    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    That’s great because it has something that it didn’t come with and it should be disclosed. Same small batteries I have and if I would have seen it before I wouldn’t be complaining. I didn’t have a pic of behind the doghouse and I was nervous about what I would find when I got it home. Turns out...

    Muff too tuff

    I think that’s exactly what I have. That #1 part is the one that I can’t get to. I was hoping that I could get it to swing back enough to get the mid pipe out.

    Muff too tuff

    Thanks. I’m getting ready to get underneath. The bracket on top of the muffler is the one that looks impossible to get at.

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    Yes you are right. I could also put wood between the batteries and the hold down bracket. It’s a high dollar item that’s missing and I will guarantee that the military didn’t put car batteries in it. Without pictures I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a military vehicle to have the proper...

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    That’s a dishonest business practice. I have the bare minimum to start my truck and they don’t fit the tray and the hold down doesn’t work. I’m just saying that they show pics of a 56 dollar mirror that needs to be replaced but don’t show the 900$ worth of batteries that you expect to be there

    I think they are selling the military batteries somewhere and replacing them with car batteries. Anyone buying would have a reasonable explanation that a military vehicle would have military batteries without a picture showing otherwise. It’s a big item that should be disclosed.

    Gov planet takes the military batteries out and puts car batteries in! I think every sale should include a picture of the batteries! I just ordered new Hawker military batteries and they are not cheap compared to mirrors and lights they seem to photograph!

    Muff too tuff

    Really? Nobody has taken the cat section out of their exhaust? Ok I will figure it out and I will tell you what to do and what not to do. Might even put a Magnaflow on it. I see the cat is a different color and I know it’s a heat source that needs to be replaced.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I installed a fuel cut off switch that I got from Blackdog. Seems to be a good quality harness and switch. Gives me a little security. I found a really good spot for it.

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    Yes for me it is. I will have a on-road normal title from Florida, Utah, or Montana. I should be able to take it to the Nevada dmv get the vin verified and leave with plates. Should be like any other vehicle I have bought out of state.

    I think you got a nice truck for a good price. Looks good to me. You should get the title with it for 100.00 and you will have to ask for it. Looks as good or better than the one I got in May and I paid 3,300 more. Mine is a 2002 never been rebuilt.

    Muff too tuff

    I’m trying to remove my muffler and the converter pipe. Basically everything from the Y-pipe to tip. I have been underneath it and I don’t see how it comes out with the body on. I looked at diagram in the TM and mine looks different. M1123 I believe it to be an A2 but it looks like I have the...

    Tailgate dimples/dents - any fix?

    It’s double wall so you can’t get to the back side. 2- 1/4” holes on the backside and you can get them out and plug the holes. Holes, dents or as Action said filler! Might be able to pull them out with glue. Like PDR guys do. I had a guy do my H2 and it came out perfect. I would go filler. I was...

    Registration in TX and the 10k gross weight limit

    You want to know what chaps my ass? I watch YouTube videos of Humvee’s registered in savage countries and we claw and scratch to drive them legally. We paid for them new and now we pay for them again and have to jump through hoops to get them registered. I should never have to see a Humvee in a...

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    I was going to give them to you. I ordered and usps lost my order and federal sent replacements and I got all of them finally and I asked if they wanted me to send them back and he said no keep them for spares. I was going to pay it forward!

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    So you ordered new green bulbs or you are going to order new bulbs?

    Gauge Cluster Wiring… Help?

    I think the fed bulbs are better for our setup because they have light in every direction. I had corrosion also but not that bad on bulbs and more socket. At least you know

    3L80 Tranny issues

    So you could have aluminum all thru the lines and cooler, torque converter? I had a transmission go bad under warranty and fixed by the dealer and I didn’t make it out of the parking lot before the new transmission failed because they didn’t replace torque converter that was full of shavings...
