    New to looking for a HMMWV and a few questions

    Odometers mean nothing in the military.....if you wanted to buy a truck from me, I could ask you "how many miles do you want the speedo to say" I have boxes of NOS speedos, they are changed out like toilet paper. You have no idea what they did at the reset yard or unit. Due diligence....check...

P=27 park, low, W=71 washer G=57 grnd sounds like maybe your motor is bad....but as other have stated, clean those contact connectors under the Ws frame. also, I don't use those connectors anymore, I wire...

    New to looking for a HMMWV and a few questions

    Even if you win a 4 man with top, a lot of the doors are torn up already. So you will end up buying doors and maybe a top anyway. I don't buy a truck based on its setup, I buy based on miles and overall condition, 4man, 2 man, tops or no tops and doors...that's all add on stuff, the condition of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If you wanted to really teach them a lessen, you would have called the police, and they would have impounded the car and gave her a tkt. Instead, she will keep driving and possibly do worse to someone else. I have had happen to me, what happened to you, and I called the PD....what did they do...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    In California you would owe her a new car...your ins company would pay out to her, regardless due to whos at fault. your HMMWV repair would be covered under your policy as well...don't get me started on uninsured motorist. thats seems to be the norm here in California.

    Turbo questions Need help with newer 6.5NA motor

    the short answer is no...an NA block is not drilled for the oil galley for the rear mounted turbo. The casting is there, just not the hole. Let me add, a GM NA motor doesn't even have the casting, the GEP motors do. i do and have done numerous NA and Turbo conversions here in the shop. the new...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I suspect the stabilizer bar and Rod end is tweaked, that's a lot of force to bend a steering arm cover. i had a truck in that had similar...check the ball joints, upper and lower control arms and worse, check the cross members where the lower control arm mounts, in my case, the welds were...

    Anyone Install A Regular Receiver Hitch on an HMMWV??

    The new style hitch was designed because they added an aux fuel tank on the 96 and above H1. thr older style filled the area with support bars where they put the fuel tank. the 98 and above H1 have no inner or outer support bars, just the inner and outer mounting blocks.

    1992 M998 First Time HMMWV

    yea, get rid of that box real quick, those are not supposed to be in the system anymore, they caused phantom starts and fires. Just call kascar and talk with them....they have what you need, warrant the items they sell and know HMMWV's.

    M998 brush guard

    Both are current type used...tubular brushguard and bumper. i have never seen a winch on that plate, the milemarker uses its own plate. the setup you have pictured does not allow for a winch as it does not have the frame rail ext's. The book does not call it winch plate but. Bumper.

    6.2L Wait to start light not coming on

    Is the t-case in neutral? i frankly don't use green labels, they don't require a TSU in the water crossover, all the other EESS's do...find a yellow label or S3 EESS. TSU Won't make it smoke, at least I've never seen one do it. check all your plugs too....

    Montana off-road title any get it?

    I can bet you the only reason they are offered with off road titles was to placate DLA on the whole idea of selling these trucks to civilians. We're it not for that, we wouldnt be having this conversation. most of you bitched and complained that the government should be selling them to us...
