    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    I have a magnetic light (OBulb) stuck to the red dot aircon since it's a steel housing, and when I need light I turn it on.

    Towning home a M1101 I won

    One other thing you might find is the operators manual CD behind one of the front landing legs. I know when I bought my trailer from a guy I know, it looked nearly new, and that CD was still there, so obviously they never used the legs

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What would be the point of this when there are plenty of fender mounted condensers available? Also seems like it would quickly collect a lot of mud/dirt/debris in that location.

    35” Tires

    I don't think I've heard of anyone using smaller tires. Usually it's people asking how big they can go.

    As I hurry up and wait... SHIPPING a HMMWV?

    It's not so much the coffee shop brand, but all the complicated names that people have come up with to order coffee. That shop basically had a dozen flavorings you could add, and only a couple types and sizes of coffee type drinks you could pick from. None of the fancy crap that the snobs up in...

    As I hurry up and wait... SHIPPING a HMMWV?

    I drove through Nevada to get mine. From Olympia it was a 2400 mile 66 hour round trip, with one night in Beatty. They didn't have a starbucks, but the coffee shop guy did have a sense of humor and decent omelets.

    Purchasing new tires

    Run flats are usually determined by rim type and pressure you're going to run. There are many arguments about it, but it usually boils down to if you are never going to air them down, then the beadlock/runflat assembly isn't absolutely necessary to have, but it's certainly nice if you do get a...

    Purchasing new tires

    Feltz tire sells Wrangler MT and BFG Baja tires that are date codes newer than 2018 and 100% tread (mounted, stored, but never installed) for $275 each plus freight. I ordered a set, as have several other people in my area, and everyone is happy with them (BFG Baja) https://feltztire.com/

    Anyone seen this kind of pintle hitch before?

    great if you are towing. Not so great if you want to use the tailgate to climb in and out of the truck.

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    As mentioned before, you can swap it with one from a different cylinder to see if the problem moves with the injector, or stays in the cylinder. EDIT: Just to clarify, my intention with this comment is only to run the engine the bare minimum amount of time to determine if it is in fact the...

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    Next thing I would probably try is doing a cylinder compression test. It does require a diesel compression tester, and pulling glow plugs to do, but in theory will tell you if you have a valve issue

    SECM Manual HMMWV

    I wish I had one, instead I have the BEOD so none of the cool toys like the compressor.

    White smoke at idle and driving.

    as long as you are being consistent with how you are measuring the temps it doesn't matter as much exactly how you do it. There will be a little difference, but not a huge amount.

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    I managed to replace both sides of the fitting with standard hydraulic coupler by reaching through the fan blades. It took a while, and was uncomfortable, but doable.

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    As was mentioned, any electrical component can fail in either an energized or deenergized position. If it fails closed, then power will be flowing through it all the time. If it fails open, then no power will flow. Also to mention, the TDM can fail while energized, thus preventing the fan...

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    If the thermoswitch fails and is energizing the circuit, then it disables the fan. When there is no power through the circuit, the fan is engaged. In other words, applying power through the switch turns ON the cadillac valve, which in turn disables engine power to the fan (fan still spinds...

    6.5L Idle

    I'd say get a cheap optical tachometer and figure out exactly how fast the idle actually is, before trying to "fix" a problem that might not even exist.
