    Bringing non-runner M1165A1 REV back to life!

    Exactly. Remove those two check valves and your issue very well could be resolved.

    Did I toast my 6.2 engine somehow, and how do you jump a 24v HMMWV?

    I hate rebuilt starters. They add too many variables. Solenoid, Bendex alignment to flex plate, what parts were replaced and with what... Etc etc. Testing the voltage on your batteries without load isn't really eliminating the problem. Knowing if you're staying north of 22 volts WHILE cranking...

    M115A1 Turret Question

    You're lucky. That part is damn near worth it's weight in gold.

    Anyone know what this wiring is?

    That's something govplanet should definitely remove. They pull out a bunch of benign stuff yet leave a hot copper connection capable of electrocuting a random unsuspecting person. This is negligence.

    Reminder: Tire Date Codes and visual inspections

    Hello All, Just a reminder to make sure you all replace your tires with old date codes or tires near expiration of the date codes. Plenty of people run our Hmmwvs on tires from the auction which are generally old and dry rotted. Please take the time to replace them. These tires weren't yet...

    Sf97 wait times?

    First purchase is always longer. I won't give you my horror story but call govplanet frequently and stay on top of them. They sent my sf97 and approximately 300 other people's to one guys house in Florida. Can't make this sh*t up. Thankfully he was honest and sent them all back to govplanet and...

    RFID Keyless Ignition

    Guard Dog fried my starter. I now use a keyed switch which is required to energize the start wire so that the key must be present for the standard ignition switch to work.

    2011 M1167 Project

    @Retiredwarhorses Did both my turrets. Neither of them leak. Now, the top of the hatch, that's another story but that can be addressed. You can keep 95% of water out of your Hmmwv. Also, my 2011 1167 400 amp alternator was chewing through my harness. Luckily @Retiredwarhorses was able to...

    Humvee will not start

    Sounds to me you need to tighten down your battery cables. 1. Do the lights come on now? 2. Can you blow your horn? 3. Do the needles jump when you turn the start switch to the first position?
