    My New Humvee tachometer installed

    I had to replace the transducer (sender). When I pulled it, the "bump" on the shaft which engaged with the drive off the engine was corroded to where it wasn't even turning. Works great now. You might want to pull yours and take a look. I found on on ePay for about $22 delivered.

    HMMWV body has pos current

    One of the first things I did to my truck was remove and replace the steering column. Old style with ears/tabs and aluminum bits all broken, easier/cheaper/safer I thought just to replace it. What was behind it was a YUGE bundle of wiring harness which had come off the restraining clamps and...

    Upper ball joint removal

    I think you're probably right. My thought was to try some penetrating oil and a pickle fork (one page up is a list of tools needed: Tools General mechanic’s tool kit: automotive (Appendix B, Item 1) Pickle fork (Appendix B, Item 129) Special Tools Socket adapter (Appendix B, Item 146)...

    LED light bar with folding windshield

    I installed this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UESXQ8Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Just above the winch on the winch/bumper plate. Brush guard clears by about 1" no problem. Light may be a little low for your needs, but you could always make a bracket and bolt it onto...

    HMMWV w/e?

    Funny that TACOM decided to spell it out for us. Must've been a whole lotta WTF questions about W/E.

    Starter not engaging flywheel properly

    IF it turns out to be the solenoid (they cook under the heat, delaminate, lose efficacy sometimes), oddly enough amazon dot com has them in stock. NSN 5945012101299 SAT-4108UT Ametek/Prestolite. $39.95 prime. I poked around and saw them for sale for as much as $200 elsewhere. Weird. Oh, and...

    Starter not engaging flywheel properly

    Just be very careful with ePay. Several sellers are pushing CHINESE-made parts as MILSPEC with same part/NSN. If you can't SEE the label on the starter and READ "Leece-Neville" or "Presolite" its probably Chinese. Not to name names [wolfer] but I bought a couple of windshield wiper pivots...

    Starter not engaging flywheel properly

    Manuals. [someone had to say it] Also search for the actual starter, MFY-6714UT Leece-Neville (but Prestolite makes it too): http://www.prestolite.com/pgs_support/support_0.php

    Hmmwv driving fine then started vibrating or shaking violently? Help ?

    Lube order, lube order, lube order. And engine and transmission drain plugs are 20 ft-lbs. TRY looking that number up quickly. (that's rhetorical). You can buy Dexron 3 in giant economy size 5 gal buckets off Dr. Evil's amazon site, Rotella HD diesel 15W-40 from Maomart, Tractor Supply Co too...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Where in the HECK did you find one of those? I just spent a few minutes browsing amazon, epay and Grainger looking for it without any luck. I'm a real stickler for superfluous detail like that and I WANT one. edit: searched for "toggle switch switch guard" and clicked on images. Bingo!

    Can someone help clarify something for me regarding model variance?

    I think so. Looks like you're at the right spot. Rocker cover-head-block-water pump-fuel point gives good orientation. I believe your numbers are underneath the fuel line if there at all. Go back to the tach drive and look at how it's mounted. Plenty of pictures around showing which is...

    part number for door strap

    Just soft doors. Same manual, see "Ballistic door" part #5340012538971 Real4wd.com has picture looks like strap piece is slotted which makes sense; easier to take doors off, but it's a different part somehow.

    HF Radios for HMMWV

    Match the antenna to the FREQUENCY. Longer the antenna, the longer the wavelength. It's why microwave and GPS antennas are a few inches vs. a 160 Meter antenna full length dipole is just that, 160M overall length. You can "cheat" with coils, partial shielding (Zepp antennas for example)...

    part number for door strap

    look for part # 5595217 in 20-1 parts manual, part #20 on page 316-3, RH LH is # 41256040 Looks like macmotors has 'em. RH only. Happy Hunting.
