29483 to 92081, a VW Beetle Convertible. (Yes, non Military but there has to be other benefits to be a contributing member of this great forum!!! Need it moved within the next month. The upside is that is small and light? Will need to be insured. It is a 1969, a family friend is "sharing it"...

The end of a long journey. Bought an auction HMMWV stating it had a bad tranny and wouldn't shift into 3rd. I thought, ok, it's the modulator cable. I'll replace it. (After confirming with members here...). Drained the fluid, it was black and smelly and had water in it. Decided to rebuild, did...

When you don't have a lift, the starters can be a bear. For a skinny ten lb weakling like myself, I used a floor jack and a block of wood to hold it up while I positioned the front horizontal bolt into the carrier before screwing in the other two. Before that, I had tried unsuccessfully to put...

From Friday. More than a few Hmmwvs waiting on demil. Many had the steel boxes with windows. I guess those get cut up. One of the employees said that many of the MWOs were applied in 2009 and the engines looked and ran perfectly. Here's what I noticed: There were a boatload. I couldn't tell if...

I've made it a practice to replace U-joints when replacing/rebuilding trannies. There are two different types U-joints! They both have the same caps but what connects to the diffs are larger in format than the others. All of my U-joints in the most recent project were shot. I didn't hear them...

(Not a sale advertisement, apologize for the length...) I have a donor M1037 I have been stripping. I bought it as a wreck for $2,500. It is was pretty beat up and I've gotten loads of good parts that I am likely to keep as spares as well as sell. The front driver's side was smashed. So...

Hello, I was wondering if folks can do me a favor. I'd like to know if my M998 is performing poorly. With your unmodified (intake, exhaust, cam, block, non turbo), can you time how long it takes on a flat road to get up to 30 MPH in a 6.2 normally aspirated M998? (Floored). Can you do the...

Ok, I adjusted my wheel stops as per my recent post. On tighter turns in the parking lot, I am getting some front end shake or the feeling like the wheels are not in sync. Happens at all speeds (relatively speaking) Other information: 1. No leaks. 2. Straight travel is excellent. 3. Steering...

Hello, it has been a while for me - primarily since everything is running! Anyway, I have a 89 M998 and a 89 M1038. I have completed most of what I need to sell the M1038. Besides not knowing a price to sell it for (forbidden here), I have another challenge: The steering radius is...

I've read quite a few posts and am still confused on what to get. Here is my use case: Disaster strikes Southern California (we're going to be first, right?). F150 to HMMWV: I want to be able to radio my wife in her car (50 miles away possibly) from my HMMWV or vice versa - she's in the HMMWV...

I can't get it out of my head that ten year old tires are simply unsafe. I have four. What are your thoughts? Most folks are willing to run older tires and simply change them out when they blow. Given that Hmmwvs are not great at speed, I'm not likely to risk it if I can afford to have newer...

Hi, This fall I purchased three flat utility trailers (48" wide x 114") similar to those used behind tugs at an Air Force base. I am trying to figure out how to tow them around my property with a normal truck. They have lunette rings and an extremely short throw. My concern is turning and...

What's in your tire? (Run Flat and Spacer) I am editing this piece since RetiredWarHorses corrected me. This is the interior of a tire with an older run flat and spacer. (I can't' delete this or I would! LOL

When I turn my key on, my lights flicker (rhythmically) and my amperage goes low to normal to low. There is a clicking, which I assume to be a pump somewhere. Engine starts fine. Lopes a bit when it is cold but idle evens out pretty quickly (2 minutes). Belts wobble a but when running but I've...

I would like to get some fuel injectors (backups) for my 89 6.2. I have looked at the TMs but I can't find the PN. Kascar has PN 430211058 but does not indicate whether or not this is 6.2L. Also, there is short and long. I haven't found the differences in the forum.... Eternal thanks to the...

I have a leak at the front of my tranny. I have not pulled the flywheel cover off yet but I wanted to ask about a friend's suggestion: He said that sometimes the torque converter may leak or cause a leak. He said to clean things up a bit and try tightening the bolts before pulling. Have you...

I'm keeping this vehicle and would like to find out your thoughts on the frame reinforcement. (I did a couple of searches and either the reinforcements were down a ways in long threads..) I've seen the Predator and the "duck" reinforcements. Today, I heard from someone who says that a SoCal...

I liked the fact that these seats had five-point harnesses so I thought I would buy a pair. I don't know if I would recommend them based on the difficulty of installing them but I like what I am seeing as an end result. I believe the truck will be safer, have better rollover protection, and I...

I pulled the halfshafts about a month ago. Was ready to put them back in. Unfortunately, when I started putting in bolts, the plate on the disks had shifted (due to weight). So, my hip tip is that if you pull your halfshafts, leave in a couple of bolts so that you are correctly lined up. I am...

Are the outer cv joints supposed to have any friction when rotated around (when off the vehicle)? The inners seem smooth.
