What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[m715mike]

@frauhansen - those are expensive seat belts!

@Autonomy_Lost - It’s great to see your note above. I just got four “front seat seatbelts” from MacMotors (part number 12480530). The team at MacMotors was helpful and said that the front seatbelts would work for the rear seats too. They came in last week and are waiting at home for me until I’ll get an opportunity to put them in next weekend.

Dont know how it called in english... you dill a hwole and press in a nut. So i can remove it with two screws and still have a flat surface. The screws are in the lockable compartment, so that it can not be easily stolen.

Tearing out the radiator after finishing slant back conversion on my 1152. Gotta love finding a pinhole leak after the madien voyage.

I lived this BUT I was prepared. I replaced the entire stack during my 4speed conversion. That’s when I found the pinhole on the old remind/replaced rad.

You have 2 choices. Rebuild with four core dimpled radiator or buy a new one.

Good luck!

I am going to try the GM stop leak tabs first because its such a small hole. But at least the bolts underneath the fan shroud are access able to remove the radiator without pulling the fan shroud out, not like on my M1123.

Where there is one hole, there are more. Don’t waste your time! Replace that bad boy ASAP.

these USMC trucks have had a lot of salt water immersion, as you said…if you have a leak on the core, there are others.
also, there is No civilian replacement radiator for the ECV, so that option is out…remove the radiator and send it out and see if it’s even repairable,
there are 3 versions of ECV radiator, the early round core tubes “BAD”, the later skinny core tubes “good” and now the OEM Aluminum radiator.

Are there different part numbers for each version or is it one number for all?

Only on the Aluminum IIRC

New Antenna and antenna tie down. View attachment 893279View attachment 893280

there is another style of antenna tie down that the antenna clips into not hooks over the antenna. That way if you get hung up. It will spring up. With this style, it will snag until something breaks....
I have broken 2 masts this way and do not use that style anymore. YMMV

Do you remember where you found the other tie down? This was the only one I found, and bought from kascar.
