    HMMWV electrical help needed

    I'm a v owner but never had that issue. Does your truck have the aux grounding harness? if not you need to make/install one. Have you used a real voltmeter to check what your getting to see if it's a gauge error or an alt issue?

    M818/Cummins Starting Problem

    could also be the relay box. I'd bet thats your issue. test the starter with a manual trigger, if it works fine then your issue is the box.

    HMMWV Early Parking Brake Pics Needed

    I did save them for a while but have since sold all of that stuff. 750 or 850 isnt such a bad price when you consider all of what your getting. if you consider that you will be getting new brake calipers, new cables, new rod, many assorted brackets. it's not a bad deal and you will be getting...

    HMMWV Early Parking Brake Pics Needed

    Dash panel light ideas

    when the hmmwv's dash gets led's at the factory the lens covers are a very light shade of green. anything darker and they can't be seen. Led's aren't necessarily brighter they are just clearer.

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    This is exactly what I meant. the 939 and 939A1 has the 250. the A2's have the baby cummins which is already turbo'd. You should even have enough room for the jakes without any issues.

    wrecker 816 vs 936 whitch is better

    I was told by an operator of the older 936 and 936A1 wreckers that they don't have enough power(torque) to drive over a set of chocks. This is a huge problem when trying to reverse and you can't use low range. I'd stick with the 816 or 819 :drool::drool::drool:. Much simpler and easier to...
