    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    What audio system you have in mind? I am using the Ecoxgear Sound Extreme SE26 and i am very happy with it. I installed under the B pillar with 2 stainless steel brackets.

    Excessive Run Temp HMMWV

    Try different spots, like the reservoir tank, top of the radiator close to the hoses, thermostat housing, heads. I even tested the oil pan and transmission. All will be fine.

    Excessive Run Temp HMMWV

    My gauges shows 230-240 but with an infrared temp gun the highest temp was 198 degrees. I would check into it before driving yourself nuts.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Installed today a keyed kill switch connected to the IP selenoid. Painted it green to match the truck. Key is removable either in the ON or OFF possition. Removed the rim from my good tire (rim was wiggling) it was so bad that some studs were spinning on the rim. Mounted the new to me tire on...

    SF97?

    Same here, bought on spetember 21st, received on february 14 and still waiting for my SF97. Something i figured out or slipped from themis the sent the request to USMC on April 20something, i expected them to have sent that right after i picked up the truck. I guess they send a big batch out at...

    Countersunk bolt removal

    PB blaster or any other penetrant fluid for a couple of days, then hit it once hard and try to unscrew. Is the 1st thing i would do.

    Definitely the rim is bent/twisted. I mounted the wheel on the trailer axle and free spin it to a bad rim. Tire seems to be flat as per my test.

    Temperature

    Or probably it got losen while rolling? I can guarantee you that it was correctly tightened to the hub/spindle while in the fron and back. The grease started leaking while on the back and the screeching was not happening and started about 2-3 miles after running. Why, i don't know. Probably the...

    Temperature

    No, not me. My truck had 2 imaculate tires in the back, one flat in the front and another blown in the front. Had 2 more on a trailer and i obtained 2 more from a friend. Not sure if this one was on the trailer (i doubt it) i believe this one came from a friend on a donor he bought. I am...

    Temperature

    Not sure why so different. It could be that it deformed more while i used it? It did not rub in the back for a couple of days but it gow worse. I did notice also that the grease or whatever they use to slide the run flat inside was dripping through the cebter of the rim and the alignment hole...

    Ok, i regards to one tire that was wiggling, i placed on the back for a more bearable ride until i buy the new tires. Went a couple of miles around and heard a screeching. Turned out the rim is weirdly bent or not seated correctly. Some pictures of what happened, rim is already out of the truck...

    Same i thought, diesel engines (most of them) by nature are low RPM.
