I am not trying to offend anybody but I can barely justify making these to fit the 280,000 HMMWVs out there and bench seats on the CUCVs were about 5% as many as that. If I can see a market to sell 50+ in the next year I will invest the $2K to tool up, but outside of that I will be sitting on...
Right now we are trying to justify tooling up to make these. I can tell you that we will not be able to offer several styles and colors at the volume we anticipate. We might do CAMO and CARC Tan and maybe Olive too but it all depends on the interest.
They need to be smaller to fit the...
OK so this is a commander high back HMMWV seat with the larger old style cover we had made. I threw a bunch of stuff into the pockets to give some idea of how we chose those pockets at the time. The lower rear pocket fits the official military maintenance binder as shown. The upper fits a...

We made them for an aftermarket seat we had bought in bulk for a bunch of our local guys and us a few years ago which was a bit larger than the commander/high back seats. So it was a little too large but still worked on the commander seats. The next batch will be smaller to fit a little...
I have a single cover I saved from the old ones but the new ones will be tighter fitting. I will see if I can find it and an high back seat to put it on ;)
Guys we are gauging interest in special forces style seat covers for high back seats. These are not a direct copy at all and will likely be less for clips and such and more for more civilian type accessories. They will have open pockets, zippered ones and velcro openings on the backs and on...

So my trucks and cars for that matter all have supplemental heating. I live and work at 7000+ feet in Northern Utah. For HMMWVs and CUCVs I like the following:
Engine Oil pan heater mat 500W-1000W
Transmission pan heater mat 500W
Engine coolant recirculating pump heater 1000W (KATS and others...
Hey guys, we have started a blog with tech articles for HUMVEE AND CUCV 6.2 and 6.5 engines trucks. Our fist article is up now. We are looking to add these at least monthly. Hope these help out a few folks!

I can drive in 3' of snow. Of course is it Utah snow and not that heavy stuff you guys back east get. I run dual heaters (front and back) and can basically turn winter to summer in 5 mins ;)
You will need to call me and get a couple of parts. The turbo kits are sightly different and have a lower block plate design and a hard 90 deg at the plate to clear the before mentioned bracket. We keep them in stock for just what you are doing.
Separate question for my customers now. We had a customer with a 6.5T HMMWV that had some clearance issues with the wastegate actuator bracket on the passenger side being too close to the block plate fitting. We have installed three in our shop without issue so we are assuming his might have...
A lot of comments here. Simply put the statements about overall system temp not significantly changing are absolutely correct. There is however an efficiency improvement due to the fact that the front two cylinders are overcooled which reduces power in diesels. The rears are overheated which...
It was discussed that using IR external temps is the least conclusive temperature testing as it is influenced more by underhood temps than internal block temps. Direct contact sensing is the only way to really properly see what is happening. The fact that the fan comes on less and with less...
