    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Making some rear half doors with a cheap set of 2 man blanks. Used soft door hinges and cut the floor insert down to clear the rumble seats. Field expedient latching mechanism functions better than it looks.

    Wait light Quick blink only

    For what its worth, At the 8:19 mark, they show how to check all the pins on the "Glow Plug Controller". I'm not sure if this is an earlier style unit than the TSU and it may be altogether different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBA0QRg0a8g

    Cooling fan freaking out?

    Did you check voltage before or after the delay switch?

    H1 viscous clutch fan retrofit

    Ive read that bit of advice a few times in the archive. And about grinding off some tabs on the WP flange(?) I have an H1 application water pump from AutoZone and there is a centering dowel on it that fits perfect. Im going to surmise that the MIL water pump has a different mounting flange...

    H1 viscous clutch fan retrofit

    Since I need to change out my stretched out wobbly belts and refurbish the cooling system, I was thinking about getting rid of the overly complicated hydraulic fan clutch system and replace it with a conventional viscous clutch. I still get annoyed when that loud assed thing kicks on. I read...

    And while we are discussing the benefits of 50/50 coolant, It also lubricates the seals of the water pump. Besides the rust and sediment, you will kill the water pump in short order.

    Humvee 6.5L engine block coolant plug

    Yes. Mine has that same pipe with a little rusty valley runoff now and again.

    Salt and pepper

    Growing up in the seventies, Im partial to the MERDC four color camo pattern. I like how you can change one or two main colors to suit the terrain.

    Salt and pepper

    "salt and pepper" made me think of the old pixelated "Dual-Tex" camo... But the only pics I find of a pixelated HMMWV are from video games like TOBASH's pic I bet a HMMWV would look pretty awesome done in the "Dual Tex" with location appropriate MERDC colors

    Humvee steering wheel

    I'm pretty sure they are the same. My 93 came with the early skinny OD wheel and the newer thick black A2 wheel bolted right on.

    My wiper blade retrofit.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Getting the Transfer case resealed after the RTV gave out on the top of the case. Leak tested the cooling loop. I should probably paint a little silver cross on it before reinstalling to ward off the vampires.

    Where do you draw the line $$$

    I would look into fixing. Im partial to ramsey winches as they never let me down when I used them on junk yard car haulers for years

    what is this junk in the fuel cannister?

    Yuck. You need to drain the tank and see what comes out

    Worked on cleaning up a scroungy looking 1994 A1 that my buddy is finally getting around to selling.

    Part ID

    Are they all the same part number (-1) or are there any (-2)s in the pile? They should also have an "L" or an "R" stamped on one end. I could use an "R" (-2) for mine.

    M998 headlight issues

    There is always a great chance that both lights are toast. So test for voltage there first. That being said, my headlight malfunction experience with the military headlight switch consisted of no headlights unless the "headlight on" lever was held hard over to the stop. If you let go of the...
