    M35a2 Bed Roll Cage Extenders

    I'm thinking about extending the height of the rails so I can walk freely in the bed without being crunched over. I would also like to put taller palletized items in the back without it being such a tight fit. The height of it from the floor to roll cage is 5ft, I would like to extend it to...

    Highway Cruising Speed

    Just curious on what you guys cruising speeds are in the humvee and in which model? My 2002 M1123 best cruising speed is 2,300 RPMs at 60Mph, I have the blocky radio communication top so it's a bit of a drag on it, but either way I feel the 6.5 is very comfortable at 2,300 RPMs and still have a...

    Not getting 24v at the batteries

    I finally almost finished hooking up my AC unit but ran into the issue of not getting 24V. I figured the one that I circled is where 24V is suppose to come from. My meter shows no volts at that terminal. The truck starts up and everything works properly, the batteries both charges at 14v

    Hybrid Humvees

    AM General: Building for the Future Now - YouTube Just curious, what do you guys think about the Hybrid idea that AM General was showing as "Silent Mode" in the video? That makes me wonder where the electric motor would be located, the only ways I can imagine that being possible is to divorce...

    Lazy Man Weatherstripping

    I'm back with the M35 again, I'm thinking about sealing the heavy cracks I have in the windows and doors but I kind of want to go a different route than the OEM weather stripping. On the humvee I went with adhesive weather stripping on the doors and windows and shockingly it works very good. I'm...

    M1123 Low Power

    I'm having this strange issue where I'm barely having any power, especially at 45-55Mph. This happened a month ago and I thought it was my bad brake pads in front that was dragging, I changed them but Im still having the same issue. The strange thing is that everything was working properly until...

    Humvee Trailer 10-15 Foot Length

    Is there any MV trailer for the humvee that has 10 - 12 feet in length of cargo space? From what I seen, the original most used trailer for the humvee has a cargo space a little under 8ft in length, I would like to find something that's slightly longer

    Heater Diverter Box Conversion

    I changed out the heater box in my M1123 and for whatever reason, I cannot get the black diverter box to fix back on for the life of me. I'm almost sure this heater box I have goes to a M998 possibly, I want to ask have anyone ever converted the diverter box to the newer style? If so, how did...

    Heater Blower To Toggle Switch

    I decided to try and get my heater working because it sucks not having defrosters in the morning. I've changed the blower motor box and it's still not working. I'm thinking about wiring the blower motor directly to a toggle switch and relay. Would there be any negative effect in going this route?

    Water Pump Broken Bolt

    I know I'm going to get eating up for this one, but I ended up breaking one of the bolt heads, do I actually have to go and take this bolt off to avoid any leaks? This is one of the two bolts on the bottom. I know the water pump is completely sealed off from every other bolt torqued down...

    What Would You Do Here?

    I got the radiator off and I'm currently changing my hydraulic fan to a normal clutch fan. What would you guys do here since you got easy access to a lot of things you wouldn't with the radiator on? I've done the brakes and planning on doing the water pump next.

    Changing Brake Pads On M1123

    Im currently on the job of changing the brake pads and notice that the top bolt on the caliper is almost impossible to get without remove the radiator. My rotors are good so Im not worried about them, I just want to change the pads out. Is there any other way to that top bolt without taking the...

    NDTs on front and super singles in the rear

    I'm pretty sure a lot of you remember the issue I had with the previous wheels only being able to be used on the rear. I decided to be cheap and get 2 of the 12 bolt wheels. These wheels ended up being the worst beadlock wheel I have ever mounted, I stripped 3 of the studs trying to get these...

    Oil Leak Around Oil Filter

    I've been having a small oil leak around the oil filters for the pass several months or so, it only leaks when the truck warm up. I thought it was the gasket under the oil filter housing, so I changed them and torqued it down, it wasn't, it still has the same leak after about 20-30 minutes of...

    Multifuel Reliability or The M35 itself

    I've done a ton of reading, researching, & talking to others; I haven't seen any thread talk about it in a long time so I would like to hear some updated experience of the reliability with the 465 multifuels & the truck itself. I hear mix results from people, a lot say the engine is reliable and...

    Any modified parking brake

    I've burnt out my parking brake most likely, I've tried to adjust it with the knob on the handle but don't get any results. Has anyone ever come up with another idea for the parking brake? I was thinking of temporarily using a pedal depressor when I'm parked with the truck running, and usually I...
