    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    Looks great. Mine fits 40s no running. Steers with 1 finger. What tires did you find to fit the stock wheels?

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    Yours has the B3FK5. Mine is just the1165A1. That could be a difference? Also the 1167 is 13,100 GVWR.

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    This tag says 15,500. That’s over 1.5 tons of extra payload compared to the 1165. It’s gotta come from the springs right??

    Mrfarb’s 2009 M1151a1 build thread

    Thank you for this. It’ll be a few months before I can get to this but I need to go through the same process. I’m curious, can all those wires and relays be checked before adding any of the gas or vacuum? I’d probably let an auto shop do that part.

    Mrfarb’s 2009 M1151a1 build thread

    Ugh. I have to go through this for mine too, and I have no idea where to start. Please let us know what you find as you go through it. Please link the other thread if you don’t mind.

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    I feel like my rev truck rides great, much better than I expected.Better than the a2 truck I rode in only once. what’s the GVWR on the 1151? It’s it 15,500#?? My 1165 I believe is 12,200# or so. Don’t quote me on those weights I’m just going off memory here, but I assume heavier springs or...

    Rear fender dimensions m1165a1

    Thank you. I’m not sure how much variation there is in the difference tops, maybe there’s none. My top ends about centered on the fuel filler neck.

    Rear fender dimensions m1165a1

    I’m away visiting family for the summer, so I can’t get these measurements. And we need to buy a new cooler, one of those expensive yeti style ones. Id like a cooler to fit up above the rear tire, strapped down on top of the fender. So if someone could tell me the width of the fender...

    REV overheating - normal?

    I had a chance to get the truck out yesterday. I drove it 20 mins accross town, kept it idling and felt the rad hose. I could squeeze it for a good 4 Mississippi before it was too hot to tolerate. I didn’t know if it had heated up enough, I put the truck in second gear and drove another 10...

    REV overheating - normal?

    Forgive me for the newbie questions. But the TM says to “feel the upper radiator hose” as a way to diagnose a problem with the thermostat . Am I feeling fit temperature or pressure of the hose??

    REV overheating - normal?

    I checked fluids before and after, so there’s plenty of antifreeze. I’ll have to search the TMs later and see where to start. Unfortunately I’m working crazy hours right now and also moving so it’ll be a while before I can get to anything

    REV overheating - normal?

    It’s finally summer here in TN. 90 degrees today. Coming home from a trail, I went 8-9 miles on a major road doing 60 mph. Engine temps shot up and the red idiot light came on as it was overheating. Coolant temps have never been an issue before. I did not expect that, given that the REV...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    Great looking truck. I painted/lined mine in the fall and yes it’s a crazy amount of work to tape. can I ask how many gallons of the lizard skin it took to do your interior? Did you do the inside of your doors?

    Best places to look for a reliable 6.5 TD engine? What is needed to swap from a 6.2?

    Call a place that does duramax swaps like plan B or predator or whomever, and see if you can buy someone’s running take out motor? Just a thought.

    Icy Roads

    So it’s nothing to do with road conditions? Do you know what it’s called in the TMs, if it’s in there at all? Operators manual says to pump brakes in snow and ice, but nothing about whatever this system is.

    Icy Roads

    I guess I was asking more about the “abs” system that the newer humvees have. Before I take it out for a real world test lol
