Bad PCB and need help with removal
I drove my HMMWV to work today, but I noticed that the wait light flashed on and immediately off when I turned the key. I let it sit for about 10-15 seconds and then turned the key to start and it started up. When I started it during this occasion the...
Those of you that have HMMWVs from the USMC auction years ago, are you mad that the gov is selling HMMWVs again and causing the value of your vehicle to drop? Is this one of the reasons the board is so anti-registration? Just wondering.
I have the floor mounted fire extinguisher mount next to my seat. What size fire extinguisher fits in it? I bought one at lowes today and it was too big. The household extinguishers are too small.
Thanks.
I had a burned out low beam in my front passenger headlight, so I replaced the headlight with a new military replacement. Everything seems fine at first, but then I was driving in the pasture for about five minutes and I got out and checked it again. The low beam had already burned out...
Are the required seals, washers, nuts, O-rings and boots for servicing geared hubs, spindles, and half shaft maintenance available at Napa, Autozone or any local auto parts dealers?
If so, do you know the parts numbers?
If I grab the left rear and right front half shaft under my HMMWV I am able to wiggle them left and right about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. The boots are not torn. Is this amount of articulation normal or is there some sort of adjustment to make?
Just got my M1038 and noticed that the transmission pan seems to be leaking and probably needs a new gasket. In the mean time is there any problem adding Dexron III to it if it has Dexron II now? I have no idea if it has Dexron II or III in it now.
also, is there a particular brand I should buy?
Anyone have a pic of their hmmwv in two man truck configuration, but with both the B and C pillars still installed? I'm just wondering how this would look and I can't find any pics of same. Thanks.
What sort of precautions need to be taken with the two piece wheel design on the HMMWV? My truck in waiting has 12 bolt rims and worn out tires, so I bought a set of 24 bolt rims with tires and run flats already installed. I've never messed with two piece rims, but I've read many horror stories...
Is there a way to make soft doors work with with X door strikers? Also, what are X Doors made of and do they offer any ballistic protection without any armor added to them?
I won an auction recently for a M1038 with the 6.5 and a 60 amp alternator. What are my options with running things that need power with this setup? Can I run a winch, CB, change my telephone, etc?
I'm looking for a set of four, but it appears it will cost me over $1000. I can't imagine people are paying that. Is there a place that has them for reasonable prices? Are doors auctioned on GovPlanet?
I have a few hmmwv tire questions, if you don't mind:
1) Is there any way to tell if hmmwv tires have runflats installed in them?
2) Are the beadlocks used instead of the runflats or in addition to them?
3) With the two part wheels, is it as simple as deflating the tire, removing the 12...
