    Geared Hub drain, inspect and fill. How to?

    FWIW, if the truck went through reset, the spindle nuts were changed out to the new style...another tell tale sign is red RTV on the steering arm cover....I really only encounter the old single tab spindle nuts on the 99 auction trucks. the newer 2 tab nut was an MWO and was required to be...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I have a few 218's in the shop...do you just want the case or the entire assy? These would pay require opening and resealing the case and new seals. Can't vouch for the cooler loop either.

    Are you mad that the gov is selling HMMWVs?

    The value of the GP trucks is comparable to 99 auction trucks...a lot of that due to the fact they are titled. here in my neck of the woods, I'm seeing HMMWV's selling for 11-14k, with tax and final valuation fees, that truck is approaching the price of what I was paying for 99 auction...

    Update...OP called me....nice guy. After along conversation, we are good. Don't want to go into detail out of respect for his wishes, which I fully understand. Suffice to say, he has been around along time in this business.

    1983 Govplanet Hummervee

    Well, being your probably the worst picture taker on the forum...it's no wonder. As another member pointed out, take pics of the truck and associated areas. You posted pics of a fuel sender cover, hinges, data plate etc... you talked about non folding windshields.....then, out of no where you...

    A2 fuel tank question

    It gets a threaded pipe plug....same plug as what's on your differential. from the factory they have a plug and then RTV squeezed all over it for good measure.

    1983 Govplanet Hummervee

    Rare indeed....the first production Hmmwv came off the assembly line in 1985.... Do not and I repeat do not start and try to make this truck into a production truck....keep it true. Everything and anything you do to that truck that is not OEM, will only devalue it....no cutting, grinding and...

    1983 Govplanet Hummervee

    All the windshields use the same leafs... they all have the capability to fold down...they are mounted on 3 forward pivots and 2 rears left and right that the pins get removed...slantback has a fixed plate inside instead of the removable pin as it can't fold down due to the roof...but it's the...

    8 bolt hmmwv wheels

    Because the rim was not designed to run without them. The bead area is a different angle then what's on a standard rim that allows the bead to seat. I have shop tires I put on 12bolt rims, if they go flat, they literally fall off the bead just sitting...not the case of a normal auto rim, you can...

    what is the difference between hmmwv wheels

    let me muddy the water even further...they are 2 versions of 12 bolt, early and late style, late style can be spotted by the addition of a lone centering hole, they also have galvanized studs, use the red O-ring and 1 piece run flat. the "early version of the 12bolt used No centering hole, used...

    Plastic gasket in Hub?

    correct...the procedure is in the TM, it requires a feeler gauge. one way to tell if its too tight is to rotate the spindle after you torque the 4 bolts, it should spin freely. I have torqued them and had it tight, add a shim and its spins freely. the book shows only 1 thickness, but I've found...

    8 bolt hmmwv wheels

    You MUST have run flats or bead locks on all HMMWV rims...very dangerous not to have them.
