    Cargo partition divider question... Keeping rain out.

    You are correct. The HMMWV had more engineering manpower dedicated to draining water out than keeping rain out. The divider sits on top of two "feet" that hold it up so the bed channels are clear to drain rain into(or out of) the cab quickly and efficiently .

    Relocating the fuel filter assembly.. My idea..

    I think its a little vulnerable there. Ive been kicking around the idea of replacing the factory unit with a spin on filter and mount with a manual prime pump built in like on the LMTV. I bought one to experiment with but it is way to big . I gotta find one that is closer to the size of the...

    Tire Bounce...

    Do you have a GoPro camera? You could mount one under there in a few different spots and see what's really happening at speed.

    Tire Bounce...

    Slightly bent hub is my guess. Raise it safely on jackstands with all four wheels off the ground and idle it in drive and watch to see if the hub, wheel , and tire run true.

    Split Mirror possible mix-up and mounting Brackets

    I believe the upper mount is right or left hand as is the mirror head. Mine came with the deeper side out. Made the most sense to me.

    Go big or go home - with photos

    Normally I wouldnt read/comment on stereo system discussions but your install is remarkably clean and military looking. If you painted it all matching CARC green it would be perfect! The unit on the doghouse looks like something the military would install

    Will not start

    Had a similar issue on a 1025A2. replaced fuel pump because of a broken diaphragm lifter button. Now getting fuel pumping out of the filter housing...cool. Hook the hose back up to the filter and it just cranks away. Cracked an injector line and no joy. Removed the supply hose from the...

    New M1123 Owner intro and question

    Yeah, I doubt you will get any money back. There were pics of the incomplete engine and no videos of the engine running. You got it at non-runner pricing. Look at what the runners went for lately. You got plenty of room to have a pro take care of it for you and still be in it somewhat cheap...

    about a dozen 1990's M1097A1 HMMWV's in Arizona for sale on GSA auctions

    I was checking those out as they are local. My buddy picked up some M1101 trailers out of there last week. I think I talked him out of getting that 7 pack of MTVs they got there also.

    Humvee Fan Fighting with Thermostat? (almost always on but temps are good)

    I was half thinking about getting one of the newer style gauges that seems more informative AND come with an idiot light

    new here...have a couple questions

    Welcome! When you are able post some pics of it. Look for any markings on the front and rear corners that may be decipherable as a former unit. Ive seen multiple layers showing different units. USMC trucks sometimes have a unit code on the rocker panels and tailgate. Fuel tanks are 25 gallons
