    I am wanting to buy my first Humvee I guess from gov planet!

    This has been discussed MANY times. If you want to guarantee a on-road title AND not take chances with waiting a VERY long time for EUC and SF97 to be complete, you'll be money ahead to buy one in a private sale (or a couple of companies that do the work to make them right after getting them...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Any chance you’ll make those inserts for sale? Cool mod! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    Where can I find a bubble balancer that fits the 4 1/2” hub diameter of the HMMWV wheels? I have only found them with 4” max diameter. I’d love to DIY balance if I could WITHOUT centramatics... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    After my own attempt to align (which was close) I took it to a shop that would put it on the rack. An hour later and a little tweaking and toe is set properly AND the bounce has gone away (or 90%, the rest is tires and that's the next fight). Drives much better than 3 weeks ago! They checked...

    Tire Bounce...

    I found a small shop today that is willing to do it, they work on RVs and odd stuff. They can’t do it for 2 weeks (only open a couple hours a day because COVID), but that gives me time to check out some other things before taking it in. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    Both refused to do anything with “split rims” and won’t balance with the runflat installed. Supposedly there’s a truck shop that will do it but I can’t get them to answer the phone... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    I took the centeamatics off entirely and the only change is the bouncing starts at 55... I’m still looking for a shop that’s willing to do an alignment even though I’ve already done the string and TM methods. I’m going to borrow a camera this weekend to try to see what’s happening. Very...

    If I could safely do that I’d be in business! Still have a couple other things to check, but this is on the list for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire Bounce...

    I haven't found a local shop that will do alignment yet, but did do the alignment (string and TM method) myself. Not as good but most places dont' want to touch a "H1" around me either...

    Tire Bounce...

    I'm glad I'm not totally losing my mind thinking there was something easy I was missing. All of the parts replaced were worn and ready for replacement, so I wasn't throwing parts at it, but beyond this I might be! I have a dial indiacator and will check the runout of the wheel on the hub and...

    Tire Bounce...

    VERY familiar with the 24P-1, only place to get parts info. Hoping someone had an idea of what, I'm not interested in throwing parts at a problem... Springs are Figure 192 same manual...

    Did that, made no change. Doesn't matter what wheel and tire are on there.

    Tire Bounce...

    I've been running through all of the mechanical stuff on my 87 M998 and am down to one last annoyance, drivers front tire bounces between 56-59mph and I absolutely cannot find it. Below is what I've done so far (not throwing parts at it but fixing neglect): Spindle Nut - Bought the 6K...

    I have placed 3 orders and received them all in 2-4 days, all standard UPS ground to VA Beach. Maybe I’m just lucky, although this would be the first time that would happen.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Squeaks driving me crazy..............help

    Passenger side exhaust manifold heat shield is possible. Didn't really hear it until it was hot. Mine had broken spot welds everywhere causing the issue... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cooling issue: "overcooling"

    I'll try the cardboard insert after we get our monsoon... I just want to make sure it works correctly so I can really start taking it places. After I replace the heater hoses, power steering hoses, and CV boots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cooling issue: "overcooling"

    I’m not “complaining” but concerned there was an issue. I know diesels are designed to run hot, I don't think keeping the temp below 190 is normal. That's the only reason I'm concerned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cooling issue: "overcooling"

    It's cycling, I can watch it move in and out (engage and disengage) when unplugging the cadillac valve. Fan system works as advertised, I just can't get the truck to make it come on. Maybe I'm paranoid that I'll get stuck somewhere because of something dumb...

    Cooling issue: "overcooling"

    I ordered the one from the TM... I've tried the "stop and go" as best I can during the COVIDs but straight line driving to work and back. I know the whole fan system works (except the crappy temp guage, sure wish I can find a reasonable replacement that is relatively accurate) and I'm not...
