    Hi Back Driver & Commander seat conversion - Military 12446950

    Cant find anything related to the 3220 kit. Just reference back to the 0290 kit page. I know I didnt install one It seems like its for M996/M997 and a few other variants. Not the M998, though. Installing the seat kit looks complicated in the instructions but if you only work on one step at...

    Peel and Seal Type Flashing for Sound Deadening

    I doubt it will last long on the underside of the body. Ive used that cheap stuff from home deeps on my M1009 under new rubber flooring/padding and it made a difference. I would suggest putting it on the inside covering the hottest and most resonant areas of the floor and tunnel and then top...

    Humvee Fan Fighting with Thermostat? (almost always on but temps are good)

    Sounds like the way mine ran. Never stayed on long enough to get the temp down that far. Running steady above 40 would get the temp up to the 220 mark and the fan would kick on for a minute or two then cut off before the temp gauge had a chance to move. After a lag of a minute or two, it would...

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    The noise....the ridiculous amount of fan noise...and the power loss is irritatingly noticeable in stop and go traffic. You dont want to overcool the engine either. No matter the weather. Viscous fan clutches are really the best overall solution if, like you say, you don't need the fording...

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    It would help to know which belt system you have...V-belts, or Serpentine. The viscous clutch AND the fan need to be clockwise rotation for V-belts and Counterclockwise rotation for serpentine. The fan is 19"

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    Have you considered retrofitting a conventional viscous fan clutch off of an H1? Thats my plan if my OEM hydraulic ever cacked out. I bought a NOS H1 clutch and a derale 19" blade that fits the shroud opening to be installed when the time comes

    Speedometer Adapter Failure

    That's the main point of failure in my experience with speedometer cables. Last one I did the angle adapter seized up and snapped the #25 stub shaft. I Think that little shaft acts as a "fuse" in the cable drive. Got a new piece(#25) and opened up the angle drive to clean and re-lube. Good...

    RPM engages clutch fan?

    I would at least inspect it to look for it being bent or boogered up, bad wires/connectors, and test that it switches continuity when you put the pedal to the floor. Since its one of the components of the fan clutch activation system, you might as well check it and eliminate it as a cause. And...

    RPM engages clutch fan?

    Its in the valley of the engine near the injection pump and throttle cable area. It has a little white plastic wheel that is part of the switch.

    RPM engages clutch fan?

    Maybe the fan fording switch is out of adjustment? Should only switch continuity when at wide open throttle.

    RPM engages clutch fan?

    Whats the generator output voltage at idle? When revved? What are the individual batteries voltages when not running? Is there any breaks in the wiring, or ground path that may be affected by the revving/torqueing of the engine? Maybe P/S fluid pressure problem? Just trying to think of out...

    Observations from first time on the road

    How did you check the tires for out of round? I would do this...take it to a decent tire shop and have them try to balance the tires. When each one is on the balancer, you can ask to look at the whole wheel/tire assembly as you rotate it by hand on the true plane of the wheel flange. You will...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You dont say!

    RPM engages clutch fan?

    Id wait and see. When you get the sensor and switch, replace the temp sensor first and try running it and see if it goes away or not. Then replace the TDS and run it again to confirm a fix. Report your findings. I'm sure we are all curious about the country of origin of your replacement parts...

    Rear fender condenser to Red Dot install thread

    Most excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for those. I can eliminate some of my more crackpot ideas of how to mount the evap. Theres just not enough room to do much of anything different with that red dot setup in the two man configuration.
