    Delco 24v alternator bracket modification

    The Humvee stuff is all sealed up with seals and the like. Even the starter and switches are. It doesn't mean that they will never get water in them, but they try to keep it that way. The USMC Humvees even have the Fuel lift pump and power steering reservoir vented to the air intake stack so as...

    Delco 24v alternator bracket modification

    What is a Delco Alternator? If you are going to run Military Radio's then you may get static and if it is an alternator as used on Civilian General Motors Cars and Trucks, it is possibly water resistant, but probably not water proof.

    Windshield adhesive / sealant

    I use paintable caulking as would be used on a house, but I get brown or black/grey whatever is available at the time. It is easy to scrape off and again it is paintable so if it squeezed out and shows and you can't wipe it away, you can paint that area. I put a small bead in the gasket then...

    Has anyone converted a 6.2 into a turbo charged unit?

    Tobash, I think I know just about everything needed about adding a turbo to an N/A Humvee engine, but I need to know what Turbo you are planning on using and where you plan to mount it, because the info is detailed.

    Need to replace the Pitman and Idler Arm ? correct part # ?

    The early idler arms look really spindly, but with out a photo to even make a guess, I think using the NSN Number from your Data Plate and then finding the corresponding UOC Number will get you the parts that are correct for your Humvee, most likely. If the studs from both the idler and pitman...

    Need to replace the Pitman and Idler Arm ? correct part # ?

    Oh, I forgot, your truck may have been upgraded already so you might have the better of the early drag links already.

    Need to replace the Pitman and Idler Arm ? correct part # ?

    Those parts were upgraded at some point and you might not find the originals these days. The Hummers used the upgraded parts, which included the drag link. These fit right where the smaller originals went. Tie rods have not changed as far as the tapered stud goes so no worry there. You might...

    Hmmwv runs great then dies

    One of those two connections has a special shape to it that is found nowhere else on the Humvee. It has a high low shape to the rubber connectors so you should be able to tell at a glance if they are mixed up.

    Of fuel tanks and TMs and websearches, oh my.

    As mentioned just above, You can use the NSN number from the data plate and then use the corresponding UOC number to find out what tm to use, but that gives you info for that data plate. Is it the original data plate? Is it a replace data plate that is accurate as to the configuration of your...

    Of fuel tanks and TMs and websearches, oh my.

    There is not one book to tell you what you want. In thirty years or so a book may be written with all the permutations and whatnot for the Humvees broken down by model and or when built, but for now you have to learn the basic differences between the common models and work from there. TM's are...

    Of fuel tanks and TMs and websearches, oh my.

    To keep it simple.... If you have a Humvee with the parking brake on the rear driveshaft, you need the first fuel tank, which is made of yellowish/brown material, because the second type of fuel tank that is made of white colored material has a rear area that will hit the brake disk. If your...

    looking for access cover

    There is no way to change the main gasket for the top plate. It is way too large to come out through the hole and there is no room to get at all the nuts anyway. You can change the sender and it's gasket though. As stated before, the front to back length of the opening is limited by the cross...

    Jolt when Shifting from stop

    The torque converter idea is a good one. I Got a nice truck for free, because it sounded like it had a rod knock in the oil pan when at idle, but once the revs were raised, it went away. Turned out to be loose bolts between the flex plate and converter. There should not be much room for movement...

    Easy upper spur gear replacement tips (12k)

    The teeth of the both the drive spur gear and the output gear are meshed and although they could slide out of that situation, there are bearings pressed onto each end of the spur gear and the outer bearing hits the driven gears teeth when being pulled towards the opening in the hub body so you...

    Hummer H1 TCM and Military TCM

    1993 Hummers did not use the 4L80E Transmission. Did you get it from a 1994 Hummer that may have been built in 1993 or is that just a sensor to give rpm pulses to the tachometer from the 6.2 engine.

    Jolt when Shifting from stop

    You are supposed to turn off the engine when changing transfer case positions. High Lock is only for driving on loose ground, not pavement of any type.

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Try installing a new filter and water separator in the fuel filter housing first. Your flow problem is a classic sign of a restricted fuel filter or fuel line.

    After market wheels?

    Lots of wheels will fit that bolt pattern. You'll find something.

    After market wheels?

    Why are you comparing your Humvee to a GM Truck? Because it has a GM Engine and Transmission? Swing of the wheel and scuffing? It's an all wheel drive vehicle with ball joints that are over two full inches inboard of the inner lip of the wheel rims so it can only swing as the ball jointt are...
