    HUMVEE Ultra4 (KOH) Build?

    Look into the Rod Hall suspension set up equipped on GMV HMMWVs. Eastern Surplus has these trucks for sale. Basically set up for Baja as is.

    Knock/Bumping Sound

    CV joints make kind of a clatter sound when they go out.

    1999 M1097 4 speed 6.5L seized motor

    Remove the injectors and see what is going on inside.

    M936A2 towed

    Agree. In the transfer case, only a stub shaft outboard of the engagement would be turning. If anything I would think that 15 tons on the wheellift is quite a bit but that is not your problem.

    Hood numbers

    Yeah what you have to do is search that database for entries that list the correct registration (hood) number and then interpolate to estimate yours. Unfortunately the database can’t be queried for registration numbers, says they are working on that.

    Installing A Detroit 8v71 or 8v92 engine into a 2.5 ton or 5 ton M54A2

    V configured engines don't fit either chassis due to the steering gear being in line with the frame rails.

    M813 low range slippage

    Power from the transfer case input shaft to the output shaft is all through gears in both ranges. Any "slippage" would be heard as horrible grinding. Check to see that the high/low range shift rail is adjusted properly.

    Pinion gear on starter won't disengage from ring/flywheel

    If that were the case, the starter would engage if you turn the key to ON with the engine not running. Sounds like it's time for a reman starter.

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    So you advocate spending your money with Shenzhen Unishine Optoelectronics Co LTD as opposed to Truck-lite or JW Speaker who's designs they ripped off.

    Deuce wheel identification help?

    Looks to me like 5 ton combat wheels that have been modified with 6 hole centers. Check the welds carefully before using anything home made.

    AM General to make JLTV'S now

    Now Oshkosh knows what Stewart and Stevenson felt like when they ripped away the FMTV contract.

    SECM Manual HMMWV

    I do. Subscribed. Mine has a huge inverter and rotary air compressor in it.

    HMMWV Role Identification - CTIS Model

    It had the large shelter in it that overhangs the rear bumper.

    '97 M1097a2 4L80e is bad. Need advice - DIY rebuild or junkyard swap?

    Anything from a junk yard will most likely need a rebuild as well. Automatic transmission overhauls are not for inexperienced mechanics. Suggest you pull yours and shop around for what the rebuilding industry calls “bench jobs”.

    What truck would this fit on

    Looks like the big 400 amp. Fits HMMWV, MRAPs, maybe JLTV

    Gauge wiring.

    Sometimes the ammeter was replaced with a voltmeter since the ammeter was phased out early on and the voltmeter remained throughout the truck’s service life. If this was done, one of the ammeter wires was used to feed the voltmeter and the other cut off and taped up. If your mystery wire ends...

    M60A1 Tank - paint removal

    Maybe pressure wash the crap out of it and spot prime any bare areas, and top coat with Pro Industrial water based acrylic from Sherwin Williams.

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    Make sure the wire tag number on the engine compartment side of the light fixture matches the wire number on the headlight bulb.

    M37 block

    If I was considering a non permanent repair, I would notch out the crack a little and fill it with JB Weld.
