    Issues with SF-97

    Yes, The Montana title or SF97 is stamped off road only for all hmmwv except the USMC later models which command a premium price but come with a "clean" title with no restrictions. You have to sign an agreement that you also understand this and will not drive on road at the time of purchase...

    Deep water fording installation?

    Got the oil dip stick and tube in today. Soaking the bolt probably helped immensely as I did not have to battle it too bad. Thanks for the tip! I used a 8mm allen socket bit. I tapped the socket with a hammer to fully seat it all the way and it cooperated. Now off to the t-dipstick tomorrow...

    M1078 Harmonic Balancer and Fan Clutch

    Suprman in Ct is the to go to guy for FMTV/Lmtv parts. Send him a pm. I would recommend reposting in the correct forum. There is just no way I see a 6.2L gm and cat 3116 using the same balancer. Just the weight of the engines and crank is vastly different requiring different specs in my simple...

    Deep water fording installation?

    The hydro boost I suspect gets pressure from the power steering as it is pressurized. I don't think the cdr hose is made of the right material. It feels like a water hose. In my parts selling days, hose for oil applications is multi layered and fiber reinforced. The rubber is usually thicker...

    Radio for FMTV

    Mt 6352 is a base for a sincgars radio. It can take a single radio or a different adapter slides into it for a doublestack radio with an amp. There are a few models of sincgars. They are pricey and hard to find. The ls-671 speaker is typically also used with them. I am not a ham so my knowledge...

    Deep water fording installation?

    Deep water fording installation?

    Yes, I call it the top "crown" because that nipple was on a small raised extension at the top facing the A pillar and sensor cup. All I have left is the dipsticks but the rain caught me.... Occupational hazard here in the moist Banana Republic :-)

    Deep water fording installation?

    Just installed mine this weekend. The instructions and diagrams have a lot to be desired in my simple mind. The rubber hose from the deep sensor cup goes to the top crown hose fitting on the cdr valve. The rubber hose on the bottom of the fording valve goes to the hose connection on the side...

    10-24 rivnuts

    If you find them and need to buy 100+ as most seem to be packaged, I would be interested in maybe 25 if you will have extra from your project(s) . I was not ready to buy the ones on ebay as I do not need 100. Interesting that the ones for the tailgate don't spec the cadmium coating as I went...

    Vinyl cargo cover repair - loops

    I used contact cement to do just what you are trying to do on a vinyl 5 ton cover. I also added a rivet on each corner to gve it strength and used a black sharpie to tone them down.

    New Aluminum FMTV wheels and tires on flea bay

    Just because all the stock threads are engaged does not make it safe it the parameters of the width of the rim have changed causing the thread engagement length to increase. Have you ever seen any major HD Class 8 truck not fully engage all the threads of its lug nut and studs? There are...

    Official 2017 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    GoldnEagle might be parting a white cucv with a rust free hood that has a small dent and same truck has a brushguard. I am iffy on attending but TimNtrucks has been known to run the LA branch of the ss freight lines :-) and since I have not burdened him yet with any of my treasures, might have room.

    New Aluminum FMTV wheels and tires on flea bay

    My opinion but to each his own. YMMV I do not see any stud poking out of those lug nuts. Not even to the top. From pic looks like a good 5-6 or more threads are exposed with no grip. If it were me, I sure would want the stud fully threaded through the lug nut and coming out some extra exposed...

    coolant leak

    On stubborn leaks that are hard to find, One way is to use a dye in the coolant and then a blacklight. Napa sells the dye bottles and light if needed.

    Finally Got a HMMWV for decent price.

    Welcome to the madness! That is a nice one as few have all the doors and canvas complete. I would recommend flushing the coolant also. Even though mine looked like it had tlc, the radiator and heater were full of crud. Walmart sells the kaboom no drip foam for mold & mildew ( this ones works...
