From what I understand, the keyed start switch requires that the original hole be drilled larger. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since that would mean that you can never go back to using the original switch, it's a no go for me. I'll get the door locks and lockable kill switch.
Went muddin the other day and noticed a lot came up through the floorboards. Not a big deal, but I'd like to at least protect the battery compartment (see pic). Anyone seen a solution for this?
Just noticed the rear halfshaft is seeping. Fulled it up with Gear Oil but planning to take a closer look this weekend. Anyone got a suggestion for the part numbers for seals, etc. I should buy to prepare for the job?
Thanks,
The only thing that happened out of the ordinary recently is the other day, it was raining heavily and the truck wouldn't start. I attempted starting it several times, sometimes holding the switch in the Start position for 10-15 seconds. White smoke would blow out the exhaust pipe, but the motor...
Ok, I will test em. Strange though, as they only have 200 miles on them. Truck has been sitting on a base for 8 years though, so things are bound to happen with that long period of non-use. If glow plugs test fine, I was thinking it could be a wiring short or something like that...
Just noticed a new problem on the Humvee. When switching from stop to run on a cold morning, the Glow Plug Wait Light just flashes quickly, whereas before it would stay lit for a few seconds, until the plugs were warmed up. I wait several seconds anyway, and the truck starts up fine, but am...
I am looking for someone who can make a run from Antioch, CA to Saratoga Springs, Utah. The item is less than 500lbs and just needs to be secured on a flatbed (HMMWV Hardtop Roof Kit). Send me a PM if you can make the run in the next few weeks. Thanks!
Interesting... So I took the 200lb wheel & tire to five major tire shops in my area to find out if I can (and should) reverse the tread, some national chains. Four of them said they can't do it. Some said it'll break their equipment. One (Quality Tire, who mainly does commercial tires) said they...
Nice truck. So if there is no directional arrow on the sidewall, is it safe to say they're non-directional?
In your reference picture, the tire tread is pointed in opposite directions, which is actually how I see most of the HMMWV's. Driver side pointing toward the rear and passenger toward...
HMMWV Tires - Directional or Non-Directional?
Hello,
Humvee tires are described often as non-directional, but they have the tread points going in one direction. Are they still non-directional, even though the points could face different directions?
