Okay, this is probably controversial, but since this is the suggestion forum, I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. The For sale section, specifically the Parts for Sale section is overrun by just a few posters spamming multiple for sale threads. When a poster has many separate listings for...

Hi all, I was troubleshooting my parking brake warning light late last night, and disconnected the parking brake warning switch under my HMMWV. Like all HMMWV's it has those single wire waterproof electrical connectors. When I pulled one apart a small brass looking c-washer fell out and...

Hi all. I want to swap a nicer tailgate from a junker HMMWV to my running M1114. Both trucks have similar tailgates with hinges bolted to the frame. Two of the bolts and nuts on each side are easy to access. The third's nut is covered by body a bushing and blocked by angled metal. Feeling...

Does anyone know where the engine ground is on turbo 6.5's? I'm at work and have been pouring over the TM's with no luck. When I remove the doghouse, all I see is turbo stuff.

Forgive the new thread. I'm sure there's an old one somewhere but a search of any type here keeps removing the word "oil" as it's too common of a word. The TM for my truck states regular 30 weight dino oil will work, but 15w-40 seems much more common and may be a better alternative. I've...

My minty fresh surplus M1114's transmission control module is not secured to the floor. Am I missing a mounting bracket for it? When I bought the truck it was also missing the rear passenger seat that goes over it, so obviously things were taken from this area. I've scowered the TM's for any...

Hi all. Long time member but I sold my M35A2 a couple years ago when I moved cross country. I just picked up my latest toy last week. It's a M1114 and of course it was stripped before auction. I've scowered the TM's and found most of the parts it's missing but these wires have me stumped. Does...

Need a pick up of a delidded M1114 HMMWV after my EUC clears. Doesn't run but there is assistance with loading at the site. I need it shipped from Albany Georgia to west of Gainesville, FL. Anyone interested?

Hi all, I currently own a deuce and have a class-A CDL. I obtained my CDL mainly to get a 5-ton or larger truck later. Here's my question, do 5-tons and larger ex-military trucks need to stop at weigh stations? If I registered it as a historical vehicle, would it be exempt? I haven't seen...

Hi all, I've been searching for a long time trying to locate an M101A1 lunette nut. The one on my dad's trailer is pretty much destroyed. Clearly the nut wasn't removed in the 40 years the trailer has been in use. Any suggestions on where to buy a replacement? I was reading online that the...

My cab heater needs some work and I can't seem to find the proper manual that covers the installation and use of the heater. Does anyone know which manual covers the cab heater? The heater unit under the hood seems to be missing some screws. The screw holes are located around the top on sides...

My trailer light plug is very difficult to plug into the deuce. It's so hard that it's nearly impossible to plug in. What kind of lube can I use to make this easier? I don't want to risk shorting out the connections. Any suggestions?

My M35A2 was sold though GL and came with a canvas troop cover and only one end curtain. It didn't have an end curtain at the back by the tailgate. Tjmilitary was kind enough to sell me a set of NOS end curtains for my truck. I can mount one curtain using the original rope from the one old...

This site really needs a General Discussions forum. As pointed out in this thread, the Conversations forum is to be used for MV discussions only. It would be extremely handy to have one forum dedicated to off topic posts, general discussions and friendly chatting not related to military...

Moved from this thread... At first I wasn't too concerned. I figured maybe it needs a rear main seal and would get around to fixing it later. Now I'm concerned that the clutch may be contaminated with motor oil, or that gear oil and motor oil are mixing somewhere in the truck. I assume that...

I wound up giving my deuce a seriously long workout yesterday. It got a nice long drive of about 200 miles round trip when I went to pick up an M105A2 trailer that was for sale on Craigslist. The darnedest thing happened on the way home. When I was about 30 miles from home one of the dash bulbs...

After fighting with my driver's side wiper motor, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I bit the bullet and ordered one new metal wiper motor to replace one of the junk plastic ones that came with the truck. The final straw was having the plastic triangle handle snap off in my hand while...

M105a2c? I was looking at M105 trailers today and found one that was labeled as an M105C. Never heard of the "C" version trailer before. What is the difference between an A and C version. It didn't look any different than the M105A, but it must be somewhat different given the different...

Simple question from a painting noob. How is camo applied? Is it done freehand or are the various colors taped off to keep over spray to a minimum? Also, do they spray it on, or is it painted with a brush?

I know the turbo in my M35A2 is not a "C" whistler turbo. It does start to whistle when the engine is running at over 2000RPM. Is this a "D" turbo, or do I have one of those oddball LDS turbos? I've searched and read the other threads here, but still haven't been able to determine what I have so...
