    M1088A1 Spaghetti Monster

    What year model is it? If the bundles are cut, start looking for a parts truck. FMTVs are tricky to fix electrically even when the harnesses are still attached.

    Retiredwarhorses in Cali is your best bet. Wow $100 grand into a HMMWV. I am crying cause I am approaching $6k in my GMV build.

    Super early HMMWV on govplanet?

    It was a pure pleasure buying HMMWV parts back then. There was no market whatsoever so the two vendors that had parts were happy to get rid of them.

    Air line

    The factory line you nicked is DOT approved. If you use a DOT approved connector to repair it, you are all good.

    Air line

    By law you are supposed to use D.O.T. approved fittings and tubing on brake systems, so it's not good practice to do substitutions.

    Air line

    Not a simple answer. It's copper tube, but it's special air brake copper tube which is thick wall and not available commonly as the world has moved on to plastic tubing. Butt splices available these days are also not intended for this type copper tube. The fitting you need is a Tectran...

    Trickle charger / maintainer

    The front two batteries are connected in parallel with heavy cables and the back two batteries are connected in parallel as well. If you apply 1000 volts to one of the two batteries connected in parallel, the other connected in parallel will see that too. So whatever the NOCO is doing to one...

    Are all turbo engines GEP engines?

    Nope. GEP came about in 2000, the 1114's came out in 1996 ish with GM engines.

    HMMWVs with water fording valve punched out

    Taliban, China and Russia are just devastated that they can't get their hands on our brass valves.

    Trickle charger / maintainer

    Please explain how, unless you disconnect all the batteries, that a maintainer can independently charge batteries that are connected in parallel??

    30 mph tops

    If you are in 4th gear and the engine is screaming against the governor, sounds like you are in low range.

    Trickle charger / maintainer

    Why 3? I use 2, one on the back 2 batteries and one on the front two. Using 12 volt maintainers. Has been working great for 5 years now. The 24 volt maintainers are more expensive than 2ea 12 volt ones.

    MTVR underpowered with trailer

    If you uncouple does the power return? I doubt it. Time to plug in the Cat ET and see why you have restricted power.

    Gichner Shelter GSS-1497B operation quesiton on HMMWV

    The J2 connector would appear to be for the 110 volt shore power cable. Finding that connector might be tricky, I would be tempted to replace it with a more common twistlock connector.
