Well done! I designed and printed a slave port cap/cover for my Hmmwv but nothing so complex as this. My ABS plastic prints are disappointing in terms of strength. I will see about getting my hands on some polyethylene. Bulldogger

It has gotten more pricey to ship doors lately for some reason. One trick if you haven't tried it, is to take the handles off and tuck them in where able. It might even be cheaper to ship handles separately in USPS flat rate packaging. Bulldogger

My son and I are hoping to attend. I have to confirm his availability and just as importantly get the HMMWV steering rebuilt. If it doesn't rain too much next week, I've taken days off to accomplish it. We will camp if we make it down. Two tents as usual, one for the humans and one for the...

There are several of us in the DC Metro area to welcome you if you and the family make it out hear Brandon. Bulldogger

Mine will probably make up for it when we get to pulling them (or trying to)...

My bad, I didn't notice the companion thread. Yes, same box influences both. Sounds like the box to me. I defer to those who know more about the control box, in your other thread. Bulldogger

Could be several things, but hopefully not the engine controller Have you checked the generator at the output, to verify the voltage swings manually (apart from the mil gauge)? You might also check your voltage regulator. The TM explains how. Not sure which generator you have, or if you have...

For what it's worth, I was considering a 211 near me for $2500 that isn't driveable, and it still seemed like a good deal. The price of older Deuces has dropped since the military began surplusing out the newer (current) models. A good ready to go Deuce (M35) can be found readily for $5000 if...

My list is a bit different, but monetarily and time-wise identical to yours. Part of owning an old piece of industrial equipment I still enjoy it and do not regret it. I'm from Indiana, and so more than a little bit Contrary, but I enjoy being different than every one else, so a Hmmwv is...

Could try a soft slant back, if you've got a soft top rig. (shameless plug) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?177381-HMMWV-4-Man-Soft-Slant-Backs-and-Frames&highlight= I don't have any in stock at the moment, but can make one relatively quick (end of month or so). I'm half way done...

The others have covered it. I was going to say hubs, control arms, crossmember, or propellor shafts, but other beat me to it. Am replying to subscribe and see what solution you end up at, hopefully. Best of luck. Bulldogger

Agree with draining and opening the inspection cover. New gear oil isn't expensive and it tells you more than peeking in through another access port. Be sure to get the anaerobic sealant recommended, for the inspection cover seal. It's available at auto parts stores from Permatex and others...

The advice given me when my first boot (two now) cracked was to just surf around and find a good cheap surplus NOS half shaft and replace the entire thing. The logic being that it takes MUCh longer to disassemble a half shaft to replace just a boot. I took that advice and am glad I did. I can...

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on the purchase. BDGR

Will-do. It’s holding for now. I made it to the dump and back w my M101, and I didn’t need an Uber home... Bulldogger

It’s starting to be one of those weeks... I don’t know if I should be glad that I have been able to spare the time for all these repairs, or if I should be angry that what I thought was a vacation for mostly gardening and homework has turned into nothing but humvee maintenance. For those...

Welding done Now to put everything back and dog the u joint bolts down tight! Mobile welder did a nice job and good man to talk to. Wasn’t cheap of course, but much easier than pulling the drive train. Bdgr

What did I do today? I knocked a hole in my transfer case! Replaced the front drive shaft’s u-joints and the rear most one came undone and smacked the t case good. A young Marine who introduced himself as a HMMWV mechanic stopped by to check on me while waiting for the tow and said “yeah, gen...

Mine is still holding but I can tell it is very corroded. I’m going to buy the correct part and get it replaced. It is certainly a good temporary fix.

I second using a thread chaser. If someone could tell us the thread size and pitch, these chasers can be had at some hardware stores, Sears, even Amazon. They typically aren't expensive, I bought a set from Sears' online site "Shop you way" or something like that. Much prefer the thought of...
