:ROFLMAO: Yes, I see the Humvee is definitely in good hands. No worries anymore from me. (y) About tires: The Wrangler MT in its "Military OZ" variety isn´t officially exported, so all Military MTs in Europe are probably surplus. However, I recently saw an ad from a tire dealer in Germany who...

To add my two cents: I´d seriously think about traveling 1,000 miles on a new-to-you Humvee. Yes, if it works, it´s a great road trip and a story you can tell your grandchildren later. But demilled Humvees from Govplanet have probably been sitting for years, and many of the moving parts are...

Well, in summer while driving in shorts, they are the difference between a warm knee, and a burned knee. The aluminum body panels between the engine compartment and the driver´s/commander´s footwell become really hot. The same applies to the body tunnel where you or your passengers may place...

Unless the Plan B top is made from special seawater resistant aluminum, it will corrode in a salty coastal environment. Regular aluminium is resistant against normal air humidity and rain, which (inshore) is practically distilled water. But at the shore, the salt in the air will attack regular...

With an ambulance, you don´t need a tent. :cool: Sleeps four, has A/C and an arctic heater. OK, OK, the heater has the noise level of a 747 taking off, and the A/C only works with the engine running (which is frown upon overhere - treehuggers everywhere :ROFLMAO: ), but apart from that the...

Yes, that seems to be it ! Thanks very much ! This group is awesome ! So I no longer have to worry that I´m missing a part of the ambulance, and can put those pins into the "what I found in my Humvees" jar. Together with those tabasco bottles, quarters and spent .223 cases (y)

Thanks for all your replies so far, guys. The pin on the picture is about 2, maybe 2 1/2, inches long.

As I might have mentioned, I´m almost done with a body-off restoration of an M997 ambulance. When I got the ambulance, I found several of these pins in the rear: All of the pins I found are damaged at the same end, some worse than this one. The black tube seems to be made from aluminium (or...

The vehicle in the first picture was a prototype called "8 man squad carrier" if I remember correctly. I think I have some AMG ads from the time somewhere. Some books even claim, that the "8 man squad" was in addition to driver and commander, so the vehicle would be seating 10 people, which I...

I once stumbled upon a heater control valve that looked completely identical, but worked "the other way around". With the knob pushed in, the valve was open and let hot water through, and when you pulled the knob out, it closed. Probably a chinese knockoff, and while copying everything, they had...

I don´t think so; overhere in Europe, the Humvee dealers source vehicles from all over the world, and every non-US Humvee I´ve stumbled upon so far (Denmark, Poland, Luxemburg, Spain, even Africa) had the same good old 8-cylinder GM/GEP diesel, either 6.2, 6.5, NA or turbo, the 3L80 or 4L80...

Like the others said, you don´t want to buy a new regulator, just because the data plate is loose. Those regulators go for big $$$$.

The "4L80 troubleshooting guide" that has been mentioned in this thread several times contains testing procedures for all sensors. That guide is a must-have for all 4L80 owners.

According to the troubleshooting guide: A = 350 c = 5 Volts from TCM B = 355 b = Sensor signal, between 0.5 and 4.5 volts C = 359 h = Sensor ground

Those are Avenger air defense Humvees, without the Stinger pods on the side. If they are on the way to GovPlanet, I want one !:)

The thickness of the gauge block is in the supplement 7 guide. 0.646 inches. If you want it super comfortable, there is a "throttle position sensor test cable" available, that provides three plugs to attach a multimeter to. However, you can also take those voltages with a needle probe stuck...

That´s right. An electronic alternator will adapt the output power, and thus the power it needs as input. However, I recently learned from a Niehoff engineer that their alternators "like to have a minimum load". I think they quoted 25 % of max output, but that´s from memory.

Also, a 400 A alternator robs a lot of engine power. Rough calculation: 400 A times 24 Volts divided by efficency of alternator (say: 0.8 ) = 12 kilowatt, or 17 horsepower !

Those four screws are set into two metal strips inside that rubber loop. Since disassembly was truly a fight, for easier reassembly I welded the screws to those metal strips, using the bracket as a template. That way, I didn´t need to hold the screws with one hand while tightening the nuts with...

All the Humvees in private hands in Germany certainly went through EUC first. Actually, to have them exported from the U.S. to Germany, we have to go through one of a handful of licensed export dealers to get a special export permit from your Government where our background ist checked. Costly...
