What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[papakb]

Yesterday four HMMWV owners went up to Jacques Littlefields Pony Tracks ranch for possibly one of the last viewings of his marvelous tank collection. It's been 2 years since the auction but there are still some beautiful tanks in the Museum and on the property. Paul Politi, Cam Koskens, Zee Ohanian and Kurt Lesser brought a fine selection of HMMWVs to the event and parked them center front in the courtyard of the museum.

The tanks that are there will eventually be moving to the new Collings Foundation museum in Stow, Massachussetts where the best of Jacques collection will meet with displays representing all conflicts where armored vehicles were used. Here's a link to an article about the foundations plans from Hemmimgs Daily.

Can the old style fan be replaced with the newer one? Better volume/flow with newer?

The newer fans spin in the opposite direction. If you install it on an older v-belt setup, it will push air away from the engine.

Not doubting or questioning like I don't believe you, just wondering for a quick explaintion cause it my head it's not making sense lol

Thanks. Shoulda done my homework on this one. I saw a photo, thought maybe some engineer had figured a way to improve airflow, make it quieter (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...), but backwards? Yep.

Get part numbers and look ip pics online. The blades slant the opposite direction. The serpentine belt routes the other way around that pulley. Thd inside of thd water pump turns thd other way too.

Thanks. Seems to be in shape so far. I'll know better after I start going more in-depth with my inspection. Bit so far drives well, fan clutch works, forgot how loud they get, fluids looked good, no signs of leaks yet either

That truck is a piece of junk-- do yourself a favor and just ship it to my house!!! I might even help a little with the shipping cost.... Just kidding, nice ride and good luck with your new purchase..

The truck looks great, nice score.

Replaced a marker light...LED went out. Still trying to figure out why my A/C fans don't work.

Which ac unit do you have? Are you getting power? did you check your ground?

Red Dot unit installed either before or during the GovPlanet auction. Haven't gotten a chance to get on it with a voltmeter yet, and I don't know where the **** fuse for it is. I've looked, and my neighbor even helped me because I thought I was just being dumb. We took the fans off and freed them up a bit, but they still have some resistance to motion. Looks like it sat outside for a bit
I'm definitely trying to get a voltmeter on it to see if there's power, though. If there is power, I'll have to figure out how to free it up even more. It's pretty ugly...while we were freeing it up, lots of rusty dust came out of the motors.

Wow! Sharp truck. Congratulations.

 

[Victorkilo31]

Thanks. Gonna get a few better pics this weekend and get them posted. Assuming I ever get this headlight issue solved and get the truck out of the garage lol

Bought one of those rifle brackets off E--y even though I wasn't sure it would even work for hmmwv, painted it OD and now test fitting. It fits the AR very well. Might follow up with the passenger side next.

I got lucky with mine and it's got all 4 seats covered. Mine look a bit different though. I'll get a pic later, since I'm at work at the moment. I haven't tried fitting my ar yet though. Need to find a ma duce for the rack in the bed though
