    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    After such an event, knowledge is capital! All the food or water I have stashed away is to help me over for a short time derectly after. Or like the aluminum foil hats here in Europe that hold small gold bars as a currency substitute. All that can be taken away from me. For a while I had a...

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    The Toolbox is located outside... right.. in this case okay.. but inside you will die by the exhaust gases

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    I had tried that too. I tried to insulate the exhaust so that it wouldn't catch on the canvas. But the exhaust gets up to 650 degrees hot. That's too hot for me! This is feasible as an eperimentell. But if it then gets brighter from behind the truck without that it should... no no... I don't...

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    I have more or less installed just such a Chinese diesel heater in my truck. As a test. After 10 minutes, I turned the heating down from 6/6 to 3/6 and then, not much later, to 1/6. They produce a hell of a lot of heat! The problem is the exhaust gas routing! Where to put it. I previously had...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    The HMMWV should also be running. Without the clowbox and gearbox stuck in limb mode, but it should run.

    Steelsoldiers’ BIG M1152A1 HMMWV Project!!

    Whitch lizzard did you want o use? Thermal oder akustic? Shouldn't both be fitted on the underside instead of the inside? In other words, analogous to interior roller blinds, which are also useless if they are on the inside.

    How to Prove Date of Manufacture?

    There is a thread here in this forum for this: Hmmwv serial # / year of manufacture list And that sayes it is a late 2008.

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    But to come back to the topic. And because it was mentioned that HMMWVs were parked with grounding cables. This only makes sense if they were supplied with power externally or had to be protected from lightning strikes. There must be 500 different rules in 50 different books that prescribe...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    I suspect that the person who claims something is EMP solid has never seen an EMP proof component. Otherwise the difference would be clear to him.

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    That is definitely not true. An MBT usually is. But even then, the expense is gigantic. An armored infantry fighting vehicle, the current one might be. Transport vehicles usually not. The cost is too high. I know from my own experience that the first EMP-proof Russian tanks contained several...

    how to detect a broken CDR-Valve?

    Now it's getting embarrassing... at least for me! I had suspected that my CDR valve wasn't working correctly and that I might therefore have had increased oil consumption. After I had lost sight of the issue, I went back to it yesterday. I had ordered a new CDR valve with the car at the time. So...

    IDLER ARM BROKE

    I know. That was only meant as an example.

    IDLER ARM BROKE

    I ask myself two questions about the whole China garbage discussion. How do I tell the difference between crap and good stuff? Here with the Idler Arm, it might still be possible by referring to the grease fitting. But what if the Chinese guys also put a grease fitting on it or leave it off...

    thinking about auxiliary diesel tank(s)

    I'm almost afraid it will end up being a pragmatic solution like this.

    thinking about auxiliary diesel tank(s)

    I am planning a tour to northern Sweden for February 2025. 1,800 miles one way. Since the fuel supply up there is sometimes difficult and the HMMWV is not exactly a long-distance runner, I have to think of a solution. A fuel can is certainly an option. But at -13 deg F and permanent darkness...

    Changing Brake Pads On M1123

    I know it's not electric. You can see it from the ship. Perhaps I expressed myself incorrectly in the second part. The small lever alone is only useful for inserting the screw. You should tighten it to torque with a proper wrench.

    Question of understanding: Decommissioning of HMMWV in the US forces

    I had assumed that HMMWV had come to an end in 2006 and would be replaced by JLTV. So I was surprised when AM General announced the HMMWV Saber. Here is the short video I was referring to. then I found this And the AM General website...

    Changing Brake Pads On M1123

    with the right bent wrench, I think it's 9/16, you don't need this fancy wrench. But I have to admit, I always do this kind of work on the lift. To make sure that one of only two screws holding my brake in secure, I prefer to have a classic wrench in my hand. But I may be oldschool or too...

    Changing Brake Pads On M1123

    For heaven's sake... you definitely don't need to remove it. In front, it's a gift victory anyway... you changed them both within 1 hour and drank 2 beers on the side! You can get to the upper screws with the right wrench. If you don't have one, then buy one. Just likk this but not in metric...

    Go ahead! Personally, I am also happy about these pictures. Or a link to the auction, then you don't have to load all the pictures individually.Go ahead! Personally, I am also happy about these pictures. Or a link to the auction, then you don't have to load all the pictures individually.
