    EUC denied......?

    I've wondered that as well. Never heard of anyone being denied, which makes me wonder what the value of the process is to begin with.

    HMMWV Crank No Start

    From what you listed having done, it sounds like the start box and GPs are working correctly... or were, at least. But I don't see any mention of verifying you are getting fuel to the cylinders. I would work through the startability test flowchart mentioned in this article...

    A few questions about my M-1038

    Congrats on the "new" truck! Make sure you have done everything on this list: https://gear-report.com/humvee-info-first-things-every-hmmwv-or-hummer-owner-needs-to-know I don't see any mention of a supplementary grounding harness, checking spindle nut tabs (absolutely critical safety check)...

    Converting Nartron EESS to KDS S3

    Not sure I understand the question. I'm not aware of any dependencies between the Generator and Start Box. Yes, the 200 Amp generator install kit comes with a large diameter wire that runs across the top of the engine and down the passenger side to the frame and battery box. There is a good...

    Thanks! I have an M1045A2 on the way. Gotta make room for it in the garage. :) So, there will be LOTS more reviews and videos. And our other writers have a bunch of HMMWVs as well. I stopped counting at 8.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got a set of bead lock inserts from Stazworks to review on the Battlewagon. Not sure if I'll have time this weekend to break down my wheels and install them, but I'm looking forward to having them installed. People I trust have told me that running with no runflats is fine as long as I don't air...

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Same questions here. There is a wrecked 2005 Caravan near me with leather seats. The whole van is $400. Thinking of buying it just for the seats, then taking the rest of it to the scrap yard. I've been scouring the internet for measurements on Caravan seats, but not found any yet. BTW, someone...
