    Many M816 Questions

    I will NEVER understand why the military thinks the new switch is superior. It offers nothing ergonomically, over the original.

    Many M816 Questions

    24 is just a number. What will mess with your head is the lack of color-coding and the need to located and clean all the tiny metal tags so that you can identify the wires and circuits. The wiring diagrams are not outstanding but they are adequate if you can get a clear copy of them.

    M813 transfer case issues

    I sent you a PM to get the conversation started. You'll see a red "1" on the little envelope at the top right corner of the web page. I just noticed you're in NC. There's a good possibility that you can just come to Maryland and pick this thing up. It'll save you the costs of freight and me the...

    M813 transfer case issues

    Hm. I may be able to help with that. I still have my old transfer. It shifted fine but the output bearings were shot for the intermediate shaft. I believe the oil drained clean and without metal bits. PM me if you want to discuss it.

    M813 transfer case issues

    Yumpin' Yiminey bro! Well, you have 3 options- Rebuild it yourself. Pay a commercial truck shop to rebuild it. Buy a replacement. People sell used takeouts all the time but of course that's a gamble. I bought a rebuilt unit still in the shipping can but that fellow retired and sold his...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Awhile back I mentioned that my driver's rear tire was wearing oddly on the outside edge, chewing it up. You all recommended that I check the toe-out IAW the 20-2. I checked everything. I did the "grasp and shake" tests. Spindle bearings, control arm bushings, radius arms are all very snug. No...

    Interior noise. Soft vs hard doors?

    I agree, quietest with doors off. I think hard doors will echo interior noises, making them worse unless you mitigate with metric buttloads of sound dampening material inside the doors, doghouse, tunnel and floorpan. Owners have done it and reported positive results, it just take a lot of material.

    M813 transfer case issues

    I've found the transfer case to be a bit grumpy to shift, especially if left sitting for long periods. Squirt some "liquid persuader" on the shift plunger, move the truck forward or backwards a few feet and try again. I know you said the plunger moves but it sounds to me like you're not...

    M813 battery cranking amps and wiring

    I'm doing the same thing that Wes suggested- Two Group 31 truck batteries. If you keep them topped off, there are no issues. I want to get some NAPA 6TL's just for fun but they are pricey. I've heard you can get them for less if you can coordinate a group buy with more people.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I got it done. I didn't have extra eyes so I connected my multi-meter to the switch and just listened for the "beep" when I pressed the pedal.

    Rear camber

    Coug, have you actually done this? I hate to be thick-headed but I'm still trying to understand exactly where to run the dang string. In the link you posted, I could actually just wrap a single string around the entire vehicle, passing across the centerline of each tire and just clamp the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    @Coug Ah, ok. The 200a is easier to replace but more costly. Still, $500 has to be less expensive than replacing the whole thing.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I thought you could only replace the regulators on the 60 amp versions? Sounds like it was an easy job. How much was the part?

    Thanks. The other side is fine. I have not removed the shims or modified anything, just FYI.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The very outer edge of this driver's REAR tire is getting torn up. This is an indicator of what kind of problem?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Ah-ha... I have discovered that my stop lights don't come on without pressing the pedal pretty hard. I wonder how long I've been screwing up the people following me when I stop the truck? I feel guilty about that. :oops: I found the stop light switch adjustment procedure and even the PS...
