    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Like Mark it sounds like a failing injector to me, bust each line and see if it goes away on one of them. IMHO it is not "tinny" enough to be a lifter.

    Speedometer help

    Is it just a 60MPH gauge? a used one should be relativity cheap, I think I even have a couple floating around here, but new is nice also!!

    Speedometer help

    Sorry not a clue, the only thing I can think of is using a power supply one side connected to the brass ring and the other connected to a nail with a sharp tip, the idea is you weld the point of the nail to the broken piece, it would take some experimentation on another portion of the cable to...

    Speedometer help

    If it broke off there the speedo may be seized and not worth the effort.

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    The good thing about having the 10K VS the 12K half shafts is IF you have one go out for any reason while on the road you can usually get a Chicom one in 1 day from Autozone, or 3 from Summit racing. You should carry one of the outer stubs from one of your 7K shafts and shorter bolts for the...

    There are allot of folks trying to pass off aftermarket shafts as factory shafts, one of them likes to use the work TACOM in all of his sales.

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    If you have a stock HMMWV then the cheap Chinese half shafts are one option, if you have a re-powered HMMWV then the factory half shafts are pretty much mandatory simply because you can go fast enough to rip the boots off due to centrifugal force with the softer Chicom boots. I just replaced the...

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    I was kind of surprised when that guy complained about lack of stability. The closest thing I have owned to compare the DuraVee to was a Triumph GT-6 I had in high school, damn DuraVee corners as flat as a pancake but when it starts to get away from you it's allot of work to stay out of the...

    HMMWV REV truck brake bleeding

    I am curious, if you let what comes out sit does it phase out so you can reuse it?

    In 2WD if you bust it loose at at over 20-30MPH does yours try to swap ends?, mine does, good fun!!

    What transfer case do you have behind the 47RE? The one I am running is a MP1265 I THINK, it is the original from the 2008 C2500HD, I LOVE that electronic shift on the fly!!!!

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    A few months ago I blew the doors off of a jeep that had the back window full of hot rod parts stickers including a Procharger decal, I looked in my rear view mirror and he had his hands up in the air, like what the heck just happened,,, classic!!! Even at only 425HP the gear ratio gives it a...

    You could buy all new half shafts, break them down and have them cryo treated

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    Not anything I know of unless you have the 10K Basic or A1 drive train, nobody needs crazy HP unless they are doing some type of exhibition driving. I have not been able to break the 7/10K drive parts with 425HP even though I am running part time 4WD. But again I don't do any rock climbing, none...

    Humvee won't start

    There is a check valve in the return fitting on top of the IP very small chance that is plugged, but would check anyway.

    Humvee bodyswap to civi truck frames

    I'm not sure why you would give up all the comfort with the same off road capability as the doner civy truck. One big issue you are going to have is the engine will be past the front bumper with no room to install the hood and absolutely nowhere to put the radiator. The entire engine is well...

    Humvee won't start

    Sleep on it and try again tomorrow, fresh charged batteries etc. It will not hurt to give it a few more tries before condemning it. be conservative with the starter.

    Anyone replaced a rear fender on a HMMWV?

    I was going to post that video until I saw he was cutting a v notch in the brace

    Humvee won't start

    Sorry, was not paying attention, running the jumper to the alt works if you have a 100/200/400A alt, if you have a 60A alt you would need the run switch in the run position to get 24V at the alt. remember to ALWAYS wait 90 sec any time you turn the run switch to off before switching back to the...
