Sometimes to remove serpentine belt all you have to do is press down next to the top idler pulleys and slide it right off. Can't confirm on yours with the belt going under both idlers, but on trucks with the Red Dot aircon it works easily.

they aren't necessarily an "upgrade", just a designed for a different amount of weight. With the weight removed, they can be considered a downgrade for what they do to the vehicle ride quality.

It's a huge issue at garage sales that nobody seems to understand this concept.

how does the air filter look? Black smoke is too much fuel for the amount of air it's getting, so first things to check are air filter and intake system. Does your truck have an air intake restriction gauge?

The general consensus for the HMMWV is that in snow and is unstoppable. Literally unable to stop. Don't worry too much about sliding off into the ditch, the HMMWV can usually drive right back out of most ditches and continue on it's way. That's what chains are for anyway

circled portion is the remote power steering reservoir, so the belt listed above should be the correct one. As was mentioned though, the generator isn't installed, and probably other stuff that needs fixed before you can fire it up.

There are 2 possible belts, depending on what serpentine style you have. If yours has the later setup with the remote power steering reservoir and the extra idler between the generator and power steering pump, then it's the one posted above. If it's the older style with power steering reservoir...

I think they are around 500 lbs each. In your case I'd probably run a bridle between 2 of them as the pulling point. You'll need to do something to reduce friction for the tire, like some rollers or something like that, and have a longer ramp to reduce the amount of force needed to drag it in.

I'm just hoping the wheels are interchangeable with the current generation and aren't 16.5"

don't the smaller molecules also leak out faster through the pores in the rubber? I was told the nitrogen molecules are larger (about 3%) Looking at it another way though, if nitrogen molecules are the ones that leak out slowest, all you have to do is wait for the tire to lose a little...

Trailworthyfab had on their website that to order a set of PVC beadlocks they wanted to know the exact tire you were using. This was because the old rubber beadlock/runflat had some squish to it, and wouldn't have issues if the diameter of the bead was a little different between tire brands...

So I was looking back over some other pages, and saw where the serial numbers for M1097R1 are broken down to what transmission they have. Your serial number is outside of the ranges listed on that page, so you will need to verify if it is actually a 4 speed or if it's a 3 speed transmission. If...

So the M1097 trucks (all of them) will be in the first series of HMMWV manuals. M1097A2 is the same as an M998A2 except it is considered the "heavy" variant. Here are all the HMMWV manuals for the M998 through M998A2 (the first 3 generations of HMMWV, which is everything that does NOT have...

Then I believe that is a 4 speed truck. Should be pretty much the same as the M1097A2 for repairs and parts unless they did something really different (and I haven't heard anyone who bought one of these say anything like that)

Depends on the serial number, but if it is a 3 speed transmission for the most part you treat it like the M1097A1, and if it's a 4 speed you'll treat it like the M1097A2 when looking for parts. The M1097R1 trucks were rebuilt with a serial number that doesn't match the regular line of trucks...

CAMO is a member here. not just a HMMWV thing, but he's the one making aftermarket boxes to replace the glow plug controller with something that isn't going to fail on you at random. BEOD is the Body, Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Accoding to my buddy that just retired from EOD, he figured that...

but a belt also won't fix a pulley alignment issue. the extra resistance from the compressor engaging might be pulling something out of alignment. Check to make sure the rear bracket holding the generator doesn't have a sheared off bolt at the exhaust manifold. That was one of the signs that my...

when my belt system was squeaking/squealing, it was the bolts holding the generator/power steering bracket were loose/sheared, causing the belt to be a little out of alignment. Remove the belt and spin everything by hand. Should move relatively freely. Can also try putting the belt on...
