    Ambulance rear doors

    I think Austin in Texas (user Beltfed34) had some rear doors. He´s sometimes offering them on Ebay as well. And I think I´ve seen the rear steps at Kascar, but for big $$$.

    Ambulance rear doors

    I checked out those M997A2s currently offered at GP. Interestingly, they all seem to have been "demilled" by removing the CDR valve, but the DWF exhaust and the DWF intake are still there. Also, all of the kevlar spall liners on the inside of the patient compartment haven´t been removed. This...

    Ambulance rear doors

    Very nice M997, compliments. When I bought my M997 top at the local military vehicle dealer, he had three ambulance tops there. ALL had either terminally damaged or missing rear doors. Mine was the only one that had at least one rear door present and undamaged. The other one was missing...

    Face cam causing throttle to stick

    The part usually causing the leak is the plunger no. 17, which often rusts heavily and then damages seal no. 18. Overhere, I only got that seal together with no. 19, so I swapped no. 17 - 20 indeed. I didn´t swap anything from nos 40-43. BTW: You have an M1123, so four-speed tranny, and a TPS...

    Face cam causing throttle to stick

    That rocker lever actuates a little plunger which, as far as I recall, enriches the fuel flow when accelerating. The little plunger likes to rust in place, and / or start to leak diesel. I´ve had to replace the plunger on all my current Humvees. Can be done with the IP in place, you need to use...

    Alternator V-Belts rattling. Should I replace?

    Is it just me, but it looks like the rear of that 60A alternator is moving a lot ? More than mine, anyway.

    My M998 build log

    Hello Jan, welcome to the madness, from me too ! Good to hear that you bought from Thijs; you´re in pretty good hands then. He knows what he´s doing. Despite that, I´d check the wheel spindle nuts before driving any more. There have been cases of spindle nuts not being secured, and the whole...

    Wiring question

    According to PS magazine, no. 590, January ´02, pages 2 and 3, there was a version of that infamous LAU box that did not fall under the mandatory exchange scheme. http://psmag.radionerds.com/images/3/3d/PS_Magazine_Issue_590_January_2002.pdf If the box was marked NSN 6110-01-446-7126, Version...

    HMMWVs in Ukraine

    I´m also pretty sure that they are not alone militarily. Sure no NATO troops in Ukraine for the known political reasons, but Ukraine sure has many more friends than Russia has at the moment..... ;)

    HMMWVs in Ukraine

    This is a complete page just dedicated to Humvees in Ukranian service: https://uahmmwv.tumblr.com/ Sickening to know that those Humvees are now fighting against Russia less than a thousand miles from here.

    Factory type insulation options

    I don´t know why, but they seem to have pulled most of the interesting insulation stuff off their website. I was in contact with them last year about a lot of insulation for my M997, but at that time they said they were out of stock for black insulation. Later, they pulled black from their...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    No, not the swingfire heater. The early M997 had an M10530B heater in a little compartment above the commander. Together with an A/C system that I´m still working on. Point is, the A/C system will block any access to the heater, so I want to get some confidence in it before putting the A/C in.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    After weeks of rain and snow, today was a beautiful winter day for a change, so I took the M997 for a spin: One thing I noticed is that the extra heater for the rear was designed with an extra medic in mind to operate it. There´s no way for the driver to control or stop the rear heater, so...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    As the second-to-last step in the body-off restauration of my M997 ambulance, today I started the M997 cabin heater for the first time (the last step will be to get the A/C running, hopefully). Everything went fine with the heater, apart from some excessive smoke due to the long pre-ignition...

    anybody experience with the multifuel heater M 4130

    Sorry to chime in so late; I don´t visit the hot rod section every day. Actually, this heater, or rather its 10530 successor, could be mounted in the FRONT passenger (commanders) footwell as an option in early HMMWVs. There are several pages in the TMs devoted to this. The heater was mounted...

    Happy day, M1123 arrived today, question on fuel line

    Being a german engineer, I have to defend our honor... :LOL: I don´t think that tubing from Amazon was really german-made. The german in the advert sounds very weird, like an automatic translation from Chinese... :ROFLMAO: Probably, China is trying to shake the reputation of german products by...

    M998 Was Alive, But Now Is Dead

    Niehoff, who made most of the 200A alternators, have a very good troubleshooting guide on their website. Step by step. Takes the guesswork out of the parts-swapping. I had a shot regulator on my 200A last year, and a Niehoff rep I talled to (very helpful fellows, by the way) said that most of...

    Help with mounting locations

    Even if you didn´t find the D-ring underneath the plywood, the bolt hole for a big 1/2" bolt should be there. They were on every Humvee I´ve seen so far. The bolt hole sits where the big fat square aluminum tubing behind the front seats disappears into the tunnel.

    which tire you would prefer

    HMMWVs might be on it, but you simply can´t buy Humvees from Govplanet in Europe. They are only sold in the United States to U.S. citizens. We Europeans have to go through a U.S. based licensed exporter, who has to get an export license for each individual truck and the individual person from...
