Not sure I understand this part of your Q. > transmission shifts into 2nd gear at 25 mph, then into 3rd at 45 mph! And when you crowd in take off, it’s worse. No guarantee but something to check. Kick-down switch / solenoid circuit. ??? Most neglected switch, hiding out on the right side of...

Maybe semantics in text or logic... or My logic IMO. Fact, Clutch is always engaged. Just try and turn it with the engine off. No can do. It will be locked to the hub, pulley and belts. Normal. With 30 to 90 plus PSI, it will disengaged and should free wheel. Anything different at this...

Secret word of the day... VICE-GRIPS PEE WEE, CAMO

It's a little ball and socket joint. (you knew that) Very tight fitting and a good chance it could get wasted in the process. That hex looking plastic is also pressed into the matching hex hole. Could come apart two way... pivot ball pops out of plastic hex ball socket (hard to see) or...

Just tested it and worked. Here's the link again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZevlfaLrmxM Or take a look at Utube title: "Hummwv day 2 catches on fire LOL" Nothing funny about loose, wiggly, clink, clank, bonk, buzz, drip on these trucks, CAMO.

AND another reason to pay attention to all things electrical & HUMMWV. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZevlfaLrmxM I am not ragging on this guy, really not. Don't let the cool factor get in the way of the SAFETY. Every drive is a test run, CAMO

Lazboytt, Clean up that nasty ground lug, under the ground lug on the front of the alternator, your third picture. Better yet, clean them all up. Don't forget to disconnect batteries and get back in formation, CAMO

At the 24 volt stud of the 200 amp alternator... you will always have battery voltage. With a working (running engine) alternator charging, a regulating voltage will be present. (increase to nominal 28.5 VDC+/-) It's a direct connection to battery in this configuration, CAMO

" I used dialetric grease when I installed these batteries over a year ago" Where's the "DIELECTRIC" grease going? Dielectric is another word for INSULATOR. If smothered between the posts and contact surfaces of the cabling, this is going to be a problematic. Bone dry connections are...

My guess is they popped them off so the kiddies could snoop round. Just a guess, CAMO

Lots going on in the lighting switch. Having panel lights says you have battery power to it. Be sure connector is all the way in and hand tight. Did it ever work? IF SO, make sure there are no shorts on other lamp circuits IE: headlights, markers stop / turn. Here's another test. Does the...

Not sure this will work?? Somewhere 1979 - 1980 Chevy square truck bodies went from the round to the rectangle lights. Thinking (sometimes a bad idea) that the front 1970's bezel parts may work to switch it over to round. Not sure why one would want to go to that trouble for military style...

Come on guys... A marine pump on and army truck. :nothingfunny: CAMO

Not to be the pain in the butt... BUT it as been said a ZILLION times here, that when working on the electrical system, DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES !!! There I said it. Cheapest insurance to prevent an electrical catastrophe. Only YOU can prevent HUMMWV fires, CAMO AND that thingie above...

Just a little follow up to the HUMMWV Hard Top. Can't predict sales, but you might be under priced on that top. Looked up some of the roof top and slant back after market products for HUMMWV. To build out the roof $3000 and slant back $5500. Add in shipping, paint, fit-up, extra mods, etc. I...

Big guess for the one on the dash. Field mod for a convoy light ?? That's all I got, CAMO

IMO, Yea, I get the cool and sexy with let's make a buck or a million... so here goes my stab at it from the "Shark Tank" When HUMMWV's and most other military vehicles are surplussed "think M38/A1, M151/A2, M37's and anything we collectors get our hands is, old and purpose designed. That...

I am curious too. How is it that the affordable parts are always the hardest to get to. Since I work for free on only mine, flywheel cheap, labor $$$$ my guess. CAMO https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/3267/HM-292-Flywheel-Assembly-HMMWV-CUCV-Diesel-engines and starter extra $$$$...

Things to think about... IMO. COOLING SYSTEM Just won the rig? Study up on the TM's or manuals while waiting for the EUC. Good chance the dealer / sales person NOT going to do a walk around, a test drive or point you to the book in the glove box. Flush the system really good. Rig maybe...

Found this and maybe it's old info. Lots of dope in one place. > https://gear-report.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/HMMWV-Quick-Refer-U.S.-Army.pdf < Fixing you HUMMWV, easy as reading the funny paper, CAMO
