    Looks like Neihoff 3135. Make sure it’s not a bad regulator prior to placing that 400 amp monstrosity.

    Throw out the 400 amp or sell it to the people with six ton and LMTV. They have their own forums here on SteelSoldiers. Listen to RetiredWarHorses/RWH. You need to ground the individual lights. You need to open them up and find the contacts and wires clean them and check them. You need to...

    Few things. First... Welcome! nopics Pics of the alternator will answer tons of questions. Brakes, not breaks. 400amp is overkill and requires special brackets. What is in vehicle now? Have you tested it? My friend and fellow member Eric aka Hummer H1 routinely modifies these rigs to accept...

    6.5l Oil Pan RTV Help

    Something I learned from the application of RTV to the valve covers, apply the RTV on the engine side and not on the cover side. It may seem like splitting hairs, however when you apply on the engine side you’re guaranteed to get a complete seal with RTV where it is needed. When you add RTV to...

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    Howard Hughes shaved all the bolt heads in his airplane to set an air speed record. The point being that all those extra bolts will affect the aerodynamics of your HMMWV and slow you down.🤡🤡🤡 Beautiful work!

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    What would water in the fuel cell have to do with water in the oil pan? No connection whatsoever. What would water in the fuel cell have to do with hydro lock? Totally different issue.

    Use a lithium battery charger to rejuvenate… might work. Or just go to Walmart and buy 24f batteries and install

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Prestolite is an old school PCB, is easily converted to a manual push button box, and should be converted or retired. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it.182560/

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    You’ll change your tune soon enough when some woke antiGun antiNRA Antifa member SWAT’s you thinking you’re carrying live weapons on your roof. I don’t think you want LE to draw down on you thinking that unit is real.

    Humvee Sound Heat Insulation

    HummerH1 just did his with cheap Amazon Dynamat equivalent. He loves it. PM him for details and pics. Also people use Tractor Supply horse mats cut to size as floor mats and say it also helps. SteelSoldiers is using Lizard Skin right now and writing about it in his thread.
