    Question of understanding: Decommissioning of HMMWV in the US forces

    Ahhh, then there's been a big misunderstanding on my part. I was assuming a decommissioning. Then the page I linked is probably out of date. Especially if I understand thedrive's article correctly. Too bad it is not clear when the article is from. Okay, if AM Generel continues to produce and...

    Question of understanding: Decommissioning of HMMWV in the US forces

    I must have expressed myself imprecisely. I don't mean the vehicle as an individual, I mean the system. If I am interpreting this correctly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humvee_replacement_process) then the HMMWV as a system is dead for both the Army and the USMC. No more new orders after...

    Question of understanding: Decommissioning of HMMWV in the US forces

    I've had a question for some time. From my German/Swiss point of view, a vehicle that is taken out of service is removed from active service. It may still be used in non-critical areas, but no longer in active service in front (near) areas. This also has something to do with the supply of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    No... i had to wash the wind shield during the rain. And so the rainwater mixed with the washer fluid. The bubbles are a nice side effect. The water ingress was so strong that there was a small pond in the frame in front of the pane. And I soaked my left leg every time I made a right turn.

    Pre-Buy jitters, Reliability nightmare horror stories... Please Help.

    Reliability depends solely on the condition of the vehicle. And this depends on the quality of maintenance and parts. I know that mine is 100% in order, so I trust it to do what you describe three times over.

    Nice HMMWV to say the least

    Is this construction realistic? It seems to me that he has simply tinkered with everything he could get his hands on. The Gatling on the door makes no sense to me. Too heavy, questionable ammunition supply. Freedom of movement for the shooter behind the door too. So heavily armed and then no...

    Banks Hybrid Power 3.0L v6 hmmwv

    If the target Market is the military market, i'm in. Mainly for the reasons you mentioned. But in this case i hav to ask why to choose a outdated paltform! And so we are back to a pure feasibility study or marketing stunt.

    Banks Hybrid Power 3.0L v6 hmmwv

    I seriously ask myself why! We don't move the vehicles much after all. Even I use it as a dayli but don't get more than 20k miles a year. So why deprive the truck of all its charging capacity? To install an unnecessarily complicated 12V system only to fail due to the fundamental ineffectiveness...

    nice, but why did you install the rope window in this condition? It can be quickly cleaned and repainted.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    A friend of mine heats with wood. But as the road to his wood yard is in about the same state as the front in the Ukraine due to the snowfall of the last few days, I helped him. No chance of getting there with a normal vehicle, like my RAM or Durango. But the view from there was great... from...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    First snow for us this year. And since I, as a wise, foresighted man, didn't manage to get winter tires for my wife's car in time, I had to take our daughter to school today. The total distance is 1 hour and the damn fan heater went out again in the middle.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The mirrors are no worse than the whole HMMWV itself ;-) But they may be, but I find modern mirrors as out of place as carbon stripes. Okay, in this case the paintwork of the truck is already different and doesn't claim to be original.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    nice work, but why?! Do they really look better to you? I don't think this modern plastic style suits the HMMWV. I mean, you only have half doors anyway. So the view of the original mirrors is not impaired.

    LED lights wiring problem?

    Please measure the output voltage directly at the 24V-12V converter. If this supplies enough with the charger connected and too little without it, then the batteries are probably screwed. Please measure both batteries individually.
