That's just my guess, not saying it's the thing.

I was hoping this was about a manual transmission HMMWV. :unsure:

If it makes you both feel better, then it's best possible choice. My inserts should be here this week because I don't want the run-flats in the new tires. I've been driving ~43 years and have had one flat tire. Friend and I were doing a speed-run down some farm road outside Travis AFB round...

I was at half a tank so after work I drove over to Bangor base and filled up at the diesel pump there. Nearby is a short set of trails so I headed over to play around a bit. There's one stretch of short uphill that's deeply rutted and I was surprised the HMMWV stopped, like stopped forward...

I can't believe anyone is moving *to* CA :sick: Anyway, watch craigslist, chains are always available. If you have absolutely no intention of ever using them no matter the conditions, buy the cheapest set of cable-chains you can find even if they don't fit. If you think you might use them...

I replaced the plugs on mine - only three of the eight were doing anything if I remember right - and the truck started great with the new plugs for about 300 miles, then it began to get harder and harder to start as time went on (temps in the mid 40s). Ultimately it wouldn't start at all and...

They have since added this disclaimer to the page, so I may not have been the only one who felt misled. They made it right though.

Try removing one from another gauge and making your own. It shouldn't be much work to replicate with ordinary tools and some scrap. But, I'm sure someone has one.

Look for four numbers in an oval imprinted on the tire, should be near the rim if I remember right.

If you were feeling creative, you might shuck all the plastic off one of these (Harbor Freight), and work out some way to mount it. If you watch the sales you might be able to get it down around $100 or so. Maybe not for heavy duty use, but it should be able to air up a tire or two.

From what I remember the German ones are the best.

I noticed that on the amazon page I linked, scroll down a bit, and a 24v one is displayed under "related products". Not saying this is the correct one as I haven't researched the 24v one. They don't seem to fail often, but when it does you're pretty much stuck.

The M1009 is a 12v system (and I was careful to mention that), and yes it is not correct for the HMMWV, but might give one a starting place for their research.

When I researched the solenoid for my M1009 break-down, this was the one that everyone recommended.

This is what it looks like in the M1009 with a 6.2 NA:

It's not on, it's in; under a cover. I had one fail in my M1009 when I was 30 mins from the house, and cost me $400 or so to have it towed. Mine had anti-tamper torx screws on the cover, but not all of the M1009s did so you might take a look. There is no good work-around if it fails in...

Does the 12V line "need" something as stout as a battery cutoff switch, or would a good military grade toggle switch do the job?

If you want to be safe for this aspect, go to harbor freight and buy a few cheap wrenches and plastidip or insulate them some other way, then keep those wrenches in the battery box. Nothing in there is so tight that you'd ever break a cheap wrench.
