    HMMWV Generator / Alternator substitute

    Hummer H1 has done this swap on several of his vehicles. You should PM him.

    Holy hell 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    Not an unheard of issue with 6.5 DS4 Hummers and trucks. Old Toyota BJ fuel cutoffs also liked to fail. You should definitely drive in my rigs. You sold me one, and besides where is your sense of adventure??? You wanna live forever?

    I’ve had three runaways Steve. One gas and two Toyota Diesels. Two automatic trannies and one manual on a Toyota Diesel. Gasser was TH400. This is what I did, and zero trannies were noticeably damaged. So much for MMQ. 😕

    Hi Steve! How’s it going? Hoping to visit in March. re.: Runaways… Runaway engine is runaway engine. It’s about to explode. Tranny rebuild is cheap in comparison. If you can’t cut the fuel or if the engine starts sucking oil, what else are you going to do aside from emptying a CO2 or...

    Shift into reverse from drive at 30MPH will kill the engine. Always a good thing to remember with runaway engines. I’ve done it in other vehicles.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Fuel line is just behind the doghouse. Just mount the device on or behind the doghouse for easy access while sitting in the cab. Also, if you kill power to shut off and that doesn’t work, you need to turn power back on to activate the switch. Adding one more step during an emergency is never good.

    I’m thinking of ball valve manual. East, reliable, no electric gremlins.

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    Just purchase round Jeep headlight and don’t hook up the outer circle lights. If you want the outer circles you need a 12-24V power inverter. The lights themselves are ok, but will need packard plug wire connectors that can be stolen from the old lights ($60).

    What Do These Wires Do?

    Download the free TM at the top of this forum. Then look for the silver tag numbers on the wires and cross reference with the TMs.

    Humvee won’t pull large tree but f350 does

    HummerH1 just used his n/a to pull a stump. Looked ridiculously easy.

    Humvee won’t pull large tree but f350 does

    No way a HMMWV with between 5&6:1 relative gear ratio plus functioning transfer case in low would be unable to pull the tree stump or the F350 unless something is wrong.
