The individual That I bought my HMMWV from last year told me that he recently replaced all the glow plugs. He also gave me a bag with 8 extra glow plugs. How can I tell if they are the non swelling type glow plug?
I have been reviewing a lot of conversations about very difficult glow plug removal. Is it better to replace glow plugs on a regular maintenance type schedule long before they become a problem and if so what would that replacement schedule be?
Thanks for all replies and pics. Forgive me for my ignorance but you talk of a "Shunt". I'm assuming that this is the rectangular box on the inside of the battery box? If I understand you correctly I need to totally disconnect the negative cable that connects from the battery to the "Shunt"...
Could you send some clear pics of the wiring for your disconnect switch. I tried installing one on mine and evidentially had it configured wrong. When I turned switch on it blew to Kingdom Come.

I am thinking of purchasing a cargo extension kit for my HMMWV. My vehicle has been converted to a 4 door hard top. Do any members have any pics of what the extension kit might look like installed with a 4 door hard top? I have attached some pics to show what my vehicle looks like now. Thanks in...
I replaced all 4 of my tires with the Goodyear military tire on original 2 piece rim. I left the run flats off. I did not replace run flats with the PVC inserts. Tires balanced quite well. I have about 3000 miles on tires, mostly highway. I have a 700R transmission with electronic overdrive so I...
The (H) and (HL) seem to line up fine. I have no problem with either one. I will check the (L) as there may be a bit of a difference. Thank you. I will report my findings.
I have a 1989 HMMWV 6.5 non turbo with a 700R transmission installed. Transfer case (H) and (HL) work fine. When I shift transfer case into (L) I have to physically hold shifter in low position or it immediately jumps out of (L) position. The 700R transmission was already installed when I...
