    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Tie rod or driveshaft bent? Can’t argue with everything else. I figure at least 6 months of tinkering to get her almost reasonable to drive.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    I can’t seem to find the link to Mikes Eco Hubs. Search disallows three letter words.

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Then I gotta start asking about those hub things (???) you all are using to increase top speed and comfort. Will also fit a water tank and sprayer for those pesky Cali wildfires. Figure it should be able to hold a few hundred gallons of Adam’s Ale, for purposes of firefighting. And thank you...

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Well, I need a bigger vehicle for some work pulling larger trailers AND camping and probably doing some emergency type volunteer work. Purchased a 13,000 mile Cali FMTV. Not running. Bent driveshaft. Time to cry. Then read TM’s and post here. I own several HMMWV and an H1. I guess I’m...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    RWH is the king. My comments are general and not specific to HMMWV. If superficial, use a short Dremmel to rip a slot across the top and a stubby flathead screwdriver to remove. If deep, use an aluminum or copper pipe to protect threads and flux core wire to build up a neck and then weld that...

    WTK Fan Shroud fitting

    Helps if you tell us year and model HMMWV. ie: 1987 M998 three speed 2007 M1151 four speed or the first theee digits of your VIN

    HMMWV Rear steer

    Rear steer is not that difficult, and now that it is appearing in GM vehicles there’s a good chance that you will be able to obtain those parts in several months as they begin to show up in junkyards. You can also review rear steer from other vehicles listed on the Internet with instructions on...

    Butchered H1 wiring by PO

    Radio killing batteries because PO wired into batteries rather than harness, meaning when the key is out the radio is still on. 🙄🙄😣😣 FFS. Now I need to pull the doghouse cover in 30 degree temps. (For you citizens of the Great White North, I don’t mean that ridiculous French Revolution...

    Smart box question

    Check the link in my signature line. That integrated circuit causes more trouble than it is worth.

    HMMWV Rear steer

    IIRC, might have been Springer 1991 on the main HMMWV thread. Haven’t seen him in a while (BUT maybe because I have him blocked).

    HMMWV rear caliper internal parts

    YouTube has several decent videos on how to source parts and rebuild rear and front calipers.

    I think my turbo seals are leaking oil.

    Remember that if too much oil begins to leak, the engine will use that oil as fuel and you can get a runaway engine. Fixing the problem by replacing the cartridge is prudent.

    Best gear setup to get out of the deep mud: H.... HL...... D.... 2.... 1......

    Spinning and digging can snap your half shafts when they finally engage the ground. I’m not saying it doesn’t work and I am not passing judgment. Also, never go from reverse to drive to reverse to drive without letting all the wheels completely stop. You will crack your half shafts otherwise...

    Glow plugs roasted

    Rebuild your box. My signature line contains the instructions. It will be much more robust afterwards.

    Wait to start light bulb out or more serious issue?

    What I did was probably sacrilege. I removed the starter switch. I ground down the back of the LED for the glow plug light. I then was able to wiggle the thing into place and use screws to secure it. Not exactly what is in the technical manual and yet it worked great for me. The key was...

    Wait to start light bulb out or more serious issue?

    Read my posted schematics regarding under the hood PCB/EESS plug. Then test if the glow plug hot wire (attached to pin-D) gets current and voltage when the vehicle is turned on. In essence follow Mogman’s instructions while using the schematics I posted. The thread containing the schematics is...

    Wait light stays on, crank but no start.

    If you crank then problem is either with no glow plugs OR no fuel flow due to fuel cutoff on IP not receiving electricity or not working. My sig line has a link with a schematic of wires in and out of the PCB/EESS.
