    New HMMWV owner with questions.

    I've heard that too with the MTRs but all I can say is I've had mine for six years now with zero issues and they look like new. I have two 100% spares in case I do have issues. Mark

    New HMMWV owner with questions.

    The group 31s will fit and so will group 29. The group 29s are mainly for farm use but of you're on the budget it may be the way to go. I would absolutely go with surplus 24 bolt wheels with the 37" MTRs for some good deals. My .02 cents. Mark Group 29 battery

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    My turn signal switch is the newer LED type. Maybe I should try the older steering wheel turn signal switch as I would prefer LED all around. Mark

    '86 M998 Humvee issue with headlights and turnsignals

    I found with mine I have leds in the rear (bulb replacement to leds) and incandescent bulbs up front was the only way to get mine to work properly. Flasher would not work with all leds unfortunately. Mark

    It's a shame is It's a pita to swap over to a new wheel.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    How was it spinning on the tire balancer? You can usually see a tire issue or rim issues. With a tire as heavy as these are I would still try to 180 degree rotation of the tire to rim as it "may" help providing of course it is spinning relatively true. If the rim was bent that condition...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Back in the day if we had a tire do that we would break the bead and rotate the tire on the wheel by 180 degrees. It usually worked. Mark

    Feasibility of Solar Panel augmentation with existing MEP backup/additive power or just add larger genset?

    Be aware of the solar panels rated power as you can cut it in half in the real world. A 100w 12v solar panel will net you on the average five amp at best unless you have a tracking array system that keeps the panels at their best efficiency power production. Don't believe the hype. I'm just...

    No-start issue : Where to begin

    Use crocus cloth as it's far better than sandpaper on electrical connections and leaves less debris. Just my .02 cents. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    David Clark's are great but I run Flightcoms in my truck along with a Softcom 4 place intercom. Sure quiets down the noise. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I went into my HMMWV yesterday for the first time since November and to my horror a mouse or mice have been squatting in my damn truck. Some paper had been torn up and little raisin looking objects were visible. In this day and age do I have to go through the courts or can I just put down...

    Electric Fan Conversion?

    These stock fans move an incredible amount of air. The electrics don't move near that kind of air. Mark
