    First time Humvee owner, lifetime admirer w/ a Q...

    Welcome to the site! I've found these trucks much easier to work on than a modern vehicle with all of its computers and emissions equipment. Plus there are TM's a plenty to help with diagnosis and repairs. My biggest issue so far has been finding the correct TM in a timely fashion. But that's...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Today I did the first oil change to my M1114. Super easy! I love these trucks are basically old school technology. I also replaced the fuel gauge and aired the tires. Still need to Dremel the paddle lock left on the anti theft device located under the dash. It's a Master Lock so it may never...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What I did to my HMMWV today was secure the batteries, install a gasket at the air filter canister, secure the TCM and finally figured out it's impossible to attach the latches at the top of the doghouse. Also I drove my now running M1114 to the gas station for some fresh diesel.

    The unbreakable tire bead.

    It's never supposed to come off the bead with 0 air pressure. The run flat holds the tire in place.

    What oil do you use?

    I see Rotella is available in synthetic but I think dino oil would be better. Correct?

    What oil do you use?

    Forgive the new thread. I'm sure there's an old one somewhere but a search of any type here keeps removing the word "oil" as it's too common of a word. The TM for my truck states regular 30 weight dino oil will work, but 15w-40 seems much more common and may be a better alternative. I've...

    HMMWV Fuel Gauge Wanted

    Thank you. Maybe someone has a used one? I'm contemplating buying a parts truck for all these little odds and ends my main truck needs.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    That makes sense. My truck has rivnuts as shown in the first post. I'm just curious why it doesn't match up to the TCM for my turbo truck.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    I'm wondering if the TCM was swapped before the sale. That's why it doesn't have a proper mounting location.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    There seems to be 2 styles of TCM for these trucks. One with the brackets that extend out to the mounting holes, and the other with the bolts located further in. Mine has the bolts mounted futher in. Does anyone else have a M1114 with the TCM mounted with the bolts that are futher in? I'd like...

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    Yeah, mine didn't come with that bracket extension on the bottom. I didn't think about getting a picture of the underside of the TCM, but it has 4 bolts already installed. They are just way shorter than the bolt holes.

    Mounting Transmission Control Module

    My minty fresh surplus M1114's transmission control module is not secured to the floor. Am I missing a mounting bracket for it? When I bought the truck it was also missing the rear passenger seat that goes over it, so obviously things were taken from this area. I've scowered the TM's for any...

    HMMWV Fuel Gauge Wanted

    Looking for a functional OEM fuel gauge for my 2006 M1114 HMMWV. Anyone got a spare? I'm seeing a lot of knockoffs or entire clusters. I just need the fuel gauge.

    Brake reservoir and brake lines

    There are a lot of surplus sites selling HMMWV parts. I'm particularly fond of Eastern Surplus as they are a sponsor of the site. Here's a link to their brake stuff: https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartsList/4/HMMWV

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What did I do to my HMMWV today? I finally got my surplus fresh M1114 running today and I'm ecstatic! I bought the truck non-running so anything could have been bad. There was no Smart Start controller but the TCU was KDS so I matched it up. There was no Serpentine belt, no CDR valve, a flat...

    Humvee purchase, need advice

    I shipped through Veritread. I'd post a photo of my invoice but I don't want to risk private data getting out there. I'm looking at it again and it shows the breakdown of fees. For sales tax the line says: State Sales Tax - 6% - Florida $xxx County Sales Tax - 1% - $xxx. The truck was sold at...
