    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    these USMC trucks have had a lot of salt water immersion, as you said…if you have a leak on the core, there are others. also, there is No civilian replacement radiator for the ECV, so that option is out…remove the radiator and send it out and see if it’s even repairable, there are 3 versions of...

    PCB, EESS, 3S, TSU, GPC... Try to figuer them out.

    I would be more than happy to tell you what the problem is, but I’m convinced you would find fault in my answer, as it appears you have in others… question, why are you here asking questions and then discounting the responses from people who have been working on this platform for many many...

    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    you never use starting fluids on IDI diesel engines…test/replace your glow plugs and test your start box…one thing at a time. Your fuel leak is most likely the fuel lift pump diaphragm and pump needs replacement, could be a lose hose clamp or leaking hose too…quite common on these surplus trucks.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    I’ve only seen these on M1167’s….one came on my 67 and several customer 67’s have them, but never seen one on a 51.

    Welding on the Humvee body.

    The 92-93 H1 kept the B-pillar support brace but modified it to allow for bucket seats to recline farther back…the brace was retained, just ”notched“ by removing 2inches or so, then an insert inserted and welded in, IMO…it was over kill, but they had to possibly adhere to FMVSS, but 94 and up...

    Radiator tank to bracket attachment

    They are brazed, but forewarning, this is best left to a professional at a radiator shop, the heat required in that area can also melt the solder internally on the tubes, once fix is applied, you need to pressure test the radiator.

    TSU for the right Smart Box

    They are called “TSU” not TCU, TSU is Temp sending unit, all TSU’s are backwards compatible, the 2920-01-175-7214 is the OLD “glow Plug controller”, will not work with any model EESS or S3 EESS. Any of the TSU’s are labeled as “Temp sending unit” The 2920-01-175-7214 GPC was in fact just that, a...

    Welding on the Humvee body.

    Unfortunately this like throwing darts in the dark…no one knows exactly what your attempting to do, perhaps some pics of your desired outcome?

    Factory cut & welded center turbo manifold?

    I’ve seen these on Early turbo motors, IMO, it was done before they started doing a minor body lift…I’ve had numerous of these crossovers.

    REV trucks DWF exhaust rear fender reinforcement bracket?

    The old style Support brkt can’t be used due to the fender condenser , the ECV and REV’s use a reinforcement plate instead.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    yes, I sell several trucks a month, with an SF97 yes, that truck is on a private road at my shop…anything else you’d like to know? clearly you have some BS Ax to grind here…and you have just made my point as to why this topic shouldn’t be allowed.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    and this is why these conversations shouldn’t be allowed… these vehicles don’t meet FMVSS requirements in several states, one is California, this too can be debated. But going back to your statement that these trucks don’t have a “restriction“ is wrong… Title and registration for road use is a...
