    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    they aren’t press fit, they are held on with blue locktite, that version has no set screw. there are several variants based on what Glass is installed and in what truck. I remove probably a set every other day, but on that version, it’s 50/50 you get them off without destroying the pivot…better...

    Help identifing a transmission

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    You can’t modify an early tank….and you wouldn’t want to, the cost of a new tank is negligible, and it’s a good time to refresh what now 30yrs old.

    M998A1 Front sway bar

    why do Hmmwv’s have a tendency to roll over? It’s has the lowest Center of gravity of probably any vehicle on the road. But as far as removing suspension components? It’s ridiculous…if you need a vehicle that needs this “soft ride” maybe a hmmwv isn’t for you ?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    i just personally haven’t seen AC15G’s in years, maybe they are back in production, the Govt doesn’t use them, OEM plugs are made by Wellman. There is a new plug out now made in Germany for GEP, HPG sells them, part no. GEP18002668-8

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    while I like Eriks military, the correct military GP’s are 3/8, the only versions I’ve found to be metric were some Chinese knock offs that were utter garbage, they even went as far as to imprint the Mfg part numbers in them like OEM, the dead giveaway was the chrome finish and of course the...

    Replacing Rear Main Oil Seal On 6.5L non Turbo

    6.5 requires trans comes out to change seal…I would make sure it’s even your rear main, very rare they leak, 99.9% of the time its your rear pan seal… 6.2 rear main is a 2 piece seal…done differently.
