That is not correct. First sale started Dec 17th, 2014. Ever since then, they sell at least 70 per week!! Most of they time, more than that.
They must have sold at least 4500 of them.
A a person from gov planet (i dont want to give away his name) told me that they will have many more for...
I know that there are more than 4000 humvees --reported by the press initially-- for sale, but does anyone has a good figure of how many actually for sale?
Or how long they will keep selling them for?
On GOVplanet
thanks
this time is NOT the coil, it is the Swiss control ignition model this time. What i said was that it is a classic case of failed coil.
This right here:
it is only a new production Taiwanese made though, called New Star. but i bought from an authorized dealer so S&S Truck Parts sent me a new...
normally, this is caused by bad ignition coil, after running for awhile , much current and heat, it will misfires or sputter.
as I suspected: the swiss ignition control module. I ve got a new one for warranty. It runs normal now.
for you, look seriously into distributor system (coil and...
After a few months of good running engine, now it starts having problems: when I press the gas pedal my Mutt hesitates, sputters only after it gets hot (after about 10 minutes of running.)
I figured this was a classic case bad ignition coil, so I ordered a new coil (Taiwanese chrome New...
Moderators,
I am not asking about titling HMMWV's.
I just want to know if GP bill of sale has "off road" stamp on it or not. And it stops there.
I've read some folks saying that, unlike SF97, bill of sale does NOT have "off road use only" stamp on it. But I saw one picture online showing...
Can you go into a little more details about how to distinguish repaint from factory job? Especially for GP hmmwv's.
Or it is simply by comparing the interior vs exterior to tell.
Another question is that, Are there many HMMWV'S on GovPlanet that are actually shipped back to US after the wars...
I was told that sand color humvees can tell you that most likely they served in war and shipped back to the US.
IS THAT TRUE?
It makes good sense to me that they only need to paint in that sand/tan color if it is to serve in the middle east.
if a Humvee was in war it is probably very beat...
Thank you for all your help. My friend took his HUMVEE home and chose to use battery kill switch option. When I get my humvee I will install and keyed battery switch regardless.
I like this switch here, it has a real key and all, price is soft too and it is small...
I am fixing my friend's 1990 M998
I turned ignition switch, lights, heater all off.
But the truck still draws 1.7A from the battery at all time.
A guy at Advance Auto Parts store told me to test at the fuse box to see what part of the truck that draws current then fixt that part.
Does...
I guess "if you want to dance you have to pay the fiddler."
....so I picked up a used working box by SSI.
Problem solved.
I tried to find a way to save.
Thank you you all.
the box is the culprit.
My only issue is the wire 81a does not have good volage (1.3V only) to POS lug on starter to charge my battery. but I don't want to replace the SSI EESS box, which maybe bad--as far as giving correct voltage to wire 81A to charge the battery.
So I might just as well run a wire straight from...
I traced all paths, all working, I think the EESS box is bad as far as not putting out good voltage. Otherwise, it still works good and starts my truck. I don't want to fork out $500 changing it while it is still spanking new.
That is why I ask you all for your opinion on my idea of a jumper...
I have inspected all connector and box, all seems to be Ok with no burnt marks. But this what I have found:
Sticking the test probe into the 81A wire at the cannon plug, I have either correct 27.3V or 1.6V. One time it is correct another time it is not. There is not telling of when or why the...
Yes, I have 28.5V at gen with pos disconnected at batt while engine is running.
It is confirmed that my Gen works, which can powers all light, heater when batt is disconnected.
but that 81A wire in the picture carries very low voltage average 14V, sometimes 3 4 or 23v max.
thanks
Yes, I have 28.5 at Gen coming from the gen (engine running and Pos terminal of battery disconnected) that is between red cable point A below and a good ground,
Please allow to make sure that I understand you:
As the picture be low, the smaller wire coming from the top of the picture is wire...
Please note I have Prescolite 60AMP gen.
I adjusted the voltage screw and opened up the cover. I got voltage set at 28.5V--within recommended range.
Point A, below:
However, at point B, below, the voltage is so crazy, it changes all the time from 3v to 14, to 21 up 24V! Most of the time it...
