    Making use of the onboard 400 Amp generator

    Could one realistically use the humvee as a whole house generator? Through the slave port!?

    HMMWV REV truck brakes

    I’m currently struggling to compressed all 4 of pistons in the Wilwood system at the same time. All 4 will compress individually, or as pairs, but only 3 of 4 will compress at any one time. is there a way to release the hydraulic pressure? Other than the bleed screw? The TM does not mention...

    I don’t believe so, the front evaporator still blows cold .

    A/C Diagnostic help

    My rear evaporator is still cutting out. Takes a little over 20 mins. I do think I heard a “click” from the evaporator just before it cut out, which I’m guessing was the breaker. I don’t see anything in the TMs about pulling too many amps tho. Any ideas what could be the cause?

    Post a photo (or describe) your HMMWV travel tool kit

    AAA is $7 a mile after your free towing mileage is used up. It was $40 for me to upgrade to the 100 mile plan from the 10 mile plan. Well worth it.

    2002 M1123 6.5 Oil Filter Housing Gasket & Oil Cooler Gasket

    I’m not sure if I’m understanding your Question correctly, but the 90* adapter that the oil filter screws to has a set of gaskets. I bought this kit from HPG. I don’t believe the “kit” is a military part as I couldn’t order it from Mac motors. $15 from HPG. My leak below

    Ball Joint Boots

    Anyone with more knowledge of hummers know if these boots will fit the newest style Ball joint? The Links below show the correct part number ball joint for my truck, a REV 1165a1. But the parts manual does not list the boot, only that it is part of a complete ball joint kit. Says in the...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I could easily be looking at this wrong, but it looks to me like the blower resister only affects the front blower through wire 399, and the rear gets it power from wire 435- unaffected from the resister? again I don’t have enough experience to know if the rear evaporator blower should go to...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I did get the 40 degree temp about of both evaporators. Maybe there’s where I’m confused now. The image above, right side, line item 8 says 5lbs 8oz of refrigerant. So perhaps I’m high, not low? but as a general automotive question, the guy at the AC shop wouldn’t need to know that amount...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    That would be frustrating, seeing that I’ve had it back to that shop twice. If that’s the problem I’ll have to take it somewhere else. is this the best page the manual? I guess I don’t understand how they measure the weight of the refrigerant? Is it possible to know how many pounds are in...

    A/C Diagnostic help

    I think you’re onto something. Because if I cycle the AC off then immediately back on, it blows again. I’ll have to figure out what’s causing it, and then order all the parts with my new valve to save on shipping! lol

    A/C Diagnostic help

    So the last issue I am having with my AC, may not be an issue at all. It pertains to the rear evaporator like in the 1165 and 1151. It will randomly shut off(stop blowing air) and then start back up again 30 seconds, a minute, some short time later. The front evaporator blows as normal during...
