That's the way to do it or snag a 24 volt bulb out of an old military lamp housing. Tap into existing tail lamp circuit, left or right side. Save the online 50 bucks on a license plate set-up. You will need lots BUCKS down the road. DIY and save, CAMO

Here's how by the book. Now you see, CAMO

You got it "fuel tank vent filter" Don't swim in the deep end, without a snorkel kit. Winner chicken dinner, CAMO

Not to sure that's the place to tap. The bright, dim, off setting in the "battle lighting switch" uses a small wattage resistor in the switch designed to handle the "DIM" for the dash lamps and shifter LED. Not so sure ?? of what lights SS users are working with and even LED (couple of cheap...

Karl's RIGHT! :D That's the best advice I have read in months. It is all in the book/s. One step at a time, page by page, then section. Anyone can do this. CAMO

That would mess with most mechanics once. Something fishy here. With them swapped and block temperature below 85 degrees +/- , it should have started and shut down normally. As soon as the block went above 85, it should have shut down and end of story... till it cools back down. If you...

LOUD and PROUD, Sweet. Maybe won't be that bad, but bad, CAMO ​Up load a video rolling down the street.

A BIG DIY shout out to Infidel, :grd: YES you can and save while you learn. All along as with my other MVs, it's a DYI project. The minute you show up at a shop (paint, electrical, mechanical, even a oil change in your green machine it is like "OH HMMWV' must have big bucks. Well yes and...

Cable need to handle 200 amps with a peak and over 400 when hard starting / cranking (starter only add another 100 for glow plugs for intermittent requirement) (data from TM) It does seem a big over-kill and note it does go straight to the starter. Other concerns, electric winch or not...

Not SCR's. Old school Power MOSFET. Each about 60 Amp rating. Common 30 year old design and components. (same as HMMWV) Inductive kickback (spike/s) from control relay and starter KILL boxes. Two ways to fail... Blows open, good for saving glow plugs, but now can't get truck to start...

You going straight pipe exhaust? VA va VARoom, CAMO

Nice picture of a truck, But is it for sale? Ah, forget it. Minimum bid the way it sits 60K plus and fees. LOL Someone hasn't stripped it yet. I'll pass, CAMO

YEA, besides 45 MPH could get you a ticket. LEO can / may cite the driver of impeding traffic flow on major highways. Here in California you drive MV's through the rear view mirrors. Move it or get run over, CAMO

Sure, a quick walk around, kick the tires, maybe check the oil... what could go wrong ?????????? Many of us do like an adventure. Just reading about it and the crazy S#!T we all may have done, go till it blows. Keep us posted, but really... IMO this is asking for a HUGE disaster. Do it...

GET THE POPCORN, Guy's and Gals... From my bench to the BIG SCREEN, GLOW PLUG the MOVIE, the BURN OUT in SIXTY SECONDS.... The cast > Good plug normal 2.9 OHMS @ room temperature. The voltage played by straight guy "Twenty Four Volts DC" The plot line: In the beginning plug starts heating up...

If you believe in your voltmeter, then it is a little high. Read chapter 12 > https://hummerhuren.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/hmmwv_test-diagnostics.pdf There's more to it, but it's a start, pun intended. CAMO

What''s with the loose nut in picture #3 ? Hope it's not extra. CAMO

Here's a good place to find the TM's. https://www.hmmwvinscale.com/technicalmanuals.htm Both the Trailer Manual, Tow Manual and the Take it apart Manuals. TM's for everything and everybody. CAMO

The deal-E-O with the 200 Amp 28 /14 alternator are multi fold. Big as heck to handle added loads and hold down that side of the truck, brushless design, noiseless for radios system, less headaches, 28 volt for all things military. With GI Joe swapping in and out batteries, it is very hard to...

I am sure I will take some heat for this... Why all the fuss with an August 2011, seven year old battery? I just look at old batteries and get acid holes burnt in my clothes. LOL. I could take three lemons, some rusty nails, couple pieces of wire and get 12 volts on a meter. Not to sure it...
