    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Well using the drain valve pretty much insures that you have the best chance of not poisoning the environment, if of course you follow through and dispose of it correctly, or even give a rats behind about that kind of stuff.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    There is a real handy drain valve on the lower radiator hose, if you use reasonable care you will lose nothing and not be in a rush to get them swapped.

    How long should it take a humvee to warm up?

    CAMO will likely chime in with the numbers, he is the keeper of the numbers. Does the thermostat housing feel hot? do you have a Chicom infrared temp gauge? If your HMMWV is truly running too cold you have a one in a half million truck! I suspect the sensor numbers are OK and the gauge is faulty

    VIN verification and the titling saga...

    Went down to the CAT scales today, rolled the FAV off the trailer and onto the scales, since it weighs less than 2000lb the CAT scale would not print a ticket. Of course there is more than one way to skin a cat,, So we weighed the truck/trailer empty and then with the FAV on it, the FAV weighs...

    M998 HMMWV - V Belt part numbers?

    If you order three belts from an auto parts store they will NOT be matched even if the same brand etc., the best method I have found is to cross to a number that is stocked in a large chain and drive from one store to the next, write down every batch number/date code until you find three that...

    M998 Alternator Question

    That power comes from the EESS or PCB box. All this is pretty clear on the schematics There is a relay in the box that powers the wire #5 that excites the alt. EDIT, #568 is only used on the 60A.

    You could put a small brass washer on top of each contact

    AC blows hot for a minute

    I would not sweat it if it only blows hot for a minuet, and even in TX I have never had to throttle the heat, when it is cold enough for heat I need all the minuscule amount of heat the HMMWV will give.

    VIN verification and the titling saga...

    GOOD NEWS! I got a call this morning from DMV that I would need a weight ticket. New tires should be delivered today for my 18' trailer which will be easier to load and costs less than the other gooseneck trailer to tow., even less because I can tow it behind my 1/2 ton. I was looking and two of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It normally is bad contacts where the windshield contacts the cowling. since you have no top it is easy to fold down the windshield and clean them

    Headlight Issue

    If you look on the other side of the headlight shell you may see where you transposed the wires on that side.

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    Well that is certainly possible, it would explain why the voltage was not dropping as much as I expected. Glad you got her going!

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    The last time it ran,,, was there anything unusual about the way it ran or when it was shut off? I would say 25V at the starter would be pretty good, in fact maybe too good like the starter is not loaded as you would expect, of course as Coug pointed out do a voltage drop on the negative side...

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    The "shimming" is also not an issue, when there is an interference issue on a GM starter the bendix will tend to not retract. There is a large solenoid shoving the bendix into the flex plate but only a spring pulling it back, that is what gives the awful screeching on an improperly shimmed GM...

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    That amount of engagement is perfectly normal, would be very difficult to install the flex plate backwards.

    Humvee Starter / Flexplate Teeth

    Or possibly a bad starter but I would look at everything else really close
