    GEICO no longer covering MVs.

    I got an email from GEICO Wednesday AM about my new ID cards. Four vehicles only. I went with GEICO in October for HMMWV insurance - combined with my Tacoma I was going to SAVE about $500 a year with both cars over what USAA was charging me for the Tacoma alone. Added 3 other cars in Dec...

    Traffic Stop/I was speeding

    I laughed out loud at your comment "because I let you" - maybe he wasn't up on memes, definitely not in a place to appreciate the joke as it applied to a HMMWV. I got pulled over once and when asked if I knew why I had the presence of mind to say "It's your word against mine officer, so does it...

    What happened to the site - Site shows mobile view (Internet Explorer)

    I get that sometimes on my iPad or iPhone. Not always. try to find a setting in your browser or OS for "mobile" site and change it.

    Cooling upgrade system.

    Looks simple enough, elegant, even. Of course, a good "tactical black" or camo finish would take the prize. Looking forward to reading test results from the early adopters. Thanks for posting.

    Source for under hood jack storage

    I think you're looking for this: 232292723537 over on the evil web auction site. I got one through the seller months ago, had to make clamp hardware (buy bolts, drill holes, tap holes, buy LONG threaded bolts, "weld" in place with loctite red, make plates, wing nuts). It's all shown in Figure...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Sorry, bad language. I should've written "changed the oil pan drain plug gasket" That would've made more sense.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Changed the oil pan gasket. Used a copper thing I got from Kascar and it dripped. Class III drip. Even torqued up to 25 ft-lbs. Got one of these: Dorman 097-021 Oil Metal/Rubber Drain Plug Gasket 1/2" Fits 1/2, M12, M12 So Had a spare 12.5mm bolt handy, lost an ounce or two of oil (I'd...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    So keep the mount that's on the truck now, pull the mount off the 242? Save it for a paperweight?

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Got parts on order (thanks to 86Humv). Another question, this one regarding the adapter assembly, pu NSN 2520011757220 listed as part #1 on page 103-1 for my truck M1038 (UOC H14). The part is ALSO listed as NSN 2520014641774 for other models. What I've got now is the first, bolted between my...

    You mean the lever AT the TC? Or by the driver?

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Thanks. I DID that, but on a different search engine. I haven't used google for searches in years. Got tired of it feeding me bogus headlines/suggested threads and irrelevant links - especially for things political (last year, I did a search for "Hillary Clinton is" on a handful of major...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Very helpful, I think. I'll go over this today/tonight. I'd like to get the parts and get this job done and buttoned up soonest. RWH mentioned "UOC" which is also helpful, but we're talking apples and oranges here. A 1992 M1038 came with an NP218 T/C. If you plug in a later model NP242 T/C...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    This is such a common topic - and I've searched this forum, hummerknowledgebase, G503, "the innerwebs" - you'd think there would be doctrine, a TB or MWO somewhere, or at the very least a table with transmission, T/C and matching shafts , one from column A, one from column B, plug and play. Or...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Hate to resurrect an old post, but I'm doing this same thing, just picked up the 242 this morning up in Philly. I'm at a loss to tell which shafts I'll need. Did you ever sort this out? Norm (just down the street from you).

    Width to outside of wheels

    Good price, even a ten day round trip would be less than the (roughly) $1000 being quoted for shipment. Would still need to borrow a friend's dually (my Tacoma just isn't going to do it, even with the tow package). But which fender? You mean the trailer's, right? I'm not dense, I just...
