    Prototype fiberglass airdrop cab 6x6 truck

    That would be cool to build into a full motion simulator to play the "spin tires" video game.

    Problem with my HMMWY

    I think what hes saying is that these things have dedicated ground wires from all points built into the harnesses. For just this reason. The main "underlying problem" would be a bad harness or compromised internal grounding path inside a component. The TM electrical trouble shooting will...

    Problem with my HMMWY

    True. But now that these things are 20+ years old they are having issues with corrosion, damage, and unknown amounts of questionable maintenance that render that original grounding pathways less than adaquate

    Problem with my HMMWY

    Another simple test to run is checking the voltage output from the batteries with the engine off, and from the generator when its running. Just to confirm you are good there first. I also agree that ground issues are likely with ALL the gauges geeking out randomly. Cleaning ground and power...

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    I don't think I could bring myself to recommend replacing a rear main seal that is NOT leaking...no matter how convenient. Just let the miracle happen.

    Driving Techniques

    This video shows soldiers being trained how to do it. It is used when one or both corners are in the air. The major reason people snap half shafts is from letting the tire in the air get spinning and then JAM on the brakes. The inboard brake rotor stops instantly but that huge tire/runflat...

    Winch mount problem

    Start by taking off the block off plates on the end of the frame. See whats in there. Don't the mounting feet of the winch line up with those holes on the winch plate?

    Probably another start trouble thread

    This is a pretty informative video on troubleshooting the hmmwv. Even though its NOT about a no start condition, It shows you how to test the glow plugs

    6.2 Head Gasket Issue (Video)?

    M998 drivetrain issues please help !

    My first thought with drivetrain noise that is affected by letting off the throttle would be U-joints/center bearing. Mine had a ringing squeak that matched driveshaft speed under a medium acceleration. Greased all the joints. They seemed in good condition but when I replaced both front and rear...

    Trouble Shooting 2001 Humvee with 4 speed trans in limp mode

    The part where you say the gauges are trying to reset every 10 seconds...sounds like there may be a short somewhere that is popping a breaker and resetting and popping again. There is not much wiring in there so I would start with a visual inspection of your wiring harness front to back looking...

    Vent line rubbing on CV boot

    Just something to look for during your next PMCS... Happened to find the vent line rubbing on the boot. The clamp was twisted too far down and the vent lie rubbed on the boot during turns and nearly wore through the line and the boot. I just loosened the clamp and twisted it the other way so it...
