    Humvee won't start

    JUST a guess... Biased on data and NO red herring's... IP is not playing nice. Having just purchased it and with my luck, it's coming off and going for a ride back to TN. You need fuel (a very little showing up at the injectors) when turning over engine. Try at a few more times with a wait...

    Humvee won't start

    Is your thumb calibrated to 3 to 6 PSI ?? I don't know ? So a guage would tell the real story. Flow too. Fill up a soda bottle half way in about 20 seconds of cranking. Now that's a test, LOL A lot of testing IM bs O... should have been done shortly after receiving said truck. Starting at...

    Humvee won't start

    Power to the top...Good. Means nothing if solenoid is open, HI resistance, KAput. Did they re-build it for 24 volts? My free guess here. Double check for the 24 volts at 54 lead under load of solenoid. Pierce wire, tap in and test again. IMO and history reading here....Based on the...

    Received 2002 M1097A2 for firetruck build - looking for advice

    MOGMAN I think CAMO has measured the curve on that sending unit not sure but maybe he will chime in. I do have a question ?? Has the systems been flushed really good. I have seen rusted up systems with more crud, less coolant, lol I have a minute and searched past posts. Let your fingers to...

    Is this all I need? M1097A2

    Later trucks used a flex line, or so it goes. Made brake / pad replacement easier. Mine has a hard line with a 3-4 inch diameter coil of a 1 1/2 loop out by the caliper. Like the one on the left side. Don't have the P/N maybe left and rights. That the breaks from, CAMO

    How To Repair HMMWV EESS S3

    There's a good chance plugs are toast. Just replacing them and could have more toast. These cold mornings coming up and there will be a lot of toast on the HumV table. Other choices are pancakes, waffles or a muffin. Make the call, CAMO

    What Causes Fuel Tank Collapse?

    Yes it is... But haven't seen or heard of this before in a HumV. Not saying it could not have happen this way. Those cheesy fuel pump lucky to draw fuel up... Just saying. To have that happen really sucks, CAMO

    What Causes Fuel Tank Collapse?

    So... you are saying that the fuel pump caused the tank to for a better word.... imploded the way it did? That's a hell of a pump or a clog, CAMO

    Upper vs lower driver's mirror

    Something doesn't look right. I don't recall the big "C" bracket that far forward? This shouldn't be that wack. Next question...where did one get the mirror? Snap a picture of the windshield brackets. Does mirror have a label, "Trash cans may be closer that they look" CAMO

    Registering in Colorado

    What a bunch of BS is all I got to say. The last sentence should make owners feel good about governmental control. " The DMV apologizes for any inconvenience." What a way to start the day. CAMO

    Arrival of 2nd HMMWV M1151A1

    Smart box

    First off... Camoteksystems is not a game. Second, cause and effect of cascading components is more than likely as stated above. One can see that the HEXFETS are toasted in the picture. ? is that the controller? Third, the resistor in question is an 100 ohm, 5 %, 1/2 watt. Fourth, basically a...

    Yes, It can / does happen. Riding around in a HumV has its own fun factor. (y) Mine is in great running shape, trusting it to go anywhere. Funny part, likely do the same time riding around on a mechanics creeper... checking this and that LOL. It is a education from the bottom up of the...
