    Any ideas for stickies re.: CAD/CAM AND 3D software/hardware.

    Seems like newbies like me might benefit by standing on others’ experience re.: platforms to purchase and software to utilize and companies to trust with production. Maybe something similar to TM’s on military vehicles. I need to design a simple flat HMMWV dashboard, and I’d love to transfer...

    Wet sand probably can revive the markings.

    There is nothing special about them IIRC. Perhaps a reproduction?

    Ambac injection pump

    I was thinking the same thing.

    Dog is my copilot

    We all love them. Many of us have them. Let’s start a post of us in our favorite rigs with prize pooches (and all other four legged friends). Working dogs, service dogs, pets… they’re all welcome. To get us started, this is my husky in my 1995 AMG Slantback Hummer. I will swap in pics of her in...

    Smart box with proper temp sensor will work on all HMMWV… any model any year any engine.

    Second picture is gunners turret seatbelt. Not sure of the correct military name. Third picture is switch for electric windshield defroster and deicer. Not sure of the first.

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    If you’re getting fuel to the IP and not getting fuel to the injectors, only two things comes to mind. Bad fuel cutoff. Bad IP. I feel your pain.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Opening heater valve?

    Smart box on fire

    Tato: Ciao from New York. You have a box that can be repaired and modified to make a manual robust box. You could be up and running same day. Read my post. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it-tobash.182560/

    200 Amp Alternator nut keeps falling off?

    Red or blue loctite???

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    Purge water… bad Diesel fuel??? Possible but lower in the probability column.

    Injector Problem?

    The Detroit can do something the new Diesels can’t do… run on vegetable oil and bioDiesel. The lower compression IP can tolerate the higher viscosities that the newer 10,000 PSI IPs cannot.

    Smoke on start up (not glow plugs)

    Clean up the oil catch we call a catalytic converter. Back pressure from that causes issues. HummerH1 and I cleaned our multiple units up and they run like scalded dogs. MPG also improves.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Decided not to spend $2k on half doors. Made ‘em for less than $60 apiece. Handles and strikers being delivered. Windows coming later.

    Stuck tie rod ends

    Loosen the bolts and make sure brackets are loose. Muriotic acid 1:3 ratio. At least two hours. Then wash and place in oven at 200 degrees for an hour to remove the acid. Then penetrating oil and heat alternately.

    Top speed

    I believe there was a Rod Hall modification that did close to 100 I am almost certain Mogman created a DuraVee that hit 100 and tore out all the CV joint boots doing it.

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    Worst idea ever if your looking to save $$$. Feltz tires sells awesome 16.5’s for 200 apiece.
