    Dome Light Cable

    Looks like its 97-3106A-10SL-3S(946) for the connector https://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogusd/648/1577.pdf

    Hub bearing race

    When I replaced the input seal on one of my hubs the shims that were on there got destroyed so I had to do a trial and error to get the correct amount of tightness in the bearings. I would drive it a little and if it got too hot then I would add a shim. Probably not the proper way to do it but...

    Soft Top Vs Hard Top

    By hard top I'm assuming you mean the steel slant back? From what I've heard they are heavy, expensive, leak in the rain, and rattle a lot. Soft top is better for a casual cruiser.

    Grease question

    I like the green stuff, that way when its gets slung everywhere it matches the rest of the truck :)

    Flat tow

    HMMWV doesn't have park to stop the transmission from turning even when the tcase is in neutral.

    Push button light switch Nightmare

    I think those push button switches are cool as **** and I REALLY want one, but stories like this are why I will probably never change out the 3 lever.

    Blown hub output seal

    I got a 4 prong spindle socket from Advance Auto, don't remember the size and I did have to shave the prongs down a little but it works. For installing the output seal I used a pvc coupler with the cap, can't remember the size of that either but if you take the seal to Home Depot or similar they...

    How much can a Humvee push?

    The amount a HMMWV will push is directly proportional to how deep your wallet is. Don't want to spend any money fixing your truck, don't push stuff.

    Engine fan in cold weather.

    Don't think mine comes on when its 60 or below.

    Soft doors window "spot" removal?

    Dont think you can remove them. From what I've read its some kind of bacteria in the vinyl that eats it away from the inside. When I first got my windows they had a decent amount of brown spots but since they have been in the sun for a couple years they have all turned white and aren't that...

    Melting instrument cluster light lenses

    I just got some cheap ba9s based LED bulbs from ebay. Even though the ones I got say they are rated for 24v they seem to burn out pretty quick. I think either the vibrations are killing them or they are really 12v bulbs so I'm in the process of finding some more robust. Ebay, though I think...

    Melting instrument cluster light lenses

    Both of mine were melted. Replaced them with clear lenses and white LED's and now I can actually see the gauges at night.

    Parking Brake Lever

    When I installed a lever that had the safety switch it no longer hits the dash, seems they put a limiter on how far down it travels.

    Water pump pulley replacement.

    I've replaced the whole water pump without removing the stack. The only real hard part is sticking your arms through the fan to get at the bolts on the front of the fan clutch.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Swapped out the normal parking brake lever for one with a safety lever that you have to press to disengage it. Took a lot longer than expected to install and needed two people, don't know why they didn't just put riv-nuts into the body to make it 100x easier.

    I have the Airlift bumper and brackets, but no nuts and bolts. Need sizes...

    Some closeups, its just a rectangle with a hole in it really.

    stock vs variable rate springs

    Because the spring pockets are different in the later versions to accept the progressive springs, they wont sit properly in the earlier style.

    Low Sulfur Fuel - Adding Lubrication

    I used to do that waste oil thing for my M35A2, was a giant pain in the butt to heat it up to get it thin enough to filter it. I just throw half a quart of 2 cycle oil in per tank every now and again, a gallon is decently cheap at Walmart.

    Dead in the water

    Had the same thing happen to me, turned out the glow plug control box fried and left the glow plugs on all night.

    stock vs variable rate springs

    Just keep in mind that to use them you need the cast upper spring perches and later style lower control arms.
