    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So you found the loose hub nut BEFORE you lost your wheel… and you’re upset that you are all in one piece and not injured?

    Failing differential?

    Have you tried opening the drain plug on the differential and inspecting your fluid? You can also get a $40 Borascope on Amazon and actually look inside at the gears through the drain and the fill portals. EDIT - I posted after RWH. sorry if redundant. Love the idea of sticking brakes.

    HMMWV top protectant?

    I just wanna point out that some people will paint their canvas with Behr paint to go from one color to the next. Behr paint being an outdoor paint will also protect the top.

    My Engine Smoked....

    Your MTV camera skills left me dizzy and unable to identify exactly what’s going on. When you use a camera, you need to focus on one area and then move extremely slowly over the next 30 seconds in order to let people see what’s going on. Anything from the air conditioning compressor to a...

    Humvee 400 Amp voltage regulator

    Get the specific one you need or replace with new Dual voltage 200 Amp alternator regulator with new mounting brackets. You need to re-engineer the mounts to swap to GM alternator, and that takes time AND you will also need a 12V inverter to operate the transmission. In general, being cheap...

    How does dual switch brake pedal work ?

    Perhaps I misunderstanding you, but you disconnected the batteries and then went to check transmission codes? There would be no power going to the transmission, therefore no codes. You need to disconnect the batteries and then reconnect the batteries and then disconnect the temperature control...

    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    Open and close each injector to let out air, but also to see which one or which ones are the offending the bad ones

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Respectfully, I have owned a rigid air compressor for over a decade and I have never paid attention to the duty cycle. There are times I’ve had it running for 15 or 20 minutes at a time.

    No steering/brake pressure.

    Most likely you have an air leak somewhere that allowed the fluid to leak out of the pump. Once you revived the engine, you got fluid circulating again. Remember that steering fluid pressure also controls the brakes.

    Aftermarket fiberglass door differences

    I made doors. Cheaper and easier to remove for outdoor adventures. I like them more than my electric imitation military x-doors and my soft doors and my fiberglass X-doors military doors.

    How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it. TOBASH

    Just be aware that using a plastic box is potentially an issue because it is flammable and it is dealing with high voltage and high amperage. Just one wrong wire can cause that all to catch fire. I recognize that car companies are using plastic boxes however they have extensive teams to make...

    Anyone adapt a red dot HMMWV a/c to the FMTV?

    I have a red dot complete and unused 24V a/c at home. Anyone ever adapt for use on FMTV? Are there better options?

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    This was done “in-house” which is why I used them. Thanks for the great idea BUT I chose this place because they are perhaps the last of a dying breed.
