    Rev B Spindle Nut?

    You determine what you have by the serial number of the truck, they made ECV and REV’s in A1’s….anything above 300k is a REV.

    HMMWV Serial Number Lookup Tool

    LEAD is Letterkenny Army Depot and yes, thats a reset date…AFAIC, I’ve never cared what my DOD was or is, as long as the truck is good in all Aspects of mechanics and overall condition. Also…any 3 speed truck is a 94 and below for the most part.

    Humvee M1152 ac problem

    you can bypass that thermostat for testing, plug the male and female packard plugs into each other,the compressor should run in the AC position. if it still trips? The thermostat is not the issue.

    Now I’m scared. Fake N3135 regulators???

    they aren’t aftermarket, not sure why people think so just because it’s sold from another country, milsurp is all over the place. I just bought an S3 box from Kuwait…OEM and arrived in 3 days.

    200 amp generator / regulator that works periodically...

    It’s clear in the pic that the AC and IGN wires have been spliced…I would verify the connections are intact. if you have an over running pulley, make sure it’s also operating correctly

    200amp alternator not charging

    if the pulley is free wheeling in both direction, yes…the first course of action it to replace the pulley assy and TS from there.

    Humvee M1152 ac problem

    if The blower is working on heat but not AC? It’s not the blower…it’s the same blower. I had a truck in from DOE that did this and it was the EESS box was bad, also seen similar issues due to chafing on the body harness due to the 400amp generator. You need further TS to isolate.

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The stock springs on the m1165A1 are perfectly fine IMO…the variable rate rears are the same as what’s in an H1, the fronts have 2k rated springs. The only person making springs worth a sh*t is Mike Hoffman out in Chicago. As far as your Cepek adjustable shocks? Don’t waste your money…but your...

    Log of… a whole hodge podge.

    I have had at any one time 6 or 7 of my own trucks, but that ebbs and flows as folks always want to buy my personal trucks even when not for sale…everything has a price, im not married to any one truck, I had an H1 for 19yrs….eventually I just sold It, I get bored quickly once I’m done it, I...

    brake shudder question

    Brake shudder from the rears after new pads and rotors is quite common, it’s a real PITA to convince customers after spending a bunch of money this is normal…beveled edge on pads is some help, but unfortunately with these floating pads and a job done correctly, it just takes time to burnish them...

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    You said these are cheap amazon Glow plugs, Have you metered all the other glow plugs to verify they are actually good? I’ve seen these cheap GP’s look fine….but are dead as dead comes, no swelling, no nothing. looks are not a test…using the meter is the standard.

    The same glow plug constantly roasting mystery..

    I’ve responded to this on FB…this is quite simple to TS, pull the GP lead and run the truck as normal, if you aren’t getting a melted GP? you now know it’s your EESS box is the issue, IMO it’s the box…your GP timer is stuck on and 24v is present after 9 second. i suspect all the other GP’s are...
