    Advise needed for MEP-018A

    What’s great about those is it’s easy to convert them to natural gas fuel. A real good option during most power outages.

    Hello! Would love help identifying these bucket seats.

    Welcome. Those are bucket seats for the WWII open cab weapons carriers, I’m not smart enough to say 1/2 or 3/4 ton, but the guys at Vintage Power Wagons will know and likely will be interested in buying what you have.

    Simp's M915A1 Build Thread

    Better do some measuring with that, I had the exact same plan, put a 916 winch platform on a 915, found out the trailer will hit it . . . had to abandon the plan.

    Cat 3116 lost oil and started knocking

    If your driveshafts don’t pass the “hinge test” which is basically zero discernible movement up and down at the spline, your best option is to bring them to a drivetrain specialist and have them replace worn components.

    Determine year of trailer

    M100 or M1000? M100 was made in the 50’s.

    Cat 3116 lost oil and started knocking

    Many stories on here of failed LMTV engines due to broken oil lines, which are caused by the way by vibration caused by driveshaft spline wear. If you are not a DIYer it’s a matter of doing the math. Very likely the crank is scored up already, which makes an inframe not an option.

    Small battery like cylinder on back of alternator?

    Noise suppression capacitor, put it back. Prevents the enemy from radio locating the vehicle from electrical noise transmission.

    Yes they are.

    7.3 powerstroke swap

    Bad idea. Won't fit without brutal whacking and hacking. Fix your I6, those engines power the deuce like a raped ape. We just drove these two 1500 miles all over England, France and Belgium with zero breakdowns.

    '42 GPW script Navy jeep

    I think that is inaccurate. Navy would have painted everything visible gray. Probably not under the hood but for sure the wheels and protruding frame/bumper.

    Help ID a part.

    Put your cover back on the air hydraulic unit or rain will enter through the muffler, I learned the hard way.

    Mission Impossible..(?)

    We tried to restore a tank that had been sitting on the beach once. I used a needle scaler to break off the rust. The steel plates that remained were half the original thickness. It was a lost cause.

    Has anyone done an in-frame 3116 rebuild?

    My guess was moisture in the crankcase from sitting. The blowby was possibly water vapor.

    Has anyone done an in-frame 3116 rebuild?

    I had major blowby until I changed the clean appearing engine oil. Blowby gone. Worth a shot.

    Where to buy electric components to fix M998/HMMWV PCB boxes?

    Naomi Wu is the Chinese electronics industry poster child. That's her in the middle.

    Where to buy electric components to fix M998/HMMWV PCB boxes?

    Newark is one vendor. Good luck, not having any luck diagnosing mine.

    Information needed on Banks "power" setup

    HMMWVs have plenty of weak points but I never thought the 4L80E was one of them.

    Information needed on Banks "power" setup

    I don’t think Banks sold any of those upgrades to Uncle.

    Hmmwv serial # / year of manufacture list

    That is incorrect, that is the body number not the serial number.

    M35A2 Rims scrap price

    Big big NO NO to put tires in the trash, dumpster owner could get a huge fine and back charged for fishing those out of the refuse truck, tires need to be dismounted and properly recycled, costs me $6.00 a tire here in TX.
