One of the biggest advantages of LED lights is they draw so much less current compared to normal incandescent lamps. The relationship between watts, amps and current is calculated according to Ohms Law so you can calculate volts, amps, and power if you know any 2 values. In the HMMWV...

Go to your local hardware store and buy a cable crimp that fits the cable and crimp it onto the open end then you can use it as intended.

Don't they make a .50 cal size can that tall already? I used to have a 1" flare can in the back of my 151 that I used to store all my radio handsets in that was about that size. 13 x 12 x 6 search for: COUNTERMEASURES FLARE M206 AMMO CAN

Keyed switches can provide a level of security the standard lever switch doesn't but I think it's more an issue of guys just think trucks should have a keyswitch in them. A funny story: Years back I had a code compliance lady stop by the house because she saw that my truck didn't move very...

BUY THIS SWITCH: Cole Hersee 956-3125-BX Ignition Switch (3 Position) American made, heavy duty and it'll outlast you and your truck! That stuff you find online is mostly Chinese made junk that will fail you at the worst possible moment! #11A = BATTERY #29A = RUN #14A = START

When you replace the pitman arm go with the heavier duty MOOG "Problem Solver". There's a significant difference between it and the standard unt. Moog also makes a heavy duty idler arm that matches this one. AM GENERAL HEAVY DUTY PITMAN ARM 6035179 AM GENERAL HEAVY DUTY IDLER ARM 015394911

Just as a guess I'd say that a SAW can would work well for you. They're also known as "fat 50" cans and you could probably find a battery that would fit in it well without a ton of extra space. Almost any other ammo can will be too small or too large. Make sure you grommet the cable...

montaillou, had you won an award previously? That shortens up the EUC clearance time considerably. First time buyers are still waiting extended periods for their EUCs.

nikojo, years back before I took the time to understand how the fan system worked ( and parts were less available) I wired in a DPDT switch to my truck that performs 3 functions. Always on, always off, or automatic (normal) mode. It's simple to do and all it takes is a couple of connections to...

Nice looking trailer Cam! That's exactly what I had in mind. What make tent did you use? Smittybuilt? With regards to my ambulance body, it's held on with 5 bolts to the frame and the DC power cables. The taillights are just extensions to the existing taillights but they'd need to be...

Think I'll just stick to my 997A1 ambulance and a canopy! My other consideration was a HMMWV trailer with a rooftop camper set onto it. Plenty of room below it in the bed for stowage and stuff like heaters and gear. Fast steup and something to reserve your space when you run into town or out on...

Almost all of the military flashers are crap made by the lowest bidder that didn't give a damn if they worked or not. There are some commercial ones made by Grote and others that rely on their products lasting that can be used in their place with good results. Search for flasher reworks above...

What you need are copies of MWO 9-2320-280-35-1 and TM 9-2320-387-24-1 starting on page 7-37. The TM is too large to upload but is downloadable from several places online. Just do a search for them. The MWO details the retrofit of the dual pull brakes that has good information in it and the TM...

The standard 3 lever light switch has a circuit breaker in it that might have bit the bullet and your spare might be all you need. That and a multimeter should get you going again.

That all goes back to the basic question: What are we working with?

Something you need to add when making a post like this is the year and model of your truck. Over the years things changed in their design and it's helpful to know what you're working with. Did they attempt to start the truck after the battery installation? Does it still drive or did the TCM (if...

I installed hoses with AN fittings on them on all of my fan clutch lines and will never go back to hose clamped lines again. There's a very valid reason they use them on aircraft and those same reasons apply to vehicles. The reason manufacturers don't use them is for cost savings but it's...

drdbr, If your looking for ideas on how to do something describe what your trying to accomplish. An ammo can battery box for a radio is quite different from one for a Mule or an Avenger HMMWV. Let us know what your thoughts are and there's a fair chance someone has already done it for you or...

I noticed in the Stanadyne service bulletin that thet aren't showing a 24v ETSO solenoid. So what do we use for a replacement? As far as carrying a spare I think most of us just keep a new top cover onboard if anything. I've read about all these issues but in 22 years I've never had a problem...

Gentlemen, I think it's time to step back and consider all of this. From Wikipedia: As of 2015, Humvees are in use by the US Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy. The combined fleet numbers 140,000. While I agree that not everything they've done is such a brilliant idea there's a whole...
