Stuff happens. One of the more interesting things I’d read here was someone stopping a HMMWV fan with their hand. Sure, it’s free-floating, but there’s a heck of a lot of momentum built up in those blades and I can easily imagine a good hand surgeon being consulted to do reattachments of...

I was a med student doing an anesthesia rotation back in 1989 when a patient came into the OR for debridement of a wound gotten from a high-pressure ink-feeding line from some Pennysaver-type printing press. Just a small set of wounds on the hand, but a LOT of dark stuff under his skin...

What kind of glue did you use to put it back? I’m puzzling out how to get the diverter and the dash/instrument panel free and figured there had to be some kind of adhesive, or the windshield frame was holding the parts down somehow. I’ve got time to figure it out; had to order a 1.5” ID hose...

I did mine last time over a few days’ time. I had the cooling stack off, replaced PS aux cooler hoses, PS pump (it made noises, winch wasn’t working really well), high-pressure line to gearbox, followed directions to the letter, ran the engine, let it cool off, and started over, and...

No release. Plug was just glued in place with silicone or something like it. Picked at it, brushed it with a stainless brush, pulled tabs on side to release, then reassembled and wrapped some silicone tape around it.

Wow. You found DIRT! :lol: Were the maps useful, at least?

For tap and die operations: Tap magic. For drilling - drill press or mill or hand drill - same or WD40. Milling: WD40 or soluble oil/water mix. FWIW.

I thought so too. I'll give it another go tonight. Tried pushing with a thumbnail but wasn't getting any release. Likely old rubber adhering to the plastic. I'll try getting some dielectric grease between the parts with a nail or something. Thanks.

Holy resurrected zombie post Batman! I did some plug-and-play hose replacement on my PS system this past week or so and wound up getting the electrical wire for the proportioning valve underneath the high-pressure hose from the hydroboost to steering box and would like to unplug it and reroute...

Check the wiring harness forward of the steering column. When I got my truck several years ago, my PCB was toast - hard starting, eating GPs, etc - replaced it with an S3 box, but I also had a loose steering column due to some broken aluminum tabs made out of unobtanium, so I bought a complete...

Franklin? Just up the road from where I’m retiring in a few years (Hampshire). Welcome to the group. If you’re interested in a HMMWV, I always recommend people start with reading through the “What I did with my HMMWV today” thread in the HMMWV forum. There’s an inestimable wealth of...

Wow. Arrogance. Ignorance. Condescension. Folly of youth. If you’ve never known anyone to go through what USAFSS-ColdWarrior is describing, have never sat through depositions in personal injury cases, never known anyone to lose their life savings defending themselves in such a case, lose...

Good luck with that. I’ve never had any luck disassembling potted components.

I believe this is why DoD went with the newer KDS module. 12338603 They’re available, maybe someone will come along and offer one to you for a reasonable price. NB

Definitely the place to be for helpful handy tips, cranky old farts, expert advice, knowledge and information you'll find nowhere else on the web. Welcome to the madness. Post pictures of your MV or it's imaginary. Norm

Call me old-fashioned, but every mechanic’s toolbox should have a good VOM (volt-ohm meter) in it, even a cheap free with $25 purchase from Harbor Freight pocket model will work for measuring voltages and continuity in circuits. L1-N(ground) gives 120V more or less, as does L3 to ground, but...

That’s awesome, and inspiring. This is how I intend to use my HMMWV on our farm in TN in future years, more or less. Winch for hauling logs out of hollers, dragging logs to splitter, running 120VAC inverter for tools out in the field, hauling mule and horse pooh to composting/gardening soil...

HMMWV? I'd advise starting with reading every "What did you do to your HMMWV today" post over in the HMMWV forum. Skim if you need to but it'll give you an idea of common issues people ask about. Welcome to the madness. Norm
