    HMMWVs with water fording valve punched out

    Jeez ... what kind of goon would remove it that way? I would leave it and call it combat damage. Took a round of 20mm... Its part of the demil process. Water fording capability is a tactical advantage you dont want just anybody to have so they remove crucial components. Most commonly...

    Govplannet m1123 Barstow rebuild SF97 question

    I had the same problem with mine. "sells with a clean SF97" Cool. No place to add one. Cool, Cool. Dont want to add 150 for title so good to check out. Wait 6 months for EUC. Wait 30 days for SF97. Nothing. Called..."oh, you never requested one"... Paid the 50 bucks 5 months ago....nothing...

    Shudder at 40mph

    You seem to have tried a few logical tests to try to find the shudder. I would swap the boggers out with a different set in original size and see if the shudder changes or goes away. Just to be sure . Second thought comes from your removal of the driveshaft test. I had similar issues that were...

    Turn Signal Control Unit LED Bulb

    Thanks for this info. Im gonna give it a try. I wanted a brighter more noticeable bulb in there and I couldnt get the LED to work either because of the polarity issue.

    Insulated Softtop Feedback

    All the tops are insulated somewhat. I dont feel the heat radiating through to my head like my jeeps do. That arctic top has more and different insulation. I would like to try a white arctic top and curtain to see how much cooler it is compared to the stock camo top

    Good vendor for Humvee covers and doors going out of business

    More likely...what little commercial potential we may have would not have been worth dealing with our demands for a quality product.

    Good vendor for Humvee covers and doors going out of business

    Yeah, I looked into the breton closing for a few minutes. Says they are shuttered and building and equipment is for sale. Lots of 1 star reviews from former employees on glassdoor. My guess...the fat government contracts dried up and the whole mismanaged place imploded. All the stuff from them...

    I hate to say it, but if your finances are this tenuous, You might want to cut your losses and pay the default because a HMMWV is not a budget friendly acquisition.

    60 amp Generator/ Charging Question

    Start with the rubber fuel lines that run across the valley. To filter from lift pump...from filter to injection pump...and the fuel return on top of the injection pump.

    Temperature Gauge question

    Pipe dope is the way to go for the temp sender. It allows the threads to make metal to metal contact that a one wire sender needs to ground properly. The liquid pipe sealer fills in the voids in the threads sealing the assembly. Teflon tape more often than not will act as an insulator even...

    Temperature Gauge question

    I just installed a few sets of gauge and sender and fan switch and thermostat. Running some road tests today to verify fan engagement cycles and burnishing the rusty/dusty brake rotors. 78 degrees outside. Kinda daring the trucks to overheat. New gauges performed identically. Came alive promptly...

    Transfer case shifting

    While you are under there, cast your eye on the transmission mount assy looking for any damage that may be allowing the transfer case to shift around and change the alignment of the linkages

    License plate mounting?

    I put mine in the spot with the least amount of reasons not to put it there. Or like this for airlift bumper guys...

    Does this sound like a fuel issue

    Seems like the lift pump...most likely... Could also be air being sucked in from loose connections or deteriorated hoses. I believe you are only supposed to open that drain cock when the engine is running to clear out/check for water contamination. Ive changed out a fair amount of lift pumps on...
