    Thanks, I had looked at that. What's your plan now to install a front winch?

    Another “Hard to Start” Thread

    Congratulations on your purchase! So with the existing control box does the vehicle run well once you get through the startup? Any other issues? Like you, I was having issues starting because my ESS was sending 23v constant to my glow plugs If it does run well, I'd suggest breaking the...

    Daily driver, only vehicle currently. 4 days a week 25 miles a day, 2 days a week 70 miles a day. Has been 32 in the morning occasionally, 105 in the afternoons also. All good here. (besides slow, loud, and hot ;)

    starter motor running in run position

    Had an aftermarket keyed one go bad on me too. You know because when you turn it to on it will bump the starter. Give it a week more and when you do the same it immediately starts cranking in the run position. Don't make them like they used to ;)

    Manual Glow Plug Control Instructions

    There are 2, but absolutely not mandatory. 1. Isolate the plugs away from the potential problem that fried them to begin with. Remember, we still want to keep the box in as the others have said. 2. Not messing with the factory harness. It's a good idea to keep the humvee as original as...

    Manual Glow Plug Control Instructions

    Exactly why I went the route I did. Did you check that the plug connectors weren't getting 24v constantly before you tied in to the harness? Mine were, that's why I went the separate harness route. The glow plugs fry because they can't be on for prolonged periods of time.

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Top Slant Back

    Very nice, impressed! Are you planning on any versions with a fabric zippered rear window rather than plastic? Figure the plastic will wear quick, especially in the cold and fabric would keep eyes off. I'm running a review camera and no mirror so don't need the visibility.

    HMMWV LED light conversion question.

    Same here. Perhaps you are thinking of led turn signals, which blink really fast when installed unless you put a resistor in. You're fine with led headlights.

    Glowplugs Never Energize and Have You Ever What the Inside of a PCB Looks Like

    I used the ground too from the manual button. Safer than running the hot in my mind. Are you working this through the box or separately. I ran it separately. Running it through the box and the existing system would be great...

    Wire Routing Question...Tracking wires after a harness massacre

    I agree with bikeman on the replacing the entire harness rather than patching together. You will lose durability and waterproof-ness. I bought a secondary glow plug harness from epay and ran it to make a manual controller rather than splicing. Sorry you have to deal with that, I wonder what the...

    Gun racks in the humvee

    Hmm, there was a reply by another member here in regard to one of the chastise posts and it disappeared? Do mods remove posts? Skipping thread.

    Connection below windshield frame; what’s it for?

    Random hmmwv question- why are there velcro strips all over body

    When you rip the velcro off and it leaves residue, you can use goo gone to get that off. Heat gun or hair dryer also helps, as previously stated.
