Is that 3-4 total or just pulling it?

Well everyone its a head gasket on the passenger side. a little surprised as this motor has less then 30k the one it replaced had 343,000. I sourced a used motor, it came out of a cucv also. How many hours should it take to pull old and put replacement in. nothing needs to be swaped off...

Greetings everyone Its been a while since I have been here, took the 09 off the road for about 2 years as I got struck with the humvee fever. Any way two months ago I put the 09 back on the road to do a 1400 mile road trip with it. I drove it about 1200 miles to get any bugs worked out before...

Hello everyone I’m going to throw this out there in case someone might be looking. I am currently furloughed from my job. If you are looking to get your humvee to another part of the country, I will drive it for $100 a day ,10 hours a day, plus expenses hotel, food, fuel and return air fare...

Im going to take your advice and do it that way. Thanks!! Never thought about the sway

I have a heavy duty tow dolly, is there any reason that I can’t back my blazer on it and tow the vehicle with the front wheels on ground. I’m lazy and don’t want to disconnect the rear drive shaft.

Happy 4th of July weekend. Does anyone have a make and model number of a tow bar that would hook directly to the lift points (minus the d rings) on a M1009, if one even exists. The military one is to big , heavy and expensive. Thanks Chuck

Not sure what I have going on. Motor was just put in truck. New injector pump. Has run great for over 2000 miles. Ran 69 miles to day. Parked for a couple of hours and it started funny but started. Driving down the road it surged a couple of times. Stopped at a restaurant it stalked like it...

Greetings everyone I forgot to post this on Thursday. I just did a 750 mile trip in my M1009 from Miami to Myrtle Beach. While here did a road trip to Lumberton NC to look at aHumvee. Heading back tomorrow. Just put a new motor in it a week before the trip. I got 21.98 mpg never went over...

I check the fuse and it was burnt replaced it nothing changed. Going to pull dash apart on Saturday and replace bulb. Any way to buy pass some of the wiring to get the alts to charge batteries

The light is not going on, how I missed that who knows. I must have a keen sense of the obvious. LOL What is next that I should look at. I really appreciate your help! Chuck

Got it working thanks. Can you think of any reason I cant get the alt to charge? I've pulled it 3 times and it bench tests fine. The batteries are new. I am not getting any voltage to the batteries. The gen light in truck is not lighting so I assume its sensing a good alt. Any ideas

Thanks for the reply. Nothing at the wiring harness is changed except the resisters on the fire wall were taken out and a jumper wire was put in. the batteries connections changed to make them put out 12 volts hooked in series I think. Nothing else changed. The belt on the drives side and...

Greetings everyone I am having a charging issues with my blazer. I just replaced the motor and am having issues with the alternator charging. The truck years ago was converted to the rosecommon modification, never had an issue charging. At first I thought a bad alt as I was not getting 14...

I have been looking at the growlers. I see some of the ones purchased have been released to the buyers. Does any one know if you are getting a clean SF-97 so you can register for road. I dont see a problem as they are just M151 with modifications. Thanks Chuck
