    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 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.

    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.

    Snow?!

    You guys get a lot of it up there. During the winter in higher elevation Montana, you can't even see the roads, just hardpack.

    Snow?!

    Studs. I was just in Montana for the holiday, didn't have the 998 there but if I did, I'd stud the tires. Get another set with rims for $600, one for snow, the other not.

    HHMWV Fuel tank leak

    Repeating what action has already said because this was my issue when I had a small puddle of diesel under the tank when filling: There are 2 metal band clamps on the rubber hoses connecting the tank to the fill spout. The first one is on the inside of the wheel well, easy access. Flat head...

    Footman's Loop Mounting Location

    Yes. If you can wait another day, I'll be back at my place and I'll measure it for you. Additionally, there appears to be 2 different sizes of footman loops offered. I have a wider set on mine, and ordered some take offs to replace them (rust). The ones I got were supposed to be from a humvee...

    Truck lite LED's no low beam

    I might be off here, but a lot of "truck" leds sold on ebay specifically for Humvees are military specific non headlight models with no high/low, just on. Often times they are designated as truck led lights. Is this the case?

    1985 Hmmwv

    So on attempting to start, it just cranks constantly with white smoke coming out? No white smoke will mean no fuel. I just went over this with a fire engine that wouldnt start yesterday, and of course with my own 998. My issue was cranking was fine, good batteries. Lots of white smoke, so...
