    Is this the wrong starter or Bendix?

    I'm going from memory here, but it looks like the right one to me. Does it not engage when you try to start the it? Is it causing any other issues besides making noise when turning the motor by hand?

    Information wanted: General Dynamics XM-966 HMMWV prototype program

    From a web search http://www.allpar.com/history/military/HUMMV.html http://www.angelfire.com/nb2/jeeppickups/humvee.html Not a lot of info but hope it will help. Does your truck run? Gas or diesel?

    1958 M37 flooded 7 years ago

    Unfortunately I'm in Cleveland so it's not around the block to get your free beer and food...:lol: But the best thing you can do is down load the maintenance manuals for the M37 and start learning. Find You tube videos on how to repack bearings etc. Let's start with some basic questions. Do...

    Is import of HMMWV in to the U.S. allowed?

    I would think you would need to check what the federal import laws say as well as DOD regulations. I would think that federal laws would supersede state laws in this case. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but the last thing you want is for customs to seize your truck and...

    My 1963 M37B!

    I believe you are right about it being a USMC vehicle. Good find and congrats on your new toy.

    Starting for the 1st time

    How long does it run before it dies? If it is for a few seconds (less than a minute) then it may be the fuel pump. Enough fuel gets into the bowl to start and then when it's empty the pump is not sending enough to keep it running. Remember you need three things to make it go varoom. Spark...

    M151 Mirror Mount

    Very interesting....... I'v got nothing to add though. In my 30 years of playing with mutts I've never seen anything like this.

    1976 M880 Spare tire mount

    The HMMWV spare tire carrier is a swing arm one correct. Without looking at it I would have to guess that you need to mount the posts or mounting points on the truck. Just spit balling ideas here, but what about making two brackets that mount to the side of the bed so that they come just past...

    1976 M880 Spare tire mount

    Mount the HMMWV mount in the bed so it will swing out to the tailgate opening. Then lower the gate swing tire, remove and mount on truck good to go. Or if you want you could just do like the M37 and try mounting it on the drivers door somehow. I would think something like a M37 bed mount would...

    Exhaust gasket

    Make sure your manifold flange and your head pipe flanges are good and smooth and matting to each other. Also NAPA makes a gasket sealer for exhausts that works great! Also see if you can get the gasket material that is metallic looking like the ones used on the manifold to the head. That...

    Oil filter part number

    Silly question but doesn't the HMMWV use the same oil filter as say a CUCV uses?

    6.2 intake porting question

    I have to agree with both post. Techniques used for better gas engine performance won't hurt on a diesel.

    HMMWV steering wheel spline count?

    You can get HMMWV steering column on ebay and other sources along with steering wheels. I can tell you that you are going to have to go with a different set up than the M37s as they are not even close. I did find interesting enough that the column from an M715 fits the HMMWV wheel and the only...
