    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wonder what adhesive was originally used. My 2003 1045A2, when I bought it in 2019, still had a lot of the foam insulation left on the rear hatch area. The glue was pretty thick underneath the foam. I had to scrape it to remove the insulation. The foam was breaking down before the glue...

    That is an excellent idea. I was wondering what I could use to insulate my 1045A2. Now I know, thanks. Did you use headliner spray adhesive or what?

    Here are some. These are priced about $5 per 50 pieces. Clipsandfasteners.com. haha if you have a former up-armored truck like me you may need 100...one more project. I haven't completed plugging mine yet.

    I plan on driving my Humvee from south of Houston, Texas to Minnesota towards the end of April. I am getting her ready to go so in the last few weeks I have installed a new head light dimmer switch, a new to me but used EESS, a 24 v to 12 v transformer, installed a 12 volt marine stereo (I have...

    It is my understanding that you will have a hard time getting them off without cracking them anyway. Your truck sounds just like mine, with the pivot extensions, and strategically placed white lithium grease. Did you have tin foil tape on your wiper pivot ends? But I digress, my truck had a...

    Yes, they work great and are much easier to find then OEMs.

    Looks good. Hey, who's driving that rig. Looking for the doghouse perhaps?

    Yeah it looks unfired to me. If the primer has been struck it is a misfire. Be careful.

    That looks really good. What did you use to plug up your old armor holes. I have a million of those holes that I would like to cover as well.

    I installed a backup camera. It works great and while it was advertised as wireless the camera and the monitor need to wired to either 12 or 24 volt power. The wireless is really not "wireless."

    I have been dealing with cooling system gremlins in my M1045 A2 lately. I've changed out a thermostat, thermostatic switch, and now it looks like either a new temp gauge or sending unit is in order. I was able to use an infared thermometer to measure the engine temperature for comparison to...

    It gets to that temperature in 5-10 minutes just idling in the driveway. It never gets to a lower temperature. The gauge is original and has not been replaced...yet. I am hoping part of the problem is the incorrect thermostat as the wrong one was installed when I bought it, and then I...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thank you Sir. The truck is running at about 235 F. So I initially assumed it was the thermostat. So I changed the thermostat, although with the incorrect part, so I am waiting for the new one to arrive. Then after reading some threads here I realized that my fan was not engaging. Using the...

    I spoke with Kascars today and ordered the thermostat as Retiredwarhorses posted. I was told the thermostat installed originally in my M1045 will fit both engines but the one ordered is the correct part just as Retiredwarhorses stated. So evidently either Melton or the USMC installed the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    No argument there concerning part numbers changing. I will purchase a thermostat with the rubber from Kascar and report back. I had looked at one at a local parts store and it appeared too small in diameter compared to the housing. I'll buy one from Kascar to be sure it is the correct part...

    The part numbers 12551497, 12559337 are interchangeable, with 12559337 superseding the former. When doing a search for 12559337 it returns the thermostat with the rubber boot. The thermostat which I pulled out of my 6.5L 1045 was the same as the thermostat in my 6.2 HMMWV, part number 14077122...

    I have been doing a lot on my M1045 A2. I removed all of the old foam which lined the inner roof of the cab and the slant back. This was a messy job as the foam had broken down and flew all over when it was pulled out. When pulling it off it left a sticky residue which I had to use a sharp...

    Good question. I went to two different auto parts stores and neither of them could find H1 arms. I guess I wasn't looking in the right places. The 1980-95 Jeep is just another option.
