    MEP-802A Starter problem?

    I'm getting into seasonal maintenance a tad late. MEP-802A is acting up a tad. The starter will kick in briefly and then stop when the switch is engaged. Dead crank has no problem engaging the starter continuously. I presume this is a bad solenoid or start relay somewhere. Where do I start...

    Usually just a replacement plug. May be worth testing Ohms first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah. Galvanic corrosion is real. Even a thin layer f corrosion protection would be an improvement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1151A1 ECV LF Caliper Installation

    Wow. Just spent 2 hours trying and failed. Struggling to get 1/4” of clearance for the caliper to crossmember. Loosening the pinion mount and a pry -bar helped but not enough. Looks like I’m pulling the cooling stack to access the mounts and recentering. Not bad, have to pull the stack anyway...

    M1151A1 ECV LF Caliper Installation

    Long story, I'm WIP re-installing the front differential after a rebuild. The differential is in, RF brakes are done. I'm having difficulty with the LF caliper installation. There is not enough room in the forward direction to slip the caliper around the adapter/pads/rotor assembly. I'm...

    M1097A1 Steering Gear Box

    It’s basically a Saginaw box. Easy rebuild IMO if you have prior experience or are comfortable learning. Kits should be available through the usual distributors. Make sure the kit comes with seals and bearings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CNC Mill test project (Fusion 360 Pattern)

    I'm finally getting around to taking CNC mill classes at the local shop. Next week I have the opportunity to run the mill on a test pattern in aluminum or mild steel. Curious if there are any developed Fusion 360 patterns for some small interesting parts on the HMMWV platform. Nothing...

    Bogert jack, storage location??

    Old thread alert. M1151a1. Looked at TM9-2320-387-10 and did not see the Bogert jack referenced anywhere in the load out instructions. I'll likely strap it down in the rear cargo area. I do not as yet have the rear partition in place so will take some care to ensure that this heavy gear does...
