I had exactly the same talk with a delivery driver last week. First time I'd ever looked at the truck much, and I saw a placard by the hose which said "#2 Diesel". I mentioned it to the driver and he said the same thing you heard, that it's just dyed for tax purposes and NOT to use it in my...

I sit corrected regarding the "dust cap". Mine was firmly attached to the shaft. It did take some effort to separate the two shafts. Tried with my son, no luck. Few taps with a rubber mallet, then plastic dead-blow. Nothing. Since I was going to replace the u-joints anyway (about $15 each...

Welcome to the madness. If you can figure out a way to manufacture quality locking hard doors and undercut the competition hundreds of HMMWV owners will beat a path to your door. There was someone else on here who was looking into the possibilities, do a search on the topic. Meanwhile...

Two years ago when our college-age son's Chevy HHR needed major suspension surgery, my wife and I detailed it and traded it in on a VW (I forget the model) for our him. The salesman pushed diesel. Pushed it. Pushed it again. At the time I'd looked it up and decided based upon the vagaries of...

I found a deal on Opti-Lube XPD for a couple gallons. At the rate I drive my truck, it'll last several years if not a decade. Mileage may change in a few years with my move to TN. NB

Having just replaced mine, I THINK the purpose of the zerk fitting is to allow some grease into the splines so you can eventually separate them for replacement/repair. That end cap piece is integral with the shaft and has a seal on it. Don't recall exactly how much I spent for it, under $100...

Not sure it would work, but it's a similar design. I bought a kit similar to one listed as "M998 HMMWV NEW THROTTLE CONTROL ASSY KIT" - on the evil auction site - last fall for about $20 from someone (NOT the ad I quoted) NSN# 2910-01-466-6264AM General Parts No. 57K3531. Installation was...

Tried this from my desktop earlier, some new piece of anti-hacking software F-something or another I installed after Experian let my personal data go to the dark web (they keep sending me emails saying I can buy a protection package from them - I'm thinking this was an intentional leak just...

You could start a "Gofundme" account. There's a group "BBQ4LIFE" on fakebook out of Idaho who are running a couple of 26 foot trucks full of food down to Florda. They were hoping to get $4k or something and right now they're at $6500 plus. Thanks for what you're doing. Norm

Let me be the first to welcome you to the madness. You may find a deal in the price range you mentioned, a well-maintained, road-titled model w/ good paint. If it takes a while to put the money together - or win the lottery - it'll make the acquisition all the more special to you. Meanwhile...

I thought my TC was broken when I first got it. Of course, it had been decades since I'd driven a HMMWV and I didn't remember this (see section in BOLD). Works GREAT when engine's stopped, transmission in neutral. No grinding then. NB TM-9-2320-280-10 2-108 Change 1 2-11. PLACING VEHICLE...

Welcome to the madness. Have fun and come back anytime. We'll keep a bottle of blinker fluid handy for you. Norm

Those look great, and a great price. If you're living in the UK. EU and elsewhere not so much. With postage, the price is maybe 50% over what I paid, then I'd still need to replace the hardware (Stainless steel and aluminum don't play by the same rules Luigi Galvani figured out in the late...

I ran into the same thing. Got "extra" under the seat mats, THEN I got familiar with the PARTS MANUAL, made a list, checked it twice, and got everything I could. Only thing I can't find is a pad for the tunnel on the RIGHT rear passenger area so I bought another one for the driver's side and...

I went through a local tag and title place who took the paperwork up to Glen Burnie on a Thursday, turned it in and got it back to me the following Tuesday. Had a clear Montana title (no SF97), no inspection was required (25 years or more IIRC, maybe 20 is the cutoff). I'd already called and...

While doing MIA-POW recovery missions in Cambodia circa '92-'93 several small panels magically flew off a blackhawk or two. One of the guys the AVN BDE sent was an A&P mechanic whose skills working scrap aluminum (brought along in sheets for such needs) were craftsmanship on the level of...

Putting this in the HMMWV forum as a new thread instead of "what I did to my HMMWV on my summer vacation [and other weekends throughout the year]" as it can apply to any truck.Wanted to put a set of tie-down d-rings/loops in the cab for strapping stuff down on the tunnel. Yeah, I could get a...

The HMMWV schematics are in the manuals; others have posted more useful full-sized CLEARLY legible PDF files here. In this forum. I have some here somewhere as I asked the same question about schematics, unfortunately the wiring harness schematics only go up to something like 1990. Been...

You might do well to look for the actual schematics from those vehicles you believe are wired the way you think they are and go from there. Make a harness, sell copies, get rich ;-) If there had been an easy, safe, useful, reliable way of doing this to HMMWVs, I'd think some of the electrical...

Welcome to the madness. Looking forward to "seeing" you around the board. Norm
