    Anyone running 42" tires on 17" aftermarket wheels ? If so I need your help...

    Since this thread is about non-military wheels and tires I'll throw this out there. If any of you are on a budget or have a knack for finding things for a good price this may work for you. The silver wheel pictured is a 2003-2013 Dodge 2500 17" factory wheel. I gave a $100 for all four. I am...

    Humvee 6.5 seized--best way to free it up?

    Besides the advice on the starter above I don't see what it would hurt to put a breaker bar on the crankshaft damper bolt and see what happens. I play with old tractors a lot and if you can get it moving by hand normally you should be good to go.

    Humvee audio systems: What have you added / done to your rig ?

    Not trying to highjack this thread but Joe can you take some pics of the Velcro seal you did. I drove my truck the other day on a test drive with the hood off and I swear it was not as noisy with the hood on.

    On the 12 bolts I had the holes, which are about 1/2 inch, just line up. One hole on each half. I bought new orings and used oring lube on them. No leaks.

    Hyd fan clutch replacement

    Took another test drive just now. The engine stays at 180 anywhere from 45mph on down. I have a 160 degree thermostat. Ran it for about 2 or 3 miles at 50 and it settled out at 185. I have a three speed turbo 400. Ran it thru town, stop and go type driving and it came down to 180 again. Let it...

    DIY Tire Balancing

    The balancer adapters posted above make things a little clearer now. I was right there at the balancer with the shop owner and another employee and the conventional adapters just don't fit the HMMWV wheels well. It's almost impossible to get it right. The wheels look bent when spinning. They...

    Hyd fan clutch replacement

    The metric double ended studs finally showed up so I put it all together today. I modified my pulley just like Ken did. I also pulled my hood and cooler stack. Not a bad job at all. The only issue I am going to address is the fan size. The 20 inch is tight, real tight. If you got this thing...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks good. I ran those Guard Dogs for a while before I went to 17 inch wheels. I really liked them. I ran them with no beadlocks on 12 bolts.

    We have around two weeks of winter here, two days at a time. Not going to be much of a problem.
