I am not reading this well. You can easily adjust your parking break. Maybe that is it. Most of these HMMWV's have been sitting for year(s). Lube the connection and cable point everywhere. I have grown to like http://www.kanolabs.com/ Kroil. Do maintenance on the HMMWV ASAP. Things will...
I would not assume anything is broke. First off you need to get the batteries up. Depending on the batteries and their age you can recondition them. I would start there.
The wait light behaves differently as the batteries get run down.
When I got my HMMWV it started, ran and I drove it...
My thoughts:
1.) I drive it regularly. I am trying to develop my own understanding of my HMMWV. I have driven off road.
2.) If you know the service requirements of your HMMWV and you have a idea for range and capabilities you should not worry. There are repair places everywhere who could help...
I just looked it over. It looks great! It looks to me you may need to adjust or repair alternator/voltage regulator. I suspect when you go to pick it up you may need a jump. As 3jacks said your drivers side rear gear hub has a leak. You will not want it to look at TM-9-2320-280-20-2 on page...
I am at this piece in my maintenance routine. I am dealing with similar issues. When I get mine fixed I will try to remember to document and photograph what I did. I am finding that I need to replace more than I thought. This is because I cannot seem to efficiently get pieces that are...
I would start to worry 60-90 psi(I world want to fix it soon) and I would be really worried above 90 psi (There is problem vehicle should not be used! Find the problem). From what I see 40-55 is kind of normal from what I see. My nephew told me not to trust a HMMVW that starts with less than...
I am not a moderator nor do I play one on TV.:-P:-P:-P:-P
In today's PC world(auaaua), I think it is important to say you are not an automatic transmission repair person. Unless you were meaning you are no trans guy. I am not a trans either. But it makes your good news / bad news have a new...
My two cents:This is a new to you HMMWV... right... so you may be having a battery issues. Sometimes when the battery is marginal it does not shoot out the bendix gear properly. But it is probably the starter solenoid or the starter. Charge your batteries and see if it goes away.
That is something that never crossed my warped brain. People say good things about you and I am starting to think they may be right! :) I will have to study that better.
Action, you on me like white on rice. I know the EBrake is releasing. But it may be hanging on a little or need adjusting that is toward or near the bottom of the list. My Ebrake adjustment is not high priority, I know they work and hold and I know they release(It was one of the first things...
Congratulations. Glad you are a part of the club!
Midwest Military and Plan B Supply have nice kits. I like the doors slightly better from Midwest Military they have a cup holder. Others do it too. But I have yet to see described web sites selling a part per say.
I don't care what doors...
Fantastic! So can I ask what the plan is? My thougths:
1. Start you own small military
2. Start Crazy GEM1410's used Humvee Emporium
3. Start prepping for the coming apocalypse
4. Start Plan O Supply (O is 15th letter in the alphabet) -- a place for real planners (props to orgnal [I could...
You know that has been mentioned and I overlooked it on the list. It is at the bottom of my maintenance list and I could only do 2 of 3 pages. Good idea!
Thanks!
So here is a picture of them.
So far the opinion is:
1. IP needs tweaking or cleaning.
2. Diff in M998A1 is doing a better job??
3. It is a truck, quit complaining and leave us alone.
4. I don't know trucks are different ...
Thank you for all your advise. After we get them fully through...
I am a fan of the HMMWV. I enjoyed the design for a long time. Sure it could have been built better, closer tolerances, better fit and finish.... but it is a military vehicle. It was designed to take a beating and give as good as it gets. It is a great value to me after studying the design...
Congratulations on your 998. Noise is a weird thing, it is like food, some people thing things a hot and others cannot get hot enough. Mine is not loud to me. I am not a stereo person. I listen to my HMMWV. I like to figure out the noises to fix issues. I have had one for a year and I am...
