    HMMWV 6.5 Lift Pump Life

    I think lift pump can fail and put more stress on your injection pump.

    Humvee down! Major stuck off road (video)

    Scary stuff… something that you wouldn’t want to do alone. I don’t think you could survive more than a few days. I’m pretty impressed by the yota and Rover. Nice outing

    HMMWV 6.5 Lift Pump Life

    I have a m1165 that had 83 miles since 2014 reset and it needed a lift pump. I believe it failed and put fuel into my oil. After taking it off it was like auto parts store item that Melton uses. The new pump that I got from HPG was heavy duty and had zero travel in it. My m1123 had 132 miles on...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I’m not a big fan of bed liner but I would be tempted to spray the back with Line-X or something equal. I see trucks at auction and they are all rusted from the armor. Maybe POR15 would be good for the back also.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    My non-runner had a really bad oil leak from auction pics. I changed the o-rings on the oil filter adapter because it looked like it was coming from there. When I changed the oil I put dye in it so I could find any other leaks. After I replaced the IP I let in run for a few hours off and on and...

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    Yes, we have twins. I seen maybe 10 trucks like ours at auction. I like the roof better and I prefer the truck over the modern slant back.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    This is how much fees are paid you have to pay sales tax. Some people won’t have to pay taxes but I did even though my state doesn’t collect taxes on military vehicles

    Two silly oil change questions...

    I like to put oil in the oil filter. I put 12 to 14 ounces in the filter and let it sit overnight and I didn’t spill a drop. I have done 3 oil changes on my 2 trucks and first time was a mess. I used a garage tote for the 2nd and 3rd and it was better. Drain pan in slight wind had a small stream...

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    That’s what I liked about my M1165. It never had armor.

    Pawn Stars look at a HMMWV

    I took my nephew to the store and it was nothing but Chummley mugs and t-shirts… I met the old man in Walgreens and he was taller and thinner. I met chummley when he was going to his attorneys office and he was talking about his pizza oven… I’m so not interested in pawn stars but I’m glad they...

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    I think we have the most desirable trucks…. I love my M1165 and I don’t see any for sale

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    I would rather take my chances at auction rather than a truck from someone else. I have bought 2 trucks one running and one not. Runner I replaced 2 serpentine belts and changed fluids and thermostat. My running M1123 has been perfect and I did change fuel gauge and sending unit. My non running...

    I think my head gasket failed

    I would imagine they would have better clamping force and they are reusable. If you ever decided down the road to turbo it. Might be a good selling point for the next buyer that might want a turbo. I don’t like bolts you can’t reuse.

    I think my head gasket failed

    Might be a good time to do headstuds?

    Shaking above 65MPH

    My mt’s from 2002 were new but cracked. They rode perfectly. I had a blowout and put on a tire from my m1165 that were new and 2014 and that one tire will bounce from 40 to 45 and get smooth. I don’t even know how that’s possible

    Are all good trucks gone?

    Lift it and put 40” tires on it! Problem solved

    HMMWV Fuel Lift Pump

    Plate has to come off. You need to have no more than 1/2” of rod sticking out of the block. I ordered my pump and gasket from HPG. There is a difference in both. I put grease on my rod lol and put it in the freezer overnight and that gave me plenty of work time for my limited abilities. I have...

    Hmmwv starting issues

    Camo FaceTimed me when I was having ip problems. I never could have received that kind of help from words. He was able to see what I was seeing and I was able to do what he suggested real-time. I agree with your forum statement but sometimes a video call is worth a 1,000 words. You can still...
