    Mounting and balancing the tires

    They probably just do not want to mess with it, I would assume all Discount Tire shops have the same equipment

    Mounting and balancing the tires

    That is probably true, I find the "critical" speed to be around 70mph

    Mounting and balancing the tires

    You will have to mount your own tires as a tire machine cannot be used, if they try it will likely damage the rim. I have never heard of a shop that will mount tires for the HMMWV. I get mine balanced at Discount Tire as they have balancers with lifts to handle the heavy tires.

    Need assistance have a M1097 A2 in Limp mode

    If you do not have a trans light then going into diag mode will not make any difference. Unhook the batteries then remove the main harness connector at the TCM box, reconnect the batteries turn the run switch on (you should have the TSU disconnected while you are working on electrical issues)...

    Humvee starter

    On an automatic transmission the "flywheel" is called a flex plate, you would need to drop the transmission to replace, rotate the engine slowly while inspecting the teeth on the flex plate. First remove the dust cover and see what is going on, if you see something post some pics.

    Humvee starter

    You need to inspect the flywheel (flex plate) teeth, many times there will be a bed spot necessitating the replacement of the flex plate

    Power Steering noise and problem

    It is not likely the booster would give you pump noise and rough steering, me personally I would much rather replace a booster than a pump. Have you replaced all the o rings in the high pressure hose fittings and all the return hoses? If the system was working fine and not low on fluid and then...

    Power Steering noise and problem

    ikoinu has a great point, you have not described the noise nor have you said if the belt was loose or tight, failing brackets/mounts for various components can cause noise and a loose belt which can effect the steering. Bad or seizing idler pulleys can cause all kinds of symptoms So is it a...

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    I darn sure would, do you know where I can get one cheap?

    M1097A2 build thread

    54C is the fuel solenoid circuit, on some vehicles the diode is used for noise suppression, in some cases may be used to suppress radio interference but not likely here as the solenoid is ether on or off so would not be an interference issue. In any case you should unplug it as it is possible...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    No, the 242 does not have that input shaft available as far as I know, but there were several different renditions of the 242 so I would think it might be possible, with the absence of a clocking ring it is a rather moot point unless you want to build one from scratch as I did, I actually ended...

    Hmmwv fuel solenoid

    Welcome to the SS forums!! You may want to score yourself some of the 5 point torx bits so you can take the top off of the IP. What did the fuel filter look like?

    M1097A2 build thread

    What is the wire tag number that the device is plugged into (right above the IP in the picture), also the other end should be plugged into another wire or something

    Something rattling in my head

    Welcome to the SS forums, try cracking each injector line loose one at a time on that side of the engine and see if you can narrow it down to one cylinder. And as Spankybear says some just have a life of their own.

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    I think the switch he talks about is only on the 3 speed, the TPS controls all throttle functions to the transmission.

    M1097A2 build thread

    That looks like a diode or "suppressor" I think they call it, they put them inline with inductive devices like the run and cold start solenoids and the horn circuit to help keep from frying things like the EESS box with my favorite evil, Reverse Electromotive Force.

    Battery charging question

    I am not sure why but I see allot of non working NOCO chargers for sale on the popular action site.

    Military to Civilian Engine Swap Questions

    But you also must build it as a NA as the pickup block does not have the pedestal for the center mount turbo fully machined. Now since you have a basic or A1 machine and if you do not care about future A/C etc, I believe some have managed to install the truck motor basically as is with some...
