I had to rebuild one of mine for a sticking parking brake lever. I didn't have to replace the parts you mentioned, just cleaned them up and used a caliper rebuild kit for all the seals.
Yes, they are very likely standard off the shelf parts; you just need to figure out what they match in the...
I had some binding, and replacing idler arm fixed it.
I also occasionally had an issue with the turn signal auto cancel feature managing to point straight on into one of the cancelling pins and that would cause the wheel to not turn properly either. Wasn't very often but did happen when just...
You have that backwards.
If the wait light stays on because of a failure in the start box, then it can burn out the glow plugs. Engine will start easy the first time because of new glow plugs, but they will all burn up after that.
Test the glow plugs to see if they are good or not.
Test for...
Yeah.
The relays I ordered are single pole double throw, and have both the normally closed side and a normally open side. Wiring through the normally closed side should give power until the turn signal is energized.
I plan to just tap into the turn signal and T off of it to make a parallel...
Last rock chip I picked up was completely out of my field of view, way off to the side of the glass, so no interference with my vision.
It was, however, almost dead center on the dash camera lens.
Honestly it took about 10 minutes to replace.
Only real issue is 2 of the machine screws on each marker were corroded to the point I had to drill the head off to remove. Screw is #10 x 24 7/8" long and used a nylock nut on the inside. The rear are 5/8" long. Parts manual gave different...
Finally got around to replacing the dead marker light in the rear. Had the power wire broken off at the light, so no way to fix.
Other three lights worked, but were a little dim. I thought it was just the lenses.
Nope. As soon as I installed the new marker light, the other three went dead...
Manuals are too big to upload here, so here are links to the newest versions of the ECV/REV manuals that I know of.
I didn't see the 20 level manuals for ECV/REV in the TM section already. These are the 2009 revision.
-24P parts...
Part 1 of 2 2009 version . The year of the version update isn't listed until page 7.

There are only two series of HMMWV manuals, one for the first 3 generations (The M998 through M998A2 and variants) and one for the ECV/REV models.
Then they update the manual over time.
So the manual for the M1114 was updated several times to include the newer models.
You need the 30 June 2009...
My chains came from a buddy that was still active duty and had access to the turn in area where stuff went before it was disposed of.
Looks like all the regular vendors for HMMWV parts don't have any in stock.
The closest to what the military ones look like are probably these. They don't have...
So far I've only used the military HMMWV snow chains on my truck. They did a good job on ice covered snow, but I imagine there are better options out there.
One of these years I plan to finally buy a second set of tires and get studs installed into them for winter driving and off road...
I'd say you're definitely above what can be sustainably handled by the 12V tap on the regulator.
The Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter can be run with up to 5 units in parallel and have a built in relay that just needs wired to a switched power source or a regular switch to turn it on/off. Sounds...
Either failing glow plugs or some of them aren't getting power to them, which is more likely a harness issue than box issue.
Just because they were replaced doesn't mean they are good. I've seen people install brand new parts and they failed the next day. There are also a lot of cheap glow...
No idea why the auction company does some of the stupid stuff they do, or if it was the last unit that had the trucks before turning them in stealing parts and leaving the ruined ones in the trucks. Removing belt to take parts from the system would be logical. Cutting/removing for theft...
Simplest method if using a 24-12 step down converter is the Orion 70 amp by Victron. It has a built in relay that just requires a 24V signal to turn it on and off.
The fan circuit is an easy to access circuit for switched power on a 3 speed truck, and a 4 speed can use that or the input signal...
If you are installing a 12v system, then using a converter like the Victron Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter that has a built in relay to it will disable everything if you have the relay wired to a switched power source like the heater fan circuit. Or you can wire in your own relay.
A relay...
