    AC help , which TM? Oil from rear evaporator m1165

    Doh, you are right. Those are the 2001 version. I'll look around to see where I actually downloaded the 2009 version from.

    AC help , which TM? Oil from rear evaporator m1165

    There are only two series of HMMWV manuals, one for the first 3 generations (The M998 through M998A2 and variants) and one for the ECV/REV models. Then they update the manual over time. So the manual for the M1114 was updated several times to include the newer models. You need the 30 June 2009...

    Icy Roads

    My chains came from a buddy that was still active duty and had access to the turn in area where stuff went before it was disposed of. Looks like all the regular vendors for HMMWV parts don't have any in stock. The closest to what the military ones look like are probably these. They don't have...

    Icy Roads

    So far I've only used the military HMMWV snow chains on my truck. They did a good job on ice covered snow, but I imagine there are better options out there. One of these years I plan to finally buy a second set of tires and get studs installed into them for winter driving and off road...

    2000 HMMWV M1123 Project

    I'd say you're definitely above what can be sustainably handled by the 12V tap on the regulator. The Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter can be run with up to 5 units in parallel and have a built in relay that just needs wired to a switched power source or a regular switch to turn it on/off. Sounds...

    Heavy white smoke cold start

    Either failing glow plugs or some of them aren't getting power to them, which is more likely a harness issue than box issue. Just because they were replaced doesn't mean they are good. I've seen people install brand new parts and they failed the next day. There are also a lot of cheap glow...

    Soft top install

    Soapy water to make it more slippery also helps for installing it into the channel.

    Questions I have, can you help

    No idea why the auction company does some of the stupid stuff they do, or if it was the last unit that had the trucks before turning them in stealing parts and leaving the ruined ones in the trucks. Removing belt to take parts from the system would be logical. Cutting/removing for theft...

    Hmmwv 12 Volt Conversion

    Simplest method if using a 24-12 step down converter is the Orion 70 amp by Victron. It has a built in relay that just requires a 24V signal to turn it on and off. The fan circuit is an easy to access circuit for switched power on a 3 speed truck, and a 4 speed can use that or the input signal...

    Humvee audio systems: What have you added / done to your rig ?

    If you are installing a 12v system, then using a converter like the Victron Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter that has a built in relay to it will disable everything if you have the relay wired to a switched power source like the heater fan circuit. Or you can wire in your own relay. A relay...

    RFID Keyless Ignition

    I think you're confusing these with the keyed ignitions. The links above are just RFID enabled circuits that get installed to kill power to the start box if the RFID chip isn't present. You still keep the OEM paddle ignition switch

    Mounting and balancing the tires

    Local Les Schwab had the right balancer for larger tires. Doesn't mean others will though. Centramatic balancers will deal with up to 12 oz of imbalance, without having to make sure that inside of the tire is completely clean and dry like a lot of internal balance products require. So...

    Loss of power. White smoke.

    A few times in the past I've seen where people had issues with the mushroom cap over the intake pip was pressed down too far and caused a restriction. The air filter restriction gauge should tell you if it's something with the air intake or filter, provided the tube going to the gauge from the...

    Rear fender liners wheel well

    There is a plastic guard that protects the aircon condenser on the newer trucks that can be extended forward/rear to cover the entire area, but that's the only liner type guard that I know of. It probably wouldn't be that hard to have something made out of aluminum at your local sheet...

    Power Steering noise and problem

    No specific brand; you just need to make sure that the ATF you use has a DEX III rating on it (most DEX/MERC fluids are DEX III rated, but verify on label) DEX VI is the replacement for DEX III, but that is specifically for automatic transmission applications. In non automatic transmission...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You doing the Auburn parade? I have other commitments tomorrow or I would do it. If you aren't doing anything else Monday, come on down to the Elma Veteran's Day Parade and join that one as well. Even if it's pouring rain we tend to enjoy ourselves (VFW parade entry) More trucks are always...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    No pictures, but finally got around to repairing my speedometer that stopped working after I shifted the transfer case while the engine was running... (gee, maybe that's why the manual says to turn off the engine first???) Broke in June, ordered parts in July, and finally repaired it yesterday...
