    Glow Plug Replacement

    I got my AC Delco (10mm junk) GPs from Erik's Mil Surplus. They lasted less than a month before they started failing. That was an $80 lesson. If I recall correctly, those had a NSN in the advertisement as well.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I found an old guy locally that specializes in radiator repair, so I took the rad over to him and he re-soldered everything. Most of these side weldments were broken loose, and my theory is that it put stress on the core enough to start the leak. It was $135 fixed out the door. He took it...

    Are these batteries any good...?

    Only asking because you didn't mention it in your original post but.... you are waiting until the WAIT light goes out... right? RWH put two automotive batteries in mine (has it been?) three years ago I think, and I've never had any problem getting the truck to spin up fast and fire off, even...

    On the deck! Everything bagged and tagged, or marked on the part itself.

    Radiator coming out... Just getting the hood off is difficult when you're one-deep. Wood board underneath with a couple screw-eyes and strap and it lifts off easily. So far that was the easiest part of this job. Headed out for Day 2....

    PNW Info Thread!

    True, but I also have limited time to do any work, especially work with an unknown ECD. So it has to be this weekend irrespective of other events.

    I'll be chasing a radiator leak this weekend. :mad:

    HMMWV Headlight Needed

    It's been sleeping rough for a while, next to the used but still usable CUCV brake drums. It was inside a small recycle bin but I needed the bin for growing potatoes, so it's been there in the weeds for a few weeks. The wire insulation is cracking a bit, but it was that way when I removed it...

    HMMWV Headlight Needed

    I think I have one. If it fits in a Med flat-rate box it should cost about $9 to ship it, large flat-rate will be a bit more. I'll take a look when I get home.

    Parcel Eligible

    Wondering if anyone purchased something from GovPlanet that was listed as "parcel eligible" and how successful that was.

    This little project took far longer than it should have. Small spaces inside the can... The ammo can is mounted on vibration isolation feet. 4" cooling fan exhausts out the bottom, two lighter-plugs, and one USB charger plug all a timer. Top radio is a Radioddity QT60 that does 10 and 11...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I hauled a bale of hay in the back of mine, it came swirling up under the rear curtain and covered the rear seats. Looked like it was going to be a big vacuum cleaner job, but instead I took the doors off and got it up to 60mph and it all blew out. Question, is it cruel to choose your parking...

    Hmmwv rear curtain 4 man

    I looked at that, but they way they sewed it up tight to the rod means it will be tough to make it right afterwards. I can do it, but prefer not to. If someone wants it with the rod cut out I will do that. The curtain is in good shape, and will clean up nice I think.

    Hmmwv rear curtain 4 man

    OK, the bad news is USPS shipping is $110 + $18 for the accordion box = $129 to your door. Weird shape I guess. I used that same kind of box to ship three rifles from CT to WA and I don't remember it costing that much. Let me know if you still want it.

    Hmmwv rear curtain 4 man

    Sorry for the delay! Been a hectic couple weeks here. I picked up the box today and tomorrow I'll stuff the curtain inside it. Then either tomorrow or the next day.

    It's alive!!!

    If you have welding available, that's probably the best option. Otherwise you might try drilling it with a left-hand drill bit, OR drill it from the inside with a regular drill bit. Start with a small-ish bit and work your way up until it comes out or gets too close to the threads. Then tack...

    New M1165 Jigsaw Puzzle

    Last pic; the three capped wires on the center windshield I believe are for the optional windshield heat system. Those are routed around and terminate behind the battery box (same wire numbers). You can use those for powering items at the center windshield to prevent your needing to route...
