Hello all. I purchased a right side NOS Sponson for sale at a good price. My question is what are the two upper holes for? My Truck does not have them. I'm not talking about the antenna triangle cover holes, but above them. Its different than my Tow Truck and if it does not fit I plan on moving...
Hello All, I'm tired of the wimpy horn on my M1045A2 and have purchased Military truck Air horns that I will mount under my LVVOS front driver's side bracket. My question is, I want to route the wire and 3/8" air hose through my windshield frame to keep it clean looking. Getting those in from...
Hello All. I want to add a Winch to the front of my M1045A2. I am looking for a Mile marker Winch Plate. The one that was installed by Coug is different than this one. Question is will it work on my buggy? Any opinions? Thanks in advance!
Good morning Gents, A number of months back I purchased a set of 12K shocks from Wolfer. When they arrived they seemed to be of good quality, but no part numbers were stamped on the top outer shock for me to tell front from back so I called them. The Gent told me that they took the high and low...
Morning all. I want to switch out my one 24 bolt Rim. Only the Rim. The Tire is mounted on the old style 24 bolt rim and I want to switch it out to the newer style 24 bolt rim which I have, so I have all 4 that match. I do most of the work on my Truck myself, but have shied away from anything to...
Good morning all. As previously stated I'm going to a DOD Roof without Turret hole and storing the original up armored Roof. I'm currently putting together a parts list. My question comes from the exploded view of the Roof. Please see attached. Do I really need to install the Clip, Spring...

Hello All,
The attached decal came with my M1045A2. You can see the outstanding installation the Marines did. LOL. I fond out it is not an assigned Military part number, and it was applied in 2008 by MCLB ALBANY. I would like to replace it, but I have not found it. Anyone have a source for this...
Hello All, when I purchased my A0 Truck the wait Light came on solid for 7 seconds then went out and she fires right up. When I bought the A2 Truck the Wait Light blinked about 11 times then went out. If its was a little cooler out and she was sitting overnight you really have to crank her to...
Good morning All. I am moving my Whip Antenna's from my M988 to my new M1045A2. It was easy to place the fixture to keep the Antenna's down with the Soft Top and doors. Would anyone be able to send me a picture of how to do this with a hard top and hard doors.? Not sure if the Antennas are...
Good morning All. I have my dash out to replace a lamp. I disconnected my speedometer cable to make life easier. My Speedometer works, but not smoothly. The needle kinda bounces through the entire range. Can just the Speedometer cable itself be pulled out, cleaned, lubricated, and reinstalled...
Hello All,
I'm considering adding the Military Red Dot AC field retrofit kit to my M1045A2. I found a complete 4 man kit from one of our fellow members. After viewing the kit installed I have a few questions.
1) It looks like it seals the cab from the slant-back portion of the Truck. It looks...
Hello All,
My new M1045A2 has a 6.5 versus my M988 which has a 6.2. When I checked the blow by on the 6.5 and went to put the Oil cap back on the filler tube it did not lock down like the 6.2. It got to a point of "snugness" then would "strip". I would then had to get it to the tightest point...
Hello All,
I have the opportunity to purchase an M1045A2 for what I think is a reasonable price these days. Its a 2003 6.5 with 4 speed. For me I always wanted a Slant Back. The problem is I love my 1987 M998 and have done most of the work and all the maintenance myself. It is a badass Truck...
Hello All. I live in the Northeast. My 1997 F-250 Powerstroke plugs into an electrical outlet to warm the oil and help get her started in the cold months. I could not find anything like this on my M988. I think the TM stated there is no such option on the HUMVEE. Is that the case? Will my buggy...
Hello All,
I need two tires taken off my rims and two put back on with run-flats and balancing. I'm near Philly PA. I really do not want to do this one myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!!
Good morning All,
I know this is a foolish one, but I need your assistance. I replaced both of my Mirrors and brackets on my A0, but something does not seem right. I have two questions and a request.
1) Are the left and right mounting brackets the same?
2) When it comes to the bottom Mirror...
Hello All,
I was doing some work on my engine and found this tag on the back of the right cylinder head. (sitting in the Truck) The engine must have been replaced at some point which I thought was great, but what date? I think someone forgot an number. Opinions? Thanks in advance!
