    New HMMWV Owners - great older U.S. Army video HMMWV Operation 1991

    Yeah, well, you know those speedometers get changed out with every PM anyway, no telling HOW many miles are on that crate.

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    NOW we're cooking with gas. Picture how many surfboards, sailboards, sailplanes, boats, molds of ****-models body parts (ahem) have been made using simple foam molds, positive-negative. The OP could simply use a well-fitted set of canvas doors for the OD/frame to make a high-density urethane...

    1989 am general humvee need advice

    FWIW, my dos centavos (oder zwei pfennige): I lurked around on this site, g503, the craigslist and ebay boards, GP and elsewhere for about six months before deciding to buy. Locally. I looked at (and bid) for one sight unseen (I was about to pay a guy to drive two hours, inspect the truck for...

    looking for access cover

    Not yet. Bought all the parts I'll need (gaskets, hoses, grommets, extra clamps, pads, etc), just haven't started the project yet, waiting for better weather, drained 5 gallons of fuel with a siphon, finally figured out how I'm going to jack up the rear to get a 5 gallon bucket underneath...

    Anyone have a Mep 802A fU1 FUSE or konow of an equivalent fuse (F03A125V30A) ?

    Take that picture to radio shack and see if they have a standard 1.25" AGC fuse holder. They should. Unless they've sent back stock in preparation for closing. Sometimes you can find these at local auto stores, too. Look for something like this, just use the cap.

    Living with a HMMWV

    I've always been partial to buying broke-d**k cars, motorcycles, guns and refurbing/bringing up to speed and selling - often at a loss, but it's a labor of love, I learn something from each project and move along to the next. 45 years ago it was English Ford Cortinas, a basket case Yamaha twin...

    New HMMWV Owners - great older U.S. Army video HMMWV Operation 1991

    I had these videos tagged on youtube to watch later, just watched them from your link. That was SO reassuring, watching the driver fight with the TC lever in the second video. It's been so long since I'd driven one I was thinking there was something WRONG with mine. Nope. Just a HMMWV.

    Greetings from Russia

    Welcome to the club. Don't know how internet works in Russian Federation, but if you're accessing this site, there are more manuals than you can shake an idiom at. More photos when you can. увидимся PS: don't tell the democrats I was speaking with you.

    Question: where to get a clearer copy of a TM?

    That'll do it. Many many thanks.

    Question: where to get a clearer copy of a TM?

    How does one go about getting a HIGH resolution copy of the TMs with the wiring diagrams? I just got back from kinko's where I was going to print out page 1160 of TM-9-2320-280-20-3 (Unit Maint Book 3) and even enlarged it's nearly impossible to read the numbers on the circuits. Just as...

    Marker lights

    Schematics are in volume 3 of the unit maintenance manuals. Look for the one for your vehicle. Trace grounds, disconnect grounds to brush contacts clean with a small stainless steel or brass brush (like from a gun cleaning kit pull) pull all bulbs and clean connections and treat every one...

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Kudos to TNriverjet, who went above and beyond the call of duty fiduciary or fraternally and sent me another tachometer. [I WILL get one back to you soon's as I figure this out]. I could use some help troubleshooting this, folks. Anyone with some direct experience/knowledge please chime in...

    HMMWV Milemarker Hydraulic winch issue

    I would and I could, but I'd rob you of the pure joy and priceless learning experience of working with the manuals (TMs) to find the parts you're looking for. Took me about an hour including time spent on the evil auction site and several MV parts sellers. Start with TM 9-2320-280-24P-2...

    Says "commercial use." Right there on the paper. Not "private" use. :deadhorse:

    New guy (sort of) from Michigan

    Welcome. You'll find more information here than you can possibly absorb - but feel free to look around, soak up as much as you can and ask questions. Thinking about buying a trailer myself. Keep us posted with progress/mods, pictures if possible.
