    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My truck was missing the fan side of the disconnect so I had no choice. Never thought about reaching it from under the truck. My arms have the bruises from reaching through the fan to prove it. lol It's amazing what parts are scavenged off the trucks before they are surplussed. I'd think...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    "What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately" First off, thanks for asking! I'm working on my auction fresh M1114. Found the nipple side for the quick connect off the power steering hose was missing and got that replaced. How they consider it a quick disconnect when it's located on the...

    HMMWV movie sightings.

    Pretty much any movie involving the US military in the last 30 years will have a HMMWV in it. With that being said, I saw one in the movie Planet Terror. Made me realize a vinyl top isn't that secure during a zombie apocalypse.

    Items you normally check 1st and need to repair and or replace?

    What's the deal with the CDR valve being removed? Mine was removed and sitting in the back of the truck with a screwdriver hole through the side. Why even bother removing it?

    What Do These Wires Do?

    Okay, thanks. I was literally in the dark while checking out my truck last night so I missed this.

    What Do These Wires Do?

    I didn't realize the wires were tagged. That's great information so thanks to both of you. I'll have to check the wires when I get home from work tonight.

    What Do These Wires Do?

    Hi all. Long time member but I sold my M35A2 a couple years ago when I moved cross country. I just picked up my latest toy last week. It's a M1114 and of course it was stripped before auction. I've scowered the TM's and found most of the parts it's missing but these wires have me stumped. Does...

    wsucougarx's M923 acquisition

    I just read through most of this thread and drooled over the pictures you posted. To say I'm a little jealous is an understatement. That's a beautiful truck! I think it's in good hands.

    Interesting custom Deuce

    Kudos to the person who did that. He must have ran out of money before giving it a custom paint job.

    Replaced fuel filters but need to prime

    Sure, if you want to do things the easy way. I for one like to get diesel all over my engine. :)

    Replaced fuel filters but need to prime

    Don't crank the engine to get the air out. Open the bleed screw, then turn the truck accessory switch to on without starting the truck. The in tank pump fuel pump will bleed the air out and pump the filters full of fuel. Once the air bleeder starts squirting fuel, close it. There will be a tiny...

    PNW Info Thread!

    FWIW, my deuce only whistles at about 1800-2600 RPMS. I've got a bit of a oddball truck though. At some point someone thought it was a good idea to mount a turbo from the older 427 multi-fuel engine. Must have been all they had in stock at the time. That, or the mechanic just didn't care. There...

    PNW Info Thread!

    Around. My poor truck has been neglected for a year now. I just can't afford to drive it until I get a better job.

    Looks like that tan cover is a high top! Probably get a little worse fuel economy due to drag.

    Do you live in the PNW? Do you have an M105 for sale?

    That's good to hear. Guess I should visit this forum more often. I could have lent a hand in recovering a surplus trailer from Ft. Lewis. He lives right up the road from me. (but not for long apparently.)

    Do you live in the PNW? Do you have an M105 for sale?

    Did you get a trailer yet? If you need bows for the top, let me know. I've got a spare set for an M105 I'll give you. You helped me out with a headlight once. I'd be glad to return the favor.
