    Vibration when hit 32 mph

    One of the reasons I bought a set too. Gave up calling around looking for someone who could or would balance my tires. There’s a distinct difference after about 20mph I can feel - smoother - “tracking” is more steady, less shaking into the steering wheel. Not a Cadillac, but smoother. I...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally got around to doing this yesterday. I'd cut the pieces last year, posted about it, put them aside and forgot about it. Well, ignored them. Mostly because I'm not a welder and the welds I was making with a cheapo $120 DC welder from Amazon.con looked like lumps of bondo. Just got up...

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    It’s not the ALTERNATOR he’s asking about, but the REGULATOR. Good question.

    Can I use a Niehoff 400amp regulator on a 200amp alternator?

    If connections are the same, it should work no problem. IF connections are same. 400 A alternator should have similar number of coils/wires/connections. Being more robust it will regulate/filter the output of the smaller alternator just fine. I’m not an IEEE-rated engineer but I did stay at...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    TWO of the S3 rivnuts loosened up when I was changing mine out; from all my years of WECSOG (Wile E. Coyote School Of Gunsmithing) experience, the best way to "fix" that is just take a Dremel cutting wheel to the head of the nut, lop off the sides until the center will drop through the hole...

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    “Clatter.” Is that the ticking noise that sounds like a header gasket leak?

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    Faulty memory. It’s THIS unit: http://www.marvgolden.com/pilot-usa-pa-400st-4-place-stereo-intercom-with-cell-interface.html The headset is this: http://www.marvgolden.com/mg-anr-headset.html You can also find ANR inserts for standard aviation headsets for about half that price if you shop...

    H1 vs HMMWV noise?

    I got a 4-place noise-canceling AVCOM unit from Marv Golden that allows me to plug in my iPhone/iPod and use aviation headsets. Listen to music, handle calls, pretty sweet. Don’t know how legal this is, but I’ve passed a handful of our guys in blue and other than a few waves, no one’s turned...

    New engine, new life

    For diesel engines on the whole that is. But tell me, after reading this, does the question come to your mind as it did mine: how soon will someone make an adapter for this and transplant it in their HMMWV? https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusiasts/ford-ecoblue-20l-technical-wonder/ar-AAwTTtM

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took mine out for a ride now that I’m about 90% certain the power steering hoses are holding, air’s all bled. Stopped by AOR’s place for a few minutes to take a look at his “new” M998. Looks like he got a good deal. I see the “upgrade wantsies” look in his eyes. Gave him a dash light bulb...

    Bench testing a 200 amp alternator

    THIS should help some. Not wiring harness numbers. There is a sheet of standardized circuit/wiring numbers available I can't find on my computer right off hand. May be in the manuals/uploads section, but the military vehicle wiring diagrams are numbered, these relate to power/connection...

    Specifically, which TM's should I go over for PM Services

    Call me lucky. I printed every manual, update, MWO on my work printer (high speed LASER) double sided, something like 5,000 pages altogether. Used a hole punch and Stargate SG1 watching time in the evening (well, 11 to midnight) to put it all in binders over several weeks. I also downloaded...

    Bendix gear

    Last time I looked, the solenoid is available through amazon.com for about $40, new in US Govt issue wrap. I bought a spare. Worth looking, cheap insurance.

    LOOKING FOR X DOORs

    I’ve seen this. I bought a set in Oct/Nov ‘17 (barely 6 months ago), pick of the litter (still need refinishing but intact, complete, no delamination just waiting for warmer weather and a half dozen other projects to get around to it), I paid $1800 for ‘em. At this rate, I may be able to sell...
