    ?? Ground is ground. It does not work with any switch Hi/LO or the main. All hood #91xx primary and #92xx secondary are grounds spliced together in the hood harness. They terminate at the hood connector Pin E. then on the other side, to the #91xx to 79xx and on to the body ground tie point...

    FARMVEE

    There is a good chance your design will work (y) with the dual voltage alternator. May need to simply wire up the 12-14 volt feed . To better understand the operation... What is the current draw of the 12 volt motor and any other 12 volt loads. Bombs away to the farm critters 🐐🐷🐔🐄 CAMO

    Facebook Seller

    As I stated in my previous post of scammer and hackers, my company had the same internet bad AH actors. They grab your pictures, your good name, make a sale and then you get a call for someone you NEVER have record of looking for what they think they bought. Very disheartening when trying to...

    M1114 project

    Squirt a test spot give it a week and judge the outcome 🎨(y)(n) There are flattening agents to tame the gloss down. Shooting the whole rig might be like a shot to the foot. When all done might be hard to walk away from, CAMO

    Electrical Kill Switch

    YEP... IMO better to get a quality switch. Don't need a cheap, plastic parts or a spring... thank you amazon, in a HumV. Double up on the contacts, use ring and screws terminals with proper crimp & solder, 12 ga wire, Packard connectors maybe slap on some liquid tape ? Hide it, Plug and Play...

    Electrical Kill Switch

    Your are on the right track. (y) 11A is an easy way to go. Since your not switching under load, the military specification STOP-RUN-START switch is doing the heavy switching. ((not a chineezze knock-off) Secret switch contacts need to handle 11A load / circuit. See my attachment for the poop...

    Is there a way to run Optima batteries in the HMMWV?

    Not to be that guy... BUT the hold down bracket is close to becoming a fireworks display in the picture above. A big bump and sparks could fly. That Guy, CAMO

    What to look for on a humvee when buying

    My "What to look for question when buying" Check the price ... add in the auction, tax, delivery, license, processing fees, a couple of nice dinners, a day long trip to the mall to convince the boss. Add it all up... $$ Double it $$$$. That's the sale price, CAMO

    Electrical Dip

    That shunt bolt (being loose) is a common problem. On the back side of battery box, tunnel and frame... that during some demils GI Joe's remove the radio power feeds and in a hurry don't get to tighten them back up as in can you say finger tight. Same for the positive lead. Battery feed...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Going for one more ride on the EMP bandwagon. LOL The welding cable to the HumV making it the secondary winding is workable and I... Me wouldn't be standing around with a metal ring on my finger to see LOL. (something to think about🤔) Fact, fiction, fear or ??? ... EMP's are real everyday...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    IMO... I think the term "EMP proof" for any electronic device is going to be a bit crap shoot. (space craft, some military ? But the flood of commercial gear... not so much) Smart boxes and 4 speed TCM with all of the semiconductor (1000's in the CPU +) ready for a pulse and wiring acting as...

    Hmmwv spin on fuel filter conversion

    Tee off the factory oil pressure sender. Fab up a simple bracket off the block to hold guage, Then route a short piece of tubing to mechanical gauge. Simple. The gauges I used are oil filled about $17 each. I didn't want them in the cab. The thought 🤔 was to double check during maintenance...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.
