To point One, you are correct, it is a military vehicle BUT I'm not in a war or the military.
Point Two, Why when I can easily make it safer for my everyday needs? Does that bother you so much to tell us to "go buy a 4WD SUV"?
Yes, that is an easy one, don't do it. I never use BO and I regularly forget to turn on the stop light (no brake lights) until the first time I go to use the directional signal and it doesn't flash, then I remember to turn them on. I personally would prefer not to get rear ended more than I...
Rev 2
The modifications in RED make the brake lights work full time. They also disable the Black Out lights so they can't all be on at the same time.
The modification in PURPLE does two things, first it moves the driving lights (tail lights, markers etc) to the STOP Light position of the...
I was basically thinking out loud based on the pictures you posted. I see what you are saying about the turn signals however they are also the hazard light switch and any modern vehicle (last 50+ years) the hazard switch is always live. However the HMMWV I don't believe it is for obvious...
I missed the F connection and was thinking the A was switched power to that side of the switch but now I see it is what feeds the dash light circuit. I corrected the picture. As for back feeding it should be relatively the same as what your suggesting. As long as the directionals and brakes...
Why not make the change in the switch itself? No cutting harness wires and it looks like you could accomplish all of it internally. The brake light mod I like the idea of. The turn signal mod would allow the hazard lights to work with the switch in the off position. With both mods done it...
You'll be able to straighten it easily. I straightened a rear airlift bumper with a torch and a ratchet strap. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/post-2200967
I did a custom camera mount that I made and mounted in the tire carrier. I used this system https://www.amazon.com/WOLFBOX-Mirror-Backup-Camera-Screen/dp/B0811Q28N6 It is a single rear camera but centrally mounted I have no complaints. I upgraded the camera and would use this one today...
https://mainelobsterfestival.com/ Let me know when you arrive, I'll be there. Last time I went I taught a bunch of Japanese students how to eat lobsters and they didn't understand a word of engrish.
Did parade duty today and the truck ran perfectly, never broke 190 temp. My copilot today did a fantastic job throwing out lollipops and waiving to everyone. We used comms the entire time which she loved and actually made it great for talking. The crowd really loved the truck and it was the...
I'm no expect but I can tell you my personal experience. From what you say it sounds like you expect the fan to stop turning when it is suppose to be disengaged? The fan always turns and in the disengaged mode it doesn't move very much air. When the clutch engages the fan kicks up a lot and...
No specific words of wisdom here but general troubleshooting ... since you have obviously had it all apart a couple of times, I would remove each part individually and see if anything is still making a clunking noise. For example, remove a gear and spin the remaining to see if the clunk...
Oh and just to clarify, the lighter fluid softens up the adhesive to scrape off, DO NOT LIGHT IT ON FIRE. I mean, I'm sure that would work too but DON'T DO IT. The label even says it can be used to remove adhesive or labels as one of its uses.
Try lighter fluid on it as in Zippo type lighters. I have used lighter fluid to remove adhesive for many many years and in most cases it can't be beat.
Well, start with the TM's, get a part number. Put it in google, click on a bunch of sites until you find the one that cost less with shipping included and then you will have your answer. Seriously, that is what I do.
