    Humvee Run Flat tyres removal

    Look for four numbers in an oval imprinted on the tire, should be near the rim if I remember right.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    If you were feeling creative, you might shuck all the plastic off one of these (Harbor Freight), and work out some way to mount it. If you watch the sales you might be able to get it down around $100 or so. Maybe not for heavy duty use, but it should be able to air up a tire or two.

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    From what I remember the German ones are the best.

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    I noticed that on the amazon page I linked, scroll down a bit, and a 24v one is displayed under "related products". Not saying this is the correct one as I haven't researched the 24v one. They don't seem to fail often, but when it does you're pretty much stuck.

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    The M1009 is a 12v system (and I was careful to mention that), and yes it is not correct for the HMMWV, but might give one a starting place for their research.

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    When I researched the solenoid for my M1009 break-down, this was the one that everyone recommended.

    This is what it looks like in the M1009 with a 6.2 NA:

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    It's not on, it's in; under a cover. I had one fail in my M1009 when I was 30 mins from the house, and cost me $400 or so to have it towed. Mine had anti-tamper torx screws on the cover, but not all of the M1009s did so you might take a look. There is no good work-around if it fails in...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    Does the 12V line "need" something as stout as a battery cutoff switch, or would a good military grade toggle switch do the job?

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    If you want to be safe for this aspect, go to harbor freight and buy a few cheap wrenches and plastidip or insulate them some other way, then keep those wrenches in the battery box. Nothing in there is so tight that you'd ever break a cheap wrench.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The GEP18002668 plugs went in today after yesterday's no-start. The left (easy) side was low drama with only one slightly swollen. Right side was a nightmare. The first one (working rear to front from the doghouse) was ugly. I couldn't pull it out and it was looking like I was going to need...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Woke up at 4:30 to go to work with about 4" of snow on the ground and nothing plowed. Took the Grand Cherokee which is very good in snow due to electronic locking diffs and traction control, plus four new Mickey Thomson BajaBoss AT tires. We got off early because the snow kept falling - that's...

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    I gave up on VT. Despite demanding my email and phone number, they don't actually use it. I used the info on their website to calculate the fees and waited five weeks. Then I got EVERYTHING back in the mail with a letter telling me I didn't include enough money. Rewrote the check and...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Be very cautious on facebook (and everywhere else really) when browsing HMMWV parts as there are almost as many thieves as there are legitimate sellers. If you don't know how to do an image search read up on it, as many of the thieves are using photos from Seco ad other legitimate sellers in...

    M11XX series, remove snout/rebuild front

    I like the classic look as well, but it will be far less money and effort if you put a brush guard on the truck- with the brush guard the snout is not very noticeable. I just saved you thou$and$. :driver:

    Battery cutoff using Nato slave plug

    Curious how something rated for 200 amps would be dangerous to complete the ground circuit as the OP describes. Not something I would do because I want the jump-start option available, but I appreciate any free education offered.

    Cannon Plugs

    Good find. My complaint about no pictures is because I need the opposite connector from the one in my picture, and I want to be sure of what I'm buying.
