In Calif. when you first register the home built vehicle or kit car, you need to show them where the engine came from. If it came from a 1986 diesel chevy truck, that's what emissions it well be required to conform to. There are other things too, some of which are in an attempt to be shure that...

The Later HMMWV Geared Hub Assys do have the hole through the Wheel Spindle and through the Steering Arm. They are not used though and are plugged so just because the late type Geared Hub Assy was installed on your vehicle, dosen't mean that they were used in conjunction with the rest of the...

EMR, that Humvee driver was a victim of the top secret anti theft feature, which makes the Humvee get stuck and only pressure on the brake and throttle at the same time will get it moving again. I have a friend that has an M37, with front and rear lockers and it perfoms well, but it diden't do...

I agree that driving that humvee off road and even into the mudhole is good training. Not everyone has off road or dirt road driving experience and there is nothing like doing something to get a feel for it. That Humvee is a tool to be used. Go at it!

I haven't seen any Humvee Versions of the Baja T/A available, but they do use that same name on some tires that they make. It might be a Built for Military only tire, because of the 16.5 rim size.

A four door is even better! I'm making my humvee into something that will look similar to your Hummer. I found out that AMG put some civi tops on some humvees. One model was the M1097 Cargo Troop which what mine will pretty much look like, except that I will sometimes have a Snugtop rear cargo...

Stalwart, I really like your Hummer! In my opinion it's fully deserving of being one of the vehicles on your list of vehicles. I had heard that some CARC Green Hummers had been built, but I had never even seen a foto of one. Your's looks like a two man version. Is that what it is?

31% mileage improvement by simply installing a transfercase that has a two wheel drive range. I don't believe it for a second.

I think adding in ABS would be a pain. Why not just put in an adjustible brake proportioning valve in the line going to the rear brakes? You can get them fairly cheaply now and is way easier to do than adding ABS.

I think that's what it is. It looks like the rear one (upper in the foto) is not in place.

As mentioned before, the short wheelbase of the M1009 is not a benefit when towing. If the M1008 were to blow a front tire, it would pull the tail of the M1009 to that side fairly easily, since the heavy front end of the m1008 will overpower the tail of the M1009. At a slow speed it may be...

I've had good luck using 12 volt LL "long Life" bulbs for trailers that get CUCV and Humvee usage.

Actually, applied hydraulic pressure disengages the clutch.

Use something like dynamat. It works wonders. I used some cheap stuff on my M1009 and Dynamat on my Humvee. It makes a real big difference. Three layers on the floor pan towards the front and as far back as you want to go or can afford to go, because this stuff can be expensive. In the inner...

Yes It does have A/C. I'll be checking on it's charge pretty soon.

I have put in two Tan bench seats from another Crew Cab Air Force truck. I have also installed a new high quality Brown Carpet.

I don't know if this is the best forum to post this, but it seems close enough. After years of ownership, I have finally started up the truck. When I got it, It was complete, except for missing the carb and air cleaner. I sold off the utility body to the Paduka, Ky. Fire Dept and bought an NOS...

They may have been sold as scrap metal by the theif.

You can pull the glow plugs and look for glycol. It may have overheated and blown a head gasket, so I'd do a compression check and look for glycol in the oil too.

PWB, That's an interesting conversion. I infact may be doing exactly the opposite, because I have decided to sell my Crash Rescue truck and I haven't started the engine yet and it may have a problem with it. I'll know after this weekend. Will the accessories with their brackets fit back and...
