    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    short sleeves are over rated. Send us some pics when you’re back in your speedo. 😱🤢🤮 High fifties last week. 40’s now. I love global warming. Looking for my beachfront house in NYC to become the new Miami.

    Batteries reversal Mishap

    manual or pushbutton light control box? New owner? Did they forget to turn the manual light control on? Ask simple stuff prior to the drive.

    Dummy!

    My least favorite was wondering why I couldn’t turn over the engine. Batteries? PCB? Blown wires? Three speed tranny wasn’t in neutral. 🙄

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    Indian motorcycle company was trying to make a starter BUT the problem was battery technology was not yet advanced enough. FYI, Toyota FJ40 series gasoline engines all had hand crank rods until the 1980’s. Best, T

    M1165, are you sure RWH does those?

    Is there a way to ignore entire threads?

    Some thread topics are just not for everybody. Any way to press a virtual button and ignore an entire thread?

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    The more I read this thread the more I agree with papakb. This is a potentially dangerous project that is a fool’s errand. You will create a runaway unstoppable engine and you will be farked. The only way to do this is to manually activate the existing cutoff, but why? I believe papakb has...

    M998 with Brush Guard - any off the shelf options for winch mount?

    That way you risk high center on the cable and you’re screwed front AND back IMHO.

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    If you bypass, make sure you include an easily accessible ball valve as a check valve to stop fuel flow.

    5/8" Ballistic Windshield - Impulse Buy turns Cluster #$@&

    A more simple answer is call the place you bought them from, find out who bought the four left windshields, and work out an old fashioned deal. 😉

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    Papa. I read the fine print… This unit is NOT continuous use as our rigs might need more than 125 amps on a continuing basis. Maybe CamO would know more.

    Starter runs as soon as battery connected.

    I have some old KDS smartbox relays. Let me know if you want or need them. I would just rebuild the unit with the plans I posted, but if you wanna do you I might have the relay you need. PM me if you want that route.

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    CamO is right! Erector sets and Legos and Duplos taught kids more than any computer game!!! Same with RadioShack electronic project kits.

    top speed

    I think the major disconnect here is the fact that Humvees look cool, but they are meant for the military. The military formations run at 40 mph. They are not looking for high speed unless you get one of the rare vehicles with a Rod Hall suspension and drivetrain. Even then, pulling a horse...

    Transmission- or differential issue?!

    Mogman is correct. Tough love BUT you should have been able to spot this prior to pulling the diff cover. We all just want you to be safe and happy. Now check the hubs for leaks and looseness.

    What are major differences between M1167 M1151A1

    I would think that some were meant to be heavily armored and as such needed heavier springs and such.

    That is a KDS smartbox.

    Starter runs as soon as battery connected.

    I was thinking the same thing. KDS EESS especially is all solid state. SSI boxes are also all solid states. All the boxes aside from maybe the Amtek/Prestolites have breadboards with IC’s. Easy for units like that to blow an IC or part of the breadboard and have weird issues. What EESS PCB do...

    Correct. A pin. Perhaps I need a new prescription?
