    Rookie here! Purchased a Hmmwv Jan 2, 2020

    It's almost impossible to go wrong at Bluehummer, Hummerpartsguy(HPG), or Kascar. They're dealer-type outlets. Macmotors also nets some seriously hard-to-find parts, but their ordering process isn't quite as smooth as the others. There's also a lot of good guys on this board that list out...

    Rookie here! Purchased a Hmmwv Jan 2, 2020

    While this one may be perfectly fine to drive home, do heed that list carefully. If you see any risks of the wheels literally falling off, the brakes not being able to stop reliably, or the engine possibly having any issues making power, then just don't start the trip. Hold off on the buy...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I saved a brand new ULCANS camo net set from the same fate. Some poor bastard accidentally ordered a pallet of them instead of a single set, so the order came down to make the extras disappear. I walked away with one... ...makes me think that we really need to revamp our processes to make it...

    Interested in buying a 90 6.2 Hmmv with 59,000 miles. New guy here!

    I think you're being taken for a run at that price. Those doors look like they're the aluminum aftermarket doors from Plan B. The seats are legitimately a good addition if they are installed well and have the seatbelts properly secured and you're not looking for original military design. As...

    Hey, I just found a list of mine talking about my same struggle. This should help with everything except the brackets. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?posts/1962980 Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I was gifted a lovely little NOCO G7200 smart charger. Ran it through the batteries yesterday and they charged far too quickly and ended up testing low under load. So already, I'm trying out the repair mode of the charger! With the track record of this charger on these boards, I'm not worried...

    Really? No drilling to fit that switch? If that's the case, then dang! Why haven't I installed one two years ago?

    E-brake light stays on

    EDIT: I actually just realized that I had fundamentally misunderstood the positioning and trigger condition of the brake warning switch. I had assumed it was on the parking brake lever and only served as a simple cutout switch there. You can still try the test I listed below on the switch and...

    Pulse tech solar

    I have the same exact setup inside my HMMWV. Things to note: It will pulse the battery with or without solar power. The solar cell is just there to provide enough energy to keep the energy load neutral. (Smaller pulse-only systems will only pulse with solar power.) It will not pulse if the...

    Thanks for the lead on this. It looks the the PN is actually 82-2156, but the info given was definitely close enough to lead me to the switch you're talking about.

    Fan clutch low psi, not disengaging

    The fail-safe/default operation mode of this fan is always on. If there's an electrical failure, the fan will run. If there's a hydraulic failure, the fan will run. If there's a clutch or valve failure, the fan will run. One question to answer that will greatly help us to help you: Has the...

    What antennas for what bands

    None of these antennas will be "optimized" for what you're after, but for the lower band items, you should be well-covered by an AT-1011 (2-30 MHz). The efficiency peaks probably aren't perfectly aligned for your use, but with a matching circuit, they should be fine as a compromise antenna. As...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Pretty cool net! I tend to make use of a loadtamer net-since I found one for dirt cheap, but this is a real fine compromise to hold back some bulky stuff without attaching the whole canopy. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

    These aftermarket key switches are proving to have a remarkably high failure rate. Tons of unintented activations. There's a report of a key switch failure about every 3-4 weeks. It's wild for how simple of a device these are that they'd fail so often. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

    Only device that buzzes for me is the S3 control box. It shouldn't be happening while everything is off. What have you modified with regard to electrical switching? Any aftermarket switches? As well, are you 100% sure that everything is correctly switched off? Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

    What plugs you running ?

    I just buy 24V OEM stuff either from a reputable dealer that is known for selling genuine parts, or when they bundled into a maintenance package that there's not a great demand to create knock-offs of (there was a bunch of an engine overhaul kit that popped up on eBay a couple years ago that...

    Project M99Ocho

    NG3492 is your truck's registration number. It's not quite a serial number-more like a license plate number that stays with the truck for life. The only thing I know for sure about it is that it's a former national guard truck. Someone with access to a military logistics database (or a...

    What is this on windshield?

    Search for Savi ST-654-001. A dozen will show up on the forbidden auction site for next to nothing in cost. Haven't figured out how to program one, but I will say that a computer does recognize it when plugged in to USB. It was just a fun piece to slide into the bracket on my truck to...

    What is this on windshield?

    If it's that bracket, that bracket is a holder for an active RFID tag, made by a company called SAVI. They're used to track what hardware is being moved where. It relies on readers being placed at a port of entry, or a worker with a handheld scanner. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk
