Hi
This I know is not new but I installed a disconnect switch today in my 1991 Humvee. I removed the slave connector from the passenger seat base along with its cables. Then using the connectors mounting holes made and mounted a plate to cover the hole and then drilled out the center to except...
HI
I have my antenna for a 2 meter radio mounted on a military antenna mount on the rear. The SWR is somewhat high and I wonder If It would be better if I mounted it on the side about in the middle. Also is there a special mount that is used in this location?
Thanks
Ken
Hi
There are a ton of new jerry cans out there, I need to know which ones will fit the standard military holder. I'm afraid to buy a used vintage one off Ebay because of rust . I got one that the only way it would fit was to pound in the bottom corners so it would fit down to the bottom...
Good day everyone. Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I have added a trailer hitch and electrical connector to pull are camping trailer but seeing the Humvee is 24 V and the trailer is 12v I'm not sure how to do this. I can't see running each wire through the converter to change to 12V or...
Good day everyone and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
I have mounted a trailer hitch and a connector so I can pull our 1959 Streamline trailer. My question is seeing that the Humvee is 24 volts and the trailer is 12 volts I'm not sure how to wire this.
I can't see running each wire...
Hi
I'm not sure if this has come up but a company named (Adventure Accessories) has a steering wheel adapter for the Humvee. I have a 91 Humvee and I got this adapter the other day. It fits and is about $55.00. It's 2 and 5/8" in dia. and 5/8" thick. It has a bolt circle of 1 and 3/4" Dia...
Good day
Does anyone know what the thead size is for the two theaded holes which are used for pulling the steering wheel. I think it is an M6 but it seems loose and I don't want to strip them out trying to pull the wheel.
Thanks

Good day
Can anyone tell me if the mounting for a 1991 Humvee steering wheel is different then for a 1993. I know the 91 has a splined shaft.
Thanks for the help

Hi
I have installed a 2 meter radio in my Humvee which has a soft top. My problem is with high SWR (over 3,0). Using RG213 around 20 ft. and have checked continuity and shorts. Antenna is a 5/8 wave firestix and is mounted on rear using military mount.
Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

I know that this has come up before but if I may. I have a 1991 humvee non turbo that is blowing white smoke. We live about 1.5 miles of the highway and it dosn't blow smoke until I get on the highway at speed. This will last even after she warms up and will take about 20 more miles before she...
Good day
When I start my 1991 it seems that the glow plugs (if that is what is happening) cycle on and off for to long (several minutes) with the volt meter going from the red to the yellow and last night when they finally stopped cycling the volt meter stayed down in the red slowly dropping...
Hi Guys
Plan on adding a battery disconnect switch and wondering if it is necessary to use the size cable that is used on the batteries.
I my be wrong but it seems like overkill to me but I'm willing to learn.

Hi
My batteries are being drained just sitting for a couple of days. I noticed that when I take off the negative terminal and touch it to the post I get a spark. I would assume that this is indicating that something is drawing current. This is with everything shut off. Is there something that I...
HI
I'm installing a 2 Meter radio in my Humvee and I wonder if it is ok to run power straight from one of the batteries or if I should get a 24 to12 volt inverter.
Thanks
Ken
OK
I have a 1991 Humvee and yesterday I tried to start her and all I got was a starter selenoid chatter.So I checked the batts and they were dead. Charged them overnight and the same thing just chatter.
So that's why I'm here looking for advice as to what to check.
Ken
Good day
I have a 1991 with a 6.2. Recently after starting her up and for several minutes it sounds like a relay is cycling on and off in the area of the starter switch. As it does the volt gauge drops and then goes up somewhat as the relay cycles off. Eventually it stops cycling and the volt...
Hi
Thinking of getting a military speaker for my CB radio for the military look. Does anyone know what the impedance of the speaker is inside or will I have to switch out the speaker.
Thanks for the help.
