    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    As usual, you are correct Mog. I opened it up and there are numerous contacts inside burnt and melted. Also with a date code of 2002, truck is a 2001.

    My EUC Timeline

    You can't register for road use in MI correct? Which sucks. What is your plan with the new toy?? I have had mine for 9 days, running every day. Than yesterday decides to puke the SmartStart box and there goes another $1000! Buckle up and make sure the credit cards have some room on them! Keep us...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yep, been an owner for all of 9 days and the Smart Start box has the bed.......There goes $1000 that I wasn't planning on spending.. Or that I wanted to put into the spare tire carrier!

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    Want to close the circle on this subject. Frustrating when people don't do that. Returned 2 sets of these headlights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B376YOE?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Contrary to a YT video of these working for HMMWV, 2 different sets did not for me! Buyer beware...

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    Random thoughts at 3AM-If I wanted to or "needed" to take my 1097 into the back country and wanted to camp in it, thinking of seasonal cold and how to heat things up. Have actually read good reviews on these chinese diesel heaters. Wondering if anyone has done it and where you tap into the...

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    As I said, the actual light part never stopped working. So, they never "smoked" per se. Both high and low beams were great. And you are correct, condensation after powering on. And the lights stayed on. After the first set had it happen, I went to the reviews and there were others that were...

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    You are correct, but from my research, you can use those because of the LED feature. A wide voltage range. If they blew, I can get that, but the light function worked perfectly, it was just the condensation inside. Makes no sense

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    I went with the jeep recommendation because of a guy on YT, Dakota, don't know his last name. I have bought 2 of these this week with the same results. SO pissed! Immediately upon turning them on, they fog right up. To the point of water dripping on inside of lens...

    Tach wiring connection/connector

    Wasn't sure where to post this, so I will start here. Is there anyone that knows what this connector on the back of a tach is called or where I can get one? And than I need to scour the schematics/TM to find the pin out. Thanks for the help! (just realized the pin out is on back of the unit)

    Humvee won’t pull large tree but f350 does

    Why are you not putting it back to stock with the mechanical pump and use the filters as they were designed and put on 300K trucks? Dont' try to reinvent the wheel. Many millions of dollars were spent on the design of these rigs and they work perfectly that way. You need to do more diagnostics...
