    M1152 fan issue

    In my opinion, ditch the whole system and go for the viscious fan clutch, best upgrade I ever did, no hydrualics, TDMs, or Cadillac valves to worry about. You may want to check your Temperature Sensor, TDM, & Cadillac valve, I kept having these go out which made the fan stay on, here's a good...

    Highway Cruising Speed

    I'll put my flashers on it to be honest, I do this in the M35a2 all the time on fast highways where it can become a hazzard

    Highway Cruising Speed

    Just curious on what you guys cruising speeds are in the humvee and in which model? My 2002 M1123 best cruising speed is 2,300 RPMs at 60Mph, I have the blocky radio communication top so it's a bit of a drag on it, but either way I feel the 6.5 is very comfortable at 2,300 RPMs and still have a...

    First time Humvee owner, lifetime admirer w/ a Q...

    I would like to add if your generator still isn't charging, the clutch pulley is another thing to look at before replacing the generator, I've had 2 of these fail on me in the past. My first time experiencing this, I thought it was the whole generator and ended up replacing the whole thing when...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The 24v rooftop A/C is what I used in the humvee, the one I used in the deuce is pretty much the same thing, but it separates the compressor and condenser. I mounted the condenser on the roof and the compressor in the bed. I will duct the A/C to blow cold air from 4 different areas up front, one...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Not getting 24v at the batteries

    I heard about things like this happening, this is why I try to just stick with 24v accessories

    Not getting 24v at the batteries

    Yep, this was it, its the rear terminals that's 24v

    Not getting 24v at the batteries

    I finally almost finished hooking up my AC unit but ran into the issue of not getting 24V. I figured the one that I circled is where 24V is suppose to come from. My meter shows no volts at that terminal. The truck starts up and everything works properly, the batteries both charges at 14v

    Power Steering Pump Options?

    I would look at the PSI and make sure they're the same, but you should be able to make the civilian pump fit, you'll just need to make a bracket for it, anything can be done with some fabrication. Personally, I would stick with the military pump and take the bullet in the wallet. My pump is...

    Humvee Sound Heat Insulation

    This is similar to the mats I have in the bed from northern tools, they're incredibly thick and hard rubber

    Humvee Sound Heat Insulation

    I know its a dead thread but I find no point of starting a new one since this is here, where did you guys insulate to lower heat and sound? I've done the inside driver compartment, but I didn't do the rear, I just put a thick rubber mat in the back. I'm thinking about doing the firewall and...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Done all of this earlier, insulated the inside (Made sure to leave all of the drain holes opened) This is under hood insulation that's fire and water proof, 6 100ah Deep cycle batteries connected to 450W solar panels, electric split A/C (Ducts can be used in the driver compartment or taken out...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Lol, I have the same problem with the doghouse, I have one of my top latches in but can't get the other to screw in

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Those pumps are surprisingly durable, I've use those to transfer oil and it still survived, even though it did pump the oil through very slowly

    Hybrid Humvees

    Interesting Edit, I've seen that one before, I don't know how that banks version can be useful in anyway with the batteries and inverter taking up all of the cargo area

    Purchasing my first Deuce

    If you're driving it back home then be aware that these trucks don't stop like a normal truck its size, keep your following distance a bit far from vehicles till you get use to it. (Had someone in a 2500 brake check me recently, guess he was mad because I was driving the speed limit) Don't...
