    Mileage On Humvees

    Don't forget that most of the trucks released went through a rebuild at approx 10 years old, so the drivetrain might be rebuilt from a vehicle that had tens of thousands of miles on it, or from one that sat in the depot for 10 years and never moved. The tach may have been replaced with one from...

    Do you own a 4 speed R1?

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    The M1097R1 trucks are rebuilt trucks that started as other models, and can be either A1 or A2 series trucks before the rebuild. All that really matters is if it has a 3 speed transmission, you treat it like an M1097A1 for parts and repairs, and if it has a 4 speed transmission you treat it...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    brushes themselves are in excellent shape, and 2 of them are soldered directly to a bar, so a little difficult to replace. a before picture. I had already freed up some of the brushes. The brush on the top is the position all of them were stuck in when disassembled. and another angle...

    SEC12 on milemarker hydraulic winch plate.

    At 2.5 years old, or half a year past the warranty, the winch stopped working. Finally determined it's an internal motor issue, and took it all apart. Brush holder is rusted from moisture intrusion (so much for being rated as "Waterproof") brushes themselves are in excellent shape, and 2 of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    A month ago my electric milemarker SEC12 winch I installed on the milemarker hydraulic winch plate stopped working on me, right after I spooled out the line and hooked it up to a vehicle to pull out of a river. Ended up just putting it in 4 low and reversing to drag the SUV up the riverbank...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    there is a flange on the exhaust pipe just inside the frame. A good kick or two to the exhaust pipe can shift the pipe forward for a little more clearance if you're worried about it.

    A little bit of wiring and the battery issues are fixed

    Gen 10X2 should be 2 10 amp circuits (they list it as a 20 amp charger). The 5X2 is dual 5 amps (it's what I have in my rig, works awesome for a couple years now)

    Tail lights with reverse lights built in

    I've never heard of that site. Their page has a bunch of chinese made parts in it, as well as images taken from other sites such as the windshield glass image from the AM general site, with being almost doubled in price. Another example is they have images of the Alpha Custom HMC4 hard top...

    It's alive!!!

    keep the used belt in the spare parts bin in the truck, along with some idler pulley bearings in case you have an idler lock up while driving away from civilization, as there is no guarantee of finding the belt locally.

    Tail lights with reverse lights built in

    Can you do a link instead of just a screenshot? There are both good and bad units that look very similar, so more info will give you better answers

    M1097A2 build thread

    1) Personally I am running these batteries, but there is a little debate as to stick with the military 6T series or use civilian sizes. I am not a purist, and the group 24AGM have been working great for me for years now. https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/sli24agmdp 2) A)39.5x13.5...

    It's alive!!!

    The manufacturer's troubleshooting guide is a little easier to follow https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG17_uid252021123202.pdf And yes, 3117 and 3135 are both usable on the 200 amp

    M989 vs M989a1

    All I can say is good luck with that. I doubt the hitch extension will make any sort of positive difference, and might make it worse. If you're going to try parking it somewhere it has to be backed into and not in a straight line then I really hope for your sanity sake you also have some type...

    M1097R1 Cooling Problem

    Either you have been buying bad TDMs, or you have a short to ground somewhere in the system that is overloading it and causing the instant failure. Not much else in the system really. Without the TDM installed, you shouldn't be having any overheating issues as the fan should be engaged 100% of...

    Storage charges from the yard

    contacting the yard directly is the best option. As long as you are in contact with them and making it clear you are working on getting the item picked up, they will usually be a bit more lenient than if you just blow them off and show up a week or three late.
