https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/News/Article/2549126/hmmwv-dont-overfill-fuel-tank/ I just seen this article and find it pretty strange. So, we should only be filling up to 3/4 of a tank? I had filled mines up last week and notice a small leak from the top, I thought my tank was possibly be...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/202148957760?epid=252098858&hash=item2f11044e40:g:pCQAAOSwsYpaNAy9 I been seeing these 4l80e 6 speed around, has anyone ever put one of these in the humvee? Seems like it should be a simple bolt in if you already have a 4l80e humvee, and you're like me & perfectly fine...
Today when I was at the store, for some odd reason when I went to turn it on, the starter just made a spinning noise or it made some kind of odd noise, it didn't even crank the engine, it sounds as if it was detached from the flywheel. This is my first time having this issue in the deuce, I had...
I seen this bed top before on Eastern Surplus and thought it was a pretty nice alternative to the soft top while not also weighing a lot. It seems like something that can be fabricated as well. The other good part is you keep your bed and still have more space than putting a container of some...
From the information I gathered, both of these fluids can be used in the 4l80e but GM recommends the ATF 6, I heard that the ATF 6 is a thinner fluid which can give it a better chance of leaking, which is why I'm asking this question. This is at least my 4th time having a leak with the ATF 6...
Does anyone have any tips on putting these back on or is there some special sticker I can use for masking off the areas where I can easily paint it back?
I know its crazy, but I like the original look with the all the numbers & such, mines is faded very badly
Does anyone know if the humvee generator is able to charge another battery besides the starting battery? I'm about to put together my solar battery bank on the humvee and was wondering would it be possible to also wire the battery to the generator and have it charged that way. I do not want to...
I just ran across this on youtube
Does anyone else have a similar story of the brakes failing with them on their deuce? I know all it takes is one airline to be cut
I was servicing my air filter and cleaning out the housing and notice this rubber piece there. I don't know where it fell from but I just saw it sitting underneath the housing
I had ran across this video a few months ago and thought it was a good upgrade but is this really a good idea to change out for a less restrictive air filter and modify that piece on the snorkel? I'm planning on going through this soon and making sure everything is sealed up properly and maybe...
I have 8 of these tires and I want to move them from where they are since they're taking up space, but the one problem with them is the weight. These things are next to impossible to lift up with the wheel and runflat inserted, are these tires manageable to lift up so I can roll them if I take...
I'm planning on putting together a small solar battery bank in my humvee, but I'm unsure on what batteries I'm going to use. I have 2 6TL batteries that's been sitting around for months which Im thinking of recharging, but how much capacity does these have over the 12v 1,000 CCA batteries I can...
I'm finally getting around to installing my x doors. I got one question, is it normal that the doors can be pulled open even when its completely latched in place? I have a plate and about 3 washers in place to make the latch stick out further to grab on to the stryker.
I finally gotten to actually cleaning out some stuff on the inside and found these 120v outlets in the back. Were these forgotten inside? I notice the wires are cut. Does anyone know what these were originally used for and do anyone have the wiring diagram to this or original picture of this? My...
I'm kind of curious if anyone has any pictures of what the communication/shelter tops look inside before they are demil. In mines there's a bunch of wooden structures like there was things mounted on them. I notice some of these have what look like generators or AC units mounted on them
Yes, I...
Has anyone ever gone with putting an AC kit from the ECV humvees on the M1123? I know there's quite a few humvees with the red dot AC, but I hate the big bulky condenser having to be mounted on the outside and the evaporator on the inside is way too bulky and take a ton of cargo space. I seen on...
I had a bad generator on my humvee that was making a loud metal clacking noise that wasn't charging either, so I replaced it with a new generator plus regulator but even after changing it out, my RPM gauge & speedo still not working, plus my gauge has the batteries in the yellow not getting any...
Does anyone know where I can get the internal wiring harness that doesn't have the green piece inside? The female end on the outside already has the green piece but with my newer harness, the green piece is on the male end as well so I cannot connect the two.
Image attached is the green piece...
