Can't add much help. I just wanted to chime in because I have had the same issue with speedo. It starts out accurate but soon registers twice the actual speed until it pegs out. Also registers twice the actual miles traveled! I have tried cleaning the connection underneath at the sending unit...
I have a couple HMMWV's, one is a basic 2 man. I never drive them in rain or snow although a couple months ago I got caught in some rain. I braked only slightly moderately and the rear began to fishtail to the point I was sure the front brakes were out. I tried some heavy braking later on dry...
Thanks for the rapid response! I was thinking that too.... like to keep things stock but since parts for these are going to be impossible to find in many cases going to have to improvise.
My horn works ok other than the fact that the valve leaks enough to constantly actuate it. It is faint enough that it can be barely heard above the engine noise, just concerned if it fails any more I'll be driving down the road at full blast annoying everyone around. I pulled the valve assembly...
Another training manual online, a little more detail...

A nice maint matrix toward the end with capacities and fluid type. They sure like 15w40 oil!
I am not sure about the sealing washer you took a picture of. If that is inside the valve assembly of the aftercooler, I didnt take it apart as the new valve assembly came as a unit. I wasn't sure if what you have pictured came from the aftercooler or the actual air dryer. Either way I saw no...
Just a quick follow up. I got both the aftercooler and air dryer rebuild kits, will get to those this week. The main issue was my aftercooler purge valve not seating back fully after the purge, and then air pressure continuing to fall. I bought a new aftercooler purge valve as well, about 30...
I was just going to write that after Elijah sent the numbers I pulled up the parts online. I do see it is the aftercooler.... this is all new to me. So thanks again. Does the fact that is is the aftercooler stuck valve change my course of action? Buy both kits and install should fix the issue...
Truck is stored away from home, but snapped this pic today, maybe you can tell the model..? Thanks for the rapid responses. I’ll look up those part numbers, you guys are great!
I'm losing air pressure through the valve on the bottom of my air dryer. I pulled the rubber 90 degree boot on the bottom to gain access, and can push the valve closed to build pressure. when the pressure periodically relieves, the valve sticks open again. I searched all over, wondering if...
I am looking for a set of these brackets. They sold several huge lot of these recently at GP, I'm sure the winners of them would love to sell a set but I have no idea how to get in touch with them. Anyone have any leads? Long shot I know!

Thanks, I'll investigate. I've been reading a bit on DATCON speedos have a few things to try. I am busy and out of town much of this week, so will get to it soon.
My speedo shows nearly double my true speed. Not a huge issue in my mind but the odometer is running away at the same rate. Does anyone know what the issue might be? Can it be re calibrated electronically or mechanically somehow? Thanks guys!
