    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally got around to starting a project I’d put off for a year - almost two - refinishing a set of x-doors. Fronts had been painted desert sand/tan fr some reason, I have a set of light steel armor plate I’m still not 100% decided on attaching. Got some glass, miscellaneous screws/fittings...

    Hello all..

    Welcome to the madness. Post pics when you're an owner. Oh, and before anyone beats me to it: read the manuals. :)

    Kent-Moore V-belt tensioner J-7316

    Got it. Well, not really, but close. Phone number for Kent-Moore (aka „Automotive Service Solutions... Kent-Moore“ aka „Bosch Tools“ as identified when I connected to a person) is 1.800.345.2233 Turns out the part J-7316 IS in their computer, for „Heavy Duty Truck“ use, but it was superceded...

    Kent-Moore V-belt tensioner J-7316

    Happened to come across one of these - came in a „box o‘ tools“ I bought a few years ago, never needed it until recently when I changed out my generator, PS pump, belts, etc. Using one of the little „klickit“ devices is awkward, hard to read, so I remembered this gadget and pulled it outta the...

    6.5 engine swap

    For an idea of how many after market and OEM parts ARE available for 6.2L diesel motors, surf on over to the forbidden auction side (fleabay) and do a search for "6.2L diesel motor/engine/parts/rebuild/etc". There's only been several million Detwah (Detroit) diesels manufactured in the past...

    California PG&E outage + generators 10102019

    I’ve been using a Honda EU1000i generator for over 5 years on camping trips, lately - past 2-1/2 years - about 4-6 times a year to my farm in TN while I do construction, infrastructure, etc, running it as much as 24 hours a day 5 days in a row. Got it for running small electronics, as the...

    Where to buy electric components to fix M998/HMMWV PCB boxes?

    I tinkered around with electronics in HS. I was a roadie for a music store, we provided sound equipment for small clubs and larger venues for bands like Spooky Tooth, Humble Pie, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, more. Fun times. I built several digital electronic gadgets, radios, Heathkit and...

    fuel filter change

    I have a pair of small - like 5” - vise grip pliers. Got ‘em as a set. The rounded ones hold the damper control rod in place on my fireplace insert - ‘cause we kept forgetting to close it once the box got up to operating temp - the other, more like a pair of needle-nose pliers I use around the...

    what is this junk in the fuel cannister?

    Cyanobacteria, aka "blue-green algae". Eat diesel, gas. Stuff's everywhere. Good article here: http://www.boatcoachbob.com/articles-boat-maintenance/engines-inboard/prevent-remove-diesel-algae/

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I did when I dropped my tank, cleaned it, changed the sender, gasket and filler hose, and THAT thing. WHAT a bear to get it onto the pickup tube. Took more effort than I’d expected sanding/buffing, pressing it into place. When I die, heaven will be me punching engineers in the face all day...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So can a 4 foot extension for a 3/4” breaker bar. solve all kinds of problems. Zombie outbreaks, for example.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Any particular make/model you recommend? Please don’t say Snap-on. If I had my life to live over again, I would’ve started buying snap-on tools at yard sales/flea markets when I was 20. Now? This close to retirement I can’t justify the price for the amount of use I might get and my kids just...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Changed out the 60A alternator to 200A months ago, got everything assembled, belts tight, etc. Scrounger stopped by for the alternator, I asked him if he thought everything looked right, he thought the belts looked a little loose. So I tinkered w/ them a bit, gauge WAS showing they’d...

    HMMWV Overheat Q's and pictures

    I’m wondering if your cadillac valve is bad and/or your line from it to the fan needs to be bled. If it moves a little, it should move enough, or maybe there’s some oil on the clutch friction plates. Just thinking/typing out loud here. I’m sure it’s in the manuals.:?

    value of a canvas for a m1101

    Whatever the market will bear... I bought a NIB cover a little over a year ago from Flightsource, delivered, for about $275 while I was being offered used ones for upwards of $750. Bows will come at a premium. Poke around, do some searches through NSN-now.com. Good luck.

    fuel filter change

    Where the heck did THIS come from. No apology needed. No disrespect implied, indicated nor intimated in OP. I was clearly thanking him for his time and trouble finding what I couldn’t. Reading comprehension is fundamental to civil online discourse. Norm.
