    200 amp generator housing broke.

    Good explanation. I usually go by if it is long, it is a generator and if it is short, it is an alternator. A radio guy said that alternators made lots of static compared to generators and the military radios don't like it. Is that a true statement or just a wives tale?

    A1 vs A2 A-Arm & how to tell the difference?

    The later upper control arms were modified by having a ring of sorts that surrounded the ball joint. This was welded to the control arm at time of manufacture and AM General actually sold just the rings so they could be installed on early Hummers that did not have them. The four bolts of each...

    1989 HMMWV Front Drive Shaft Out of Phase

    It can't be out of phase, because where the front, front and rear front driveshafts meet with the splined sections. there is a groove that is filled on the front front shaft so the grease zerk that protrudes into the rear front shaft lines up with it.

    Hmmwv is so unique. But I wonder why a few things

    Width is the way it is because the engine, trans, t case and diffs are all above the level of the bottom of the frame for protection so with the mil standard generator being used, there was a wide area needed, even with placing the engine in very crooked, then you need a place for a person on...

    Identifying two things, aux cables, Small tube on wheel

    This item is a USMC thing. AM General put them on Marine Corps Humvees when they built them. If you are not sailing with your Humvee, you probably don't need this item.

    Leaking 218 TC

    Before you do that, there is a rubber plug that is pressed into an access hole that is up high on the 218 T Cases. Right side towards the fuel tank and up top. The hole is there for some assembly or repair reason and they just pushed in a rubber plug that is tapered like an old fashioned cork...

    Military HMMWV Vs Civilian Hummer H1

    Maybe about ten years ago, A BMW SUV hit a Border Patrol Hummer head on in I believe Texas. The SUV was traveling very fast and lost control when it went onto a bridge of sorts. It looked like a sort of a bridge that would allow a wash to pass under so it was not high, but anyway, it got...
