    6 c-2298 boxes possible on VIC-1?

    So here is my delimma. Yes I searched all 39 pages without a single thread related to my issue. In a HMMWV there are naturally 4 seating positions, however after installing a jump seat on the tunnel it adds two more seats. I know how to wire the VIC-1 for 4 positions but was wondering if it was...

    You put the engine to wide open throttle by mashing the pedal momentarily. This starts the time delay function temporarily disabling the fan.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yes you can run a 12v winch. You need to run a minimum of a 4 gauge charging cable from the 14v tap on the alternator to the positive terminal of the rear battery first. Then you will connect the positive cable from the winch to the positive terminal of the rear battery as well. This will keep...

    Pre-Buy jitters, Reliability nightmare horror stories... Please Help.

    I'll put it in trucker perspective for you. If you are comfortable with the maintenance costs of say a mid 80's Pete 379 then maintaining a HMMWV won't be an issue for you. As for extended length off road excursions I would recommend bringing a spare GPC/TSU and PCB with you. Other than that, if...

    Tail light issues on newly acquired m998

    Instead of throwing parts at it you need to take a multimeter and test for power at the connectors to the lamp assemblies. The running lights are directly powered from the 3 toggle switch assembly. If you don't have power before the lamp assembly go to the switch and test for power. If you have...

    Need old non working pcb

    I'm looking for a PCB,S3, or EESS to reverse engineer and simplify so that I might be able to offer a low cost fix to the problematic boxes. If I can do it then it should become a one time replacement that shouldn't have to ever be replaced again. Can someone point out which TM has the pilots...

    Hmmwv won't start

    Did you disconnect the batteries before putting the new box in? If not then you fried the new box.

    m998 200 AMP generator upgrade installed but is not charging

    Verify voltage at the output at the generator. The volt meter may have been damaged due to the over voltage.

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    So here is my question regarding revoking of registrations. I have a legally titled, registered, and insured 1097. It was never an ORUO vehicle. If I moved from PA to VA does this mean they would refuse to title/register it?

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    This is excellent and nearly identical advice to what I gave you. This is what I have done as my career for over 20 years. I am more than willing to walk you through each and every procedure to solve your issue but only if you are willing to follow directions as that is the only way to properly...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    You need to remove all non-factory connections to your batteries for starters to eliminate them as the cause. Second you need to completely disconnect the battery terminals from both batteries. Third is to individually charge each battery. Fourth you need to use a quality multimetervto test...

    MRAP bumper on an M1097A2?

    I believe I am following the rules as the link is to an auction that has ended. I am wondering if this coud be modified to fit with minimal modifications. Looking forward to everyone's thoughts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/172539446492?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
