    How many HMMWVs are still in the pipeline to be auctioned?

    18 months ago there were a lot still sitting in Albany to be demilled and tons laying around for auctions. No idea of the number

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Ok, I have the welded so I will start with a coil cut off and see. Thanks need to soften this ride up and I would rather make a mistake on these than the real ones that cost 50% more

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    I wonder if it matters on the amount of sprint cut off if you have the cast vs sheetmetal brackets. My truck has the welded sheet metal. Hopefully jrt can chime in on that.

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    @jrtoffroad @Glider After driving a bunch more in the rig I have decided it is time to swap springs in my M1097A2. I have the MAK springs still installed and nothing compresses them and the ride is rough. If you were to do it again would you go with the 4WD Armada springs (MOOG 81085)? Would...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Lots of cruising around Atlanta now that the rig is running great. Home Depot today and the pool yesterday.

    Please help settle an argument over tire size

    As long as the tires are the same diameter, I wouldn’t think it would matter too much in an emergency situation until you can get a new tire.

    Part number needed

    Apparently so. I feel like I saw others selling the same kit on eBay and through other deals for $2500 late late year when a friend of mine was looking.

    FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE?

    Hagerty for my M1097A2. Full coverage, value is what I said and they agreed.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Not too terrible other than the rear “T” vent lines are a pain to reach and you can only get 1/8 of a turn it seems with a wrench each time.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Swapped in a new fuel tank and deleted the check valves. My fuel starve issue has been fixed. Time to give the truck a was and enjoy some. Ice weather with the doors off!

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    Swapped in the new fuel tank with all fresh gaskets, removed the check valves, and replaced the rubber line connecting the hard line to the fuel pump. My truck is back to normal! Was able to take the doors off and take my two oldest girls for a spin in the afternoon to get some diesel and pick...

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    Ok, I will yank those out when I drop the tank again. They seem to be functioning just fine now but I have no way to test what the resistance is other than shooting a little compressed air through.

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    New tank is coming next week it seems. Have you seem similar issues before? Stalling out due to loose baffles?

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    Fired it up last night and idled rough for a couple seconds then smoothed out and was idling fine in the driveway for 10 min. Decided to take it on a drive around the block and Atlanta's fantastic roads coupled with some hills might have killed my epoxy fix. Hit a couple speed bumps and up a...

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    With 3 kids under the age of 6 last weekend was finally the time to drop the fuel tank, check lines and replace the fuel pump. But later than I planned but oh well. Fuel tank was dirty and the baffle was no longer connected to the bottom of the tank. Beginning to wonder if a floating baffle...

    That is this weekends project. Dropping everything potentially and going through it again I appreciate the help!

    Newbie Fuel System Issues

    I appreciate all the help. If the kids/wife let me I will try to drop the tank and check all the fuel lines this weekend. If that doesn’t do it, new fuel pump is next it would seem based on the TMs and the expected flow rate.
