Is there a diagnostic chart in a TM for the ECV style AC system? Specifically the rear AC units like in the 1165 or 1151? The rear unit doesn’t work at all, and the fan for the front unit blows air but not cold air. Lastly, do these units use common enough parts where any old auto shop...

My top right doghouse clip doesn’t work and never has. I’ve fixed it and jimmy’d it and replaced the spring clip think but it just doesn’t work. It’s like it’s a half inch short or something? What gives? Is there some super secret secret to getting it to work? Any suggestions other than the...

I know many of your cringe at the thought, but still. For those of you who have painted a truck in bedliner: - what brand did you use? - how much material did you use? - did you do a hard top and/or doors too? - did you do inside as well? Again how much material etc. - what prep did you do to...

I cannot weld aluminum, so I called around to a few shops. One of the shops that can, thought that the Humvee had magnesium in the alloy? I have no idea- what’s the alloy they used on the body? I’m talking about the body itself and the top on my 1165. Anything else special I should know...

Does anyone know who makes the tail lights with an integrated reverse light? And how it’s wired/switched on? I’m looking for those, or some kind of 1.25” round light that will fit in the hole where the antenna mount normally is.

A lot of the bolts on my truck are rusted. I was going to replace them before painting with either Hot dipped galvanized or the shiny zinc. I know painting over galvanized is tricky, but what’s the best primer or pre-treatment?? some humvee frames Are galvanized so the military must have a...

I got my truck over the weekend. It’s been raining and all four seats are soaked. I wasn’t expecting it to be 100% dry but I was expecting it to be somewhat dry! anyone have any ideas? Can you use seam sealer around the turret? What about filling gaps at the rear corners? Better drip edge...

I search the forums and surprisingly didn’t find much discussion on aftermarket tires. I’d love some input on brands, tread wear, weight ratings, on/off road performance etc. I am looking for a 38-40” tire. Preferably something with a higher load rating and something that will wear like...

I’ve read a lot of contradicting opinions on the stock 2 piece wheels. Some say they ride terrible others they are fine. What gives? If they are balanced why wouldn’t they ride smooth? they definitely limit tire options. I am interested in 40s and can only find one tire that a 16.5”...

Just as the title say, what should I expect from a running and “complete” auction truck? I never considered the auctions because the prices have been so high these past few years but, they have really come down now. How many minor problems to repair, missing things, etc. what’s the...

Anyone have a list of companies that rebuid and sell humvees? i know if west Kentucky surplus, Midwest military equipment plan b black dog customs custom combat trucks used to do them but I think their owner passed away and their website is down. Are there any others?

Not humvee related but I figured y'all would know about the VT loophole. My father in law gave me his boat trailer. Title is lost but we have all the other docs, including the old plate. NY DMV made us jump through hoops of red tape and we did it all, but I still haven't heard back in...

How else would it remain in 4 wheel drive all the time and not ruin road performance? I know every truck I've ever had, when in 4x4, can't turn for snot on pavement or gravel.

Is there a comprehensive list of features that goes with each Humvee model number? M998 v. 1165 A1, A2 etc? As I'm search gov planet there's a lot more variables than I ever knew. Certain options I likely don't need but others would be nice to have. Some I may avoid due to increase...
