    Hmmwv Blue Smoke and Stutter on Startup

    13 degrees last week... Started first time. No fussing, No smoking, No coughing. Diesel "rattle" with cold advance for 10 seconds to a purr. Who said the desert was hot? CAMO

    Toe Jam

    I would add after one tears it all apart... Wire brush all the threads, blow it out and anti seize them up. Cranking on them with a pipe wench is one thing then OK. More to know than toe with the HumV. Proper toe doesn't make it go in the right direction either. Research thrust line >>...

    Generator Friction Noise

    Here's a thought... Might want to check if one of the mounting ears has broken. Usually the lower front one. Just saying, CAMO

    HMMWV M998 presentation across the Atlantic.

    You don't need pictures. Guess one could soak / spray some of that back "flex sealer" stuff on it. Your the boss........... You got it! Spot on, CAMO https://www.flexsealproducts.com/product/flex-seal/

    Seal replacement

    I am not sure you can get the seal out because of the "C" shaped diff mount (left or right side hanger paws) overlaps the seal just enough to be a PITA... as in just pull the diff and do all of them. ( 3, in and outputs) I could be missing something in the translation ... But couldn't do it...

    eHMMVW

    Not sure why one would want to use any of the drive train. Four smaller motors with simple gear reduction to each portal hubs. Fancy computer to manage traction / spin control / sync / lock-up. Selective wheel drive 1, 2 , 3 or 4... front or rear??. Include all the regen / braking stuff...

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    Another part of the proud HumV owners log book. Read and heed all the safety info. Remove ALL the air by removing the little schrader valve thingie FIRST. O ring and torque wrench by the book as said. Many ways to remove the runflat. See the many U-tube videos. Some funny, some clever...

    Shifter Box Rivet Nut Installation Help

    Do you have two switches on the shifter assembly or one. Another way to look at it 3 wires or 5? Are we going forward or backwards, CAMO

    24v battery maintainer set up help

    Question from the peanut gallery. When first time plugged in... do you have to step thru the settings to get to 24 volts and or type of cells?? That could get old real fast if it resets. Used them on emergency rig. To keep from ripping the cord out of the wall, ran it thur the steering wheel...

    Shifter Box Rivet Nut Installation Help

    Your more than half done... Note the wires (label if confusing) carefully twist and pull the connections at the "Packard connectors" one for the light and two for the neutral start switch. Remove the linkage pins and done. Snap a picture or five if memory is slipping. These nut clips might...

    400amp alternator

    This guy figured it out............. IMO, with it off (watching out for toe's or a hernia) hand spin and see what you got. Grinding, sloppy fit-up, bobble- wobble , etc... open it up and become the expert. I'am not sure at this point, but if someone put it together, one can surely take it...

    400amp alternator

    I got to ask... What are you going to do with 400 Amps? That's a lot of Woopie. You could thaw out all the pipes at once in Ohio this winter. Supersize that bugger... err burger combo, Jack...., CAMO

    power supply

    My thinking.... if it turns on and starts... for the moment your good. There are issues with the "Keyed Switches" so owners beware. (flakey cheap A$$ switches in many cases) My question in cold Colorado how did you get it started without glow plug action??? As for the other circuits best to...
