    20 bolt wheel?

    I think the 20 bolt are an aluminum 20 inch wheel, in 17 inch as opposed to 16.5. Found it https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/8768/TI-683-Goodyear-Wrangler-MTR17-Mounted-on-Aluminum-Rim-for-HMMWV

    Air compressor unit D2475-80

    the valve you unbolted is the pop off valve. once it reaches the pressure on the valve it will spill out/blow off any excess, to keep from blowing things up. If you unbolted it I would expect air to come out the hole with the compressor running. Were you asking about the pressure relief valve...

    that's a diesel engine, so is it a button for the glow plug?

    Got my 803A with LTT-HC Trailer - Mods, Questions, and whatnot....

    That is 119 gallons PER CONTAINER before it becomes bulk. For diesel, you can have a semi trailer completely filled with 55 gallon drums, and not need a placard. But a single 120 gallon tank and you're illegal. per the article: Whether diesel is regulated largely depends on the type of...

    HMMWV Rebuild process

    trucks only get the replacement part for the series they belong to. An A2 series truck won't get ECV or REV parts.

    Surge brakes

    M101 is a 3/4 or 1 ton trailer, the M353 is a 3.5 ton trailer. At rated full load it's about 4 times heavier overall. Not sure if the brake unit from the M101 would be up to the task. It's originally a Jeep type master cylinder (and still used today on things like forklifts that have...

    HMMWV Helmet Top or SlantBack

    the HHT also gives more headroom. Not usually an issue in these trucks, but sometimes it's nice, or it gives room up above your head to install more stuff like stereo or camera system displays or whatnot.

    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    I think the thought that was somehow the power would go from the negative of the first battery and use the 12V stuff for the electrical to find it's way back to the positive side of that battery. I have no idea how that would work anyway. All I know is, with my battery disconnect between the DC...

    HMMWV Helmet Top or SlantBack

    Part of it depends on your end goal. Slant back is great if you have a turret install in your future, and have $10-15k to spend now (along with another $5k when you want to do the turret) Slant back does tend to leak like a sieve though. You're looking at a day or three to install it all...

    Slave cable modification

    So originally I was considering putting a winch on a plate to go into a 2" receiver. A buddy here gave me a milemarker winch plate, so I ended up mounting the winch that way instead. Before that happened though, I was also given a slave cable and a couple of the old slave cable 2 pin ends that...

    Thanks, I appreciate it. Now just to get around to finding one at what I consider a reasonable price.

    SEC12 on milemarker hydraulic winch plate.

    So I got asked in a message if this mounting plate works with the A2 style brush guard. I would also like to know this before I go and spend $500 for that style brush guard in order to regain my teardrop shackles in the front (they just seem stronger to me than the D-ring type shackles that...

    Fuel pump part number

    I've run across the same thing in the civilian world. One of the instructors for certification in my job worked for a company with an industrial certification, to teach people and certify them as either consumer or commercial level. He always made sure we had his phone number in case we needed...

    Fuel pump part number

    Or I could continue to just give the part number every time someone asks "what part number do I need to buy this at NAPA/Oreillys/CutRate/CarQuest etc. Yes, you can find plenty of fuel pump part numbers by just searching the original part. That doesn't answer the question though of "what part...

    Fuel pump part number

    Step 1: Look in the manual and find the part number. EDIT: if you right click your mouse anywhere on the page in the PDF, one of the options it brings up is "find" Using the "find" search function will greatly speed up finding whatever you are looking for, provided you know the correct term to...

    Fuel pump part number

    Ken, Give me a little bit and I'll write up the procedure I just mentioned above with some pictures explaining the process so you'll have better luck in the future.

    Fuel pump part number

    to be fair, converting from a part number in the TM to one you can pick up at NAPA can be a bit of a pain in the butt. Normally I have to take the NSN, go to PartTarget.com, then start going through the list of all part numbers that belong to that NSN. Sometimes you get lucky and the first part...

    Fuel pump part number

    This is the one I'm using. Mine had to be ordered in from out of state, so likely that might happen to you as well. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NNPB0223P

    Need Advice For Humvee Top Removal

    You mean the hard cover on the back? it's 320 lbs according to the manufacturer's website, so I imagine with 4 people it would be relatively easy to install/remove. overall height of 102" so you're at 8.5 feet tall. SPECIFICATIONS Cargo Bed Covers - HMMWV, Type I And JLTV Datasheet View...

    Model numbers and various options.

    A0/A1 top speed in the book is 55mph. A2 top speed in the book is 78mph. ECV/REV top speed in the book is 70mph. Tires are all rated for 87mph (except the bias ply might be lower, but running those is kind of dumb as they haven't been used by the military in decades)
