What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[rcamacho]

Horn circuit preferred? If not, where?

That would make more sense. Still managed via the dash switch and allowing full switched current. (up to switch rating ??) When in normal Stop Light / Drive mode good and in reverse. Dash switch in the black out position... back-ups lights would be disabled. Nice in the combat zone LOL.

I prefer to skip the reverse shiftier switch business. Say one needs a light back there , engine running, in neutral, park brake set (hooking / working / looking) NO can do.

Better IMO... simple switch with small ON indicator. It's a military HUMMWV not an civilian Corolla.

My main concern and point is there is a resistor in that switch with limited wattage to allow for the HI - LO to the dash lamp circuit. It's something to be aware of and concern if one going to pull current in excess of intended "couple of dash lamps"

If it working for you great. Now back to the TM's, CAMO

I think alot of folks want it shift activated because of inspections. I know I have had several inspections where they checked for reverse lights. I cant say I have seen it on the list of required items, but given that they are not on very long, I cannot think it would overload anything. I used a low draw set of LED's as well, with the standard neutral safety switch inserted

I wired mine to the shifter to avoid unpleasant interactions with my state's ASED (safety inspectors.)
I didn't tap the shift illuminator for power though.

I looked at the GOVP pics again, dreaming of a magical email saying come get it early.

AMG has lights grounded, then a wire to the shifter switch.
The other switch wire ties into J on light switch, horn, and G ? on the turn signal switch.
Its all in the TM.
Note, I just quoted one of the conversation's post. Nothing intended directly at the quoted person.

Fuel filter.
Fine filter screen was good. Truck picked up a bit of power post filter change. I gather flow to the IP was restricted.

Original filter looks to have a minor mfg defect vulcanizing the metal screen to the end cap.

While waiting on parts to work on my never ending hmmwv project truck; I decided to work on my "removeable center console switch box"

Been catching up on maint last couple weeks. Changed the fuel filter, and it was NASTY! so drained the tank thinking may be full of scum, but it was clean as a whistle. Did manage to spill a gallon or so of diesel though. This is first time I've done the filter, kept putting off as thought it a pain to get to. Wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be. Replaced leaky heater core. New seals and spindle nuts in all four hubs. Fixed washer pump, put on Black Dog X-door retainers and replaced the leaky steering gear with a new Lares unit.

HOLY CRAP !!

HOLY CRAP !!

I just got back from puking in the toilet after seeing that!!!! WOW.

Wow, that makes my nearly plugged filter look pristine! Surprised it ran at all...

I had a perfectly dry soft top. Now have a hard top with turret and the rain dripping on my head but I love it!

Installed some reverse lights. I found those surface mount brackets that offer a little more protection to the light fixture. I’m keeping it all old school on the lights to keep it period correct. I got the switch but still have to wire them up.

Put the finishing touches on this air and propane system. I will now be able to preheat my work without lugging a propane bottle around. Or use compressed air for inflating, blowing debris and air tools. Also included an air horn operated by an old style pull cord.

Found my fuel leak. Only leaks when I fill up, now I know why

Someone drilled thru the floor and into the tank near the filler neck. A 1/4 x 20 screw screwed into the hole tightly, then put some fuel resistant sealant over that. At least I got new gaskets and freshened up the fuel system.
Still need to find where that hole in the deck is.

Changed out the hoses to/from the heater core. Found some blue Flexfab for the straight sections and OEM for the elbows. The elbow section down at the engine block was a bear to replace. Ran the engine up to temp and checked for leaks. Good so far. Of course I'd wait until winter is over before addressing this item on the punch card. Note the shiny rebuilt IP from last year...... still running great.

Working on my radio tray. I know the CB isn't standard issue, but I'm working on 3D printing a Rt-1439 front display to hide the CB.

Am I correct that this is NOT the DWF CDR? It's missing the small barb for the pressurization hose that goes to the DWF switch in the cab?

I believe this is a correct statement. Operational with "normal" driving but not correct if used while fording .
