    Hard steering

    Start with basics. Belts ok? Did you check fluid level? If fluid ok and no air then pump is my thought. bad hydroboost will give rock hard brake pedal. Box will usually leak from seals or have sloppy loose feel to stg wheel if internal worn components. Could be seizing up but that is not the...

    M1102

    If that spacer is rivited in, you will have a major job if you go in that direction. Those rivets used on the frame/body of the m1101 are a pia....

    M1088A1 CAT C7 starter went out in Ann Arbor, MI - already towed to safety.

    Awesome Job and thanks for pitching in! Just curious on the specifics of the tow straps you used? Impressed the 2 held up to that load!

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Yes Sir, I think we will be ok in New Orleans / Baton Rouge but folks toward Lake Charles and Houston need to "Be Prepared" as my profession dictates...... Possible Cat 3 in that area is nothing to dismiss lightly.....

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Southern Metals was a literal treasure trove in Wilmington, NC. They no longer have the military scrapping contract for hmmwv's for a few years now so I doubt they have anything left at this point. If you are in the area, they do have a nice warehouse/retail store with lots of metal products...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Luckily Marco left us alone so I took advantage of the beautiful day to install the fuel tank shield of the undercarriage protection system. Pretty straight forward, loosen 2 screws with a deep 9/16 , straps hang down, insert plate and re-bolt. I was by my self and had trouble holding the tank...

    Installed the dual oil filter kit AMG 57k4411 that I had for a few years now.......that I got from Amtak $40 on ebay who is also a member. These were installed for the sandbox and Saudi trucks from what I read. There is also another kit for the sandbox with a 2nd fuel filter housing with a finer...

    HMMWV Steering Wheel Puller

    black one fits in place of the green one easily. You can use the free rental tool from O'reilly's. No special puller needed. Pictures and details on my thread: see post 109 https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/juans-m998-hmmwv.157259/page-6 After I did mine, Someone posted a picture of the...

    Red River Parts a Equip.

    It has been a few years, but I found them to be helpful, prices ok, and good folks to deal with. They showed me around somewhat and the bulk of their business at the time was foreign sales. Yard was full of goodies...

    about a dozen 1990's M1097A1 HMMWV's in Arizona for sale on GSA auctions

    Did not know know what they were called . I think I remember the s-788 tm having the mounting hardware and illustrations for the hmmwv application.

    about a dozen 1990's M1097A1 HMMWV's in Arizona for sale on GSA auctions

    Aren't gp hmmwv's stamped off road also except usmc units? Easy to get around if needed. Those 2 man with gen sets or transfer switches? have a neat frame and extension over the airlift bumper. Cut out tailgates also .Also have a nice spreadsheet on each one as a mini inspection. I suspect...

    Buck converter to step 24v down to 12v to run LED headlights?

    unidentified towed object

    The m101 tm manual will be the one you need. The bare chassis is m116. Many beds used in this series over the m116 chassis. I posted the latest here on ss in the trailer tm section. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tm-9-2330-202-13p-m101-trailer-dec-30-2011-revision.119178/

    New M1123 Owner intro and question

    I don't think you will get any traction on the iron clad guarantee since there is a picture and it stated they could not "operationally checked".... I believe a fellow member Gimpy Rob had intakes for sale if I recall.... Beltfed on ebay normally has pumps which might work as a core to send off...

    m998 led headlight issue

    My guess is the led anti flick gizmos were not 24v? Are the lights 24v? Charging should be 27.8 -28.4 Load test each battery first after checking voltage and charging if needed. Start with basics.
