    Civilian CV boot part number

    Personally....I don't bother replacing CV boots. You can get a half shaft for so cheap its not worth the labor. amd if it's an outer boot, forget it, you have to replace both anyway. if it's the newer A2 HS is takes a plastic type boot, not the old rubber version easily torn. They are not...

    Rear fender mount ac condenser???

    I have done factory air and red dots...and have been asked to do this same conversion, I declined, due in part that the customer would be paying for me to learn. Attached to that condensor is the dryer, a harness runs to the Evap unit in the passenger compartment where the old heater core and...

    New 86 HMMWV owner. Took delivery Sunday after 3 months wait- won't start

    No fuel at the IJ lines down at the injectors means fuel shutoff solenoid not energized. The pump gets fuel from the fuel pump that is manual on side if the engine....clicking you hear is very well the cold advance solenoid. turn the key, plug and unplug the fuel cutoff connector, then you you...

    1990 6.2 hmmwv idle issues

    Cold advance will do nothing of the sort, possible a sticking accel pedal, or pump armeture. Change your fuel filter as well. very very possible a bad IJ pump...disconnect the accel cable at the pump via the C- clip. Manually operate it from there.

    questions on buying a hummer?

    Hmmwv parts are more plentiful then almost any other mil truck on the market at this time. Prices range from rediculous to cheap and plentiful. Many many parts are commercially available from local auto parts stores.

    questions on buying a hummer?

    HP is not what makes HMMWV's what they are ...it's Torque, Geared hubs, diff gearing....not sure where the high maint comes from, my trucks don't, at least no more then any military vehicle I have ever owned. proper PMCS will usually keep you from getting stranded on the side of the road.

    questions on buying a hummer?

    The answer to your price question....NO, Not with a possible bad engine. As far as the myriad of other questions...I suggest going a Google search, going on AM Gens website....

    HMMWV impounded

    And I have a black helicopter fying over my house...Jeeze folks. Now we are on GP taxation, do your homework...GL has done this for years, ANY business operating in the state of Calif selling tangible property MUST pay sales tax...I'm a business owner, I even have to charge sales tax on items I...

    HMMWV impounded

    GP had no idea....a fort Irwin unit misplaced the truck at some point and during a turn in it was discovered they didn't have a specific SN'd truck...reported it stolen after going through a search of units and motor pools etc...lots and lots of unit rotate in and out of Fort Irwin, could have...

    HMMWV impounded

    Dave...this is why it's called a SNAFU....your theory is probaby 99% correct.....we loose crap all the time, misplaced, then we are bound to report it to security forces.

    55,250 dollar lol

    I remember going to naval air station alameda and open bidding with a paddle...as well as just flat out making a deal with the rep with no bidding at all! Deals were plentiful...it's one of the downsides of the Internet. i remember having to drive and search for parts or wait for meets to go...

    give it a rest already...your clearly one of the few unhappy campers, not sure how long you have been doing this, but maybe it's not for you? Buy a jeep at a dealership, this way you can test drive. These are 30 old ex military trucks driven by 18yr old kids with the mentaity of " it ain't...

    55,250 dollar lol

    And that is really why I made the original statement, Plane just did a better job of it. probably more out of frustration of just not being able to add it all up...so human nature takes over and interjects. I think GP does a good Job, far superior to GL, but not in all areas. The SF97 issue is...
