What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[shawnshumvee]

I guess he attempted to adjust the toe in and the adjustors ( radius Rod) was maxed it wouldn't allow him to get any more adjustment. He also said they will have to be replaced with shorter ones or remove the adjusters from the sleeve and cut about a 1/4" off of each adjuster so he can get more adjustment[/QUOTE] out of them to bring the tow back in line. He also said that its going to really destroy my tires.

Im sure the tech was like wtf?

Yeah he was! At first they said their machine didn't have the specs for that truck. i told them just to input the data as you would for a Hummer H1 alpha.

Hello from Texas,

I'm new to this forum and have a question. Where the sling and tie down data plate, P/N 12340321 should be mounted? Please help, thanks.

A little cosmetic and a little mechanical done today. Oil & filter change / air filter change - no telling when Uncle Sam last serviced it. There was no date marked on the filter as typically seen.
The 2 mirror plastic frames were heavily bleached from the sun, removed and repainted with the Behr version of green carc. Tomorrow, if time allows, I will tackle the stuck fan clutch

I had my wife go all around the M998 putting pieces of tape anywhere she saw a spot missed from base coat. Touched all those up, started putting some.of the interior back together.

If following the TM does not net positive results, I might have to get a little more aggressive with the mallet

I wouldn't of minded having a handful of these around as spares, but the bidding got way too rich for my wallet

market value of about $65,000. Whoever bought that lot might feel pretty good about that purchase!

Having 300 plus customers waiting to buy one is the catch

That is very close to retail from what I have seen some listed for. No demand for 345 at one time, unless being exported as a lot. Lot of $ tied up but hey, someone has a plan I hope....

gotta spend it to make it...if I had $10k in scratch doing nothing...and willing to sit on it for a few years, why not. I applaud the guy. Capitalism is a beautiful thing.

Please confirm my numbers for adding 2 cycle oil.
'Correct' ratio is 200:1.
Our tanks are 25 gal, which calculates to 16 oz. per full tank, right?

I've always put a quart per tank. Per that lubricity additive test at DieselPlace which gives ratios, I guess I'm adding too much but, I've never had any issues.

Another electrical project almost done...






This is some sort of APC light--originally with a broken blue lens. It's NBC hardened (rubber seals at every point) and has adjustable brightness. It looked pretty good so I thought I'd throw it up there, even though it's not strictly what we used for light way back when (right-angle flashlights with the red lens, mounted on the velcro top straps, mostly)

I replaced the lens with acrylic I bent with a heat gun until it fit, then bought a piece of tail light lens replacement film (actually thick plastic) and put it over the acrylic. The waterproof connector was of a type I didn't have a cable for, so I drilled it out for direct wiring. I'm not prepping for an NBC attack, after all. Then I closed it back up.

It's got a huge rheostat inside, so for the moment I've got a 12v lamp in it with the knob turned about halfway. It's a good amount of light and I'm pleased with how it came out. Need to get the rest of the screws in and paint them.

The best price I can find is about $180. He got those for $25.
