    Lower profile tire idea

    I don't have any response that is relevant or helpful, but I wanted to say that I like your screen name! My next (or the one after) German Shepherd will be named Poolboy (the next will be Holly)! My wife is hesitant to get another dog (we've always had German Shepherds) because of the feeling...

    I'd suggest installing the high-back seats with the 3-point seat belt kit. I have never used a car seat in a HMMWV before, but I assume it would work just fine with the 3-point seat belts.

    Won M1152. Evaluations please.

    I'd recommend you post the pics from the auction. The pics will show more information than a screen shot of the auction. Congratulations on the new acquisition.

    M1165 Humvee now recovered! from Scottsdale AZ

    A lot of shops say they are not responsible for thefts that occur on the premises. I don't believe that is accurate. Talk to a lawyer.

    Help with military markings

    Carefully sand down the layers of paint on the bumper. Take the proper safety precautions for CARC paint. You may be able to trace the truck back multiple units.

    Found some cool pictures - M944A1 SEORTM

    John Winslow (RIP) had one for sale once that was really clean. His truck was complete and fully operational. He had it for quite a long time as I guess it was not a hot seller. He offered it to me and I considered it for a while, but I did not end up buying it. It was probably 15 or more...

    Heater install, M35 gas

    For what it's worth, the "directions" that come with the hot water heater kits leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. They basically amount to a schematic. The instructions I had...and I have installed several heaters...basically just showed the layout, but the instructions did not tell you...

    Best M35 year and model ?

    I have had many of the M44A2 series and M44A3 series trucks. In my mind, without a doubt, the M35A3 is the superior ride with regards to safety, performance, and comfort. I particularly like: dual circuit brake system, the back up lights, seat belts, better/more comfortable seats, upgraded...

    HMMWV Rebuild process

    An MWO is a Military Work Order. It usually entails things that the military decides to change on a truck. A real example is with the M44 series of trucks. When they were first designed, they did not have seat belts. Some years later (decades after they first entered service), the military...

    M101A3 tires

    Speaking of tire guys, a good friend in PA (on this list, but I'll let him announce himself if he wants to) had a tire guy who was in his late 60s. He would drive down from PA to MD and work on my tires. I only called him if I had a large job, like swapping six wheels/tires from one truck to...

    Contact Wes Simpson (SIMP5782) on this list. He's the man for tires.

    Soldiers and Marines paying to pimp their HMMWVs

    This may help to explain why I've had many, many trucks with non-standard paint. I once had a "3 color camo" M35A2 from the DE AR NG that was more like a five or six color camo with all the different greens and browns used. I never thought they might have had to buy their own paint. As an...

    Moving to Russia

    I stayed in a small town myself about 90 minutes outside of Moscow. We did quite a bit of sightseeing around, though, and it included Moscow.

    Moving to Russia

    My wife is Russian and I have been there, too. Very nice place to visit. If in Moscow, there are several really good military museums that have a lot of RARE German WWII armor. Also, I'd suggest going to the Kubinka military museum south of Moscow.

    HMMWV's

    The crazy part is it took two parties to feel this truck was worth it!

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    I have had the truck for about four years and have driven it long distances (3-5 hours). It has 92K miles.

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    I have a 1997 civilian Chevy 3500 pickup with a 6.5TD. The gauge reads about 45 pounds when cold and at idle. While running (revving up) it reads over 50 PSI. When hot, at idle, it reads about 18 PSI. The truck runs beautifully and does not burn oil. I am NOT worried about that in the least.
