    Bumper number decipher

    Duh...I cant believe I didn't see that. I sanded the front numbers first and got fixated on it being a Q. Did the hood a week later and didn't put the 95Q and 950 together

    Wheel Alignment

    Pretty thorough write up...but the string alignment method is only good enough to get you safely to the alignment shop. These things need a good four wheel alignment to save your tires and handle properly.

    thunk thunk knock knock in left rear????

    Since it is most prominent in forward gear, I thought first about u-joints in the driveshaft. And second, the carrier bearing in the driveshaft. I'd start there. work downstream toward the hub contraption.

    Humvee summer question

    One main reason for the folding windshield was to be able to deploy the M40 Recoilless Rifle. The B pillar is also removable and stows behind the seat. The US decided to go with the TOW system for our anti-tank HMMWV but some of our step-children may only be trusted with older stuff. As far...

    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    I went with trucklite headlites as I like the look of them. If I wasnt, I would find some Cibie "E-code" H4 conversion lights. Hella is dot crap nowadays I used to run hella E-codes that weren't bad, but Cibies throw light better IMO

    Difference in HUMMWV Designations

    From what I've read, it seems like the easiest way to ID a four speed machine in somebody's pics is look at the shifter knobs... Four speed trans with P and OD... Three speed no Park

    M35A3 3-Color Camo Brown

    Ive noticed this different brown, too. I originally thought it was just faded CARC brown but it seems like it matches others with the same off brown. I want to keep mine as original as possible but i dont like the mismatch to the correct brown on the canvas.

    M998, 6.2, 3 speed, lost power and fluid leak from air filter!!

    Off the top of my head, I would think that a leaking trans output shaft seal could do the same thing sending ATF downstream
