    Driving Hmmwv in snow

    Disclaimer: Not the most experienced in snow but have a lot of snow experience. The HMMWV is just like any other 4WD/AWD, better than any car-like 4wd/awd as far as capabilities. You can get through almost anything. DON'T BE CRAZY! Some people have an idea that means they can drive like it...

    Sweet Candy!

    I watched something similar a couple of years ago. No new news. The only issue for the JLTV vs HMMWV. Is the HMMWV was designed to be a truck used during combat and the JLTV is designed to be a more active part of combat. To me the JLTV is a necessary upgrade seeing what we are asking the...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    The little I had gathered from the accident. It is hard to fault the design of the HMMWV or the driver. It seems weird to be out trying to ford a River or stream in the middle of winter in Indiana (there is that). Recreational driving a HMMWV at night seems odd to me. (I guess I am faulting...

    Blinker & high beam indicator issue

    I had a similar issue. It was the ground and the contacts. Clean the contacts well. Hooking up a ground where the contacts are also bad makes things not go well. I poked stuff with my meter and things looked ok bu I poked until it was ok. Put some dielectric grease on the contacts to...

    Glowplugs Never Energize and Have You Ever What the Inside of a PCB Looks Like

    It looks like to me there maybe an issue with the CAMDEC Solenoid. The power lead from the bus looks scorched a little also. I would replace that as well. Just my two cents.

    1988 M998 Cold Start Problem

    Both work as far as I know. The KDS is suppose to be considered the best. Maybe I am clouded by my respect for RWH(Retired War Horses). I think searching through the threads you will find people are happier with the KDS S3 because it has no afterglow. Also I hear it last longer, tastes great...

    1988 M998 Cold Start Problem

    Another key issue not mentioned here is how you are using your HMMWV. Mine is not a daily driver it is driven once a week or once every two weeks. If you drive your HMMWV regularly let's say every other day of more frequent your issues will manifest themselves differently than someone who is...

    1988 M998 Cold Start Problem

    My feeling is your batteries are weak. You can try to recondition your batteries. I use a 24 volt charger/starter system and recondition them in place. Many people take out their batteries out and charge them with their 12 volt charging equipment. The 24 volt system is kind of weird so if...

    1988 M998 Cold Start Problem

    My experience is that when it is cold the diesel has less fuel pressure. This is because :A typical value of the coefficient of thermal expansion for diesel fuel is 0.00083 per degree Celsius (0.00046 per degree Fahrenheit). Using this value, 1.000 gallon of diesel fuel at - 7 °C (2 0°F) will...

    6.5L turbo vs 6.2L

    I would be surprised a 6.5 Turbo with a 3 speed. Is this a rebuild by someone? Where are you getting this?

    How NOT to drive a HMMWV.

    My two cents: * He is lucky that is all he broke. * All off road excursions can break stuff. * Why he took off or had no hood radiator guard I do not understand. He had a good chance of not having a way out of the woods. * He need to take some air out of those nice tires. He...
