    Help Identifying Bumper

    Does not look like it, the FMTV series has round holes for the headlights, this one looks like it possibly had rectangle headlights but I have never seen a US military vehicle with those type of headlights.

    Holy hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    I am a little confused, if it does not use any power after it opens how does it know to close when the power is removed?, also the run power is present during cranking otherwise the engine would not start.

    Purchased a 2006 Humvee M1097R1 - Need Help

    Welcome to the SS forums, take Coug's advice and start a thread and give as much detail as possible.

    HMMWV Generator / Alternator substitute

    You should wait until you actually have a HMMWV before trying to re-invent the wheel, it is quite possible the HMMWV you actually buy will have a perfectly good working alt. There will be enough things you have never thought of that will keep you plenty busy without playing the "what if" game.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I don't think that is a smart start box, IIRC that is a really old box, its days were numbered.

    Lytle

    I took my sisters Kubota UTV 1140 that I did a top end job and a ton of maint. back to her ranch near Concan today and stopped by Lytle and picked up a few ammo cans on the way home, they only had 3 HMMWVs on hand all lowly R1s, the tan one has a rebuild motor and the steering is a little wonky...

    Holy hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    You will need a 5 point security torx drive bit to remove the screws, I usually set the bit in the screws and tap on them with a small hammer to help break the screws loose.

    It is an o ring and can usually be reused.

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    Just like your wheel lug nuts these should ALWAYS be torqued with a good torque wrench to specifications. Initial 85ftlb then 125ftlb

    3 x geared hubs leaking

    I think you are on the right track. Checking the levels would be a good start.

    Rebuilding FAV #91

    PLEASE plug those holes in the engine, a nut/washer or any other foreign material gets in there the engine could be toast!!

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    LEDs are run by a power supply built into the housing, there certainly is no guarantee that the power supply is/was designed for multiple voltages. Your clue was they fried as soon as you put 24V on them, the moisture which may very well not be water could have been released from the components...

    M998 AC install

    I got the DuraVee back in the shop today and started to make hoses, cutting the holes and installing the bulkhead pass-through was a PITA, my arms are just not nearly long enough to work both sides of the bulkhead, but we goterdone! Plenty of foot room for the passenger.
