    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got fuel flowing out one injector. That's progress. Lol Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Nartron/KDS S3 Diagnostic Interface

    Please see the quoted section of post 2. The intent is to diagnose the S3 itself if there is any issue currently being explored. It's also supposedly able to be reprogrammed, though, I'm not sure what we'd possibly want to reprogram in it. Spit balling here: would make for an overly high-tech...

    2018 Haspin rally, June 6th-10th, info/discussion thread

    Yup, we sure put it on two wheels, with the other two wheels also contacting the ground for added stability. But seriously, thanks for letting her drive your HMMWV. She's been really giddy about that and loves telling stories from all of her stay at Haspin. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Nartron/KDS S3 Diagnostic Interface

    No, it hadn't. I didn't have the serial cable when I was thinking about it. That's different now, so I'll have to get it tried out soon. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Here's a sample of run-flats in action, plus my fiancé was asked to stand in a big rut in front of the HMMWV. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    2018 Haspin rally, June 6th-10th, info/discussion thread

    I'll be packed tonight to head out first thing in the morning. I'll be arriving right around the time the office opens in my not-offroad-car with my fiancé that's never been to a MV event.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Ok, twist my arm... As you can see, the axe is absolutely wrecked. Nothing is in good condition on it. The mattock head is in good shape, but the handle is very weathered-it would probably work very well for a while, but could be better. Shovel seems just fine. I get a hunch the shovel...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    It's a silly little thing, but a local with no MVs had a pioneer tool set for sale. $50 and 50 miles on the odometer later, I come home with it. None of the tools were even close to the right spot, so I quickly rearranged that, then threw it right under the HMMWV without any issue. Only thing...

    I'll be there Saturday only, with my fiancé. She's been itching to see what all this MV hubbub is all about! Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    exploded parts view manual ?

    ...unfortunately, you probably just need to print them yourself. I do always buy FMs and TMs for things that are relevant to me whenever I stumble across them...you just have to be lucky sometimes. As for greasy fingers on a keyboard, put a sheet of plastic wrap over top of your keyboard...

    2018 Findlay Oh Armed forces day buy-sell-trade & Info

    And here I am, just sitting in the body shop, waiting for my car to be done. It was set to be ready at 1PM, but they had an air hose fail that caused a cascade failure of issues that delayed everything. I'm being promised any minute now, which I can then go run up to Findlay once back in my...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I might just have to copy the oil pressure redundancy; however, I am one of the dweebs that actually owns and uses an electronic ICE diagnostics set, so I like having my fuel pressure transducer in-place!

    Things to look out for on a 94 M988A1?

    Half-axles tend to be the weakest link out there, and unfortunately, you need to carry three of them to have spare for every possible wheel (FL, FR, Rear). You can keep those safe by not suddenly applying the brakes if you have a wheel start free-spinning, due to the breaks being on the half...

    Military Radio - Computer Interface

    Thanks aleigh. That's the same conclusion I've formed about the UAA. I've already played with the mixer settings quite a bit and that's how I got it to be vaguely useable. It works very well with what it's intended to do (PC, headset interface) but doesn't handle the role of radio, pc...

    Military "CB" Radio

    You would still run into the legality issue aleigh mentions, but another radio that could work is a PRC-138. But, this radio would be a hellish amount of overkill for the job. You'd be about $7,000 deep in radio, mounting hardware, and supporting devices to use about $50 of radio...

    Cobham FFCS/T

    Sorry, I honestly overlooked the placement of that second headset connector on the ITS/R. I'm used to them both being on the bottom, so my brain just filled in that it must have been the highway cable link. With that diagram you have, I absolutely agree that you need a FFCS/T, and I'm entirely...

    Clunk when shifting between drive and reverse, or vice versa

    Glad you got it taken care of! I've already played the propeller shaft game a few times now due to refitting the shafts for a 3L80 -> 4L80E swap. I personally just unbolted the front prop shaft at the carrier bearing, front diff, and the T/C. I had a friend there to catch one end of the prop...

    200 amp generator housing broke.

    For the OP: I'd absolutely get it professionally welded. Anything that spins at high RPM or houses something that does should be handled with at least some degree of precision, and I really feel like having your alternator turn into a grenade inside your engine is not something you should...

    New to me Humvee

    Thing I love about these 2-man HMMWVs...check out one of the field medical field manuals...one talks about medevac and casevac, and details ways in which you can load wounded soldiers on litters into various vehicles. A 2-man HMMWV carrier 5 hurt GIs on litters...2 in the bed of the HMMWV, and...

    Adding Seatbelts to Cargo Area - Help Wanted for Planning!

    You guys are right, it is those gold ones in that picture. Good thinking on the template, I should be able to find that in a TM somewhere and will help me figure out dimensions and confirm fastener sizes. Juanprado, I'll keep that in mind, as that's a good price. I'm not ready to jump yet...
