    1999 M1097A2 Loses Power 6.5l

    Your fuel lift pump is suspect. Fill the tank to full and if the problem improves, that might be it. The injection pump can provide some suction but uphill it will fail when the fuel pump is bad. A full tank provided pressure to push fuel to the injection pump. A half tank won’t. Also make...

    REV Truck Air Conditioning

    Air is compressible. All gasses are. Air just liquifies at the wrong temp and pressure to be as efficient for a car compressor. When air gets into the system, the compressor won’t be able to liquify the mixture properly, so the system won’t work efficiently. When your system let go, air got...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Your vehicle was the slowest on the road, and your speedometer cable is what you’re blaming? I guess if that’s your story, you can go with it. 😝

    Procedure for removing headlight buckets where bushings break off.

    Fastest and least damaging… drill out flat side other side. Annoying but simple. Other method would have been tack weld a bolt to other side and use ratchets both sides. not enough room for a cutoff wheel and Dremmel just too small. Thanks guys!

    Procedure for removing headlight buckets where bushings break off.

    Darned buckets rotted. Worse, bushings are breaking and end nuts are frozen. Anyone know the best procedure for removing the frozen nuts from the hood? Or do I need to drill out/brute strength them?

    Log of my 1995 Hummer

    Been busy. Had a hot second today to make a small change, but it’s the little things that make all the difference. Rusted lug nuts going away. New black ones from Amazon installed. Cleaned up the wheels nicely. Old bolts will get muriotic acid and black paint and will be recycled onto the M1025.

    Need to tap some power in the rear

    Double that amperage when selecting wires and relays and switches.

    Need to tap some power in the rear

    I’ve read the title of this thread three times, and I still think it could have been written by Bob Guccione. Tap power from batteries and use a relay. My strong suggestion.

    Caution about Iron Planet/Gov Planet HMMWV's

    Honestly, who cares? What is the purpose of all the guessing about Uncle Sam’s actions? They auction until it’s done. There are only 500,000 more to go.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Nothing as good as cruising to “The World Famous Ramones”!!!! And yes, that song was and is about my home town. Thanks for the smile.

    REV overheating - normal?

    Start simple. Make sure you have enough radiator fluid and you don’t have a leak.

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    When I crawled under mine, I was able to reach them.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Parks Department built a new multimillion dollar off the grid modern looking building by the beach. My buddy and I decided to go for a drive. We decided we should figure out what this place was. Honestly, it is a super expensive public toilet with a few water fountains and office space. What I...

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Loosen the injector hoses from underneath. Crawl under. Trust me.

    Cooling system upgrades

    Yes. And it is inferior to the HMMWV system. I own several HMMWV and I own my 1995 Hummer. I can say by experience that my HMMWV A0 through ECV REV A are universally superior. Temps when the fan is activated get lower in a flash. I can also use a switch to bypass the Cadillac valve to activate...

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Respectfully. Not all injectors get stuck OPEN. This method I described is exactly how I found a plugged/closed injector that needed replacement.

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    As an explanation of Mogman post, you keep cracking injector fuel lines until you find the one that does not affect the cadence/tap. The bad injector line can’t push fuel through so loosening it can’t affect the engine rhythm.

    Cooling system upgrades

    Respectfully… 1-Military cooling upgrade kit requires pixie dust and Elvin magic. AMG woulda done it if it worked. 2-Unless your hydraulic system is missing or busted, nothing is wrong with the HMMWV cooling system as-is. That viscous system posted is only 80% maximal. Cannot lock up. It will...
