    Humvee will not start

    Very basic but recheck all battery cables as per the chart in the battery box. Failing that test for power directly under vehicle on starter positive while someone turns ignition to start.

    Fiberglass X Doors

    I can’t say scam or not but he has grammar, diction and spelling errors consistent with a Nigerian scammer - or a 74 year old dude with a flipfone.

    Fiberglass X Doors

    If you're in Indiana, and the seller refuses in person cash pickup to a guy only a few hours away, it reeks of a scam.

    CSX train v. M109 Paladin (video too)

    Video of the collision at the link. https://www.foxnews.com/us/train-collides-military-mobile-artillery-vehicle-being-hauled-semi-truck

    No blinkers

    Make sure to get proper milspec switch and not the look alike Chinese lever version (cover plate screws usually not painted is the telltale) or even worse the push button version.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Decided to test out the new air compressor today (install pics here). So I went up Buffalo Pass to the Fish Creek Reservoir, which is 9800' elevation abd about 16 miles up an off-road trail. I aired the tires down to 19 psi at the trailhead and I absolutely flew up the mountain. I was taking...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thanks. The compressor is an Extreme Outback ExtremeAire High Output compressor, but it's milsurp. I bought one of these refueling units on ebay to source the compressor: Since the compressor came in a pair, I bought a second bracket too as I had intended to put the second setup in my...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished up the air compressor. Compressor is mounted on the bracket in the engine compartment. After the photo was taken the waterproof relay and circuit breaker got a healthy dose of RTV to further waterproof. Output hose is routed to a 3 gallon tank which fits perfectly in the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It's a messy dirty annual job, but the truck needs to be greased. It's easier when you have a buddy who has the same truck you do.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Didn't see any of the concerts or frankly do all that much in Sturgis other than get a three hole change on the Road Glide. Instead I rode the Black Hills, Needles Highway, Mt. Rushmore, Custer, then hit Devil's Tower to the Little Bighorn National Monument up in Montana on the way back. 1600...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I just got back today, great event. But I took my two wheeled ride and the HMMWV ;),

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Round 2 of air compressor install. Installed bracket in engine compartment together with fabricated rubber rock/dirt guard to keep it clean. It required drilling a pair of holes in the tub for the support bracket, which I was very nervous about. A small pilot hole, followed by a small...

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    Never noticed that. Interesting. I thought the M1151A1 was 12K like the 1165A1. ETA: This flyer indicates 12K, so I have no idea why that truck has the 15K number on it? RKIs please weigh in, I am really curious. https://amgeneral.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/M1151.pdf

    "Rod Hall" GMV Suspension

    Do you mean the standard REV B M1165A1 and 1151A? I think they are the same.

    Civilian grease alternative to GAA?

    Like the title says. I'd like to find a good, easily sourced alternative to the GAA/G403 stuff I used last time I greased the vehicles. The real thing was quite expensive and is difficult to find. I'm going to hit all lube points on both trucks but would like something to use in place of GAA...
