    Fuel bleeding

    The check valves are before the lift pump in the fuel feed and there is no cost to deleting them, other than a few inches of fuel tube from the parts store and some clamps. That's where I would start if I were you before replacing the lift pump IF you've always had this problem. Otherwise, I...

    M1045 stowage strap kit

    Ok, turns out I have 3 of the 4 straps. I will give those to you. They are a little rough. It includes the buckles and the hooks so you can see how it's setup. But if you want the hooks and cross bar for the lift gate I will have to sell you those because I will have to take it off my spare...

    Fuel bleeding

    I would suggest removing the check valves at the right rear of the truck near the fuel tank. I would do that before any other troubleshooting. It worked for me and I hope it works for you.

    REV truck?

    Youre right. It looks like an A2 Truck Roof. The A2 Trucks have a steel roof. This is a 1045A2 truck with the steel roof. The truck in the post above this one is the under roof from the armor roof. At one time, In Cali, Govplanet was told not to sell any armor inclusive of the roofs...

    That roof is the roof under the armored 'Flying Nun' roof.

    REV truck?

    Yeah, the body of the truck looks good but there may be too much risk with the engine internals exposed like this. :(

    REV truck?

    Every time I look at a slant back I still get butterflies. Lol. And I have one. Its simply the most powerful rugged looking truck ever made in my opinion. Is your truck a REV ? Was the engine missing parts like in the picture above? Im not sure what they are pulling off of these trucks but...

    REV truck?

    I'm starting to think that everyone who wants a HMMWVW has one. It's likely just guys like us bidding against ourselves on a 2nd or 3rd or shops bidding to complete builds while they already have ample inventory. However, the minute the masses finds out about these auctions the price will...

    White smoke startup 6.5

    I had this issue until I replaced the control box. Truck would start after a few cranks but I would get lots and lots of white smoke. Troubleshot everything and it boiled down to the control box. I replaced that and the smoke was gone.

    What is the difference in the driving experience between the A2 trucks and the REV trucks?

    Can someone describe the difference in the driving experience between the A2 trucks vs the REV trucks? Handling, acceleration, braking, etc. I've heard the REV trucks run at higher RPMs in routine driving than the A2 trucks but I'm not certain. Do the REV trucks feel not as quick as people...

    Wheel and tire questions

    If you go with 20 inch wheels, the world opens up to you with tire choices. I think 40s are the perfect size tires and 13.5 width are optimal. There is a 15.5 width but that may cause some issues with fitment. Also, if you're running after market wheels, BE SURE you inspect the lug nuts...

    HMMWVs in Ukraine, intense video

    That guy Yuri is an interesting story. He has lived in America for years. Not sure if he was born here with Ukrainian ancestry or if he moved here when he was young. Either way, he saw the conflict starting and began shipping guns and ammo back home. Then when it kicked off, he flew back from...

    Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

    1045a2 didn't come from factory with airlift bumper. Install one and Yes, the Rhino is the way to go.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    There were over 800 watchers. It was crazy. I hope it wasn't the result of the Pawn Stars show reaching people and making them curious about the auctions
