I've only owned my truck for about a year and a half, but my $0.02: If you're looking at a used HMMWV, look at it much like you would any other older vehicle. Are there fluid leaks, obvious corrosion anywhere, does it start and run like a diesel should? Do all the lights and gauges work. Is...

Aside from eBay, you could ask JuanPedro if he still has his? (https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?180067-HMMWV-M998-parts) or 86humv often has... well, almost anything :-) They really wouldn't be that hard to make from a piece of sheet aluminum as long as you anneal it during the...

I have this on a radio shelf It's a gutted RT-524 that contains a 24v audio amplifier. There's a 3.5mm audio jack that comes out from the radio to pick up audio from my phone or an MP3 player. That's piped to this A military speaker on the windshield frame. At full volume it's easy to hear...

Here in KS for registration of vehicles that came from out of state they just do a VIN inspection to (supposedly) ensure that it's not stolen/re-titled. I don't drive a lot after dark anyway. I have the light, but I want to fab up something better than just my steel plate before I install it.

Fleabay has a number of options. Right now I'm running a piece of plate steel with one hole for the airlift bumper bolt and two holes to mount the license plate

I remember one time driving from Grafenwoehr to someplace in the countryside and a butterbar got us completely lost. We wound up in this tiny Hamlet where he sent three deuce-and-a-halfs up a side street so narrow we could reach out and touch the buildings on each side. Unfortunately, where the...

FM 5-36? The bridge plates numbers are based on STANAG 2010 which is NATO's weight classification system...

Should we ask you how you know? :-)

Well, have you tried to reach across the tunnel to unzip the passenger window while driving? JK :-) I agree that the insides look a little odd.

This is going to sound crazy, but I'm posting it anyway: congratulations on being sensible. There are millions of people out there who have an idea in mind (like towing a massive trailer with a HMMWV) who won't listen when they're told it won't work out well. So imaginary internet points to you...

Meguiar's plastx. I used to use it to polish the plastic rear window of a convertible I owned. It works pretty well if you follow the directions.

And there's my dilemma. I think it's cool but it's not really how the trucks I used to drive were set up... I'll have to noodle on whether or not I want to do something that's definitely not early 90s Europe/Gulf War authentic. Do you know how the holes were plugged originally? None of my...

So at some point in its life, my HMMWV had a fording kit installed and then later removed. The hole in the dash where the switch used to be was filled in with a huge, ugly blob of body sealant. It looked pretty hideous so I removed the blob. But not there's a hole that lets in heat from the...

Good advice. I'll dig into that next

That's possible, but it's only ever happened when the wait light didn't come on. If the wait light comes on, I always get the voltmeter bounce after starting and when the preheating cycle is over it goes to green. I'm hoping it's not a sign that my control box is going...

I'm leaving it on RUN for 60 seconds before starting. It's not that the glow plugs don't need to come on for the vehicle to run, it's that they system doesn't need to preheat them. So the wait light never comes on. My assumption is that the control box "knows" that the engine is already warm...

A few days ago it was warm enough out that when I went to start my HMMWV the wait light didn't come on. I waited about 60 seconds and then started the engine The voltage gauge went into the yellow and stayed there. Usually it bounces between yellow and green for 60-90 seconds as the system runs...

I decided to put it outside the swing of the tailgate so I can still use it if the gate is down. It's a little hard to see, but it's right above the reverse light.
