    Alternator starting to make new noises

    The 60 amp alternator on my HMMWV is starting to make some new noises. The volt meter indicates that it is still charging the batteries fine. I am guessing the bearings in the alternator are kaput. Have you tried replacing the bearings in the alternator? McReddy

    Can the HMMWV cadillac valve be repaired?

    Folks, My hydraulic fan is staying on all the time. I did some tests, there is power / voltage at the Cadillac valve when the temperature is below 220 F.

    Noisy heater blower / fan ??

    I started using the heater blower / fan on my HMMWV this winter and it is noisy even at low setting. I was wondering if this common or if I need to clean the blower fan and check the blower motor. It is as loud as the engine is at idle. McReddy

    Do HMMWVs / m998s pass emissions test?

    I was wondering if HMMWVs / m998s pass emissions tests? Is 6.5 L any better than the 6.2 L engine as far as emissions go? Going by the pictures on GP, I did not notice any of the HMMWV m998s with DPFs. Anybody put a DPF on ? Thank you in advance.

    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    I was wondering if folks wouldn't mind sharing what to look for when short listing HMMWVs for bidding on. I am guessing 1. HMMWVs with 6.5L are worth a little more than ones with 6.2L ?? 2. HMMWVs that can start on their own are worth more than one that need to be jump started ?? 3. HMMWVs...

    Does the odometer reading mean much on the old HMMWVs at Gov Planet auction?

    I been looking on Gov Planet and I see that some HMMWVs have only a few thousand miles. Do these odometer readings mean much? If the odometer readings don't mean anything, how would the military keep track of the vehicle usage and maintenance ? Thanks in advance.
