    PURCHASED HMMWV WITH NO MODEL YEAR ON DOCUMENTS - TEXAS

    The 1097R1 were part of the recapitalization program, where they took standard versions and modified them to the heavy variant. I'm going to guess with that serial number it was one of the earlier ones in the recap program and is a 3 speed truck. That would put it as pre 1994 for original build...

    Wiper Arm

    It should pull straight off with a little effort. Nothing locking it onto the shaft.

    Ton rating

    When I registered mine, the licensing office put down the gross weight as 6k lbs. I finally saw it after a couple years and bumped it up to 10k. WA doesn't really care what the paperwork says, as long as they get their tax money from it.

    Ton rating

    1097 heavy variants are actually 10,300 lb, so that pushes them up to class 3

    Remove surge brakes from

    looking at the pricing, the 3" lunette slider is apparently only sold by Croft, and they say it's over $400 for a replacement, so if you want reversible the 4 hole one I linked earlier is probably a better option. Though occasionally you can pick up the entire surge assembly from auction for...

    Remove surge brakes from

    Several other people in the past have had the ring cut off and the channel welded on in it's place, which would allow you to have it more offset/lower, then add the bolt on coupler of your choice. Should only be done by a reputable weld shop. Looking at just the channels, a 5 position one that...

    Remove surge brakes from

    If you remove the hydraulic surge you can still use the parking brake. The below info is if you are wanting to get rid of the surge brake assembly because you don't want the pintle ring. As you are legally required by your state to have trailer brakes, I can't recommend removing them or...

    Why won’t my doghouse clip closed

    For mine I usually end up bracing my back on the passenger seat and using my feet to push on the doghouse really hard in order to get the top clips closed.

    Fan Clutch

    There are only 2 series of manuals for the HMMWV. The first set covers all trucks from the first ones to the A2 series, which includes the M1123. The second set of manuals covers the ECV/REV trucks. The M1123 is the same an an M1097A2 truck, with the main exceptions being it doesn't have the...

    M200A1 - Commercial Generator Fit?

    I doubt you will find a commercial generator that perfectly lines up with the existing mounting holes, but stranger things have happened. What commercial generator are you talking about? You're asking such a generic question that it's impossible to give a good answer to it. You have 43"...

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    Yes, he is definitely a reputable source. MacMotors is another, along withKascar and genuinehumveeparts.com/ There are some more, but those are the main ones.

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    unplugging the cadillac valve engaged the fan, so that eliminated the cadillac valve as the problem. Unplugging the Thermostat switch didn't make the fan engage, and you tested the switch itself and had continuity cold and open when hot, so it tested good. The only other thing in the system that...

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    If it isn't the temp switch, then it's the TDM. The fan fails to engaged, so it has to have power to it to turn off. Only two sources of power are temp switch and TDM. If it's not the temp switch, it's the TDM (provided everything is wired how it's supposed to be; I always feel the need to add...

    Is there a separate parts manual for the ECV M1165A1 parts?

    6 looks like it's the roof assembly itself. 24 appears to be the overhang or "gutter" as it's often referred to.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    all true, but I'm more concerned about what the actual voltage is at the batteries with the gauge sitting right at the top of the green. If it's 29V or below, then the little spikes up above that shouldn't be of particular issue. If it's above that, depending on your battery type, you might...

    Is there a separate parts manual for the ECV M1165A1 parts?

    Do you have the 1998 version of the parts manual or the 2002 updated one? I did a search for the part numbers you listed above, and they aren't in the manual. Then a web search to find the NSN for them. 12480837 is NSN 9535-01-548-6632 12480838 is NSN 9535-01-548-6633 The NSN shows up in the...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Don't trust the gauges. Using a multimeter, what voltage are the batteries reading while all of this is happening?

    Jump Start Hmmwv?

    I was under the impression that a generator is capable of dealing with completely dead batteries which is why the military uses them instead of alternators, which do NOT like trying to charge them when completely dead. I know I've helped replace alternators in vehicles with failed batteries...

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    That one doesn't have a panel for the straps; those straps are hooked to loops installed on the tailgate itself.

    Introduction & a warning

    I believe I read on one of the articles about it the idea was to bring lighter versions up to snuff to where they would be able to have armor bolted to them if needed; so all of them became the heavy variant no matter what it started life as.
