    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    As an explanation of Mogman post, you keep cracking injector fuel lines until you find the one that does not affect the cadence/tap. The bad injector line can’t push fuel through so loosening it can’t affect the engine rhythm.

    Cooling system upgrades

    Respectfully… 1-Military cooling upgrade kit requires pixie dust and Elvin magic. AMG woulda done it if it worked. 2-Unless your hydraulic system is missing or busted, nothing is wrong with the HMMWV cooling system as-is. That viscous system posted is only 80% maximal. Cannot lock up. It will...

    Log of my 1995 Hummer

    Today I swapped in new LED headlights. My vehicle had some type of upgrade. Halogen or Xenon. I have pictures. There was an energizer on the back of the lights and an extra power plug with a strange connector. It provided crap illumination. I swapped in Amazon $60 headlights I bought years ago...

    Log of my 1995 Hummer

    As a favor to Tor, I drove to deliver a replaced part from Tor to my friend George. Tor worked on his truck and replaced the steering gear. George owns three Hummer H1’s. Turned into a Hummer jamboree and photo op.

    Log of my 1995 Hummer

    Shaking her out, driving to work. New brakes catch/pulsate. Gonna see if a little wear smoothes them out. A/C drips. Gonna wait on fixing that until Autumn. Gonna rip off the rusting brush guard and weld up a new better one soon. Rusting roof rack has gotta go. I’ll keep the feet and weld up...

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    Ok. In the future, always post the year of your vehicle and the transmission type and engine type. Might be good to put it in your signature. You have a turbo hydromatic 400. Totally mechanical transmission. That is the most bulletproof transmission ever manufactured by GM. Make sure your...

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    Very low transmission fluid will do the same thing. Burnt out clutch pads will do the same thing. Best is to fill to full and follow the Tammy TM as previously posted for you.

    Where is the Transmission Control valve located?

    1-ensure transfer case is not in “L” 2-look up tranny tm and jumper J2 port A-E and write down the codes. (You will understand what I am talking about once you read the technical manual.) https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/4l80e-transmission-troubleshooting-tcm-supplement_7-pdf.903367/

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Great work and awesome photos. I know what you mean about not enough hands. Years ago I confronted my parents as to why they never spent the extra moneys to have additional factory OEM arms with hands attached. Apparently they were pinching pennies as a young couple. I was a JC Penny blue...

    M1123 A2 Power Steering return line blowing off

    Agree with Mogman. New line that is 2” longer. New clamps. Make sure you route the hose properly some nothing catches on it. I suspect the inside of that hose has been ripped up from pulling off several times and the inner diameter is too wide. I also suspect this happened before so they cut...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Fine small files and 200 grit sandpaper. Dilute Muriotic acid. New brushes. I’m certain you’ll do a great job of it. Please shoot some pictures.

    Keyed Switch

    These are known to fail. “Search” is your friend.

    Humvee won’t start, no wait light

    Get rid of the keyed ignition! Make sure you get power at the ignition wires. Clean and check your battery connections.

    STARTING A NEW BUILD WASTE OF TIME EFFORT AND MONEY

    Please stop posting in all caps. That is considered shouting and is against TOS on this forum.

    It's alive!!!

    Are you certain your red fuel contains ATF and that no one used heating oil instead of Diesel fuel? Heating oil and offroad Diesel fuel are red.

    It's alive!!!

    TNDRIVER is correct but left out the most important step. Jack the vehicle up so that it is at least 15 degrees elevated front over back. Then start the vehicle and turn the front wheels right locked to left and then left to right lock, 20 times. Then put the vehicle down and let it sit for two...

    HMMWV air and temp controls

    You can easily straighten those with a little time and TLC, if the inner cables are not frozen.
