    Beware of Govplanet!

    I was NEW to GP & made a mistake bid. I called to see if I could retract a bid - no go. Luckily someone else bid higher. Lesson learned for me. Not that it won’t happen again… I also fell victim to ‘shipping’ when I intended to pick up. I try to pay closer attention to process now. They...

    M1088A1 Blinkers not working

    We’re you pulling a trailer at the time? Check to see if you can hear or feel the relay respond when the turn signal is switched to L or R. Also make sure the light switch is not set to blackout drive. After the “quick & easy to check” items are scratched off you’ll need to get out the manual.

    M35A3C winch trouble shooting

    Here is another page from a TM. Good hints here about “rust” & crud, etc.

    M35A3C winch trouble shooting

    I pulled this out of the operator’s TM. The description gives a couple of clues about what could be faulty. Do you have a unit level maintenance manual?

    Looking for a throttle pedal for a '96 1078. Anyone? Im located in NH.

    “Only 3”. I bet we would have been great friends! Lol My wife would skin me alive! She still doesn’t see the value & possibilities of the M1083A1 I picked up! Ha ha

    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    Are you saying that with the negative cable disconnected that you will not get a battery voltage reading by placing the read voltmeter probe on a positive battery post and the black lead to a clean section of the vehicle frame?

    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    By isolating the ground side the battery potential is still available in the system. Remove the ground on your car battery then go to your starter and check voltage from the positive battery lead to ground. Check it with a “wrench” and you’ll see sparks. Isolate the positive cable with the...

    Connecting the military relay for convoy lights

    That relay goes to tanks, M110A2, etc. When I was in we simply hard wire the beacon lights to a switch that was wired from the batteries or an aux connector.

    Need A Humvee Expert

    First thing, wait until the glow plug light goes out before attempting to start. I suspect that your glow plug controller is faulty & you could very well have bad glow plugs. It seemed to turn over a few more times before starting than I remember. You should change the fuel filter & air...

    Question on Gov planet process - What's a realistic timeframe for first time EUC's right now?, etc.

    Yes, you can take the equipment as soon as the EUC is processed & cleared. At least Chambersburg is that way.

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    That looks nice. Never heard of a Barstow rebuild. If it came from Ft. Irwin (NTC) you might temper yourself for grave disappointment. The maintenance guys (civilians) who maintain and repair the equipment for units rotating through for training evaluation notoriously SUCK at doing even the...

    Question on Gov planet process - What's a realistic timeframe for first time EUC's right now?, etc.

    I received my EUC with 72 hours after submitting that & the SF97. The SF97 still has me in a holding pattern. I wrote a scathing email to GP clearly stating my dissatisfaction with their poor level of customer service. I literally felt my SF97 go to the bottom of the growing stack….

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    EUC approval is usually easy. The SF97 seems to be the trouble spot.
