    What are my options with a 60 amp alternator?

    The alternator will put out plenty of power for all of the things you listed plus much, much more. The reason you see the higher amp alternators in some HMMWV's is so they can run a massive amount of electronic gear. Just FYI. None of your normal automotive electronic equipment will work with...

    What are my options with a 60 amp alternator?

    As long as you have a 24volt winch CB and telephone absolutely. If you want to use 12 volts you're going to need to put a DC to DC converter in. I would recommend also buying a 24volt winch I don't think you can get a converter big enough to power a winch. Take a look at the those military guys...

    Adding old oil to fuel?

    I am not doubting your experience but I wonder how adding lubrication caused a knock? How much did you use? I am adding 16 oz per tank.

    Adding old oil to fuel?

    You will be shocked at how much quieter your engine runs. It really surprised me.

    Adding old oil to fuel?

    I use 2 stroke oil. It really helps lube the injector pump. The new low sulfer stuff doesn't lubricate well.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What drivers seat base do you have? The older style or the newer one that raises and lowers? Also did you pull the factory track system off the jeep seat and bolt directly to the hmmwv seat base / battery cover or did you mount track and all? A few more pics would be appreciated. I have a...

    exhaust pipe

    Take it to a good exhaust shop and get them to bend you a new pipe. Have them install it and don't worry about it anymore. I don't think you will hurt anything on the motor but you may have carbon monoxide issues and it probably smells terrible.

    Light Bars for my HMMWV

    With something like light bars definitely use relays. I would put the bars on separate relays and the interior lights on a single relay unless you are using a pile of lights. For the radio and such just use the fuse to control it.

    Light Bars for my HMMWV

    I am going to get a blue sea fuse panel and tap 24 volts from the battery and run to the fuse block. I am going to run my interior lights as well as the light bars and rear cubes from the 24 volt block. As far as routing the actual power wires I am going to bring the power wires through the...

    Light Bars for my HMMWV

    I think I am going to run a duel civi light bar on mine. I know it's a bit frowned on here but I think it will suit my needs best. I am just going to bend up a bar to mount to the windshield hinges and remove the bumpers along the top of the windshield frame and make a support out of them...

    M998 driven to fast

    Just hit Google and search for HMMWV ground issue there are quite a few different threads here and elsewhere on the troubles hmmwv's have with grounding. The best thing you can do is get a new ground harness and install it. Or you can make your own.

    Wheel Leak

    Here is an exploded view. The tm's have all the info you will need to troubleshoot and repair it.

    Wheel Leak

    It really depends on where it is leaking. It could be missing the cap (not very likely). It could be the seal where the CV plugs in (more likely). Neither are very difficult.

    Wheel Leak

    My guess is that it is the hub leaking. There is a planetary gear set in there.

    HMMWV accessories/mods?

    Where did you pull your power from for your overhead console? Also is that a hydraulic or an electric winch?
