    Aftermarket hood grills

    Hi everyone, Looking for something cool to get the wife for Christmas for her HMMWV, gave her the truck last year lol. We've been through a lot in the past year with it and I have learned more than I ever cared to know about HMMWV's. None the less, she loves it and so do I, have put about...

    Hmmwv radiator 6.5 non turbo, best option

    No, it does seem to cool well and I’m happy with it. The operating temps are pretty much dictated by the thermostat, and the factory hydraulic fan clutch etc. Mine bumps between 220-230 once up to temp and the fan cycles regularly. I’ve thought about converting to the viscous clutch etc, but...

    Hmmwv radiator 6.5 non turbo, best option

    Installed the Champion radiator, the thing fit like a glove, all mounting holes were correct. It looks great, especially considering the $. Truck runs well, seems to take longer between fan cycles. Will see how it does in summer heat. With the money saved over an OE unit I replaced every...

    Hmmwv half doors, any cool patterns or designs out there?

    Had my slant back torn apart this weekend installing the turret and ran it around without the doors for awhile. The kids loved it, but I don't totally trust them with no doors. Thinking of grabbing a set of half doors for the summer. Anybody have a source for someone doing something with cool...

    Hmmwv radiator 6.5 non turbo, best option

    Was it a direct clean bolt in? Yea, seems like radiator shops are fading away into the past. All the ones that were near me have folded. Everything is throw away these days. I might keep the old one and see if it can be recored and have the tanks re soldered. But I do want to get a...

    Slantback roof insulation, what works best?

    Hello, Working on reinstalling the turret in my 1045. I have pretty much everything ready to go, parts are all freshly painted and all the little missing pieces have been sourced. The one thing left to decide on is insulation for the roof. There was a guy on the other forum reproducing the...

    O rings on power steering lines at box

    The return line was not a normal flare, it has the extended nipple that looks similar to the pressure line. I will examine closer. The box was a wet greasy mess. Thanks

    O rings on power steering lines at box

    Hi everyone, Changing out the steering box on my 1045. Someone before me decided not to tighten the pinch bolt on the coupler at the box so it trashed the steering shaft too, oh well another new part lol. Question is on the power steering lines where they attach to the box. I know the...

    Best source for quality portal hub seals

    Ordered fresh half shaft bolts from HPG too, will pull all the shafts while doing the hubs and will definitely check sealing surfaces to see how they look. We use speedi sleeves on the #6 drives on our go fast boat as the output shafts on those drives aren't stainless to handle the HP...

    Best source for quality portal hub seals

    Hello, Recently purchased a 1045a2 and have been going over everything on the truck maintenance wise. Getting ready to do the blue hummer hub nut kits and since I will have the hubs open I figure might as well do input and output seals. I have seen some wet around the input seals on a couple...
