    Sound deadening and custom interior install project

    I’ve armored more hmmwvs than I can remember , I’m finishing up on an M1165A1 REV now.... The hmmwv is the easiest truck in the world and the hardest truck in the world to armor, I know that sounds crazy, but till you do one, you will see what I mean. The easy part is that all your armor is...

    HOW TO: Tension V Belts on a HMMWV 6.2 Engine

    You use a long 3/8 ratchet or 3/8 breaker bar, the tension has a spot on the face. you also dont need to undo the fan clutch hose on a serpentine truck to install a new belt.

    Removing/Unscrewing Badly Corroded Smart Box Plug

    Not sure about any rubber you speak of, the box is held in via riv nuts. Are you referring the the rubber foam seal that surrounds the top plug? Here is a tid bit....the bolts provided with the OEM S3 box are too long, this because the bolts are for the newer trucks that would have armor overlay...

    Autozone Half-shaft fail

    And it doesn’t need too....one can visually compare a 7700 shaft to 10 or 12k and see it’s a night and day difference. OP is just being cheap...10k shafts are readily available at any distributor. you had no problem spending the money on a Dmax conversion, but you want to now cut the most...

    Autozone Half-shaft fail

    Why you would run that crap shaft I’ve no idea...the boot is a 7700gvw boot, so I will assume the shaft is as well.

    Starter bolt backed out and fried the starter

    NSS is just a pass through, so the wire numbers are the same, 2 of them…or marked A and B but makes no difference which side they plug into the NSS. To bypass it, you plug the 2 into each other with a jumper of some sort, they are both the same gender so they can’t actually connect like a male...

    Maybe it’s just me, but your issue is not the truck, it’s the product

    FOIA Request

    no sir...there was a person on this website who could track the trucks unit assignments based on the serial numbers, that program has “sun setted”.

    FOIA Request

    your truck was most likely never deployed, maint records aren’t kept as historicals like aircraft, rolling stock is an expendable item... M1123’s were reset and had MAK installed, than parked in storage for 11 years.

    Starter bolt backed out and fried the starter

    Clearly you haven’t broken out the multi meter and schematic...sans throwing a bunch of money at it, electrical issues require some troubleshooting after what happened . Dont forget to check the circuit breakers behind the instrument cluster.

    Grenaded rear end?

    You might know, I know, but not everyone knows that the ratios must match, I’ve had trucks in the shop with mismatched Diffs....it’s not a winning combinatio.

    Grenaded rear end?

    you can’t just stick a different ratio Differential in, he will need a 2:56

    Hydraulic Mile Marker wiring on a M1123?
