I read both threads. Superfluous as in superfluous to my application, not necessarily yours. ;) I'm at work so I cannot go look at the suspension, and I don't have enough tech knowledge to know off the top of my head, but can I just unbolt the bottom of the shocks and drive around like that a...

Has anyone run the Cepek shocks with stock springs in an ECV truck? Or have an educated opinion on that setup? I've read through both threads, but for what I want there's a lot of superfluous information. I don't want a lift and the truck seems pretty level already. Last week I was on a...

Should fit three or four 40mm ammo cans.

Thanks RWH! The (what I believe to be) 1151s were over in the active compound where I didn't take pictures.

Guy was selling this switchbox I want to repurpose for the 12v bus, and it came with an IR light. I had no idea where that bracket mounted the light to so I didn't really even want it- even tried to get him to keep it to bring down on the price. $40 shipped for both. Then yesterday I was on...

I had to drive over to the "other" base to fill the tank in the M1165 and stopped at the compound where they up-armor the HMMWs. There were two very nice M1151s in there with full turrets and all the armor. No pictures of that area as I would want to ask permission first and nobody came out to...

Idle seems low to me. Hard to see the voltmeter, but to me it looked more like the needle *snapped* vs bounced. Seems electrical (for that issue) to me.

Installed some tie-down provision in the bed of the truck. With the water-dam keeping water out, it also blocks the two tie-down rings. If I take the doors off I have no way to tie them down in the bed, and no way to tie anything else down either. I've had this aircraft seat-track since the...

:ROFLMAO: That's what I'm talking about, there is nothing labeled Neg - only input, output, and 0V. I see a bolt on the left side of the shunt that is already pretty crowded, I think that's probably the best ground. Made my own mondo ring terminal- notched this washer and soldered the 10ga...

I'm just starting to work on mine- what a cluster fudge. Step 2 says, "connect the minus cables to the minus terminal of the Orion". What minus cable, what minus terminal?! I'm guessing (which I hate to do with wiring) they want me to connect a wire from the center 0V lug of the Orion to...

What you really needed was the bumper sticker: HMMWV - IT'S LIKE A JEEP, BUT FOR MEN

It wasn't your telling everyone that did that.... that's the nature of internet auctions.

My experience using BTM was that I needed a bit more than "slightly" on the brake pedal. Only firm pressure on the brakes and overriding that with throttle got me moving again. So the long and short of it is, practice in a more controlled situation so you know how it feels. Learning when...

Is there an NSN listed? That would go a long way towards unraveling this great mystery.

My '86 M1109 is all original suspension parts, with about 120K miles so far, never any wobble. Now, I'm running LT31x10.5R15 tires and no lift. Perhaps that has something to do with it? :unsure:

Wait until it's dark outside and look for sparking? That's what it sounds like to me. 🤷‍♂️

I hear something like that when it shifts from high RPM to low, and assumed it was the turbo overloading and opening the wastegate. I hear a similar sound when I shut the engine down. EDIT to add: I didn't find the 400 amp alternator any bother when changing the glow plugs since they're so...

Mine does that from time to time, but at high RPM. Pretty low priority on the list of things to work on since I really don't look at it much.

Finally some spring!

I need a cover if anyone has a spare
