    Decommission HMMWV turtle back so it can be sold

    Yes, please and thank you for the help! I being told it's probably a dead end but I'd still like to rule it out, if so. John

    Decommission HMMWV turtle back so it can be sold

    They currently inspect all our LESO stuff every two years. M16's, vehicles etc. I thought maybe there was an easy way to get this off the books. It's not a case of need.... but I wouldn't mind having it. Guess it will sit there and rot since no one knows how to do the paperwork. The last...

    Decommission HMMWV turtle back so it can be sold

    Our PD has a turtle back and I'm told we can't sell it due to DLA/LEOS rules because it has a turret. Our LEOS expert left and nobody knows how to deal with this. Anyone know if it is possible to make it a salable item for civilians? Does it still need to be sold through a dealer?

    current shunt connection loose

    Needed an impact driver a 3/4 wrench and a 2x4 to get the nut off. It had been run up onto the non-threaded portion of the bolt. The whole thing spun freely through the shunt. Nice arc welding going on with he bold head. Someone probably dropped a washer or two during assembly or...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    BTW, on the connector part number You can use an A instead of the E or F version if you don't need environmental sealing. The A's use a hard blue plastic instead of the elastomer insert and are usually less than 1/2 the price. MS3106A32-1p for the cable part. There are commercial equivalents...

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    Has anyone thought about rewiring the batteries through the slave port so that it acts as a disconnect? Install a plug (with the pins jumpered) and the battery is connected. Remove the plug and the batts are disconnected. Security and safety all in one. Yes, this makes the slave port...

    current shunt connection loose

    Was working in the field and the M998 suddenly wouldn't start. Made a strange noise and I saw smoke coming from the battery compartment. The bolt head that is on the ground side (not the battery ground terminal side) of the shunt had arced and is a little loose. When I rotate it slightly I...

    Sound deadening, sound proofing - which have you done and what are your results?

    When I got mine it was really noisy. Every time I hit a bump it sounded like the whole front end was going to rattle off. Found the jack under the front seat and removed it. Noise went away, no deadening required! But with no doors and a soft top it is pretty noisy running into town.

    LED blinker module suggestions

    I took the flasher handle LED bulb, unsoldered the tip while pulling the LED assy out of the socket. Reversed the wires and reassembled. Someone on this forum explained that the tip is neg and the body is pos on the flasher arm socket.

    LED replacement no flashing

    I got around to taking the LED turn indicator bulb apart and swapped the leads so the body is + and the tip is neg. Just desolder the tip, pull the shell off and swap the leads. Because I already had the bulbs....
