How to get a Hummva in Europe There was once a bunch off 100 Hummvees sold by the MC. And these were puchased by two guys over here for the MC did not know the sales restrictions. Since then the owners ower her who built up their Hummvees from scrap parts had no more problems with the military...

All of you ae a little right - and a little wrong. The use of 2-stroke oil is a waste of money! The cheapest engine oil 15W40 is good enough to lubricate the injection system in a mixture of 100:1. Engine oil (not the syntetic stuff) has a higher cetan number than Diesel fuel, so it will burn...

In 372,000 km with a M1009 I never had any problems with these bolts, which are mass porduct M12 over here. Just tie them to the propper torque and also fix the barcket. And with my M715 I never had a problem with the 6.2 l Diesel instalt with these bolts. Only the starter is a piece of scrap! I...

You should have balanced your tires and checked for the propper wheel bearing setting before. olf

European 12V 95AH is a good choise. Wolf

You have no idea about the prices over here. But 15 k§ seems a little much for an unrestored unit. Anyway, nice find! Wolf

M6 is 6 x .75 mm, thats why it is M6. M7 as standard only for Aircaft in Europe is 7 x .75 mm only. Befor WWII it was a standard bolt like on my DKW Sport 250, built in 1938. Wolf

There is a little cable, we call here #51, which starts to activate the selenoind. Inside the cap the tiny wire is burned. The reason is , that during assembly this cable is twisted and weakend. And some day the stressed coper wire says good by. I had this three times. The starter is changed due...

txdodge43man, I think, you are looking for the A1 version mirror arms. Some of the statement fotos above are modified basic version arms , one at least seems to be a modification of a gas Reo arm with originally round mirrors. However these round mirror gave a very poor rear viev. So the change...

To my experiance most of the statements above carry a good load of trouth in them. What we have to consider? The 6.x engines were desigend as normal aspirater´d. the first error was to take the eyhaust gas for the turbo from onla one cylinder bank. And the turbo will not help, if the ip is NOT...

CUCVFRAK, your answer showed me, I got you somewhere. And you do not like that. The same way I do not like. For me this is over and out. And I only wanted to help. Thats all. Wolf

OK, 77000 miles. The engine should be broken in. What do you have to check / replace? V-Belts replace them all, buy the best quality you can get. Fuel filter: Can wait until you have a leak of power, then the filter is partly cloged, but the truck still runs some 65 mph. Engine oil and filter...

Hope youhad a good time, at least looks like that. But someone should take the shakles out of the hubs of the M715. This keeps the weels very well out of balance and will damage the tires befor the time. The shakles will be placed in the hubs only for loading on a ship! This is according to the...

You can try to fix your radiator by yourself. You can try to close small holes with any kind of radiator weld. This is ok, if you are somewere on the road (However, the radiator weld will also glue all hoses to the metal countwer parts, if this **** finds any very small gap to lay down in. I...

Warthog, think, you are not a German any more, you have undoubfully German ancestors. That's it. However, this was beyond your influance. So I can forgive you for that. Do not forget, it was only one vote that the language in the US is English and not German. The thing with the beer might be...

The 404 box is only about 140 cm hight, quite low for a somewhat comfortable camper body. But insulation is not to bad and it has a side door beside the rear doors. An advantage to a M109 body due to German legal requirements. Wolf

I do not have all partnumber present in my brain. My post was just a simple advice to avoid problems, for I experianced that the guyes in the shops take balzer for the S10, not only in Germany, also as well in the states! So, CUCVFREAK, keep patient, do not treat me like that. I do not like...

Or in other words, which I would have stated if I had read these statements earlier finger tight, as we would call that in Germany for 10 flbs / 7 Nm. Greetings Wolf

Do not order Balzer parts these days, you get S10 parts! Ask for K5 Parts! Or CD10516 / CK10516. Rancho alos has some very good shocks in its prorgam. I used them for some 14 years without any trouble. Wolf

As CPW said, the brake light swich. Sometimes, the swich is used to adjust the pedal frwee travel, so the contact can not close woith a full breaking. Mine had the problem. So turn the brake light swich back that the contact can close. In 99 % of all cases that hepls. Wolf Warthog, I answer this...
