I Google'd this and it appears that the data plate is the only place where you should find a serial number time after time. Occasionally you'll find the serial number on a tag wired inside the end of one of the frame rails, but these are usually missing. If it went through depot rebuild, or if...

I finally broke down and dropped the pan on the transmission today. No metal but there was some dirt granules and what appeared to be water droplets. The fluid was burned black and the filter was plugged pretty bad too - no wonder it wouldn't shift. I replaced the fluid/filter and added a...

I've got the instructions that come with the Kascar strap.

Curious where you came up with the "53mph" part? Even the data plate says 55mph is max in high range. I top mine out at 60mph because I've heard that once you get above that you start running close to redline. Now as far as everything else, it sounds lIke you have some investigating to do. It...

Now is the opportunity for you to do what a lot of folks don't seem to do - read the tech manuals. Bone up or familiarize yourself with some of the work that you know you're going to have to do.

It's really not that hard to mess up - download the TM's from here on the website and follow them. Unless you don't want to work on it, I'd say see what you have first. If you run into problems, ask questions. If it's not something you feel comfortable with, then consult a shop.

I didn't know there was such a thing. We just used 550 cord.......

I would also suggest buying the obvious parts you'll be needing now, so you can spread the cost out instead of a mass cash dump at once....... Where is the truck located?

The Fort Bragg DRMO guys always seem to take themselves a little too seriously and that guy was way too full of himself. The army disposed of the equipment via DLA, so it'll be DLA who makes an effort for recovery, I'd like too see them try that - recover thousands or tens of thousands of...

That's impossible to know without knowing the true condition of the vehicle and to what extent you want to restore it. It's currently a non-running vehicle, this could mean that you need to replace a few minor parts - or it could be a blown engine. You take a risk in buying a non-running truck...

Looks like that's the supplemental armored door - these are appropriate for M998 series trucks. I'm surprised to see that they stopped all that. My understanding is that they're only supposed to stop small shrapnel.

Implementation of armor kits like that will require extensive mods to the vehicle - suspension and drivetrain especially and a turbo would be a great start. Otherwise you're just going to break stuff. Humvee's are no speed demons anyway and adding armor like that will only make it worse. Get...

Both of my "WAIT" lights stay on for 10-12 seconds before they cycle off, so that sounds about right.

I actually had a response done up that basically explained this, but deleted it without posting because I'm sure it would only have been taken the wrong way by some readers.

Sure. As long as it's not a current auction, I believe you can post it. Or just pm it.

They probably mean the actual winch controller, which is commonly missing from them at auction. One of my trucks had it, the other one didn't.

I had the same issue not terribly long ago - can I guess that you were getting light gray smoke out of the exhaust when you were cranking for 10-20 seconds? The light will flash for a moment and then you're cranking. Starting up after its been running doesn't seem to be an issue, but that...

Curious - Does the fender mounted A/C provide rigidity - or has it been determined that the backing paste now provides sufficient support that the bracket isn't needed?

Question-did you bolt directly to the body or did you find the underbody mount/support for the fording stack? I've been wanting to install the fording stack, but have been reluctant to do so without the support, which I haven't been able to find.

I think it does affect the resale value - and not necessarily for the better. Anything you do to it today, I would suggest that you make it easily converted back to original. I liken these to the GPW's and MB's available after WW2. They were plentiful then and not nearly so plentiful now. Those...
