    Wait light on with battery disconnected

    Bouncing gauge had to do with the old style protective control boxes. Some people called it afterglow. The glow plugs would continue to get electricity periodically in order to help the engine warm up while running. Then it would stop. That has nothing to do with your current Battery issues

    Purchased a dashboard. I’m going to make a negative mold from which I can make a better dashboard in an improved shape that I want. After that I will have a reinforced fiberglass dashboard with custom cutout for gauges and another cutout for switches and hidden relays. I’m looking to mount the...

    GP sold $37k HMMWV, what am I missing?

    I’m sorry, but there is no separate rear wall, it is all integrated in the top. That is a civilian HMC4 top that has been converted to military use. That is why the top is so special. EDIT- a little birdie sent me a private message. That top is not the HMC4 top that I have on my M1165. It is...

    GP sold $37k HMMWV, what am I missing?

    Mine has rust and I would not sell it for less than $7000. This is NOT a regular hard top. It is an HMC4 top.

    GP sold $37k HMMWV, what am I missing?

    I have that truck more or less. The top alone is rare and sells for buku dollars. That clean turbo truck is easily worth it. Makes me feel good about the time and $$$ I’ve been sinking into mine.

    Tutorial… Hummer H1 removes broken glow plug tip.

    Place a heavy grease and Vaseline soaked rag through injector hole. Over drill and tap it out and use thread replacement. Vacuum out the area. Pull the oil soaked clothe slowly. Blast high pressure air. Look with boroscope and if fragments remain, blastout with oil or soapy water until clear.

    Tutorial… Hummer H1 removes broken glow plug tip.

    Air compressor will also help blow out stubborn pieces. Direct flow of air into glow plug hole and catch broken pieces with gauze or wire basket over injector hole.

    Mog, Best I can do is focus in with software. I hope that is good enough. I left Cali. Vehicle is in Cali. If it’s an emergency I can ask Eric to shoot a few pics. I’m 3200 miles away. That area broke away. Bolt holds broken piece of plastic. I will customize to resecure. L-shaped bracket and...

    So, now that I know I have heat I need the directional vents to work. I need a source. 2007 M1165 ECV. I searched Kascar and EBay, no joy. Intact (green circle) and broken vents (red circle) on my rig are circled. EDIT- thanks HoveringHMMWV, units purchased.
