    Are 16.5” rubbers really that bad?

    I have looked on this site as well as the innerweb with no luck so I ask, is their a 40x12.5x16.5 tire available for the stock Humvee wheels ?

    Another temp control issue?

    Easy way to purge air from a coolant system is to "ice pack" the system. When going for final fill add a bunch of ice with the motor running. As the ice cubes melt they obviously turn to water and will find the / fill the smallest of air pockets. Have done this trick on many vehicles both...

    X-Doors: Way to quiet them down ?

    Question: Got to drive my M998 with the new to me X doors for the first time on it this past weekend and the things rattle / shimmy / shake like a MF'er. I have really had no time to look into what could be the cause or a fix but are these known to be loud ? Any fixes I should look into / be...

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    A 5.3L will always be a cheaper buy then a LS1/2/3/6 etc. I also said for around the $5k price that comes with a trans too. Your not getting a LS with a trans for a grand, and if you are their both junk.. Let the Internet crap talking begin !

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    First LS based engine was the LS1 that came out in the 1997 Corvette C5. If you shop smart you can get a "junkyard" LS motor and trans out of a wrecked car or truck for under $5k..

    I’m tall mod?

    I cut out the "bar" behind the drivers seat and rigged up a slide for the front seat to move back and forth. Huge difference.

    Vinyl wrapping

    As said above the prep for a good wrap job is the same as a good paint job. And all those rivets :shock:...

    Any Humvee shops / business on here?

    I have a built 4L80e in my 850hp 55 Bel- Air because its the best trans for high HP cars that actually want to drive on the tollway (overdrive). The 700r4 would never handle that kinda HP, but a "Built" 700R4 with good parts will handle the hp/toqure of a 6.2 / 6.5L Humvee all day long. Add in...

    Any Humvee shops / business on here?

    Not to start this " fight" again but a well built / Stage 2 or 3 700R4 will do just fine behind a 6.2 / 6.5L Humvee. Plus you don't have to deal with electronics, different drive shafts, etc..

    Any Humvee shops / business on here?

    Agree 100%. I have been going around to try and find a decent shop that can / and more importantly wants to work on these trucks with little to no success. Figure in a city like Chicago that wouldn't be a issue but I was wrong..

    Intake and exhaust

    Do some looking around on these boards as this topic has come up many a times. I feel the easier the motor can breathe in air and get rid of the exhaust the better it will run. air in+ fuel + air out = power If you add more fuel along with more air you should in theory make more power. Adding...
