I was also very disappointed in the light put out by the standard $39/ea HMMWV headlight, but could not bring myself to pay $300 for a pair of NSN: 6220-01-547-9049 bulbs. So, I bought a pair of 7" round LED headlights for the Jeep Wrangler and it was a pretty easy swap into the HMMWV. And...
I was trying to come up with something that would not require drilling into the rig or it's parts and this is what I came up with. I strongly considered the air valve in the fuel cap as you mentioned if this did not work. Thanks to you, she's rolling again! :-)
Thanks for the feedback. I mentioned in the video it only took about 30 psi to inflate the bulb and push some fuel out of the tank. When I opened the fuel filter bleeder valve over the front drivers tire, I was getting fuel there. And, I do not have a hand vacuum pump. I just tried to make...
dangood - you must be some kind of GENIUS! :-) Thanks to your post, I used the tip to "pressurize" the fuel tank and she fired right up! Not sure if I did it the way you intended, but here is a link to the YouTube video I created to hopefully help someone else in the future...

I have a 1989 Army HMMWV with standard 37x12.50R16.5LT tires with 12 bolt two piece rims and have been having trouble balancing the wheels. Initially, I wanted to keep the run-flats that came in the tire. However, I have realized that I would prefer to have a smoother ride over the...
I have a 1989 Army HMMWV with the 6.5l and the alternator pictured here is dead.
Can I swap out the alternator shown with a Niehoff N1602 28v 400a alternator shown here?
Any help is appreciated.
