    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    Yea, I don't know how it didn't get set off, the explosion must've been huge when it happened. One of the posts on the building took a huge hit

    Batteries Blew Up & Caused A Fire

    I had a battery maintainer hooked up to keep the batteries charged up and this cause the batteries to blow up and start a huge fire, from the looks of it, it damaged the side of the storage building, melted a lot of the rear tire up, and the truck took some damage to the tarp and window. I'm...

    Barely Turn Right With MRAP wheels & Super Singles

    I'm going to look a bit more at it, I believe my pitman arm wasn't pushed far enough on the steering box, I grinded the little edge piece on the steering box to push the arm farther back on the splines but I didn't take the truck out for a test drive yet to see if it made a difference, from just...

    M35A3 power and speeds mods?

    Its not too bad for a daily depending on where you use it and how big the parking/streets are in your city and the tire wear isn't too bad depending on which tires you go with either. Personally, if I was to get one to specifically daily I would inspect everything on the truck thoroughly before...

    M35A3 power and speeds mods?

    The A3 Allison doesn't have a overdrive, from what I heard they cruise at 45-50mph. The A2 deuce has a 5 speed :85 overdrive transmission. They cruise at 45-48mph as well, but you can go with a bigger tire size to up the cruising speed to 55-58mph. I have the 395 46in tires on my A2 and it would...

    Barely Turn Right With MRAP wheels & Super Singles

    Title pretty much says it, I finally got my MRAP wheels and 395s on the M35, I love the tires and the ability to cruise 55mph easily but the radius on my right turn is very big. The tires rub on the pitman arm/drag link castle nut when trying to take any sort of hard right. I have the waterloo...

    M35a2 Bed Roll Cage Extenders

    I'm thinking about extending the height of the rails so I can walk freely in the bed without being crunched over. I would also like to put taller palletized items in the back without it being such a tight fit. The height of it from the floor to roll cage is 5ft, I would like to extend it to...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    M1152 fan issue

    In my opinion, ditch the whole system and go for the viscious fan clutch, best upgrade I ever did, no hydrualics, TDMs, or Cadillac valves to worry about. You may want to check your Temperature Sensor, TDM, & Cadillac valve, I kept having these go out which made the fan stay on, here's a good...

    Highway Cruising Speed

    I'll put my flashers on it to be honest, I do this in the M35a2 all the time on fast highways where it can become a hazzard

    Highway Cruising Speed

    Just curious on what you guys cruising speeds are in the humvee and in which model? My 2002 M1123 best cruising speed is 2,300 RPMs at 60Mph, I have the blocky radio communication top so it's a bit of a drag on it, but either way I feel the 6.5 is very comfortable at 2,300 RPMs and still have a...

    First time Humvee owner, lifetime admirer w/ a Q...

    I would like to add if your generator still isn't charging, the clutch pulley is another thing to look at before replacing the generator, I've had 2 of these fail on me in the past. My first time experiencing this, I thought it was the whole generator and ended up replacing the whole thing when...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The 24v rooftop A/C is what I used in the humvee, the one I used in the deuce is pretty much the same thing, but it separates the compressor and condenser. I mounted the condenser on the roof and the compressor in the bed. I will duct the A/C to blow cold air from 4 different areas up front, one...
