    HMMWV sand color paint can tell its history? Were they all painted green first at AMG

    I believe HMMWVs only came tan from the factory starting in the mid-90s. I hope to be corrected if I am wrong. Basically all of what GP is selling is a repaint after manufacture.

    Looks like piece of a bearing cage. Something is about to come unglued.

    Won an LMTV M1081 out of Ft. Bragg

    That will be the second GP FMTV found to have crossed hoses due to mistakes made by someone within the military! "Sarge, this one cannot be fixed, send it to DRMO."

    If anybody is looking for a parts Otter in conus, PM me, there is one near me that was used as a playground structure and is available for purchase I think. It has bad track and has extra holes cut in the sides.

    M353 MICLIC Trailer vismod build (rocket launcher)

    Well, went to look at the Houston MICLIC and although I know nothing about MICLICs, it was apparent this box is designed for explosives. I was just supposed to recon this for the OP, but like any good hoarder would, I went ahead and snagged it, "just in case". Since the box was sealed up with...

    1944 MB and GPW barn finds

    Oh yes, titles are easily obtained, unmolested original Jeeps are not. I have done numerous bonded titles on barn find Jeeps, it is worth it for something as valuable are these are.

    1944 MB and GPW barn finds

    Looking forward to seeing them. If there is still original finish and markings, you are correct, get some opinions here and at G503 on whether or not to do a restoration. Most need it.

    What Alternator is This?

    To add, that is the old school 100 amp alternator made by Leece Neville. The new style 100 amp alternator is made by C. E. Niehoff. The older type is reliable. The HMMWV came with the 60 amp alternator, which is shared with the 5 ton. Shelter carrier and ambulance HMMWVs came with the 100...

    How many amps of 12 volt do you get? I could not find this info.

    General/frequent problems with the AM General HMMWV

    Seems like the 218 transfer cases were not up to the demanding conditions in Iraq. Lots of 242s got swapped in with the mechanics working in sand. Also, some of the GM 6.5 NA engines had issues, but most of them have been replaced already as well.

    M353 MICLIC Trailer vismod build (rocket launcher)

    I think I know of one in Houston. Is the box made of steel? This one is. EDIT: is this it?

    How To Repair HMMWV EESS S3

    I believe the reason there have been so many design iterations of pcbs is that the early designs failed repeatedly. Fixing the early boxes will just get you down the road a while until it fails again.

    Which one do i have 6.2 or 6.5?

    Looks like a fire breathin' u-joint snappin' 6.5.

    Which one do i have 6.2 or 6.5?

    Press "go advanced" then " manage attachments". Isn't it oil pump drive clamp on driver's side is 6.2, passenger is 6.5.

    MPG loaded, m915 vs M916 vs M920 ?

    Cat made the 16 speed 7155, Northrop Grumman rebuilt them at Ft. Polk. Far better idea to transplant a Fuller manual transmission from a parted modern truck with the same Detroit you have.

    2005 M1083A1 won't turn off

    Does your truck have those toggle switches under the cab near the alternator, and are they off?

    Won a LMTV today, possible electrical issues.

    Googleimage "LMTV war pig". These were used in 'stan to resupply the GMV HMMWVs on long range special operations.

    Won a LMTV today, possible electrical issues.

    Yours is extra special because of the airdrop cab. I was looking at it but have too many trucks already. I paid $5k for mine with winch, non runner. It just needed a slave start.
