4882. And has anyone tried the Oshkosh LVS speedo, I looks the identical.

    Injection pump round #2

    Finally installed rebuilt IP and what a difference in the way it runs. You can actually talk at idle to passengers. The only issue I have is that at idle the muffler shield rattles like crazy. Could the idle be too low now? Or is it normal for a little rattling? What is normal idle rpm?

    D/F marked on hood.

    I searched previous threads and found drained fuel or drained fluids. Has anyone picked up a humvee lately that had this writing on the hood and tell me what me what they found. My new 1152 shows running in videos with oil pressure at 60, but I hope it wasn't ran with no fluids! The fuel guage...

    Its not the end of the world. Got a decent deal on a 2007 1152!

    Watching the auctions today and Humvee's seemed to be going for a decent price. Ended up with a 3,000 mile running 2007 1152 for 8800. Now for the EUC waiting game once again!
