You need to remove cotter pin 13, then pin 4 should slide right out. The combo of the washer and cotter pin is what retains that pin in the brake lever. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I'll just add that you should remember that it may not always have been a 2 door high back cargo. My HMMWV had so many holes added to it and small parts from multiple kits that it was hard to tell what it was, when. At some point, it had as many as 4 antennas. It used to have a rear radio...

Everything here is a great starting point. I'll also add, I've had similar symptoms from a low battery. Typically in this case, the wait light will flash and glowplugs will energize partially. There's still enough current to turn the starter and start the engine, but the voltage reads low and...

I apparently need to buy one of those, too. That's all it took me the first go around, because fortunately none of mine were swollen. I suppose that is some luck! Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I'm going to advise against the bench seat, especially if this is for kids. There's almost no rollover protection in the HMMWV, and putting a bench on top of the bed/tunnel puts those occupants beyond what little protection there is. Absolutely the same goes for anyone sitting in troop seats...

Agreed. Mine went out on me a few months ago and I was checking over all my connections, bulbs, and the like...then realized that the switch itself had loosened slightly and moved a tiny amount out if place. That was enough to cause total failure, so adjusting it until it was just short of...

Start with just cleaning up the contacts on the gauges/checking the wires for internal breakage. If you can't get good contact in cleaning up the Packard connectors and the common ground and the failure isn't occurring while wiggling the wires around, it's pretty safe to assume it's time to...

You're probably right. Here's the Niehoff troubleshooting guide: https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG0017B_uid882013200562.pdf

I've lost it since then, but I had posted the exact text on here somewhere... I contacted CE Niehoff about this very discrepancy by email. In no uncertain terms, they said to leave the 14V terminal unconnected if you are using the 28V side only. Grounding to the casing with a jumper is NOT...

Your mention of the foam in the troop seats is also 10/10. I did exactly that on the night before my wedding. Rolled into the park where I was getting married some time between 3-4 AM. Unrolled my sleeping bag onto a troop seat, and slept under the cargo cover until I needed to be up around 9...

You heard wrong, at least for the HMMWV. All HMMWVs use a mechanical fuel lift pump and mechanical injection pump. The difference in fuel delivery between the engines is how the injection pump is tuned, and the injectors used. In regular civilian vehicles using this engine, they DID switch to...

Ah, good ol' diesel sludge! It's algae that grows when water accumulates in your fuel system. Clean out the fuel tank and everything from the tank to the filter housing. You probably also need a new tank screen. Good thing you've caught this now before it clogged your injection pump! Edit...

Now he's just a naked hillbilly. That's alright. I'm a naked HMMWV hillbilly myself with a really comfy hammock I use on my back porch. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I had the same question about the drain years ago. Indeed, there is a drain! It's a tiny hole in the back of the block about the size of a drinking straw that clogs faster than a gas station toilet. A pipe cleaner for big stiff and some pressurized water or air can help clean that out the...

That both looks brilliant and like ****e at the same time. A solid 9/10 for their ingenuity. Definitely keeps the rain off! Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Thanks! I was just enjoying giving you a hard time, but I'll definitely go check that out here shortly. I always love reading about conversion projects, as they usually have some of the best insights.

Well... I actually have my own alternative version that seems to be working pretty well. I run a 2-man configuration and I put on the cargo cover if I'm ever travelling away from home for a while. Cargo cover = instant rain/sun/prying eyes protection. Inside there, I fold down the troop seats...

Well dang, you go and find this thread and you don't even share the link to what you found after getting our interest up?

Did you see my gas mask picture on the HMMWV thread? Don't think I'm above mandating helmets in there just for the fun of it. I've got two stashed away in the closet, so it'd be no effort to actually pull off.

Share that image, if you would. I want my wife to have these clear rules to enforce, especially the chock blocks and ground guide rules. lol Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk
