    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    I got mine off of fleabay and I am sure it would fit all but the turbo trucks. EDIT, any kit you buy will likely be old stock, I had some difficulty with the double sided tape that was provided, in hind sight I should have just replaced it with new 3M stuff but I already had the hood off so I...

    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    If you get it be aware that crate will not likely be properly secured, the person picking it up will need the secure the lid on the crate.

    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    I agree, you should be able to get a hood locally, you are in one of the two hot spots for surplus HMMWVs

    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    I have installed the reinforcing kit on one truck that had no cracks, still no cracks, have no idea if that is why but the "kit" seems like a good idea!

    Are there essentially only 2 different hoods?

    AFAIK there are only two different hoods. the NA hood and the turbo (two piece) hood.

    Cv axles

    OK, so I got the DuraVee up on the lift today and the failure was not what I expected, the boot simply slipped off of the flange. I could have just put more grease in it and a new clamp but I wanted to see how the Summit half shafts compared and it is pretty clear they are from the same...

    HMMWV Fastener Finish?

    HMMWV Fastener Finish?

    I have toyed with the thought of Parkerizing the fasteners for my FAV project, the process is pretty easy and I am already set up for gun refinishing. The process infuses oil into the surface of the metal giving it a tough and fairly corrosion resistant finish. The only issue is the metal must...

    Restoration of FAV #0010

    Come to think, I have something very similar out in one of my barns, mid century metal working tool that the wife picked up at auction and it came with a bunch of dies, now to try and find it though... I can't remember the brand but it was still being made and many dies were available. That...

    HMMWV in limp mode no trans light

    This is what you needed to troubleshoot the power issue to the TCM, it is unfortunate you did not start with this before randomly swapping all those expensive parts.

    Restoration of FAV #0010

    The problem is the radius is so small, I have a bender like that and it will not come close, this kind of radius needs a mega buck mandrill bender.

    LOL I meant the bolts...

    Advice Please: Planning 4L80 Conversion

    The bolts from the pipes to the manifolds and all the flanges on the exhaust system are simple nuts and bolts so if you get in a bind they can be cut with a saws-all (if you can get to the ones you need to cut) or a torch, there are no "slip fit" pipes so that will not be an issue, should be no...

    Restoration of FAV #0010

    The dash come out nice, not perfect but is was hand made so it was not perfect to begin with. Got the wind knocked out of my sails a little bit today when I discovered my favorite "will cut to any size" iron shop only carried pipe not DOM tubing. I did find some online and went ahead and bought...

    Lithium battery recharger for M998

    It used to be a normal charge voltage was 13.8V for a 12V battery, that has changed over the years to around 14.2V so normal would be around 28.4V today

    Lithium battery recharger for M998

    Slightly above 24V is no good, you should be seeing around 28-29V HOLY MOLY $500 for a delco alternator what a ripoff

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Unless you are over heating I would leave well enough alone.

    Lithium battery recharger for M998

    Are you on a "trip" if so turn everything off and conserve power until you get home.

    Lithium battery recharger for M998

    Well, how many volts is it charging? if you do not have a voltmeter get one, they are cheap, everyone should have one, I keep one and an OBD II reader/programmer in every vehicle I own in the HMMWVs I keep them wrapped in plastic in the battery box. (most will not need the OBD II) But to answer...

    Lithium battery recharger for M998

    Are you are pulling 12V off of one battery for the "peripherals" or do you have an inverter?
