    Humvee 400 Amp voltage regulator

    Get the specific one you need or replace with new Dual voltage 200 Amp alternator regulator with new mounting brackets. You need to re-engineer the mounts to swap to GM alternator, and that takes time AND you will also need a 12V inverter to operate the transmission. In general, being cheap...

    How does dual switch brake pedal work ?

    Perhaps I misunderstanding you, but you disconnected the batteries and then went to check transmission codes? There would be no power going to the transmission, therefore no codes. You need to disconnect the batteries and then reconnect the batteries and then disconnect the temperature control...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Respectfully, I have owned a rigid air compressor for over a decade and I have never paid attention to the duty cycle. There are times I’ve had it running for 15 or 20 minutes at a time.

    No steering/brake pressure.

    Most likely you have an air leak somewhere that allowed the fluid to leak out of the pump. Once you revived the engine, you got fluid circulating again. Remember that steering fluid pressure also controls the brakes.

    Aftermarket fiberglass door differences

    I made doors. Cheaper and easier to remove for outdoor adventures. I like them more than my electric imitation military x-doors and my soft doors and my fiberglass X-doors military doors.

    How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it. TOBASH

    Just be aware that using a plastic box is potentially an issue because it is flammable and it is dealing with high voltage and high amperage. Just one wrong wire can cause that all to catch fire. I recognize that car companies are using plastic boxes however they have extensive teams to make...

    Anyone adapt a red dot HMMWV a/c to the FMTV?

    I have a red dot complete and unused 24V a/c at home. Anyone ever adapt for use on FMTV? Are there better options?

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    This was done “in-house” which is why I used them. Thanks for the great idea BUT I chose this place because they are perhaps the last of a dying breed.

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    He asked me how to fix the HMMWV, not his lungs or his life. He can use airplane paint remover. Specifically, to repair previously worked Aluminum, one needs to heat it.

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    Respectfully, I think you mean aluminum sheet because in your Ford the bed was probably made out of steel and you would not get a galvanic effect using steel, but in these vehicles, the floor is aluminum and as such, you will get a galvanic effect unless you use aluminum sheet

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    This is the flatbed in a truck and a used truck at that. I’m giving you instructions on how to get your truck up and running. If you are trying to make it look beautiful then you will need to drill out all the rivets and insert a new bed. If you want, I’m certain you could do limited bodywork...
