    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I don't remember and I really don't want to dig for it again. It was an ugly scan, anyway. Here's a link to the original PS Magazine in a nice quality, color scan: http://psmag.radionerds.com/images/a/ad/PS_Magazine_Issue_519_February_1996.pdf If you skip to the 24th PDF page, you'll be...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took me a little while to find this... The write-up is in PS 519 (Feb 1996), page 28. I found it in the "HMMWV Quick Reference Guide, Third Edition" Thanks for sharing images of your build of it. I might throw one together myself.

    M998 Battery compartment

    It actually depends on your HMMWV configuration is. The answer to every variant up to about 2008 will be in one of these two manuals: TM 9-2320-280-10 or TM 9-2320-387-10. For most of us with a typical M998 or M998A1, that compartment is intended to hold tire chains, a slave cable, and a tow...

    how to soundproof the humvee

    Two electronic control boxes? You're just adding the TCM. The easy/cheap way is using an aftermarket transmission controller. The easy/expensive way is using all of the original military components, including the A2 chassis harness. The hard and mid-priced option is using all the original...

    Living with a HMMWV- The First 100 Days.

    Look at that little, proud Indiana flag on there! You should find your way down toward Indianapolis some time!

    Miltope MSD V2

    Thank you for sharing the rig you have for that drive. Pretty clever to use to the cable so that you don't have to have the alignment perfect. I've got you covered for the recovery discs. Once I get home, I'll figure out file sizes of the discs so that we get the ideal transport medium setup...

    Water pump pulley replacement.

    Yes but it should be turning independent of the drive belts/engine. If the engine is not running, the fan is engaged. It takes hydraulic (or air) pressure to the fan clutch to cause it to extend out by half an inch and disengage from the engine. It's a failsafe design so that if anything goes...

    Glow plug light stays on, engine won't start

    Precisely what he meant. There's full details on it as a sticky in this HMMWV forum. Literally will be the top-most topic right now. I don't think the supplementary ground kit is actually necessary, but it's what I'd like to call "good insurance." If you meticulously disconnect, clean...

    Joining the HMMWV club

    Of all things it could be, it's actually a quote from Mean Girls. One of those many movies out there that you dread the prospect of having to go see, but once dragged to it and forced to watch, you realize that it was actually pretty **** funny and worthwhile. I don't think I'd sit down all...

    Water pump pulley replacement.

    Which in itself becomes a lot easier with the right tools. Start first with some compressed air on the hydraulic line leading to the fan clutch to allow it to free-spin and get it set so that you can easily get a hex bit centered in the access hole for each bolt. I couldn't initially get mine...

    Welcome to the club. We wear pink on Wednesdays. The TSC is Trade Security Controls. They do what they want. We just get used to it.

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    More info! Most of us are probably stuck using EMS2 as our IETM viewer. If you're using anything newer than Windows XP (I sure hope you are...), you'll notice that any of the Indexes, about pages, and help sections don't work. You actually will receive an error stating that .hlp files are...

    Miltope MSD V2

    PM me if you decide you need a copy of it. It's version 2.8.1.4. As well, I have a couple of pieces of information that are useful to anyone installing after XP. Microsoft dropped integrated support for the .hlp help format starting with Vista. Up to 8.1, they offered a patch file (available...

    Miltope MSD V2

    Really? I've been using EMS2 and it works A-OK on Windows 7 Pro 32-bit AND Windows 10 Anniversary Edition 64-bit for me. I can "do everything" on the 7 32-bit config as that's my test rig. I can open the program and go through the flow charts and such on Windows 10 64-bit, but I haven't even...

    Glow plug light stays on, engine won't start

    That short you experienced is highly likely to be the root cause of the problem. The HMMWV does not make use of fuses on any of its stock components. Instead, it makes use of circuit breakers that are located on the right side of the steering column. These are self-resetting, so they would...

    Miltope MSD V2

    Already ahead of you. Disc 2 does have very basic tests on it that you can run on your own if you want raw data. I have the HMMWV IETM and I know a few others are out there. The HMMWV IETM seems to automatically capture values as you go through troubleshooting and will build up a collection...

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    It is in PDF form (and a ghastly IETM version that's tough to navigate, unlike vehicle IETMs). I picked it off of the LOGSA ETM site. For your convenience, have it here! If you care to look, the LOGSA ETM site also has the MSD v3 TMs; however, I didn't grab them because I don't have that kit...

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    Got home today in time to have enough light for pictures, so it's time to deliver! Case, Closed and Opened, as-packed: Non-cable contents displayed: Assemblies, as seen above: Probe Set; ICE Interconnecting Box; MSD Backup Software Disc 1 & 2; Adapter Set, ICE Test Fittings; Data Bus Kit (mine...

    Miltope MSD V2

    I unfortunately would need the Windows environment up and running. I'm trying to use mine for diagnostics using the Miltope suite of software. I know there's Windows 2 Go for Windows 8 - Windows 10, but I'm not sure how nicely that would play with this. Would also inevitably be egregiously slow.
