@peapvp thank you for sharing that website! I used Python to scrape the site and download all the PDFs. Took about an hour or two to code and run. It looks like Issue 001, 164, and 804 are missing. The 800 back issues are about 22GB compressed. What is the best way to make these available to...

That REV truck was basically given to you free at that price. Both look like good trucks I would try to get them both running and go from there. Trade the REV to RWH before tearing it apart. I thought ECV started at serial number 250k and had 80 MPH speedometer, among other things? Look them...

Nevada, so mileage may vary, but State Farm had no issue insuring a hmmwv (or deuce). Our agent is more tenacious than average and got the 2008 hmmwv insured as a regular road vehicle without issue. They submitted pictures of the vehicle to underwriting but I was left with the impression it was...

Nice tires!

Congrats on the trailer!

Did you end up taking the armor overlay off for this job?

Thanks for the replies. Got it setup the OEM way with right mirror viewed through the windshield.

Thank you all for the recommendations!

I’m working on an 1151 slantback hatch. I have the correct seal. This hatch has the extra piece (armor?) on the top third of the hatch. Does that extra piece need to come off to install the new seal? If so how does one remove that top armor piece? All the fasteners are phillips head and several...

What is the best hmmwv mirror configuration for visibility? I’ve operated many vehicles and always use mirrors for backing up and road awareness. Especially backing a trailer, mirrors never lie. I have OEM mirrors with x doors and the mirror visibility when looking through the passenger x door...

Thanks for the feedback and diagrams. Initial attempt to recharge was not successful - the low side charge is showing ~100 psi, well into the red on the recharge bottle. PSI does not change with engine on or off and the compressor is not engaging. Not seeing any voltage on wires 7 or 436...

With summer rolling around it’s time to get the A/C working. This is an 1152 ECV truck. Is there a TM that outlines the full circuitry and troubleshooting steps? So far I know the heater works, hi low fan works (albeit inversed, low is hi and hi is low). The only feedback I get from A/C...

That puts it to rest! Great work identifying this bumper @Wildland, @NDT, and others. Are any of these trucks even in civilian hands? What would you do if you bid on three of these?

Thanks for the discussion! To be fair I was wondering the same if it will fit / bolt on to hmmwv. GP listed it under hmmwv parts, not that that means much. @Guyfang it looks like there is a tag with NSN / info on it but not readable. Trying to get more info and will report back if I get the...

Does anyone know what this bumper is or have pictures of one on a truck?

Agreed it is an interference engine and timing issues generally cause damage. Reading other 6.5 diesel forums, some claim to get away unscathed after a broken chain. Maybe it is denial, bargaining, and outright coping - but I think my next step will be pulling the chain cover to assess what...

Thank you both for the info. Big yikes and very disappointing. Is there anything worth analyzing before throwing in the towel and writing off the entire motor? What would have caused this in the first place? Thank you!

Hello! The latest surprise is at the front of the oil pan near the crankshaft. There is a large crack in the pan and it looks like there are two chains inside. Recently changed the oil, the dipstick continues to show full, and it does not actively drip oil when stationary or cranking. The truck...

Thank you all for the great wealth of info on Steel Soldiers! Very great site and hope to contribute. I recently received a new to me M1151A1 hmmwv with serial number less than 300k. I have read many TMs, watched videos, read the forums, etc. I added 5 gallons of new diesel, it started for a...
