    Question: Best batteries to buy for Humvee (yes I did a search before posting this)..

    As a qualified "expert" (in Baltimore county and city court proceedings where I've given paid testimony in years past on motor vehicle injury patterns and physiology and physics of same) and inveterate tinkerer with electronics, mechanics, gardening, plumbing, drywall, painting, and more, I'm...

    Question: Best batteries to buy for Humvee (yes I did a search before posting this)..

    I went with these, one failed in under 16 months, amazon backed the warranty but the price had gone up by 75$ in the meantime. Probably would've done fine with red tops. You'll find all kinds of answers to your question here. First question to ask is why are you replacing yours? (mine were...

    Anyone added a "Mojave" heater to their Humvee ?

    ditto, but I reversed the hoses a couple times. Did this AFTER using two bottles of prestone engine/radiator flush followed by TWO fresh water flushes. Took about a half hour for the heater core to run clear.

    HMMWV injector pump bad or??

    Curious about how you removed the pump. Box ends for top bolts, swivel socket/extension for bottom or did you go with the OTC 6087 wrenches? Inquiring minds, planning ahead and all that. Found a note on the CUCV forum about using a swivel socket; I don’t know what all is mounted on a 6.2L...

    Bad drive shaft?

    This caught my eye so I’ve been reading through the thread. NOT LMTV-related, but close. I’d bought a pair of wheels/tires for my trailer not long ago and finally got around to cleaning and mounting them. Inside of the wheels didn’t look right. Looked like someone had shot paint that was...

    Black Dog Customs Hardtop

    Their website isn't open yet. Been through about all of their posts on fakebook. How much for the basic TOP, and does it require using their B and C pillars? Thanks. Norm

    New Member Question: Red and yellow rear placards

    got 'em in the mail today. Very well packaged, large "manila" envelope, plastic insert with four stickers between two sheets of thin cardboard like the stuff on the back of legal notepads. NOT folded. Thinking about putting a pair on some aluminum sheet for riveting to body instead of laying...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    I watched a version of this back in the early 90s at the 25th ID. I’ve watched it since then, about two years ago when I started contemplating buying a Humvee, started stalking this website and others for information, pros, cons. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll watch this again today. Learning...

    I've had a lot of luck finding bolt size and thread pitch by using NSN-now.com Find the part number in the manual, copy (right click, copy), paste into NSN-now's search window (far right on home page options takes you to the search function), right click, paste, enter. You'll find the part...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    Tragic. No mention of any kids left behind. Guy I knew in HS (name of Healey) rolled his MG midget on a road I happened to be driving by w/ some friends. No roll bar. He’d crawled out the side door. Took four of us to flip the thing over. He was fine. Fortunately no PAX. I used to...

    How I added reverse light switch for my HMMWV

    There's a switch that screws into the side of the shifter next to the neutral safety switch. You can find them on the evil auction site, several other places for around $40 to insane market pricing. Make sure the one you get has the thread adapter on it. Poke around the site, there's a thread...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks promising... inboard or outboard boots? Tried finding those on their website - no joy. Only real plus side to using the website is NOT hearing "year, make and model sir?" NB

    Who has the best priced Cadillac valves?

    I can vouch for Fuzzytoaster. Some of the best deals around. I bought a CV from him for a “spare” - turns out mine went t!ts up and I need to replace it anyway.
