You must have a very understanding wife. (She got a sister?) Don't forget to skim a few $$ every coupe of big purchases for flowers, lots of flowers...
Digging up an old thread. Can anyone comment on whether the cannon plug on this part number (12379865) can be spliced into my existing engine wiring harness? I have an old smart box that has died and the connon plug is corroded on. The rest of the wiring is OK as far as I know. I plan to get the...
YurtGuy, I wish you luck and am happy to provide any advice and experience I can. I speak "heavy-duty sewing" and will help if I can. There are a couple of us on the site who sew more than recreationally.
To All: That said, comments about $400 5-ton bed covers strike a nerve with me. Skip the...
Agree w checking all wiring connections and battery state of charge. Could be something simple (not that new batteries are cheap, but you get the idea). Also, not everyone knows that the post the positive lead off the forward battery goes to has a corresponding post on the other side, meaning...
It's easier than you think Mogman... he posts his cell phone # in the threads. He prefers you call and chat. Good old fashioned human interaction! Call him, he's a good guy.
There is a sticky thread he wakes up periodically, but it's simple, for HMMWVs he does tops, door skins and rear curtains...
WW is retired and can't keep up with the business he has. I've spoken with him more than once and my assessment is he doesn't want or need a website and he doesn't want to grow, just serve fellow owners with his lifetime skills. He is having fun, and keeping busy serving an enthusiastic niche of...
I was thinking of trying the wet sandblasting technique over a tarp in the yard in a place in the yard where I have no plans to ever try to grow anything.
Yes, there can be a difference. When I was searching last year, I found many p[umps that had the right part number but turned out to be for civilian 6.5 Diesel applications. The civilian version of the steering pump does not account for the HMMWV fan clutch pressure, and as a result can lack...
Dropper mine off at a garage willing to swap the transmission and transfer case. Had gathered everything to do it myself but other obligations continue to delay me and it's too cold now to do it myself. I hope to get a highway-ready HMMWV back in a week...

I had someone else do the swap, for a 4L80 and NP242 from a turbo diesel setup. Used EZ TCU for the controller to avoid having to replace the wiring harnesses. There's several places that will sell you a salvaged HMMWV 4L80 and they are easy to rebuild (I'm told). I'm having mine replaced due to...
Sent you a message in the Conversations feature. You should be able to respond, even with a low post count, since I wrote you first. Let me know if not.

Intriguing idea. Got me interested so I looked around at retrofit arms. They exist, but there doesn't seem to be much on the net about installing them in a non-standard application. Some scant boating forum entries on retrofit and repair. It sounds like a great idea. I hate driving with my head...
