    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Before you cry, see if this is a head gasket rather than a cracked head. If gasket, replacement isn’t joyful BUT it is a lot cheaper.

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    I honestly don’t understand where this is going. I don’t see a diagnosis yet. I don’t understand what everyone’s talking about battery chargers. If this gentleman is able to turn the engine by hand for several revolutions, in my mind that goes against Hydro lock because Hydro lock would not...

    Monroe Magnums, because for some of us on Steel Soldiers, only a Magnum is big enough to fit.

    Small leak bottom of fuel cell. RTV curing SLOWLY. Might replace with self tapping screw and rubber and RTV as a gasket. New Rico Rhino spare tire carrier about to be installed. Tire day so all muscles gating a workout. Just 4 more to go.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Driveshaft will be done Wednesday. Batteries are out. They are all from 2020. Two so far are taking charge. Two have not been connected to the charger yet. I will use them to get things started and then look at new batteries when she is roadworthy. Shocks just arrived. Gonna see about...

    Fluidampr on a M1165A1 REV

    You discussed the same questions in that other Hummer Forum IIRC. As much as I love Will L,, he pushes things like FASS and Leroy harmonic balancer/ gear timing equipment, potentially harder than they need to be pushed.

    Fluidampr on a M1165A1 REV

    You want to plan replacing a harmonic balancer that literally almost no-one does… before talking about fluid changes on hubs, transmission, X-fer case, engine, power steering, brakes, fuel system…and discussing EESS vulnerability, replacing ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rod ends…...

    HMMWV won't start, transmission light is on

    Shift into neutral and see if it cranks. Shifter switch may be fried. Go behind dash and check start switch wires. Run a hot wire to the solenoid and see if it engages or is fried. Check wire from PCB to starter/solenoid and see if it is energizing.

    Rear axle out. In the process of being re-tubed. That recommended U-joint tool did great GeneralD. Many thanks! Front axle has forklift damage too. So do BOTH rear shocks. I’m assured that the forklift operator was careful and used both his cane and his seeing eye dog. 😖 Purchased a turret...

    Air System Issue - Brakes Locked Up

    Torn hose. Loose fitting. Broken valve? Soapy water and spray gun and isolate leak and post pictures.

    Misfire from possible fuel issue?

    What type of vehicle? If you have a 6.2 engine, the harmonic balancer has a nasty habit of getting loose and you start shaking like crazy. Edit-seems like your sig line states 2004 M1123… If you’re harmonic, balancer itself has gone bad, that can also cause shaking. That is in addition to...

    LMTV FMTV Max Elevation?

    N/a Diesel hates elevation. Supercharged Diesel does ok. IIRC, FMTV are all turbo.
