Maybe. I seemed to recall some of my neurophysiology study from Kandel and Schwartz some decades ago so I dug around a bit. Jury's out. https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/2075/does-red-light-preserve-your-night-vision I prefer red. and the light coming through the faded dyes on the...

This works for me, you might try it. Red lighting preserves night vision. Never could figure out a rationale for GREEN panel lighting. I bought a small bottle of Vitrea 100 glass paint and some Eiko 6S6/30V bulbs (about $8 and $10, respectively), but didn't like the paint finish. Might've...

Welcome to the madness. As you can see from some of the posts, FMVs are a lot like Lays potato chips. Dare you to get just one.

Question is, really, with all that other godawful racket from the engine, how can ANY of us hear that hissing? I got wrapped around the axle over this a month or so ago for a few moments. I’ve owned my M1038 going on 2-1/2 years and that was the FIRST time I heard the hissing from under the...

Welcome. Thanks for the pictures.

I second that. I bought a case of 12 Wix filters for my HMMWV last year (18 mos maybe?) for less than $60 on sale, seem to recall paying about $6 each delivered. I already had a half dozen Purolator (didn’t they invent oil filters?) per LO requirements (whatever matched the NSN) on hand but...

Good thread. I had the same question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Holy zombie post, Batman! Did this ever get resolved? Are there non-working battery packs to be found for rebuild? Anyone have the details on the components needed (case, thermistor, heating pad wattage/model) from mouser, digikey, ePay? Awaiting delivery of one of these from Henry’s Trucks...

At least you have a battery pack, which is a good start. I understand they can be repaired (do a google search on this site for SHC60, you’ll find the threads), replacement internal batteries - 2V cells - aren’t cheap, the actual packs new run around a grand, it seems. Wanna sell your pack...

PM me with email. I have two. I’ll send pics. Make me an offer. Not likely to get another MV in this lifetime.

Anyone planning a run from Long Island down I-95 corridor? Got room for a couple of engines? PM or email. Thanks. Norm

So said Herr Eichmann, look where THAT got him.

Well, if you read about the travails of the MEP-series genset owners who have done everything short of disassembling their units to remove the fuel/water separator, you might think thrice about putting one in your Humvee. I got lucky. I only needed to use a TEKTON filter wrench, which still...

Welcome Jarhead, Gyrene, US MF Marine! I had many a lost weekend with my Marine friends (I was Army) at several duty stations many decades ago. Flaming shots of 151 - whoof! You've come to the right place. Great group here, helpful as the day is long. You, like a LOT of us, seem to recall a...

Welp... Went to ACE hardware yesterday, with parts in hand, found o-rings to fit 1/4-20 bolt, actually 6mm ID metric, about 3mm thick. I used one for the inside of the bowl, one for the spacer between the filter and filter itself. For OUTSIDE the bowl, I found a sink valve washer with 1/4" ID...

Welcome to the madness. I know ONE HMMWV owner, “AOR”. Passed along an “extra” 12 bolt rim to him, let him sit in my HMMWV and he had one of his own within weeks; then I sold my M1102 trailer to him. Several other owners here. There’s a parts guy, Brett, his dad (RIP) used to post here as...

I don't think so. Note the gaskets provided do NOT include one for the base, which is where the housing is leaking. (BTW - it wasn't leaking before I replaced the filter) Only ONE of the larger gaskets is required; the one that comes with the WIX filter fits the recess, but WIX doesn't...

I mentioned this in the other thread on “MEP 802-803 filters” The third stage filter (just before the injector “tree”) leaked. A lot. Fast forward to sourcing new seals, cleaning out about a gallon of spilled fuel (really really), and the thing STILL leaks. How hard is this, anyway? There...

Plenty of us. Ask away. Norm

What they said, plus, what, nobody mentioned the ever-popular "Swellman" glow plugs? Yes. DISCONNECT GROUND (seriously consider installing a keyed ground disconnect switch - details here somewhere) ANYTIME you work on electrics. I got lucky, mine ran, but blew a LOT of white smoke (unburned...
