    In my unit you were assigned a vehicle to take care of. Usually that would also be the one that you drove or rode in. Sometimes it was just whichever vehicle for your particular duty section had seats in, or needed a driver for. I was assigned to an M934A2 5 ton expando van. I was also part...

    Bolt holes 2 large or missing the treaded inserts on the windshield/B pillar for top rails supports

    Agree with action, they are supposed to be wellnuts, not rivnuts for those spots.

    M116A3/101A3 hub seals cheap

    I ordered them Friday after you posted this. They arrived today. Use by date code of 13, but packaging is all still intact so I see no reason why they wouldn't still be good.

    Heads up/NOCO chargers are 50% off at Amazon today (11-29-21)

    It was kind of funny/sad reading some of the reviews on this particular charger. It seems like a few of these units have one output set fail, while the other still works. The second most common 1 star review is people who don't understand that if you have batteries wired in parallel, they...

    Heads up/NOCO chargers are 50% off at Amazon today (11-29-21)

    For the NO.CO GEN5X2 2 bank 5 amp charger someone asks a similar question: Question: Q:I have 2 12 volt trolling motors wired to provide 24 bolts. Does the crossover wire need disconnected for charging?Do you hook it up with cross over Answer: Each 12V battery should be connected to its own...

    Heads up/NOCO chargers are 50% off at Amazon today (11-29-21)

    You understood it correctly. Using a multi battery charger with leads to each battery is a better charging method than using a single 24V charger, especially if your truck is still using a 60 amp generator. 24V is easier if it isn't a permanent installation.

    Heads up/NOCO chargers are 50% off at Amazon today (11-29-21)

    The big problem here is it's not actually 50% off, or however much they are claiming. If you go straight to the NO.CO website, all of the prices are 20-30% lower than the amazon listings. Still a sale price, but not a major one. Correction, a couple of them are the same price, like the GB50 is...

    Humvee cooling issue

    Have you checked with a laser thermometer to see if the radiator is actually heating up? There could be some type of blockage or your new thermostat might not be functioning properly.

    Charge / Tend HMMWV via slave port

    Unfortunately NO.CO has discontinued all of their consumer level 12/24V chargers, and the cheapest one they offer is $500.

    I'd never actually seen it before, but in my experience anything with a vented guard like that is likely exhaust related, and the only thing I could think of that might have an exhaust pipe there would be an arctic/ personnel heater. After that it was just a quick search to find images that...

    What is the highest mileage hmmwv anyone has encountered

    The civilian H1 uses the same engine/transmission in some of the models sold, and there are some of them out there well over 100k miles. If you take care of it, then it will last pretty much forever, and can be rebuilt down the line. If you don't take care of it, you might not even hit a...

    Help with Red Dot System

    I'm the one that made lots of comments over on the facebook post. One thing I thought of later: All the hose fittings are reusable, but getting new bands to secure them is recommended. If you are careful you can pry them apart without damaging them. I used a pair of CV boot clamp pliers to...

    M1151 door

    the straight doors are for trucks with a certain armor/cab on them. They don't fit properly without that design. I believe it's the M1113/M1114 that they go to. So no, without doing a lot of work to the cab and roof of the truck they will not work.

    M1123 Brush Guard & Bumper Options

    Ibistek is a bumper system, not a brush guard. It WILL provide better protection down lower and in the center, but not at the outer edges of the hood. You don't lose towbar capability with the luverne using the correct brackets. See link below, upper set of holes are for brush guard, lower...

    Holes from armored windshield?

    As for getting the old ones out of the frame, the most efficient way is to remove the windshield assembly from the truck, drill all the rivnuts out, and then turn it upside down and shake it back and forth with the plugs behind the wiper pivots removed for them to fall out of. Other than that...

    Holes from armored windshield?

    the channel the gasket sits in is more of an alignment for install, not an actual retainer.

    Holes from armored windshield?

    the 4 of them right below the windshield? there is supposed to be a bracket bolted on there to retain the bottom of the windshield gasket. A little sealant and a bolt works fine. Most of the water coming down on my feet is from around the start box plug

    M1123 Brush Guard & Bumper Options

    So the one you have now offers more hood protection than many of the others short of the predator style, as most of the military ones for the GMV trucks focused more on pushing stuff out of the way and keeping the truck moving, not on protecting the fiberglass of the hood. The W style front...
