    Hmmwv Fuel Issue after IP replacement

    Bloody hell. 1,800 is the cheapest/best option for a replacement? I hope my stuff lasts awhile. Really an unusual vehicle to have the opportunity to experience. Worth every penny if you still have pennies left.

    Pulley squeak

    I’m willing to learn. It was a total shitshow! I have never ever had any problems with a simple belt change but I couldn’t get it off any other way. It’s embarrassing to admit. I did want to remove air cleaner anyways because during the de mil process they moved my coolant tank to where I only...

    Pulley squeak

    Got the new belt on today. What a pain it was. I had to take the fender liner out and the air cleaner off to get the tool in to release the tensioner. Probably could’ve done it without all that if I had a little help. Squeak is gone and that’s all that matters. Next is gasket on top of the tank...

    HMMWV Insurance help please

    Might be worth a phone call. I was under the impression that they insure sports cars and motorcycles and whatever’s unusual and I didn’t think they had a age limit/ minimum. I have appointment on December 6th for DMV and hopefully I will have my title by then. I will start driving it on the 28th...

    HMMWV Insurance help please

    Mine is a 2002. Did you do the online quote? It’s my understanding that military vehicles are separate and don’t have any year restrictions. The girl on the phone ran everything and said it went thru with no issues. Maybe because mine is so close to 20 years old?

    Pulley squeak

    I eyeballed the pulleys and I will give them a wiggle and roll when I change the belt. I found it the TM and I am above 196,??? I don’t have ac but I have the bracket and a pulley where I believe it goes. Said I needed the 112” belt. I couldn’t find a number on my belt anywhere and now I can’t...

    Pulley squeak

    That pulley/belt and fan system scare me to death while running. I had rather change the belt than get that close to it with soap in hand. I will see if I can find the tensioner for a decent price and change it also while I’m in there.

    Pulley squeak

    I was being funny. I agree and it will be here Friday. It’s from 2002 just like my tires and air filter.

    Pulley squeak

    It’s like a bunch of V’s but all together. I did check alignment and tensioner looked to be in the middle of travel. I was thinking belt was bad from sitting wrapped around the smallest pulley for 20 years. Probably not a bad idea to replace anyways

    Pulley squeak

    I go get a automotive stethoscope and I about burst my eardrums put it on. I thought I got this now. I touched every pulley and all were about the same noise level. Still can’t find the squeak. I thought I will take the belt off and spin pulleys and see if I can find it. I couldn’t get the belt...

    Pulley squeak

    I have a pulley squeak and it works like a tachometer. I have been chasing it for about a week. It was fine when I got it and out of nowhere it starts. It’s driving me crazy and I can’t find it. Can’t post video here for some reason

    Why are Fording Switches Removed?

    I have seen some that are really bad and it had to take longer to make a mess like that then removing 2 bolts. I don’t understand because that’s a part of the firewall and forms the cowling for the engine cover. You think they have a training course for it? No don’t hold your ax like that hold...

    Why are Fording Switches Removed?

    I hate the hole and I ordered the switch and plate with bolts, nuts and washers for 26.00 from Kascar. I want to make it functional at some point.

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    I would be happy with the factory bulb. I don’t think I need anything brighter. I tried the federal led dash light bulb in it but it didn’t work. I might have a problem other than bulb.

    Is this the right seat belt kit to go 2 man to 4 man?

    I was really wanting the tunnel insulation for the rear

    Is this the right seat belt kit to go 2 man to 4 man?

    I was looking at the same kit from the same place. I don’t want green seat belts. I don’t have any experience with that site but I would’ve ordered it if it had black belts. If you read ad closely it says for the passenger behind the driver. I didn’t really understand if that included everything...

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    I think the best thing to do is check/ change fluids and drive the piss out of them. Mine has been sitting forever and the more I drive it better it gets.

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Mine stayed the same when it didn’t have CDR and with new CDR. Gov planet just removed CDR and stuck hose inside of hose.

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    I got 60psi cold and 40psi at 210 degrees. I’m fine with that. Im happy with it. I would not want less.

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    This is what’s needed for the center of the turn signal indicator? Mine doesn’t work and I’m looking for a replacement bulb
