    Mre boiling vessel plug in needed

    For your own use, you might be better off making a cable with the correct end on it, rather than trying to find something already made. Mine I have what looks like a computer power cable that plugs into the NATO slave port in the truck. I think it's supposed to be for some type of battery...

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    might be a little confusion here, but the fan clutch is a dead end system. It doesn't have to be purged of air to function. Over time the air does get purged, because the fluid comes in and compresses the air, and the air gradually makes it's way up the hose to the cadillac valve as the fan...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    The earlier trucks (A0/A1) the diff mounting bracket is in the way of the seals. First time you replace the seal with the diff out, you grind back enough metal from the brackets so as to not interfere with doing it in the future. Later trucks it can be done with the diffs in the truck no...

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    I definitely like mine. I have cracked the housing a couple times when I had the lights on and drove much too fast into standing water (1' deep or more with enough speed that it was well over the roof of the cab) but at $40ish per housing it's still cheaper than a quality LED assembly with...

    M1097 6.5L 4 speed Thermostat - fan - issue question....

    Checking multiple spots and the radiator hoses would be a good indication if the thermostat is opening properly. I've also seen what people thought was overheating/boiling coolant was actually blown head gasket putting combustion gasses/pressure into the cooling system.

    Headlight question.....not LED's

    It's been a couple months now, have you gotten everything installed and working, and if so what is your opinion on it?

    M1097 6.5L 4 speed Thermostat - fan - issue question....

    Have you verified any of these temps using a laser thermometer? These are notorious for the gauges to be inaccurate, or wiring issues with high resistance causing incorrect readings.

    Post Engine Oil Cooler Change - Starting Problem

    What voltage do the batteries read while you are trying to crank over the engine?

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    Easiest thing to do is get a pressure gauge and thread it into the end of the fitting with the bleed screw. The fan clutch just needs pressure, not flow. It's a dead end system, so slow flow will just make it take longer to disengage; not prevent it from doing so.

    Stuck Fan Clutch

    I believe it has a pressure regulator in it for something about 120psi to the fan clutch

    200 A alternator probably shot - but why, and what now ?

    the guy you just responded to is "Camo" and makes an aftermarket replacement for the smart box

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    HMMWVs have a 6 digit serial number, H1s have a 17 digit VIN. Modifying the HMMWV serial to 17 digits is an illegal modification if not done by the government agency in charge of such things.

    Humvee Thermostat Housing Problem

    Looks like he went to install, then realized/remembered that it snapped it off during removal.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    For automatic transmission use, DEX VI is 100% backwards compatible. Everything else should stick with DEX III (transfer case, power steering) Or just keep everything DEX III for simplicity sake.

    How long can you run without serpentine belt?

    If I had to I might run the engine, from dead cold, maybe 3-5 minutes at most. Probably wouldn't do it more than 1 minute if possible. Definitely wouldn't use much throttle. It might be safe for longer periods of time than that, but the fact is running it for 1 minute, then letting it cool for...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    I probably should have mentioned the first picture is about 3 years after I painted it with RAPCO. I sprayed it using a cheaper power sprayer (wagner) and then touched up places with rattle cans after that dried. I spoke with Rapco a couple years ago when they changed suppliers for their...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    One advantage of RAPCO is they sell rattle cans of paint as well as gallons, so it's pretty easy to touch it up later. CARC is a much tougher coating, so doesn't need touched up or fixed anywhere near as much as paint does. pictures probably won't show you what the colors look like in real...

    Center link, tie rod ends, drag link, pitman interchange between 998 and 1123

    The center drag link is thinner than the A2 version, so if you use the A2 idler and pitman arm you have to add a spacer (just a thick washer really) to the castle nuts to make up the extra length of the threads. Not sure the differences in the tie rods

    HMMWV Alignment Question - well maybe.

    If you take it somewhere to have an alignment done, they should have "H1" in their alignment rack computer system

    Center link, tie rod ends, drag link, pitman interchange between 998 and 1123

    Usually if you need both the ends and the shafts, it's easier to buy them as an assembly. Part numbers can be found on here for assemblies and individual parts (but not all are available right now) https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/TIE-RODS-RADIUS-RODS_c_965.html
