    6.5L GEP - Black Smoke when accelerating

    Run injector cleaner and see what happens after a tank or two

    White or Blue smoke after it warms up?

    This is a super frequent topic. Lots of advice in previous posts. Good luck to you

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Not quite a HMMWV BUT 1995 Hummer is the 12V version. Same power train. My 1995 has a Whipple and water injection. Swapped out the PO’s POS 38”x14”wide tires with 24 bolt with 37x12” standard tires just like the vehicle was sold with. Drives great. Super happy. This is why I painted those tan...

    Any issues with running old surplus 37’s

    Hummer H1 has driven his rig with zero issues for over 300,000 miles on former military tires. He swears by them. Guy drives icy Winter conditions and drives to Death Valley in the Summer at 129 degrees. Same tires. PM him for his perspective.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I’m not a fan, of tan. Rims were dirty as heck from storage. Washed with water and a scotch pad. Chamois dry and then prep work. Tedious part is taping off properly. Taping round rims with raised lips has to be done just right. 4 done. Six to go.

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    AFAIK, Florida will no longer title these vehicles. If memory serves correctly If you want a legal option, Pony Up and purchase an H1. I suggest pre-1996 so as to avoid computer and DS4

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    Hose replaced. Fluid filled. Now I need to jack her up and bleed the system.

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    There was some fluid left draining from my vehicle in the driveway at the end. I had some function. At least a pint drained in the driveway after I got back. Still, I share your concern. I fear you are on target. I'll let you know by Wednesday Steve, and as always, thanks for your input.

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    I've been pre-occupied with work so I've been away for a while. I recently also built six twelve foot planters using 12'x12"x2" beams and galvanized bolts. They will be filled with 8 yards of soil tomorrow. I went to get plants. It was great to be in the old girl. Started out fun... Then the...

    Has anyone gutted a N3135 regulator?

    This will be a slow thread. I’ve been dealing with work. I haven’t forgotten. T

    Pretty sure I got (not) scammed by a eBay seller from Japan selling radios

    Please consider asking administration to change the title of this post in order to reflect the fact that this was not a scam

    New owner of M1114

    You should PM Gamble. He turned his slantback into a custom masterpiece.

    HMMWV tattoo 20 year anniversary. Love this video

    This was just shear brilliance. Henry Rollins, driving a Humvee over moguls and bumps with SteveO onboard getting a tattoo. Every time I see it I laugh. A cinematic gem. (I apologize if I have posted this previously. )

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Guys. It’s a freaking three speed. It is old. 🤦🏻‍♂️ We’re talking Uber old. Like late 1980’s

    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    Three speed means OLD. That is great!!! That means you can claim it’s a 1991 and insure as a 30 year old classic and save $$$ and avoid many exhaust requirements.

    '86 M998 No Wait Light, Nothing

    Glow plugs should be replaced. PCB should be removed and converted to manual. If you don’t know how, PM me.

    ARGH! FlexPlate Advice Please...

    HMMWV starters are water tight. That also means that dust and carbon that are generated cannot escape, and eventually clog these units and require rebuilds.

    New program to rid of non runners from govplanet.

    $5000 is too high, especially older units.

    Wanting to start a new HMMWV business. Need your help.

    I don’t understood your business model. I think you will lose your shirt. Unless you crowdfund this, I think it’s a bad idea. And once you get sued for providing a vehicle beneath the purchaser’s expectations and once you get sued for selling a vehicle that is involved in occupant’s bodily...
