    HMMWV M1097 Problem please help!

    If you open the box, you will visible see what they mean by "fried". I had some issues that ended completely after I installed a Kaskar Ground kit. Get a new box, a temp sensor and the ground kit and all problems will be gone. Also make sure that the battery terminals are tight and all your...

    Control Box...what is good for?

    The shop owner, a Vet Army Mechanic, admitted their fault and will work out the difference in the labor (means, " jack up the labor " and subtract the cost of a new box). Seems like the control box is the biggest weak point on HMMWV's since HMMWV day one, found this old article that explain, I...

    Control Box...what is good for?

    Really, what a failure in design.........replaced when I purchased my HMMWV because last owner fried a new box (he failed to disconnect the batteries) and now even after I alerted the diesel shop and even printed a sign on yellow paper and placed in the windshield "disconnect batteries before...

    Are HMMWV slant-back top sets still around?

    24 bolt wheel weigth

    If you are looking for a "real" advantage for your H1, there is none....that will be at least 680 lbs between wheels, tires and run flats. For a HMMWV is good for the extra weight if you are planning to get some armor in it, but again, everyone's opinions are different and many rather the...

    M35A3 Cat 3116 Max Operating RPM

    Check your real speed with a GPS, you will find out that you are not going at 55 mph..... And the other poster....going 60 mph with a loaded A3?.....they must be some A3's with a modified tranny or too much sun in the head.

    MV Mounted Gun Laws

    All depends on your location, any response will be largely vague. NFA Firearms are regulated in Federal level BUT they can clash with your State/County regulations, you must obey both. Don't take the Internet opinions on that, call your Local ATF Office and find out the Federal level...
