If you've done work to the brakes, there is always the possibility that the brake lines got bent and are rubbing on the outside of the brake rotor. Also, check to make sure the brackets that hold the calipers don't have loose bolts holding the bracket to the differrential (I've had it happen on...

Lever has to be in "stop light" or "service drive" for brake lights and signals to work. If your signals work, then it's in the right position for the brake lights to work.

I just went through their site. Lots of great products, but also a lot of them are kind of spendy. I didn't see anything that would function the same as what I did above, but it's a great resource for other types of setups.

So I posted this over in the HMMWV page in the " What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately " thread, but it's probably more fitting for it to be in here as it's radio related equipment. I wanted to be able to use a GMRS radio in the HMMWV while moving, as I do off road driving and sometimes...

To add to the above, here is where everything goes without having to figure out the wiring diagrams for yourself: Side note, the H250 handset is noise cancelling or something like that (it's just not very loud when speaking into it, but I've heard it said other places it's "noise cancelling")...

So when I go out wheeling with a group I use a GMRS walkie talkie. Problem is, the truck is so loud I can't really hear when other people are talking, or at least not clearly. I didn't see anything obvious in the radio section and web search didn't show a whole lot specific to what I was...

A wheel/tire/runflat should be in the 150-160 lb range, and without the runflat should be in the 120-130 lbs range. If your tire assemblies really weigh as much as you say, they must be filled with ballast of some sort. 225 or 350 sounds more like pairs of tires than singles for the HMMWV.

24V has half the amps. My 12k lb milemarker electric is rated for 185 amps on 24V at full load. The 12V version is 370 amps. On a 12V system, especially if it's a single battery, you're going to be drawing it down quite a bit on a longer pull, and the more the voltage drops, the higher the...

Ground disconnect if you are killing all power to the vehicle. Hot side disconnect if you are using it as a power switch for the item, same as any other hot electrical circuit you want to turn off. For my winch I put a breaker on the hot side. Some people say yes, others say no when it...

It's the same part number for both 12 bolt and 24 bolt versions according to the manual.

Close to the steering wheel. I have short legs.

if it's getting power while turned off, then either something is wired incorrectly, the switch is failed, or some other component in the electrical is failed. About all you can do is use a multimeter on the wiring to try to figure out where the power for it to run when the switch is off is...

The boot is there to keep dust and grit away from the piston. The part that actually seals should be a gasket/O-ring inside the caliper piston area. It probably won't leak for now, but it should be rebuilt with a new dust boot to keep crap from getting in there and scoring the piston.

It does get a little warm. I was licensed to haul hazmat/ammo in the army so explosives near me don't worry me that much.

I'd love a rear winch, but between the Federal Military parts rear 2" receiver and associated braces, and not wanting to lose any ground clearance (I already lost departure angle due to the hitch) I doubt I will ever install one. I've only ever used my front winch to recover other people, never...

If it doesn't look like the image above, then it might be an end user modification, in which case find whatever bolt fits and has a smooth head on it and go from there.

It's more about the internal brake heating up than it is the duty cycle, as with no load it isn't really going to be making a lot of heat from the wiring so much as overriding the brake friction. I've seen several winches that were operated in reverse orientation so when pulling in the line they...

nah, takes too long and lets out too much of the magic smoke if done for too long.

For balancing a 24V bank of 2 12V batteries, I'd recommend the balancer from Victron. All it really does is place a slight load on whichever battery is higher voltage in order to balance them out. It only does up to 1 amp, so you can't use it to draw 12V loads off of one battery and still have...

There is a fuel tank vent that comes up near the air filter intake. It's just a hose with what looks like a fuel filter sitting on the end of it. If the fuel tank vent gets plugged it could possibly cause that.
