    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    FML. Took the M1165A1 out for a drive today. Hot antifreeze starts dribbling on my son's legs in the passenger seat. Definitely a bad heater core, so now I have to replace the evaporator. Ugggh. A $1500 part and a full day of labor ahead. Anyone have a line on a bargain priced REV/ECV...

    HUMVEE Speedometer - Removing Old Decals

    Might be right, but I'd email Seco and ask. IMHO they have been reliable.

    HUMVEE Speedometer - Removing Old Decals

    I wouldn't be shy about getting the sticker off, worse comes to worse and you ruin the gauge -- that's cheap enough and easy enough to replace.

    New Owner - Where to start?

    I'm 6'4" and I don't find the driver's seat too tight . . . maybe swap out for newer seats and see if that helps?

    Buying price

    One other stray thought . . . If hard doors (i.e., X doors) are important to you try and buy them on the vehicle in the auction. They have gotten pricey lately (like most HMMWV parts). The overwhelming majority of HMMWVs at auction don’t have doors since the armored Frag doors are removed...

    Buying price

    MaxJeep1, my M1165A1 came out of Yermo (Feb auction, May release) and was more-or-less in perfect shape other than the necessary tire replacement. My buddy bought another one the week earlier that was even cleaner than mine. Of course it needed a deep clean and thorough routine...

    Buying price

    As posted by those above there are many alternative models with different price points. It does seem the trucks that have been up at auction lately I’ve been much rougher than the batch that were there in February when I purchased my last one. It would be worth getting hold of a chart that...

    Drilling through rear airlift bumper to mount license plate?

    Does this seem like a bad idea? Putting two 1/4” holes 6” apart in the airflift bumper top surface to mount a license plate holder on the left side of the vehicle (clear of the Rhino spare tire mount). The no-drill plate holder by Federal Military Parts doesn’t look like it fits the side of...

    Best passenger mirror location

    My general unhappiness with the passenger mirror situation is why I'm working on a full time 4 camera system install (front so I can see below the hood, left and right front side for driving, and rear for backup).

    Ferret 54-82589 m.g. mount found

    Your right, I had always associated the Ferret with the Rhodesian Bush War where the MAG-58 cut its teeth. But all of the RBW photos with Ferrets seem to be 1919s.

    dupe post!

    Ferret 54-82589 m.g. mount found

    Amazing mount. But it needs a MAG-58 for historical accuracy!

    That's outrageous. I hope you take legal action.

    New to Steel Soldiers, interested in purchasing first HMMWV

    I too would like to buy a working HMMWV for under $10K. In fact I would buy all of them.

    fuel dumping out of my air filter box

    Just repower the thing to 6.5T/4 speed and junk this crazy abortion of an engine. God knows what else is wrong in there!

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    The real pain is waiting for an SF97 while you have a fully functional truck in your driveway that you can't take out on the road.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I think we have sister trucks, down to the tires (I also have the GT Cepeks but in 37 not 40). Have you figured out what the scorpion symbol is on the back of your truck?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Replaced a bad heater control valve on my M1165A1. The front vents blew hot air on A/C which got hotter as the engine warmed up. An annoying job in some many ways! First, I order the replacement part for $213, only to find it on ebay for $65 after it arrived. Aaargh. Then the replacing took...
