    1999 M1097A2 Loses Power 6.5l

    First nobody knows how many miles any vehicle has because the speedos get changed all the time, could be 8K but might not. You say reconditioned, by whom? As TOBASH says it could be a lift pump, it could be a plugged fuel tank vent (try loosening the fill cap) it could be a plugged fuel tank...

    Purchased a 2006 Humvee M1097R1 - Need Help

    It does not matter, that is the RPM sender for the diag port, it is simply a reed switch that opens and closes once every crankshaft revolution to be used by the diag equipment you likely will never have or will ever need.

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    Friday you were not puking oil out of the air filter, things change, you still need to check the ones listed to see what is going wrong. You can also open the water drain valve on the fuel filter to see if you have any fuel flow while cranking the engine.

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    We have seen it time and time again on this forum where someone buys a HMMWV and was told all the fluids and filters had been changed only to find out later that was total BS, you can assume it is BS unless you bought it from a reputable dealer of which there are very few. Have you checked the...

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    What I do is replace the piece of hose eliminating the tee going to the pump then run a separate vent line from the pump up to the same place the system vent terminates near the air filter, I suspect if you plug the vent at the pump and it failed it would fill the crank case with diesel.

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    RWH said the ECV and REV have that vent line connected to the fuel fill line so that would not be an issue, if the pump was pushing fuel out the vent it would simply return to the tank so what I said earlier is not valid in you case. Did you buy this from Iron Planet or an individual? you need...

    Procedure for removing headlight buckets where bushings break off.

    As Dieselmeister said, I was going to suggest something like this. https://www.harborfreight.com/pneumatic-3-in-cut-off-tool-58690.html?_br_psugg_q=cut+off+tool

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It could be the Cadillac valve, they are known to be noisy and close to the brake booster, you should be able to put your hand on it and feel it vibrating. Careful it could be HOT

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Again check all you fluids, it sounds like your transmission is slipping badly.

    Nightmare for a noob…….

    The fuel pump has a "vent" attached to all the drive components, it can literally fill the geared hubs, diffs, trans/transfer and possibly the engine with diesel. Driving it without fully servicing it and paying attention to the little things can cost you dearly. Start by checking the fluid and...

    New-Old Stock HMMWV?

    Also looking at the paperwork I get with these trucks (SF97) GP is the actual seller (owner) of the vehicles. One doc transfers ownership from the gov. to GP and the other transfers ownership from GP to me. I have never seen anything that indicates GP cannot do whatever they want with them...

    New-Old Stock HMMWV?

    I think they have a deal with a CA shop to give them the once over, I seriously doubt GP is doing the work.

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    Any decent transmission shop can rebuild the TH400. Besides "used take out, not tested AS IS" does not sound too promising. If you get it built locally any problems can be handled locally.

    My 2008 4speed R1 (and learning)

    The lug nuts came in yesterday :) So I installed a fan thermal switch and put some batteries in and all the lights work except for the right headlight, nothing on dim and dim on bright so I am hopeful it is a wiring issue or the next owner will get incandescent headlights as I ain't gunna pay...
