    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thanks... Yes my nuts are the two tab style and I didn't see any cracks in the washer. I do like the idea of breaking off the tabs... I may save any old ones and break off the used tabs. May get you by in a pinch. assuming you use them on a different hub. Anyway I did take the truck out for a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    True but in the context of the spindle nut I would think people would know what washer I am talking about. I could call it what the parts TM says, Washer, key and I am sure people would be all like Whisky Tango Foxtrout

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I was thinking. Yes I know we are not supposed to do that but, What is the reason not to reuse your star washer. I would assume that you would not want to bent the same tabs more than once. Since the nut wasn't tight and upside down I went and installed and torque the nut. I wanted to see if the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    No... I need a new star lock washer and I JUST place an order BEFORE I found the loose nut. I am a cheap bastard and hate to pay shipping twice. They also had the nut on backwards and there was a huge burr on the threads... the nut wasn't going to seat. Also having a heck of the time trying...

    Hot & Cold air simultaneously from fron A/C vents

    I used the one from rock auto on my M997A2 and it work fine. It looks just like what was replaced. You can use this on the A/C trucks but will need to install the cable. All the mounting holes are there except for the data plate... a drill will fix that.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    I remember how I felt when I "accidently" won mine... Non runner and what not. I saw a turret cap sitting in a garbage pile at the local armory... I wanted to stop and ask someone if it was trash but never did. I enjoy driving the LMTV better than the HMMWV... Also LMTV people are a little...
