The reservoir is most likely on the hydraulic pump itself. Look straight down between the generator and the hose coming off the radiator. You should see a cap right on the pump. That is where you need to add fluid and keep it topped off. I looked and I only have a picture of the pump from...

If you want to replace injectors, I'd recommend looking for the military parts suppliers. MacMotors and KASCAR are two possibilities. I'd stay away from "cheap counterfeit parts". (i.e. ebay) The part numbers will be in the service / parts manuals. Find them on the forums. Once you've...

HMMWV was in the first parade of the year. I was off successfully acquiring COVID in Texas, so someone else was driving. Loaned the vehicle to the American Legion in Elko-New Market Minnesota for their parade. I need to work on the hood (pretty badly cracked) and the paint.. but otherwise...

Lots of places sell parts.. but if you want authentic parts, those are the only two places I trust (for new parts).

Where did you get the hand turn knobs from? Part of some kit, or you source them? Mine has these stupid bolts which drive me nuts every time I have to swivel it down to work on the back of the engine.

Ya, I checked.. MacMotors has the fuel filters. Just set the right vehicle, serial number range, fuel, then filters

Ya, I'm saying for an X, the tires need to be remounted to keep the orientation the same, but on the opposite side of the vehicle. I suspect chalking the tire and rim and mounting it back the way it was, but with the tire reversed won't require all new balancing (mostly). Around where I am, I...

I had already intended to rotate the tires in an X, but that will definitely require remounting to keep them rotating in the same direction and even out the wear from the rear camber.

Next step, replacing all of the coolant hoses and the hard pipe on the side of the engine. Everything has a very slow weep when cold (when hot, completely dry). After that, I suspect front brake pads may be next.... And just general maintenance. I still need to go over the whole maintenance...

Got the brass collar.. Put it around the metal hornswitch, pushed everything back flush with the steering wheel. HMMWV now has 'MEEP MEEP' noises. I THINK for the first time since I bought it, everything works!

I was talking to a buddy about that earlier today. I have an "old" (mid 2000s) overhead projector and some transparency sheets for my laser printer. Was doing to try to print the HMMWV patterns and try to at some point. :) My only concern is it'd need to be reasonably "not light" outside to...

When you drive, they rotate... ;)

My experience (Minnesota), vehicles have 'VIN' and 'Serial Numbers'. All civilian vehicles after 1982? would have VINs that belong in a standard format. Custom vehicles, as well as some commercial (and military) will have a serial number. The state MAY choose to re-vin the vehicle, in MN this...

It's one thing when a state won't allow them to be registered (or even transferred in). I hate it, but I "understand". It's a completely different thing to revoke registration of vehicles that were registered (without fraud). To me this is worse than unfair, it's really taking the value out...

Thanks for the TB. Am I blind though, is there something that indicates what the colors are 1, 2, 3, etc for the various camo colors? I.e. woods vs desert vs ....

Ok, got a new button. Button now checks out electrically, but still doesn't work. After consulting the parts manual (for about the 5th time), TM-9-2320-280-24P-1 Figure 68. I just realized, the bushing (part 10) is missing. So even though the new button works, it isn't getting ground...

Current glow plugs from MacMotors are Wellman. I bought a set last fall, and another in December (as a backup set).

I'm fine with the 'meep meep'. Just want everything to "work" like it should. I'm glad it's just the switch, and not the wiring.

The problem was the switch on the steering wheel. There is ground to the nut in the center, I connected the wire to that and horn went off. Doing a voltage check between the "ground" side of the horn (with +24V connected), I got 22V. So that pretty much covers the resistance of the unit.

thanks, I'll start with the 24V check on the horn, then move up to the column switch. (Need to replace an ABS sensor on my jeep first.. ARGH.. I just wanna work on the HMMWV.)
