    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Could be tires? And all the reasons of balance. Surplus setting flat for years, weak rotten side walls, big fat patch on the inside, bent rim, lumpy air :hammer: and more, etc. Look over ALL things joints, upper / lower ball joints, tie rod end joints, steering linkage joints, idle arm...

    That's a beer a wheel ! Oil change for a six pack?, CAMO

    Installed new rear view mirrors on the X-Doors of my M998. I can now see the right mirror !

    I would go a step futher... two second graders. YES we deal with it as a hobby, some a business. The other rigs I have owned had a level of simple design, form and function. Yes, buzz words, but made more sense. Humv not so much at first. I do like, LIKE (not love) my rig. Just have to...

    New M998 Owner - White-Blue Smoke

    Sounds like you're going to have it under control. Thinking aloud here on the blue smoke thing. Not knowing ?? did you already change the oil? For whatever the reasoning / science / product allegiance...what oil are you running? Slipping and a sliding, CAMO

    New M998 Owner - White-Blue Smoke

    Welcome to the group. In doing so... I would like to point you to the FREE manual that didn't come with your new rig. https://hummerhuren.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/hmmwv_test-diagnostics.pdf The chapters are an easy read. Take a look at 3.5. I get this isn't your first rodeo too...

    HMMWV Ground Shunt

    That wire and switch product goes in line with the injector pump solenoid. Hide the switch so the buggie man can't find it. With switch open NO FUEL, no start, no brainer. Sure it works... But at that price, wire must be $ 8.75 a foot and a buck for the switsh. I get the labor and parts...

    Installed new rear view mirrors on the X-Doors of my M998. I can now see the right mirror !

    I am OK with the later style West Coast Mirrors on the A pillar. HumV not the easiest rig to see out of anyway. Flat glass with reflections all around makes for a "House of Mirrors" like at a county fair. You got to double check before making a move and check again... day or night. Add in...

    HMMWV Ground Shunt

    So now there's a fuel cut-off solenoid. That's a good idea for the thief thing. Get two blocks and found on the side of the road...dead. Almost like the netrual safety start switch. Not stock. You didn't clue US in on that little "tid bit" Keep in mind... you now have something in line...

    What is the ideal Humvee for a starter?

    There's days that would be WAY more fun. NOT, CAMO

    Still having starting issues. Glow plugs not working. Changed everything I can think of PLease Help

    Oh, I see said the blind man. Nice pictures worth a thousand words. Go back through some of the previous posts. I feel they will apply this go around. HumV not always as easy as "plug and play" There's these little gremlins known to hang out under the hood. Going to need "Buster Tool Kit"...

    My New HMMWV

    I'am the little dot getting smaller in your rear view mirror. 😆 I cruise right at 50 MPH. 6.2L - 3 speed. For a short "HIGH SPEED RUN" (down hill of course) maybe 61.5 MPH which translates to Mach 2.3 in a Hmmwv. No hurry here I guess. Getting there is more important than whipping out the...

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    That's using the old bean. :hammer: Cool Idea ! Any chance they were jalapeno flavored 🌶 , CAMO

    Transmission Tube

    I would normally not do this as we are all Utube saturated. Ran across a "good Ol boy" transmission shop. Simple guy knows his stuff IMO. Gets right to it. Has a 4l80 up too. Covid fever got me I guess, CAMO

    Still having starting issues. Glow plugs not working. Changed everything I can think of PLease Help

    I did read that about the changing of the harness and though that was a quick swap. Wasn't thinking (Me real BAD) that someone would still running one. So sorry about the BAD info. So one quickie test is to check for voltage there on the glow plug feeder connector on the box with helper...

    And some of us love those Smart Boxes. CAMO loves Chinese food... Not the boxes and now you know why.

    You definitely have GOOD batteries, CAMO

    Still having starting issues. Glow plugs not working. Changed everything I can think of PLease Help

    How does the ENGINE HARNESS connector look. Check the pins REAL carefully. May even have to open it up to see what's going on. VOM with sharp probe to poke into the insulation at the plug can work to. PIN "D" is the one of interest. Remember it could be cycling on and off, so might need a...

    Surgeon with no gloves? One on one with the HumV... Got it. I like the bright fluorescent green ones from Auto Zone. Here comes the alien and the HumV is nervous, CAMO

    1991 HMMWV overheating

    Can't say for sure... I don't think it's out of your league. You're just on first base and heading to second. Big hitter on the bench here. Just be clear on sending the correct signs. (symptoms) Can't get home without runing the bases in order while playing smart and hard. Watch out for...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    TOBASH... I got to ask, Where are you putting your hands to get the back of the fingers all greased up? That HumV must be really clean now, CAMO Little tip... if you have to bare hand it ?? Use lots of hand cream. They will clean-up a lot easier and smell good too.🤝
