    6.5L GEP Engine Valley Drain

    Well timed post! Was looking underneath this morning and noticed a puddle of clear fluid. Upon closer inspection turned out to be diesel. Initial reaction was wtf? and where is this coming from since it looked like it was dripping out of the motor then I remembered this thread. Pulled the...

    Soft Door Latch Catch

    After installing this 4 man top on what originally probably had a hard top of some sort that I am guessing because of the amount of RTV on the windshield frame, I know what you are saying. I probably have a punch list of 10 things that I need to 'adjust' post install. Seemed like everything...

    Soft Door Latch Catch

    I get the assumption, but it seems odd considering all the other parts that were included and considering it is a complete kit that they include the rear catch, but not the front. I assume they saved probably .04 by not including them. After reading the poorest of instructions, I guess I...

    Soft Door Latch Catch

    Oddly my new top kit had the rear catch, but not the fronts (instructions say to oddly say to reuse the existing ones). It looks like they are just light gauge round bar I figure I can bend some myself. Could someone be so kind and grab the dimensions off of theirs? Really just need to know...

    Finally got my Florida Tag and title

    Thanks for your concern and appreciate the opportunity to educate you on the process that the state of Florida has taken to create a method to legally title and register former military vehicles. I am glad you didn't just see this thread and think that this posting was in some way a brag about...

    Finally got my Florida Tag and title

    After hours on end of research, multiple calls to DHSMV, 3 trips to the regional MV office, $166 ($40 of which will be refunded), and two months of time, I finally have my title and tag. My tag number ends in 000 which is the first one that this office has issued. Being a new process created a...

    Civi Wheels for a HMMWV

    You can machine the center hole to get any of the 8 x 6.5 wheels to bolt up, the bigger concerns are the offset and to a lesser degree the load capacity of the wheels. info I posed on another thread - After a little research I think I found the stock specs from GT wheels. 16.5 x 8.5 with a...

    Painting a M998

    Just had mine painted for $1K using Sherwin Williams CARC Type 2. In terms of you get what you pay for my guy did minimal prep, but it is a solid color now and looks better than before.

    Name that sound

    I have been avoiding highway use, but had no choice today. While cruising at 55 mph on a warm 80 degree day there was a loud fan like noise that nearly made me jump out of my seat. It had no effect on speed or power, but it was a sound like when you step on the gas and the trans shifts, but...

    4 man Hand rail length

    68 1/4 from the longest point. I assume the notched slightly angled section would be the same.

    New HMMWV Owners - great older U.S. Army video HMMWV Operation 1991

    Someone needs to tell them that the HMMWV is for off road use only :-P

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    Let me offer my thoughts being familiar with the Florida process. If he has it plated in Fla, his days are numbered. They are pulling all existing titles and your only option (currently) is to go the former military vehicle route. So if you get it, I would put a large chuck of the $18k in an...

    Florida off road only

    I have talked to a few LEOs around NF about this tag and everyone of them said "what tag?". None of them knew about this and pretty much said if you are not driving like an idiot, there is no reason to worry. Undoubtedly someone will get one with these tags, paint it canary yellow with a loud...

    Bad News Georgia HMMWV Owners

    In case you haven't noticed no one at all has said there is any issue between the purchaser and GP. Not one. Why do you keep bringing the HH up? I suggest you read up on the purpose of a HH. It is simply to protect the seller and nothing more. There is no reason to split anything up in the...

    Passenger side floor insulation

    Getting ready to replace the floor insulation and trying to determine what all I need to remove to get the old one out and the new one in. A bit concerned about the level of effort because it looks like the copper lines that run into the heater core are tight against the pad. Thinking...

    Bad News Georgia HMMWV Owners

    You are confusing this issues. No one is blaming or making claim to DLA or GP that they have mis-represented their products. No one has any expectation that DLA or GP have any liability in this issue. No one questions the terms of the sale. They have protected themselves with the "hold...

    Bad News Georgia HMMWV Owners

    Can you please explain what the person selling the vehicle has to do with registering it? Are you saying that they are experts? Does DLA or GP have anything at all to do with a state DMV? Using your flawed logic I could write "off road use" on a Honda civic and therefore no one would ever be...
