    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'm not worried about it holding, if it doesn't I'll just put it on the inside tho on the outside would be more effective.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    tired gluing mass loaded vinyl on the exterior inner fender area up front. used loctite PL 8x and used just a couple peices on one side straight vertical to see if it would hold. it did not so I pulled it off and cleaned the area back up and will test 3m high strength spray adhesive on it tomorrow.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    no picture but you have to remove the peice that the top of the dog house fastens to there are maybe 6 or 8 Phillips and than 3 nuts and bolts under the hood. knowing that should help you find the peice I'm talking about. all the empty space behind that shield is just a echo chamber.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    very similar I am also using kilmat and was thinking about doing almost the same thing with the dog house cover but going dog house/kilmat/stock rubber/MLV/foam may have to put the MLV behind the rubber as it's heavy but would like to put in front. today I added kilmat to the valve covers, back...

    Noise after vertical climb

    I know the tranny fluid is correct and full as I changed it. the power steering on the other hand could be the wrong fluid as I have not change that and I got it from someone not a military base. I see there appears to be a reservoir on the top with a sight glass and the fluid is above that level.

    Noise after vertical climb

    Was going up a hill which was really steep maybe 60% grade/angle (90% being straight up and down). I noticed some noise from the engine compartment kind of thinking it is power steering related but got leveled out and the noise continued. Decided to drive home about 10 mins away and the noise...

    Batteries

    Both 65's and 31's fit under the seat (I have 65's in mine) but I hear the 31's just barely make it from another member on here but I'm sure you can't use the factory hold down with either that's why I was curious if you could with the 24's. If I was willing to spend the money I'd personally...

    Batteries

    Why the group 24? The group 65 batteries have more CCA and are cheaper. Can u use the factory battery hold down with 24's?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That board doesn't look to be burned all that bad I wonder if you could just rebuild it for a couple bucks.

    Electrical Dip

    I haven't pulled the positive on the back side of the battery box yet raining outside today but I'll make sure I do and clean it up. drove around some more and let it get good and warm then checked voltage at alt and battery and had 28.8v so just kind of random at this point.

    Electrical Dip

    well not out of the woods yet. so started the humvee and let her warm up and then picked up some stuff around town, I noticed that the voltage gauge no longer flutters its rock solid like all the other gauges. when I got home I checked the voltage at the batteries and got 25.1v I shut it off...

    Electrical Dip

    ya you got me thinking I cleaned the ground on the starter and on the alternator but not what feeds the battery box area and I was able to track it down with the multimeter.

    Electrical Dip

    I think I found the problem I have 28.8v at the bolt with the arc marks behind it but only 26.7v at the block behind it. bolt was to loose which is why it was arcing at some point im sure. Pulled the bolt and cleaned up the cable, bolt, and block. now I got 28.8v at the batteries will have...

    Electrical Dip

    looking at the metal tags between 2a and 568 is where I get 17.7v and between 568 and 68a is where a get 13.1 all on the regulator. I cleaned most of the vehicle grounds when I got it including the one on the alt and starter but I'll look over all the connections a little more.

    Electrical Dip

    Had both batteries tested this morning and both checked out good. the lower voltage one had 940cca and the higher voltage one had 1050cca both were warm and charged last night. swap the battery positions in the box and drove it around this morning and checked them again with the humvee running...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    the CEO of AM general said this about the humvee "It’s essentially bulletproof to EMP" but I never seen any testing. if I would worried about it I would just park it in a machine shed with a grounding cable on the outside tin.

    Electrical Dip

    I'm gonna pull the batteries tonight and top them off on the charger than tomorrow I'll have them both tested. Batteries are less than 5 months old if one is bad I'll try to have it replaced as it looks to have a 2 year warranty but I didn't purchase them. Battery specs listed from fleet farm...

    I do have a working trans light and it is off when the engine is off. I will get voltage from the batteries with it running.

    Electrical Dip

    something is wrong with the batteries. I just drove it about an hr ago and the top battery is at 12.3v while the bottom battery is read 13v. the wires mid way through have me worried not sure if that's right or not but it's how I bought it.
