    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I've been doing the same. Started remodeling in January and just finished. Hauled 3 tons (!) of debris to the landfill using my HMMWV and M116A2 radar trailer. Now she's hauling the garage contents to my wife's house nearby. We're finally living in one house. HMMWV is doing fine, despite...

    Nicer than my inner tube chunks... Well done!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Perform the parking brake calibration from the post-brake pads clause in the TM. If the parking brake is dragging it will interfere a little, and also overheat/smell, but not enough to impact transmission shifting, so I agree with those who say it's another problem also. BDGR

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Very interesting. I will double check those on my rig. Yesterday the Wait light wouldn't go out, and no joy on cranking. In my case after seeing nothing obvious in the wiring, I disconected the batteries and reconnected. She fired right up after 10s Wait light and ran fine the rest of the...

    Remember that's Transmission Fluid, same as the trans, not power steering fluid. ATF Bulldogger

    M116A3 Fix-up & Conversion Thread

    I'm thankful for this thread. Commisserations, yours looks slighty worse than the one I inherited as-is. My lunette is fully shoved rearward, no forward movement. Getting a Master Cylinder was easy and not expensive, but I am not looking forward to all the other bits that must be smashed...

    That would do it! BDGR

    Got another deuce! M50 saved from the scrapper.

    Congrats! I second the "sounds good". Surprising given the amount of neglect it's had. Well-done!

    Power steering leak

    Quick disconnects are used by some for ease of maintenance of the fan clutch ad and steering assembly (since they both run off the steering pump). The recommended, and most common location is NOT there. No good reason to need one there as far as I can say. That hasn't been a point of failure...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Wire brush and a big can of elbow grease did all 4 of mine. I probably couldn't do it now, as I'm having neck disc troubles in my C4,5,6,7. A wire wheel on low speed might work? BDGR

    M37 no power, good idle

    Sure the fuel lines are clear and pumps can handle full load/flow? Distributor not advancing? I assume the M37 dizzy has flyweights, or is it vacuum advance? easy to have those little springs rust or the vacuum advance seize or leak. Hard to see a vacuum leak at the advance, but you could...

    m998 transfer case

    I'd swear one of the original Army videos for operator familiarization showed them shifting while running and trans in neutral. I'm happy to change that practice. BDGR

    Hmmwv fuel delivery run issue

    If you blew through the line (and that was worth checking), you definitely should bleed the injectors now. BDGR

    Hmmwv fuel delivery run issue

    The IP may be the culprit, especially since it's a known failure item. Before I read that explanation, my thoughts were blocked lines. Easy enough to blow them out with low pressure compressed air. A line can have partial blockage and still pass fuel briefly in good quantity form that stored...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks nice and tidy. Has anyone figured a good mounting style/hardware for AR pistol size weapons? Bulldogger

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It is widely recommended as a preventive maintenance action when injectors may have air in them, causing one or more cylinders to not be fed and fueled properly. Trapped air and poor fueling can destroy an engine; in the case of gas engines I had a classmate who ran out of gas and her mechanic...

    Don't forget to bleed your injectors to clear any air in them and balance your fuel feed. Not hard to do. Bulldogger

    Upgrade to 4 Seater

    Looking good. I have two green slant back kits available if you’d like to put a soft slant back on it. You can find my thread in the classifieds. Bulldogger
