    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    If you’re getting fuel to the IP and not getting fuel to the injectors, only two things comes to mind. Bad fuel cutoff. Bad IP. I feel your pain.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Opening heater valve?

    200 Amp Alternator nut keeps falling off?

    Red or blue loctite???

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    Purge water… bad Diesel fuel??? Possible but lower in the probability column.

    Injector Problem?

    The Detroit can do something the new Diesels can’t do… run on vegetable oil and bioDiesel. The lower compression IP can tolerate the higher viscosities that the newer 10,000 PSI IPs cannot.

    Smoke on start up (not glow plugs)

    Clean up the oil catch we call a catalytic converter. Back pressure from that causes issues. HummerH1 and I cleaned our multiple units up and they run like scalded dogs. MPG also improves.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Decided not to spend $2k on half doors. Made ‘em for less than $60 apiece. Handles and strikers being delivered. Windows coming later.

    Log of my M1165. Project Joshua.

    Guyfang reached out to me. Update… Worked with Eric Hummer H1. Then did a bit of offroad. Transmission pan fixed. Wiper arms sourced and wipers placed. Windshield sprayer replaced. Genius Box glowplug button mounted firmly, b-pillars and covers reinstalled, along with reinstalling shoulder...

    Stuck tie rod ends

    Loosen the bolts and make sure brackets are loose. Muriotic acid 1:3 ratio. At least two hours. Then wash and place in oven at 200 degrees for an hour to remove the acid. Then penetrating oil and heat alternately.

    Top speed

    I believe there was a Rod Hall modification that did close to 100 I am almost certain Mogman created a DuraVee that hit 100 and tore out all the CV joint boots doing it.

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    Worst idea ever if your looking to save $$$. Feltz tires sells awesome 16.5’s for 200 apiece.

    Transfer case access hole

    No. That wasn’t sarcasm. It was one-up-manship towards a valuable helpful member who has bailed many of us out countless times. Don’t try now to minimize your statements.

    Transfer case access hole

    Is it a full moon? A lot of new members are coming in and shooting aggressive comments at longtime and respected members. The person that this OP is currently dressing down for being able to pull a transfer case is RWH, who is easily the most experienced and most knowledgeable person and most...

    Marine Corp vs Army humvees?

    You have it backwards

    Anderson connector attached to heavy gauge wires passenger side seat...???

    I have become convinced that every HMMWV and Hummer should have a 500-1000 Amp cutoff switch. That ends the issues with battery drain.

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    BLK is perhaps referring to the following sub-forum https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/hmmwv-hot-rodding-and-modification-civilian-h1.179/

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    Reread your post describing all you “gave up”, then perhaps reconsider your aggressive comments regarding my replies.

    Leak in rear righthand brake caliper

    FRONT calipers are American Eagle. Rear are NOT. Rear cost $$$.

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    I respectfully submit that this is not an economy car. If you are pinching pennies, I strongly suggest you get a Toyota Camry or a Nissan rogue. You will never see better than 14 miles to the gallon unless you do a Duramax swap

    Eliminating 1 LB of rotating mass = 8.4 LBS of static mass. Let's upgrade TIRES

    This is a Hummer, not a Lotus. I want rims that won’t bend offroad and tires that won’t pinch in NYC foot deep potholes. I don’t mean to be “that guy” and a downer, but putting a HMMWV on a diet just doesn’t make sense. Maybe an all Aluminum F150 is more your style? Get Cepek alloy rims or...
