    Exhaust hose for HMMWV garage startup?

    Anyone using a flexible hose like a Fume-a-Vent for HMMWV startup? My HMMWV is garaged and when started will make smoke. I can't leave my garage doors open to vent out the garage because of very cold temps in winter. Same issue with working in the garage during the winter, can't leave the...

    M998 STUCK IN THE MUD, FRONT WHEELS NOT EVEN ROTATING

    Definitely need a winch on any off road vehicle, HMMWV or not, for self recovery. Whether it's front or rear mounted, hydraulic or electric, don't matter. Without it you stay stuck.

    Govplanet Tires

    Those strike me as all the disadvantages of staying in a 16.5" size (v 17) with none of the benefits of beadlocks (like airing down or being bulletproof).

    No but I want one!

    What are these called??

    Turnlock Fastener, 5325-01-191-7555 or 5325-01-255-1126? The rest of the world might call them D ring quarter turn screw fasteners.

    A couple of electrical questions (taking power off the starter).

    I can't seem to find much in the archives to help me on these two question. I am going to be running some high amperage cables from the starter to the front bumper for a Sherpa electric winch installation. First question, the winch connections are currently covered by a layer of that...

    M1165A1 needs steering box - which one?

    They are a pain and expensive to source replacement, but the Sheppard box is superior to the earlier HMMWV alternatives.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    More and more reasons to junk the two piece rims and switch to civilian 17 rims, unless you need the bulletproof inserts for some reason.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I see your wildflowers and raise you a snowy mountain pass on Easter with another HMMWV behind me.

    6.5 GEP turbo pre combustion cups

    That miles/hours discrepancy wouldn't be unusual if the truck had been equipped with a shelter and the engine was kept running for power.

    Hope all is well Dutchess County New York

    My titles are 6 digits and it was progressive who added 11 zeroes to the VIN - they are fine with that. No issues on my end.

    Hope all is well Dutchess County New York

    Add zeroes to the VIN. If your serial number is 123456, register it as 12345600000000000. You can also try 00000000000123456. You need 17 digits total.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Light control switch went bad somehow. A quick change out to a new one fixed the problem.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Replaced a badly corroded washer pump on the M1152A1. I thought it should take 20 minutes, and it would have if I was smarter. But I spent 30 minutes trying to reseat the self locking retaining ring inside the washer tank before I realized I could just chuck the ring and risk a leak since it...

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    Oh definitely. Anything coming out of Yermo or Albany is a gamble.

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    This isn't a hypothetical. So let's say you were going to buy a parts truck and cannibalize it for hard-to-get spares. Currently I am thinking that I may do just that. And let's say your driving truck is a late model ECV/REV B. Assuming you didn't have space to store the truck more than...

    Arrival of 2nd HMMWV M1151A1

    So hypothetically speaking: if I buy a non-runner M1151A1 for parts, what can I sell the complete slantback for?
