    Radiator tank to bracket attachment

    Finished silver soldering the brackets back up today. Easy enough with flux prep and moderating the heat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hawaii MV ownership/registration

    Replied in other thread. Looks like those bills were vetoed by the governor and did not become law. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1151A1. Radiator brackets have separated from the top tank. I’m looking to solder them back on. Q: Are they riveted together OEM or soldered/brazed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1151A1 rear variable springs

    I have an 1151A1 with a broken rear variable spring. I’m looking at the standard 10K variable springs vs the HD variable springs. Can the 10K variable springs be used (I’m not planning on running armor or heavy payload on this one). The UOC calls for the HD spring but these are comparatively...

    Steering Gear Box

    I just finished rebuilding a Sheppard box on an 1151a1. Seals are available from Sheppard as well as another aftermarket company. Internal parts are OEM only so if a M83P2 box needs hard parts the only option it’s to send it back to Sheppard for rebuild or core. I have a post on this topic...

    R.H. Sheppard and Shaeffler business practices - HMMWV steering gear

    I don’t often complain about corporate interests however this one is egregious. The HMMWV ECV/REV M83P2 steering gear produced by R.H. Sheppard (Spicer CV) cannot be effectively serviced in the aftermarket. Sheppard protects their remanufacturing business aggressively and will not source...

    LMTV/MV Safety Improvements

    Old thread I know... Looking at rollover pictures of LMTV and more recent related fatalities I'm curious if there is a commercially available ROPS/interior cage kit available yet. Easy enough for an experienced fabricator but seems like something MME/others could offer to the aftermarket.

    Show me your generator shelter

    Might be a tad close to the house for noise and fire risk? Do you have enough room to service the back side of the generator? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Front driveshaft center bearing. Easy procedure but broke my puller in the effort. Nice article on the procedure: https://www.flashoffroad.com/Maintenance/DriveShaft/front/frontdriveShaft.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
