    Only marine and navy trucks got fording kits, the hole is there from the factory for all hmmwv’s. there is a lot more to the kit then the intake, exhaust and a valve.

    Odd charging problem

    Your generator is not charging, easiest test is check voltage at batteries before start and then after, before start will be battery voltage, after start 27.5-28.5volts. A bad EESS will prevent your batteries from charging, assuming you have a 60amp generator, if a 200amp, then that’s a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately
