    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Sorry, bad language. I should've written "changed the oil pan drain plug gasket" That would've made more sense.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Changed the oil pan gasket. Used a copper thing I got from Kascar and it dripped. Class III drip. Even torqued up to 25 ft-lbs. Got one of these: Dorman 097-021 Oil Metal/Rubber Drain Plug Gasket 1/2" Fits 1/2, M12, M12 So Had a spare 12.5mm bolt handy, lost an ounce or two of oil (I'd...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    So keep the mount that's on the truck now, pull the mount off the 242? Save it for a paperweight?

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Got parts on order (thanks to 86Humv). Another question, this one regarding the adapter assembly, pu NSN 2520011757220 listed as part #1 on page 103-1 for my truck M1038 (UOC H14). The part is ALSO listed as NSN 2520014641774 for other models. What I've got now is the first, bolted between my...

    You mean the lever AT the TC? Or by the driver?

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Thanks. I DID that, but on a different search engine. I haven't used google for searches in years. Got tired of it feeding me bogus headlines/suggested threads and irrelevant links - especially for things political (last year, I did a search for "Hillary Clinton is" on a handful of major...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Very helpful, I think. I'll go over this today/tonight. I'd like to get the parts and get this job done and buttoned up soonest. RWH mentioned "UOC" which is also helpful, but we're talking apples and oranges here. A 1992 M1038 came with an NP218 T/C. If you plug in a later model NP242 T/C...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    This is such a common topic - and I've searched this forum, hummerknowledgebase, G503, "the innerwebs" - you'd think there would be doctrine, a TB or MWO somewhere, or at the very least a table with transmission, T/C and matching shafts , one from column A, one from column B, plug and play. Or...

    np242 drive shaft help needed.

    Hate to resurrect an old post, but I'm doing this same thing, just picked up the 242 this morning up in Philly. I'm at a loss to tell which shafts I'll need. Did you ever sort this out? Norm (just down the street from you).

    Width to outside of wheels

    Good price, even a ten day round trip would be less than the (roughly) $1000 being quoted for shipment. Would still need to borrow a friend's dually (my Tacoma just isn't going to do it, even with the tow package). But which fender? You mean the trailer's, right? I'm not dense, I just...

    29" wing span is YUGE. Pretty cool.

    Thanks. Ordered the TC a few minutes ago, won't know which shafts I'll need until I pick it up in a few days. I'll let you know. NB

    Transfer case broken

    Thanks everyone for the input/help. One more question. Searching the parts books for the NP242, PN 21908 NSN 2520-01-409-2512. Searching this website for details on which propeller shafts to use. HPG says PN 12447113, doesn't show up in parts books 24P-1 or 2. Anyone know exactly which...
