    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    I’m in Georgia and when I purchased my 1123 April of 2020 my euc cleared in January 2021 after I proved they were lying and failed to submit my paperwork for approval. Even had DLA and TSC involved in a nasty investigation. Long story short, picked truck up in January, just 10 days after DLA and...

    A Few Questions

    Okay, I’d check fuses next I’m not sure which one it is, and also go under hood and remove the TIM box located high on firewall. It may be toast and you can confirm by removing and disassembling to see if the board inside is smoked Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Few Questions

    My hubs average 145+, and once you get up to temp they along with your axles will “howl”. The hotter it gets, the more the noise. Especially driving near non-stop from cali to georgia mine were LOUD. Since you just purchased this truck, I’d highly advise changing all 6 hubs gear oil, and...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    Well boys she’s painted! Have to install the new oil pressure gauge, wiper arms and blades, clean the windows and perform a post-paint detailing but it looks like new money compared to what it was. Painted with Behr Exterior house paint sprayed from a HVLP gun. Total cost? $200. Used a...

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    No system is completely air tight, and humidity is one of the most common infiltration methods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dot5 or DOT 3/4/5.1

    To my knowledge, dot 5 exaggerates wheel cylinder failure. Dot 3/4/5.1 all absorb water and hold it in suspension, but Dot 5 rejects it and allows it to settle in the lowest point (wheel cylinders). Then it sits there until it ruins the cylinder and brake failure occurs. This is an issue because...

    Air Lockers Not Working

    When you mash the lockup button, is the lights lighting up on the dash? If not, your lights may be bad but lockup may still occur. With truck aired up and shutoff, turn ignition to “run” but do not actually crank it, then mash the lockup button 3 times, all 3 lockup lights should come on. Does...

    Catastrophic tire failures?

    XL’s are the main issue, it even got to a point where the military was swapping XL’s off the front axle of M939 trucks for safety. I think it’s a combination of age and other factors. someone may come along and correct me but the newest XL’s are mid to late 90s production. Then, being used on...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The way I understand it, a run flat should not move, the lubricant is to prevent near immediate tire failure and separation allowing temporary limp home/out of combat by allowing the rubber to stay cool rubbing against itself. I blew a 14.00 with a run flat in it and no lubricant and the heat...

    Painting m998

    Going through the exact same thing now, was painting mine with rattle can rapco and hated the overspray splotch, so I bought a HVLP gun and behr outdoor house paint and went to town. Taped off a bunch, and love this paint so much more. Although I’ll say your rapco job looks very nice! I just...
