    [Q] 60 AMP to 200 AMP Gen upgrade on M998

    Old feeble newbee from a desert rat here, LOL. Throwing this out there... The 60 Amp alternator have an voltage adjustment. Easy to get at and set. 200 amp units do not. WAIT LED is supplied wth 24 volts and is controlled by the not so "smart control box". It provides a logic ground (pulls...

    EESS PCB replacement for the HMMWV ?

    :unsure: If all 8 plugs fail... Likely not going to start. LED's are a bright idea, CAMO

    What's the precise width of the military brushguard?

    Those numbers could be a bit off, do to the temperature coefficient at time of measurement and gravitational pull half way around the globe. Then again...everything is bigger in TEXAS, CAMO

    Picking up M1097 - New to Me

    Most all ran fine??? and I understand the excitement. Your first two sentences are the important mission IMO. Get down 3 hours, a quickie walk around, shake hands, strap it down, get back 3 hours, a nice lunch and smile all the way home... as it follows you in the rear view mirror. Lights...

    Cadillac valve

    You mean 'KITTY LITTER" lol Now I got a GO, CAMO

    Cadillac valve

    AHAaaa, Try it with compressed air and rubber tipped air/blow gun into the fan clutch fitting. Check for operation and listen for leak. Engine off. Easier to clean up air than oil. MR. CLEAN, CAMO

    HMMWV electrical issues

    New post and hello. Electrical questions like you have discovered are not always cut and dry. My first guess is. it could be a black wire. Well that's no help. Help is the road map of the HumV electrical system. To get the "ROAD MAP" look here> TM9-2320-280-20-3 and TM9-2320-387-24-2 both...

    Turn signal wiring

    This might help. It's in the TM shown below. With out the wire tags, this is going to be a fun puzzle... BUT doable. TM9-2320-280-20-3 and TM9-2320-387-24-2 both have full schematics at the end of the manuals. Google them or at the top of this HMMWV forum at TM's OK... I said it , TM CAMO

    Speedometer help

    You asked... so here's my 2 cents. Get a grip (easy... not honking vice grips) on the brass spinnnnie part and wire drills # 80, 70, 60, etc . Hi speed Dremel tool and perform a "root canal" 🦷on the little bugger. Let the tool do the work. Don't be in a hurry. Step up hole to next size...

    Humvee won't start

    Back to my post #10. Cut-off solenoid clicking (proper activation??) No fuel at return line now. Lift pump substituted and still no flow? This is pointing to IP ?? but last hooray check for fuel at pump input. Never read that fuel filter was serviced. Any chance there are check valves...

    Humvee won't start

    No fuel at injectors... OK. You said that. Not a directly related question. Is the WAIT light and voltmeter tracking Glow Plug action? Just a follow along question from the peanut gallery. One is not there yet and don't know your outside temperature should fuel show up at injectors. Pass...

    Anyone replaced a rear fender on a HMMWV?

    And a couple handful's of CLECO's and some body seam sealer. A little dab of goop and it will hold all night. Party ON, CAMO

    Humvee won't start

    JUST a guess... Biased on data and NO red herring's... IP is not playing nice. Having just purchased it and with my luck, it's coming off and going for a ride back to TN. You need fuel (a very little showing up at the injectors) when turning over engine. Try at a few more times with a wait...

    Humvee won't start

    Is your thumb calibrated to 3 to 6 PSI ?? I don't know ? So a guage would tell the real story. Flow too. Fill up a soda bottle half way in about 20 seconds of cranking. Now that's a test, LOL A lot of testing IM bs O... should have been done shortly after receiving said truck. Starting at...

    Humvee won't start

    Power to the top...Good. Means nothing if solenoid is open, HI resistance, KAput. Did they re-build it for 24 volts? My free guess here. Double check for the 24 volts at 54 lead under load of solenoid. Pierce wire, tap in and test again. IMO and history reading here....Based on the...
