I was looking for a heater I could add to my HMMWV now that winter is coming on. I've only got soft doors and with the helmet hard top it's got a lot of space to keep warm. I have this heater that I bought years ago and am not sure what it went to. Does anyone recognize this unit?
I...
Thanks for the suggestions on the transmission. when I get in there I'll work on the silicone seal. Until then I'll be careful with the heater. I worked on it some more today. It's slow going. I contacted a guy I've bought some CUCV parts from before and he made me a great deal on a battery...
I was out working on the generator this weekend. I would like to thank Dwnorton1 for all his expertise and first hand knowledge and helping me locate a key part for this generator. I'd also like to thank Guyfang for his help, he was also instrumental in fixing this. I installed a replacement...
I've been working on the CMT and neglecting the HMMWV a little, but the CMT has been waiting for about 7 years to get the arctic heater installed. The last drive I took the HMMWV for got a little interesting. The turn signal wouldn't flash, but stayed on continuously when I had the brake pushed...
I was able to get more of the winterization kit installed today. I had been painting the right fender skirt since I had to take it out to install the new blower assembly. The instructions are not very clear on where you need to drill additional holes in the skirt. I made the best guess and...
Here another part of the arctic kit you never see included. If I hadn't seen it in the manual I wouldn't have even thought to ask if they had one.
There is a package of 24 clips that push into the holes on the hood to hold it. It took a while to clean up the hood and touch up some paint...
Here's the exhaust hose between the oil and transmission pans and the hose from the transmission pan out-
I'm still attaching the exhaust to the fuel tank guard but it got too dark tonight.
Here are pictures of the replacement blower assembly that allow the personnel heater to heat the cab-...
Well I worked on the install some more today. One thing led to another and I ended up going for the full kit. Now my fender liner, batteries and trays are all out of the truck. I wanted to get the fuel lines put in for the coolant heater and realized it would be easier to reach the T down on...
I had a little time this morning to work on the generator some more. I took the side panel off and got quite a surprise.
Looks like a rat or something found its way into the generator and was making a nest in the insulation. I wondered how the sound / acoustic worked, with the cover off you...
We occasionally have pretty cold weather in Utah, not the coldest, but enough that I would want to at least use a block heater. The Contact Maintenance truck is not used often compared to our daily drivers and may not be near a power outlet so I began gathering parts for the arctic heater kit. I...
I spliced the battery cables that were cut off right where they went into the generator base. I used nice barrel crimps and 2 layers of heat shrink. It made a very good connection. The pump was not stuck so I decided to try firing it up. The prime function worked good and was pumping fuel ok...
Thanks for the various ideas. I think I will try and get it going with minimal repairs for now, as was pointed out it would not be smart to invest too much in it if there is something catastrophic with the engine. I found and replaced the diode that was broken in half (the one back by the...
The NSN for the medium GERS is 4930-01-533-9826.
Here's a link to the only info I've found so far-

Hello
I'm still looking for the manual if anyone is lucky enough to have received one with their GERS system. Here's a couple more pictures of what the accessory kit looks like. The big black thing is a replacement liner.
Thanks for everyone's help so far on this. I've been looking over the schematic and have a lot of it figured out. The battery cables were cut off and I still have the end on the starter where the positive went. Does anyone know where they connected the negative wire? I'm assuming somewhere on...
Hello I think what Guyfang was referring to the links where you could see the distribution statement on the TM that army navy store has listed. It is a limited distribution (I think we call it distribution B now) document. It says that it has limited rights data, probably copyrighted data. My...
Hello
I just picked up a neat trailer with generator. Originally it came with two 5kw generators wired to a switch box. Apparently the DOD needed more generators in the 90s so they came up with these commercial trailer mounted generator set to supplement the MEP series. The trailer is really...
Hello
Years ago I bought a 30kw generator. It sat for years as backup power at one of the state prisons. It's a Hol-gar CE-301-AC generator FSN 6115-077-8600. It uses a GM Detroit diesel 3-53 engine and I believe it's a Westinghouse generator end. I've had it running a little but the fuel...
I've been busy at work, but finally got a chance to work on the HMMWV again. I have a heavy duty antenna mount that mounts on the back and has a side support that I wanted to install so I could add an HF antenna that need some good support. With the helmet hardtop on, it wouldn't quite clear...
I finally got a couple pictures of the fuel bladder tonight.
I've heard different opinions on how these work. Is there an inside bladder for the fuel and the air just pressurizes in the outer one to squeeze the inner bladder to push the fuel out? The spare bladder does look thinner than...
