Tag. Curious myself. Same thing "W/E" is on MY data plate. There's also a winch. There WERE two sugar scoop antenna mounts and the radio wiring harness - but only a 60A alternator, otherwise I'd think maybe the "E" was for "Electronics" but I've looked through the manuals (in PDF) and can't...

Specifically, installing a 6.2L NA from a 1985 M1009 into a 1992 M1038 HMMWV. Anything I need to know about whether this engine will match the fittings/transmission (TH400/3L80) in mine? Bolt-ups/frame mount locations, oil hoses, etc? I admit I don't know much about these things, but it would...

Looking around the the slide hammer (5120-01-013-1676) and found this: http://8tharmy.korea.army.mil/safety/Toolbox/Resources/Videos/Grounding%20training%20powerpoint.pdf Referenced in the PP presentation, as are a lot of examples of how NOT to make ground connections. The milspec tool would...

Worked a couple of back to back shifts over the weekend, was off today, puttering around on my HMMWV, catching up on some bills and calls. Had to get the dogs out anyway, shed's close enough it was nothing.

You'd be surprised. Most of Maryland is an alluvial plane dating back to long before the last major ice age. There're rocks here bigger than my head and I've broken up many of them putting in paddock fencing over the years. The "contact' comes in after the first couple of rains, or you can...

Went out to the shed a while ago and took some pictures. The hose fitting just taps into the conduit (grad one of each at your friendly neighborhood big box hardware/outdoor store and see for yourself). The instructions I got was to braze a piece of metal in the end of the conduit. I figured...

Thanks, 319. I'd looked into one of these last year when I bought my 802, just didn't get around to it. Great price, took advantage of a 30 day free trail for SG (again, I've done this before). BTW, if you're EVER thinking of installing a ground rod - or several of them - nothing beats the...

[thumbzup] That's a riot. I've started with several of those one hour" jobs, only to be puzzling over the fit/finish, hardware, figuring out what else needs replacing, or just not getting everything together for three hours but I'm learning, learning to use the manuals, online resources, and...

Thanks, already have drop off available, just curious about what it might/will cost. Be nice to have a spare as I intend to get my HMMWV down in a year or so.

Hampshire's between Columbia and Hohenwald off 412, about 30 miles west of I-65. Question really is how much would/should a 6.2L NA engine with IP, no manifolds/starter weigh on a pallet? I'm looking into shipping quotes, but anyone headed this way/route in mid-July I can negotiate with. I'll...

Thanks. Starting playing around with wrapping one of the spokes today (foliage) before I get into wrapping the wheel. I'll post pictures if it works out.

Glad to help. It's what I live for. NB

SS user was "AIRBORNEROBM" and I got in touch with him through uship, which quoted me $1050 initially, then it got down to $923 for the trip. He's near Madison, AL. Ask him.

At work right now, between patients. I bid on a truck in Nashville last fall - missed it by $50, which is probably a good thing - and there was a shipper, guy who posts on this board who's based in Alabama who offered to go up to inspect the truck for what I thought were reasonable rates. I...

Ditto, with exceptions. Sometimes it's better for the bolt to give than the frame. Like fuses. Sometimes fuses will sacrifice themselves for more expensive electronic components, sometimes they tough it out. Here...

THAT is awesome. I've got several hundred feet of 550 cord around, it might do the trick, seems to have with yours. I'll give it some thought. By the way, what diameter is your wheel? HMMWV is 14.25", yours looks like it might be wider. Thanks.

Ah, family time. My daughter, studying abroad ('straya, James Cook Univ.) returns in two weeks. Says she'll drive the HMMWV this time. Scared her just to ride in it. The bumpers you want, HPG has: 01-185-0404 BUMPER, WINDSHIELD FRAME (FOLD-DOWN) 2 $4.68 $9.36 I replaced mine a few months...

Been all over the web looking for one. Looking for simple, leather, that will lace on and fit a small-circumference wheel like the one on our beloved HMMWVs which reminds me of the wheel on my first car, and English Ford Cortina. My wheel's dissolving. I did some searching on this, last post...

Thought had crossed my mind, but ATF is slicker than snot on teflon. Had to clean it up.

What I did with MY HMMWV today: Ran out to ACE to pick up a 4" aluminum expandable dryer vent hose, fabricated a fancy hook out of a coat hanger to connect to the spash shield (I seem to recall seeing something like this in the motor pool around 1980-something), wrapped a wet towel around the...
