Curious as to what radio would have been in an M43 ambulance and where it would have been mounted. Anyone have info/pics? Also wondering about how/where the antenna would mount.

Hi all, I recently sold my M998 HMMWV and am looking for another interesting vehicle to work on/drive/enjoy. I've seen some M37s for sale that aren't too far away and have been doing research on ownership. The truck would be used for occasional trips around town, maybe out to a friend's...

Noticed the alternator was loose this AM when working on the truck and it turned out that the rear bolt had worked loose and gotten lost. No problem (I thought)--I've got tons of bolts and I'm sure I have one to fit this application. However, when I tried to thread the bolt into the hole in the...

I'm considering a move from KS to NE and am wondering how difficult NE will be regarding the title of my truck. Here in rural KS it was relatively straightforward, but I know that NE is a little more nanny-state than my current state of residence.

So I was on my way to a meeting yesterday afternoon driving the truck and stopped to get fuel. As I pumping diesel this lady pulled up to the other side of the pump and got out with her son--I'd guess he was about three. He saw the HMMWV and his eyes got big as saucers. He asked me "Is that your...

I'm thinking about buying one of the Ibis Tek light bars with IR and HID lamps in it for my truck. In looking that the pictures on the evil auction site, I see that there's a five pin connector in the unit. Anyone have a pinout for this or know where I can get more info? Ibis Tek sells a...

Yesterday I started a project that I've meant to do since I bought the truck: repainting the brush guard. It was black and the paint was pretty bad, with rust and a good number of layers of paint that were flaking. So I dragged out my rotary sanding tool and started to sand. There were at...

So at some point in its life, my HMMWV had a fording kit installed and then later removed. The hole in the dash where the switch used to be was filled in with a huge, ugly blob of body sealant. It looked pretty hideous so I removed the blob. But not there's a hole that lets in heat from the...

A few days ago it was warm enough out that when I went to start my HMMWV the wait light didn't come on. I waited about 60 seconds and then started the engine The voltage gauge went into the yellow and stayed there. Usually it bounces between yellow and green for 60-90 seconds as the system runs...

So I've got my VIC-1 system up and running and installed in the HMMWV. The only thing I'm missing are two of the plastic "caps" that close off the unused cable connectors on the AM 1780. Here are some of the more recent version: though I'd prefer the older, screw-in type. Does anyone know...

I finally decided what to do about carrying a spare. This is my (easily removable) spare tire setup. It's bolted to the bed but comes out easily. It's right up against the side of the bed so it doesn't impede the view through the rear window. It's upright so most of the bed area is still...

All, I've searched here (and on Google, and checked the TMs I have collected) and haven't come up with an answer. Last week I was playing music for my kids through my VIC-1 while we were running errands and accidentally left my AM-1780 on, at least partly because the lamp is out. I'm looking...

It's 8 degrees outside this morning, so I haven't tried digging into this at all. Thought I'd ask for expert opinions before digging in to the problem--hopefully it will be 50 on Thursday. Anyway, driving home yesterday I glanced down to check my speed and saw the speedometer was well over 60...

So, today I went to talk to a guy who used to do depot maintenance on HMMWVs during his time in the service (friend of a friend). I still haven't completely resolved my coolant leak... though I can say it is definitely leaking from a crack in the overflow tank and at a gasket near the front of...

So I've tried four different size/pitch screws in the little metal cover on the back of my 60A alternator, but haven't had success getting them to screw in. Both are missing (?) so I don't have one to check against a thread pitch gauge. Anyone know what these are so I can stop that thing...

So last week my 88 developed a small coolant leak. About a hand span worth of coolant on the driveway in the morning. It was so slow that it basically dried out if I didn't drive the truck for a day. Life was pretty busy so I didn't get to checking it out until today... I picked up my kids...

All, I've attempted to use the search feature here and I've googled without finding a definitive/satisfactory answer, so I'm turning to the experts... My truck had two tires that needed to be replaced. One has a slow leak (air it up every two or three weeks) and another was down to 10% tread...

So, the bulb in my air filter restriction gauge has given up the ghost. A quick look through the TM didn't result in a lamp changing procedure... is this another one of those "replace the whole unit" things like the shift indicator?

It was practically the dark ages (30 or so years ago) when I drove one of these things for Uncle Sugar, so my memory is hazy. But last week when I came out of a night class (advanced engine rebuilding--we're working on a 62 Austin Sprite 1100 cc motor) I realized that I couldn't see what gear...

So, since I've had the truck there's been annoying, really loud rattle that occurs going over rough roads (one of the two kinds we have here in Kansas: rough and dirt). Didn't bother looking for the source until I had other stuff done, but it turns out it's the brake pedal. If I put my foot on...
