    Rear fender dimensions m1165a1

    Thank you. I’m not sure how much variation there is in the difference tops, maybe there’s none. My top ends about centered on the fuel filler neck.

    Rear fender dimensions m1165a1

    I’m away visiting family for the summer, so I can’t get these measurements. And we need to buy a new cooler, one of those expensive yeti style ones. Id like a cooler to fit up above the rear tire, strapped down on top of the fender. So if someone could tell me the width of the fender...

    REV overheating - normal?

    I had a chance to get the truck out yesterday. I drove it 20 mins accross town, kept it idling and felt the rad hose. I could squeeze it for a good 4 Mississippi before it was too hot to tolerate. I didn’t know if it had heated up enough, I put the truck in second gear and drove another 10...

    REV overheating - normal?

    Forgive me for the newbie questions. But the TM says to “feel the upper radiator hose” as a way to diagnose a problem with the thermostat . Am I feeling fit temperature or pressure of the hose??

    REV overheating - normal?

    I checked fluids before and after, so there’s plenty of antifreeze. I’ll have to search the TMs later and see where to start. Unfortunately I’m working crazy hours right now and also moving so it’ll be a while before I can get to anything

    REV overheating - normal?

    It’s finally summer here in TN. 90 degrees today. Coming home from a trail, I went 8-9 miles on a major road doing 60 mph. Engine temps shot up and the red idiot light came on as it was overheating. Coolant temps have never been an issue before. I did not expect that, given that the REV...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    Great looking truck. I painted/lined mine in the fall and yes it’s a crazy amount of work to tape. can I ask how many gallons of the lizard skin it took to do your interior? Did you do the inside of your doors?

    Best places to look for a reliable 6.5 TD engine? What is needed to swap from a 6.2?

    Call a place that does duramax swaps like plan B or predator or whomever, and see if you can buy someone’s running take out motor? Just a thought.

    Icy Roads

    So it’s nothing to do with road conditions? Do you know what it’s called in the TMs, if it’s in there at all? Operators manual says to pump brakes in snow and ice, but nothing about whatever this system is.

    I guess I was asking more about the “abs” system that the newer humvees have. Before I take it out for a real world test lol

    This hvac ductwork does do anything!

    My truck has the updated HVAC ducting on the dash. It also has this one duct which seemingly runs from the passenger area, inside the tunnel, then out at the drivers feet. I get little to no airflow through it at all. It doesn’t look plugged up? I’m thinking of closing it off to quiet down...

    Icy Roads

    My town is dealing with some ice and snow from this big storm that’s hit a lot of the country. My wife jokingly asked if I’d take the humvee out today because of the snow. I didn’t, and I was just out in my F150. while driving, my ABS braking system activated a few times, and I wondered what...

    How not to install a Duramax in a M998

    Mogman- this is an old thread and I was reading it just bc I was bored. But I am curious about the electrics, why did you convert everything to 12v?? Could you have fit a dual voltage regulator under the hood and ran a dual system? Or do they make 24v starters for the Dmax? re-wiring for all...
