There is a lot of information on SS for hmmwv control boxes, glow plug controllers and trouble shooting. If items are replaced are serviceable, then check the glow plug controller (gpc). Old Nartrons require their gpc and KDS yellow box requires its yellow band gpc. The EESS box does not...
Regarding glow plugs. I just worked on another HMMWV that someone put CUCV glow plugs in (grrrrrr!). Please note that:
HMMWV glow plugs are 24vdc and have a bullet connector on them.
CUCV type vehicles glow plugs are 12vdc and have a spade connector on them.
As most diesel people know, if...
The fan clutch is normal engage when engine is off. Therefore it will not spin freely. If engine is running and you hear it cycle, then it is working. Another test is to disconnect the TDM while engine is running. This will activate the clutch and lock the fan on. The hose feeding the...
WOW, this is my old build! I miss that truck and its capabilities!
The standard hmmwv fan clutch is the same for all engines (the geared drive is for later models and requires a LOT of mods). One change was a quick disconnect was added on the hose feeding the clutch itself. The cycling is...
I believe this is your problem as Ferroequinologist mentioned. Replace the light switch completely with new. Inside of the 3 lever light switch is bi-metallic switch that will interrupt power if too many amps are drawn OR you have a short somewhere. If problem still occurs with new switch...
Well I have now replaced steering gear box due to input seal leak including new pitman. Flush ps lines and fill with new atf. Flushed brake system after I replaced the proportioning valve. I also replaced the shifter box assembly with new unit.
Today I put about ten miles on the truck...
Yes. The dark plastic is the lense. They can be red, green or blue plastic. Also, yours have been melted from the bulbs being to high of wattage. This was a common problem with the early series hmmwv. I believe a MWO was assigned to replace them with a lower wattage bulb. The bulb is...
Still turning wrenches on this truck and the pm items are getting knocked down. Replaced drivers side exhaust manifold, new glow plugs, new washer bottle/pump, new tail light buckets and covers, getting new glass today. It looks like I will have to clean cooling stack, lots of debris (might...
If you seek a hmmwv, look around the internet. Biggest supply is ebay.
nf6x: correct, they really do not change much. Since I am into these, I really like it when you find one that is not factory M998. It can make a truck stand out when put up for sale. I have had M1038 w/winch come in as...
Almost all early series hmmwv's are M998 which are 4 door or 2 door. Tub is the same and the rear seat bases are installed at AMG. The slant back trucks (M125,26,44,45 etc) are same seat configuration but some extra metal plating installed and ofcourse the slant back top. M1038 is a 4 four...
Danger Ranger: PM to be sent on price when done. This thread is not an ad!
Panzerwillie (via email pm): Sorry, no extra rear doors.
nf6x: You may have the only true M1037 with shelter carrier. I have an M1037 for many years and I removed the shims to level out the rear tires, and it still...
Heavy springs and perches, 3000lbs.. Good for shelters and ambulances bodies or perfect for that dump truck ride when empty!
HID light bar. Need one?! Very bright and add a nice look to truck.
