    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Spooled the winch cable. Got a deal on a new one about a year ago. AOR (new member) offerred to help do this as it’s something he does often in his business. It was hot, fan clutch/sensors did their job, but the power steering pump started whining about halfway through so we stopped, popped...

    Fan Clutch Seals, Friction Lining

    Jon, you ever have any luck finding the kit/lining? I have one I’m thinking about rebuilding. There used to be a kit available. I’ve poked around here and online with the original mfr looking for a kit, haven’t called yet. I’ll need bearings AND seals to do it right, I think, maybe linings...

    Gulf Coast Folks May Want To Order Fuel

    Neighbor of mine in Tennessee recently salvaged a hay harvester of some kind (I don’t know models/types) from where it had been abandoned in a field for about ten years. Had a tree growing up through part of it. He tinkered with the IP, cut down the sapling tree, turned the engine over by...

    Gulf Coast Folks May Want To Order Fuel

    Thanks for this post. Not to hijack the thread, but I’m looking at options for fuel storage on my farm. 55 gal drums vs an upright 250-275 gallon heating fuel tank (stand taller but no deeper than the drum), bottom drain, gauge, more or less airtight too. Suggestions - advantages...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally warm enough I can work on the truck without my hands and knees screaming at me. Lotta drilling and fitting ‘cause it’s NOT an A2 frame - had to make some spacers - but it’s on there.

    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    One of the reasons I bought a set too. Gave up calling around looking for someone who could or would balance my tires. There’s a distinct difference after about 20mph I can feel - smoother - “tracking” is more steady, less shaking into the steering wheel. Not a Cadillac, but smoother. I...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally got around to doing this yesterday. I'd cut the pieces last year, posted about it, put them aside and forgot about it. Well, ignored them. Mostly because I'm not a welder and the welds I was making with a cheapo $120 DC welder from Amazon.con looked like lumps of bondo. Just got up...

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    It’s not the ALTERNATOR he’s asking about, but the REGULATOR. Good question.

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    If connections are the same, it should work no problem. IF connections are same. 400 A alternator should have similar number of coils/wires/connections. Being more robust it will regulate/filter the output of the smaller alternator just fine. I’m not an IEEE-rated engineer but I did stay at...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    TWO of the S3 rivnuts loosened up when I was changing mine out; from all my years of WECSOG (Wile E. Coyote School Of Gunsmithing) experience, the best way to "fix" that is just take a Dremel cutting wheel to the head of the nut, lop off the sides until the center will drop through the hole...

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    “Clatter.” Is that the ticking noise that sounds like a header gasket leak?

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    Faulty memory. It’s THIS unit: http://www.marvgolden.com/pilot-usa-pa-400st-4-place-stereo-intercom-with-cell-interface.html The headset is this: http://www.marvgolden.com/mg-anr-headset.html You can also find ANR inserts for standard aviation headsets for about half that price if you shop...

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    I got a 4-place noise-canceling AVCOM unit from Marv Golden that allows me to plug in my iPhone/iPod and use aviation headsets. Listen to music, handle calls, pretty sweet. Don’t know how legal this is, but I’ve passed a handful of our guys in blue and other than a few waves, no one’s turned...

    New engine, new life

    For diesel engines on the whole that is. But tell me, after reading this, does the question come to your mind as it did mine: how soon will someone make an adapter for this and transplant it in their HMMWV? https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/ford-ecoblue-20l-technical-wonder/ar-AAwTTtM

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took mine out for a ride now that I’m about 90% certain the power steering hoses are holding, air’s all bled. Stopped by AOR’s place for a few minutes to take a look at his “new” M998. Looks like he got a good deal. I see the “upgrade wantsies” look in his eyes. Gave him a dash light bulb...
