Hey all, Doing some wiring in the HMMWV and I have a question. I have a switch panel that I don't really want to run load through the switches, so I want to use relays and just use the switches to close the load circuit in the relay. So here's my question: I have a Blue Sea 6 fuse panel...

Does anyone have the correct size and material for the rivets that hold the window track to the x-doors? I have a couple of doors that need replacement rivets and I'm having a heck of a time identifying which ones to use. Lots of conflicting info out there. Some people say hollow pop rivets...

Ok, so I'm the proud owner of a beat-to-**** set of X doors. They need to be be refinished, bondo'd and and painted to match my truck. I'm trying to gather information about the refinishing process. Some areas are down to the gel-coat, but most surfaces are tan carc over green. Can anyone...

I noticed a small puddle under my left rear brake caliper. Upon closer inspection I see that the brake line into the caliper is dry, the bottom of the piston is dry and the drops are forming on the plate underneath the parking brake actuator. I can’t tell where the fluid is coming from though...

My right headlight burned out a couple of weeks ago. I got a couple of replacements from a buddy who upgraded to LEDs and had his old ones laying around (Thanks DU!). The new headlight looks good in low-beam mode, but in high beam mode it's very dim, and after replacing the bulb, my high beam...

Does anyone have the part number of the bolt circled in this picture? I've looked through both of the parts TMs and either missed it, or it's not listed. ETA: This one too....none of the diagrams for the radio mounts show these parts:

Does anyone have a source for these where I don't have to buy a whole seal kit? I have a class 3 leak on my right rear hub output seal, and I have a 4-pack of new seals, I just need a new keyed washer, but I can't seem to find them individually anywhere.

I have LED front turn signals with standard bulb rear signals. With the light switch in Stop Light position my turn signals behave normally. With the switch in the Service Drive position (headlights on) the left front turn signal does not flash. The left rear does, and both right turn signals...

My right rear hub output seal is blown and slinging oil on the inside of the wheel. I've ordered a new hub seal kit from eBay that includes the input and output seals, the spindle nut key washer and the plastic washer for the fill plug. A few questions: 1. Can someone point me to correct...

Getting ready to change my hub oil. What commercial product are people using for sealant between the cover and the hub? Permatex RTV Gasket for Gear Oil?

My oil pressure gauge or sending unit (or both) were bad because my gauge would fluctuate between 60 and 90 PSI at idle. I removed both the sending unit and the gauge and just installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge that has a capillary line from the fitting on the engine to the back of the...

A couple of times when going to start my truck, the starter has not engaged the flywheel properly and I get that awful screeching noise similar to what you'd get trying to engage the started on a motor that's already running. Anyone experienced this or know what it might be? Is my starter...

I know in the car world, there is lots of debate about whether it's best to start a car and let it idle to warm up, or just start it and drive smoothly at low RPMs to bring the engine and drivetrain components all up to temp together. In the diesel/truck world, do these things need to sit and...

I've been looking at the multitude of 24v->12v step-down converters out there and the one thing I keep wondering is what do you do when you want to drive multiple devices off of one of these converters. Has anyone built their own bus bar to be able to hook onto a 12V bus with ring connectors...

I am planning to build a center console for my HMMWV and figured I'd take a shot modeling it up in sketchup. Anybody ever play with Sketchup before to mock up something like this? Here's what I came up with...very basic design, but it's a start and not necessarily to scale. If anybody wants...

The cushions under the hood around the sling points...what are they called? My drivers side one is in great shape, the passenger side is literally falling apart. I'd like to replace both with new ones, but don't know what they're called.

I've been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding maintenance of the HMMWV in preparation for mine to show up. Here's my plan for my first week of ownership: Full tank of fuel (the needle in the auction pics looks like the tank is very near empty) with Power Service Diesel Additive...

I came across this site http://www.militarytrader.com/military-vehicles-news/buyers-guide-the-hmmwv which says that the 6.5L was introduced in 1994 with the M998A2. The truck I bought reportedly has a 6.5L but was built in 1989. Is it likely that this got a new engine if the listing is correct?

I'm going to need to put a light on my license plate to pass the VA safety inspection. I'm looking at these...

I bought a 1989 Plan B M998 yesterday I've heard really mixed reviews on the Plan B trucks, but we'll see. It doesn't require EUC/HHA and has a DMV issued title in Utah, so I'm hopeful that I won't have too many issues. I'll post pics when she gets here in ~10 days. In the meantime, here...
