    Finding original build date of R1 ?

    Yes 3 speed but it got a new 6.5 put in it with the rebuild. I guess they ran out of money to upgrade transmissions on these because 100% of the R1s for sale are 3s.

    Finding original build date of R1 ?

    I had others tell me it was doable in this state until I found out they’d bought ones from the 90s guess I should have asked that question first. There supposedly is another route to go here, something called a bonded title…

    Finding original build date of R1 ?

    So far what I’m getting from them is they refuse to register it unless 25 years old, something about FMVSS

    Finding original build date of R1 ?

    My local DMV is giving me trouble over registering and I’m probably going to have to prove to them it’s over 25 years old before they’ll fork over that license plate!

    Let's talk about HMMWV paint

    Is a case of rattle can rapco green 383 still the way to go? Mine was painted over with that horrible ugly sand color and I'm itching to restore it back to factory green. I saw some people mentioning krylon and rustoleum in old threads, but the part numbers don't return anything now so I...

    ATF / transmission fluid in geared hubs?

    This is exactly why I didn’t drive it home even if it ran because I had a feeling there’d be something I would regret

    ATF / transmission fluid in geared hubs?

    I was afraid it was going to be the infamous vampire, so I guess there’s a write up for how to bypass the broken T-case loop and then I’ve got to flush all the fluids? Does it contaminate the transmission too?

    ATF / transmission fluid in geared hubs?

    While I was doing the first oil change on my new-to-me truck I decided to pull off the 1" bolt off one of the geared hubs in the front and see how high the fluid level was. To my surprise I got a ton of fluid pouring out as soon as I removed the plug, and it smells and looks like ATF (red)...

    Finding actual build date of an m1097r1 ?

    The rebuild date is 2005 but when was it actually built? Will they put that on the sf-97? I ask because it will be much easier to insure and title it if its over 25 years old which I suspect it likely is.

    Inexpensive HMMWV Fuel Tank Drain Plug Replacement

    Yeah mine was already dripping after 2 days Edit: also the price of the dorman plug has gone up, mine was over $8 so you're better off spending $21 (after shipping) for the original from someone like federal military parts.

    Inexpensive HMMWV Fuel Tank Drain Plug Replacement

    I just had to do this yesterday, the correct one is on order but I didn't want to wait to drain the tank so I went and got the Dorman from the auto parts store. Unfortunately when trying to pull it out the head broke off so now I have the other half of the plug just floating around in my tank...

    Batteries.... ?

    My new rig came with Exide 6T AGMs but I have no idea how old they are since it wasn’t written on the label, is there another place it would be?

    For those of you looking for a good battery charger at a good price for 24 volt syst.

    So its safe to charge the batteries with a 12v dual bank charger while they're connected together as 24v ?
