    HMMWV acquisition and rebuild

    Hopefully is ain't a body harness that is effed up...if so, just replace it....really, you will be much happier in the long run. rear main seal used to be 2 pieces of wax impregnated rope....now they are a modern tough rubber material. you have to drop the starter, drop the oil pan, remove oil...

    HMMWV acquisition and rebuild

    Does not sound bad....leaky rear main is common till you get the new 2 piece seal installed. No front lights? Check light switch setting or a bad switch...assuming wire harness good. not sure why this would have a toggle switch....EESS and TSU should work for you....post a pics of the engine bay...

    Ran out of fuel on a HMMWV

    crack open the Hard line with a Flare wrench at the Fuel Pump..crank the motor and make sure you are getting fuel into and out of the Pump. move forward from there...pull off the inlet hose to the Fuel Filter, if your still good,move to the Outlet side and remove that hose to the IJ Pump and...

    Help with ideas for picking up my newly purchased M923a2

    Why not have the guy where it is stored drive it to an airport where you can fly in? He can have a chase car pick him up and drive him home. You could pay him for his time and fuel...just an option....or have him pick you up at an airport.

    shorty bed on m931A2

    if that's the case, cutting down a deuce bed or a m023 bed is a better option, less work IMHO. i picked up my 923 beds for 500.00 ea.

    shorty bed on m931A2

    yes, I don't think it looks right...not to scale unless you do a lot of additions to the fender wells. but everyone has a different idea of what looks good......I saw the truck on eBay a few weeks back too. i personally have done 2 M931's and would only do them with eight an M35 bed or an M923...

    Trade a 84 936 for a 97 Hummer

    I good HMMWV body is 5-10k....just depends how lucky you get, but that's the hardest part to find. The rest can be found rather easily. As Kansasbobcat stated, the cost of a build up for a Hummer/hmmwv is quite pricey. i do really nothing else in my shop, 500hrs on a frame off is normal and...

    M 936 Hydraulic temperature sensor?

    That appears to be the same temp sending unit as installed in the HMMWV, it's for the Engine temp Gauge. so unlike the cold advance and Thermal switch in the water crossover that are normally closed, this TSU just sends the signal, gauge requires 24v and ground.

    How Many M939 Trucks Available Through GL This Year? Next Year?

    Been wondering the same....the only thing I can add Is that I have been converting 931's and 2's to short beds. it takes about 40hrs labor to cut and mend a bed, then mount it,secure weld new brackets amd paint. Adding all the lighting correctly is another 6-8 hrs plus all the parts, wire...
