    M1165 issues

    If I recall correctly, mine were pretty damn tight and I think I used some lube on the screws. In all honesty you might wanna try just forcing them. :unsure:

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The wiring is already there, just need to swap out the connectors. There is a mounting plate but it needed to move forward slightly to fit the IR light. So I had to drill some new holes in the hood. Honestly it wasnt super elegant, and there was probably a better way. But my hood is pretty...

    M1165 issues

    Could always measure the ID of the threads with dial calipers. I also would be hesitant to use a tap. If they are distorted lock threads you will damage that.

    M1165 issues

    My formerly armored m1151 uses standard hinge bolts for all 4 positions. I got the bolts from MAC Motors. I believe those threaded holes are not used when the armored doors are installed, so there might be some corrosion getting in your way. Maybe try cleaning them out with some pentrating oil...

    M1165 issues

    Hmm, the hinge bolts should work. There are 16 positions on the truck, have you tried others? Where did you get the hinge bolts?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Installed new headlights, and swapped the blackout driving light for an IR light

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    Well I got my Amazon specials installed today. They fit better than the Truck-Lites, they are brighter, and they look nicer (in my opinion of course).

    Truck-lite is an importer by the way: https://www.exportgenius.in/truck-lite-importer-in-usa

    Voltage Issue With Head Lights

    Trucklight and JW Speaker have different designs than this. I avoided both based on reviews and research. Just curious, where was your phone made? Edit: my current headlights are mil issued trucklights, plus I have a spare. All three have intermittant issues with flickering on high beam

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    It should be pretty simple. Output of the TDM is 2 wires, one should be ground and the other should toggle between 0 and 24v to control the cadillac valve. If you interupt the latter wire it should make the fan turn on. Or inject 24v to make it turn off.

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    That would work, but would still be susceptible to a TDM failure.

    The only people we can trust with our secrets is the Taliban and Ukraine, not us lowly citizens. 😐

    Might have some ITAR issues sharing this publicly. But I'm also interested 😁

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    Switches, sensors, valves, etc, can all fail in either the open or closed position. There is no guarantee that a failure will result in the fan being on. The system was designed such that the most LIKELY failure results in the fan being on. Edit: think of it like air brakes on a semi truck. If...

    Oooo. I might buy these. Edit: ordered 😎

    Waterproofing 1165 top

    My front x doors seal pretty well on my m1151, but my rear doors do not, especially in the top rear corner. I fought with adjusting them for days, and got it slightly better, but they still arent tight in that corner. It sounds like I'm not alone.

    Radiator Fan ....... "turn off" Switch

    If power is applied to the cadillac valve, the fan will be disabled.

    AM General to make JLTV'S now

    Wonder how this will affect HMMWV production/parts availability? https://www.defensenews.com/industry/2023/02/10/am-general-unseats-oshkosh-to-build-joint-light-tactical-vehicle/

    '97 M1097a2 4L80e is bad. Need advice - DIY rebuild or junkyard swap?

    What is the tranmission actually doing? What are the symptoms?
