    PNW Info Thread!

    The PNW Overland Rally in Plain, WA finally got their website together and set up for registrations. June 16-19 sites are 20x20 feet in size, any bigger and you have to purchase a second 20x20 site. Looks like prices are reduced for early registration. Early registration discount ends on...

    2022 Pacific NorthWest Rally / FE!

    I'll be bringing myself and possibly one or two of the nieces.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    some shims are slotted, sometimes they aren't. The slotted ones should, in theory, be able to remove by just loosening all the bolts, but not actually removing them. As Action said though, look in the TM for the amount you need to remove (and the procedure should be in the TM for the entire job...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    mine had no problem with doing the toe, but doing anything more it was going to be charged by the hour since this is obviously NOT a standard vehicle. Most likely you will need to do the shims yourself. They should at least be able to give you a printout with how far out of spec camber/caster...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Last week took mine into Les Schwab for an alignment. I started getting nervous when they broke out the oxy acetylene torch. Then the 6 foot cheater bar. They told me they couldn't get it loose, and didn't charge me for the work. Today I crawled under it. 5 minutes with a torch and penetrating...

    Steering system hot even at idle.

    I've worked on other types of hydraulic systems. Getting hot is pretty normal. That's what the cooler's job is anyway, to reduce the hear generated by the pump and moving fluid under pressure. Most hydraulic systems use a large reservoir to allow the oil time to cool before going back through...

    Technical Manual Request

    not likely. That's the generic sticker for all pre 196900 serial number serpentine belt systems whether they have Red Dot aircon or just a pulley blank in that spot. Well, other than the fact that it lists a TM that isn't used for any of the HMMWVs as far as I can tell. The Red Dot aircon...

    Technical Manual Request

    The M1123 you need the TM 9-2320-280-XX manuals to work on it, as it's an A2 truck. The -387 manuals are for the ECV/REV series of truck. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/

    Technical Manual Request

    I don't think there is a -20. I think they went straight to a -24-1 and -24-2 to go with the -24P parts manual. The only 9-2320-387-20 I could find is an MWO, not a TM

    Connector/Breaker in Co-pilot rear seat compartment

    lots of options on how to keep these charged. Personally I like the NO.CO GEN5X2 marine battery charger. Hardwired to each battery; it charges them independently. I was lucky when I bought my plug that someone was selling a couple used ones for pretty cheap. Haven't seen any for sale like...

    Connector/Breaker in Co-pilot rear seat compartment

    It's a circuit breaker. If a wire shorts out, it's supposed to trip before you burn up the whole truck. It's just the wire/breaker through which the transmission control module gets it's power. Without it you're stuck in 2nd gear limp mode.

    Fuel Pump to Fuel Filter Hard line

    I only figured it out doing a word search for "fuel filter" and checking each page that came up until something seemed correct.

    SF97 question

    Unfortunately it takes however long it takes. SF-97s can sometimes take a couple months, but it isn't unheard of for them to take up to a year (not common, but does happen) Not really anything you can do about it, and nothing else you can submit to make it go any faster. I can't comment on...

    Fuel Pump to Fuel Filter Hard line

    Wowser, that's a difficult one to figure out. I am about 90% certain the part you want is referred to as "tube assembly, metal" The reason it's so hard to figure out is it's not with the fuel lift pump or the fuel filter, but it's listed on the fuel injection pump list, as it runs alongside the...

    M1114 Power Steering Pump Replaced and Have Spares!

    the higher pressure unit is supposed to be for the Sheppard steering box, not the standard one you have. It would probably work, but higher pressure would mean higher chance of failure to the steering box as it isn't designed for the extra pressure.

    HMMWV REV truck brakes

    For the Wolfer/Comtac link, they list that as being every part number associated with that particular NSN That's not how the part numbers are supposed to work. Those part numbers listed are all from different manufacturers, meaning that if it is one of those part numbers, it can't also be a...

    No beadlock / run flat PSI

    If it were mine I wouldn't worry about anything over 20psi. That is a lot of force on the tire bead/rim. Even at lower pressure, you aren't just going to lose the tire off the rim without some major outside force. If you aren't always driving onto curbs or major potholes at high speed, then...

    Alternator V-Belts rattling. Should I replace?

    Might want to make sure the rear bracket for the generator that goes to the exhaust stud hasn't sheared off the exhaust stud that it goes to. Mine looked like it was all there and in place, but the stud the bracket goes on sheared off at the block so the nut for the exhaust manifold and the one...
