    Who needs a three speed tranny? Do we have a “donations” forum???

    I’d love a “ free donations” or “free give away” or “free” forum. I got parts to give away. We all do. I’d be happy to moderate the forum. I have a TH400 tranny that works. I swapped it out for my 4-speed. It’s in the way. I’m in Brooklyn, NYC. It’s free to the first person who takes it.

    What is the angle between the lower and the upper door on M998

    Anyone measure or know the angle between the lower door and the upper door on our HMMWV’s. I guess if it was a tire I’d be looking for the negative camber.

    Alternator V-Belts rattling. Should I replace?

    Alternator V-belts rattling. Don’t appear to be a matched set, although that’s what I ordered when I bought them. I tensioned them warm with a three foot breaker bar. I will try to post a video later to see if the video looks normal or if you guys think I need to replace the belts. Note the...

    Question about H45 heater for M1101 camper conversion

    I own an M1101 with fiberglass cap. I also just rediscovered my H45 type II that uses Diesel fuel. Is this heater too big or will it adapt to working in a smaller camper style M1101? If too big, perhaps I should attach a tent to the rear hatch of the camper? Should I consider an SHS small unit...
