    HMMWV accessories/mods?

    My 1994 H1 6.5 came with a block heater so should not be a problem to install. Worse case check with your local former Hummer dealer. Just tell them it is an H1.

    Texas trailer inspection

    I just learned today that Texas is enforcing trailer inspections for ones over 4500 gross. M1101/02 should be OK without inspection.

    Let's hope Mr Wade continues to be a member here...so cut him a little slack and continue to thank him for assistance.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    OK, mine is M151A2 but we always called them a "jeep" when I was in the Army (1968-1977). Got the radiator fan shroud bracket resoldered on driver side. The shop also found a few small leaks and repaired them. All for $75.00!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The bumpers are fairly easy to find. I got mine before latest auction and the brackets were a challenge even then. I got some parts on ebay but had to go to Kascar for some. Be sure and order by part number. Brackets cost at least twice what bumper cost!

    M1101/M1102 Bows and Canvas Questions

    Don't know lower extremes but south Texas sun will destroy them over a period of years. I keep a plastic tarp over my trailer since it stationary. Cheap insurance considering replacement cost.

    Mounted 50 cal AMMO CAN STORAGE TRAYS on HMMWV?

    I really do not like to drill holes unless covered by a MWO. Having bought some vehicles where the previous owners did not care where they drilled was not a pleasant experience. I think it is a lot harder to repair a hole in a HMMWV than a steel vehicle. The rural fire people seem to really...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My brush guard was OD. I think that most of the early ones (angle iron) were OD.

    M1008 rear axle from long term storage

    Agree. Just remember how it might have been done 30 years ago. I doubt that total disassembly was part of the plan. I was there but not in that area of vehicle repair.

    M1009 seat covers

    I installed the Jatonka ones on my M1009. They are a good fit and look military. Also cooler in Texas heat.

    My new M1009

    Amazing job on the radio! Maybe you could post some of your methods on the radio restoration. There may be a thread already but this looks better than new!

    M1101 Low Voltage on Left Hand Brake/Turn

    I use dielectric grease on all connections. It prevents corrosion and makes it easier to connect/disconnect rubber plugs. I usually replace all old star washers.

    HMMWV accessories/mods?

    I drilled and tapped 2 holes in the airlift bumper in the same location as on my H1. You could attach to mud flap. If you have a spare mounted you could attach to that. There are a lot of options. Also you could use magnetic mounts on bumper or near pintle. I did not want to drill holes...

    M1101/M1102 Bows and Canvas Questions

    Both of mine with tops have same height bows. The center support plates are different and should be marked.

    diesel fuel additive

    I have used Stanadyne Performance Formula for about 20 years. HMMWV started fine in Kansas winters and now in Texas.

    HMMWV M998 Battery Cutoff Switch wire route / location

    That is what I did and got the idea from a thread here. The mini connector comes with wires attached so it is real easy to attach to your 24V charger. If you should ever actually slave to another vehicle be sure and review the TM before doing it.

    New Addition to the Fleet

    I had an M38A1 years ago. I think you will find it fun and fairly easy to work on. I was never able to stop transfer from leaking. Probably needed a rebuild.
