    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Are those seats worth the money? I like the look more than the SmittyBilt but I'm stuck on the cost and comfort. Thanks,

    LEO/FD HMMWV Check List & Part Numbers

    My 91 came with 7k's, the replacements were supposed to be 10k's and did not fit. All the half shafts, 7, 10, and 12k's are the same length as far as I am aware. 7 and 10s are interchangeable with no mods and going with 12's requires changing the upper gear in the portal. I am no expert so I...

    LEO/FD HMMWV Check List & Part Numbers

    NCV82999 too long I tried a pair of the NCV82999 rear halfshaft from Advanced Auto Parts for my 91 m998 and they are way too long. They are 28 7/8s compressed. I looked up the part number and all the manufacturers I can find online e, like GSP, show this length as correct. Any idea how these...

    Gear oil coming out vent lines

    Hey Wagnum, sorry and kinda of relieved that you ran into the same issue. I found the same info on the solid axle AMCbut was hoping I could avoid having to make any sort of drain or channel. Had the same results with ARB, no help to date. I haven't made any changes to the diff yet. What I have...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Where did you get t he boots from? Were they a kit? I tried replacement shafts from flee bay and both leak grease, have to replace the clamps... Figured I would replace the boots on the front shafts. Thanks, Matt

    Onboard air

    I replaced both my diffs with ARB air lockers when they blew. Because of that I installed an on-board air setup using Viair pump and 2.5 tank that mounted in the rear wheel well. The pump was meant to be a portable setup so I had to make sure to add a check valve on the pump. I also found a...

    Gear oil coming out vent lines

    Took your advice and called ARB. I had read about some Dana diffs needing an oil drain slot added. They told me they hadn't heard of any issues with the Humvee diff, which as you probably know is an AMC 20. They are doing some more digging for me. In the mean time I'm going to put the hubs and...

    M1037 rear spring change? Any advice or parts list?

    Remove the lower ball joint if you have to remove them in the future. Then you don't have issues with the half shaft, etc... I do have a set of M998 springs, front and rear, if you ever need them. I swapped out to a set of springs from Ron Hall Racing. Was told they'd give me more flex as I...

    Tire upgrade suggestions ?

    I run 39.5 IROK radials with a 2" body lift. I don't think they would have rubbed without the lift under normal circumstances but can't say for sure. I run 12 bolt wheels with Trail worthy fab inserts. Usually run about 25 to 30 lbs on the street and 15 off road. I also used 10 ounce bags of...

    Gear oil coming out vent lines

    Hey folks, recently replaced my rear diff with an ARB unit and since that time I've been getting gear oil in the air cleaner. Several months ago I had replaced the front diff with an ARB when it torpedoed and had no issues, other than a leaky output shaft seal that I haven't replaced yet. I've...

    Diff failure and rebuild

    All my parts finally arrived and I was able to start the ARB locker install yesterday. The instructions were good right up to the bearing install. They explain the easy side, passenger side stock bearing gets pressed on to the diff, but there are no instructions for the drivers, ring side, which...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Found out how to test a Hall Effect sending unit like the one we have in our Humvees, like to the you tube video is below. When trying the tests the guy describes I found that our sensors do not have an AC output like he describes, ours is DC. My sending unit showed 2.9 volts while the truck was...

    replacing front diff: best way to reset pinion yoke nut?

    I had a similar issue earlier this month. Out of curiosity what dud you loose teeth on? Ring or pinion, or one of the worms? I'm replacing mine with an ARB setup in the same diff housing, my ring and pinion are in good shape. I had a worm gear tooth chip and shattered all the work wheels on...

    Diff failure and rebuild

    You remember if you had to replace the output bearings or do they survive getting pulled out with the shaft with the slide hammer? Matt

    I joined a Jeep club. Those guys find all kinds of places to wheel. Mostly private land that they get permission to go on.

    My 218 TC has a slow leak up high that looks like it is coming from the seem in the case. Has anyone split the case while the TC was in the truck? If so anything needed to reassemble other than gasket sealer? Thanks, Matt
