Been experiencing the new norm so a delay in getting stuff put on the web. Swapped out rear Geared Hub Seals and replaced Rear Halfshafts.
Then did some dash refurbishment
Just need some new screws to make the hardware look good
Weather guessers were wrong and a fine day was had in Northern Virginia (No rain). Finished with the reinstall! Yes I took the pic then realized I hadn't fixed the free spool handle (pic is wrong but the truck is right).
Winch works fine but have not tried under a load yet. All in about $900...
Oops Should look like this Also have to fix the free spool handle.
Had to cut the mount to get the winch to fit, and got in a rush to get the winch in place and forgot how the handle pointed till after all the bolts were tightened. I had pictures as a reference, just didn't use the...
So it was 67 degrees in NOVA today and I got to work on the winch some more. Its fully assembled and when it went back in it DID NOT fit. New electric motor has different electrical connection locations and there was an interfacing issue
FYI make sure to torque the bolts, else you'll get to do that job again. I used 35 lbs/ft and all went well (not so true with 25 that I used first time around).
Nice looking Rig!!!
I have installed a backup camera but I put it on an overhead dash (B pillar to front windshield) so I can take it out if needed. I leave mine on all the time and it helps in lane changes very well. There are lots of ways to get the add-ons you want do the searches to see...
Don't count on the tags to be there. I have the MWO 20-4 (steering column bracket), 35-1 (Parking Brake upgrade), 35-2 (3 point seatbelts) completed on my '86 and only had 1 MWO Tag that was painted over. Trust but verify.
Nice looking truck! Enjoy the madness.
That's the right size for the Fire Extinguisher part (nozzle holder I think) That screws to a plate that mounts to the front legs of the drivers seat. I am not sure where the blue and white light go, maybe an ambulance set up? Not sure. Is your rig a Basic or one of the A models?
Looks like part of the Basic HMMWV Fire extinguisher mount. Goes on the plate under the driver seat. TM TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 fig 241. Or just look up HMMWV fire extinguisher. Welcome to the group!
Hey Gunny,
Welcome to the insanity. We are down in Va Beach visiting, but will be back in Manassas this weekend. I have a FLIR camera we can use to see if the radiator is blocked or not and check to see where the hot spots are to aide in T/S, if you're interested? Mama and I did a water...
For the stickers and plates reference TM 9-2320-280-24p-2 figure 354 and the following pages with the part numbers. If you search on the part numbers (5th column) there are a lot of vendors. I kept looking till I found an "Equipment" site that had 90% of what I wanted and just ordered from...
Well, testing proved the solenoids were shot as well. Putting 24v to motor terminals drives the motor which moved the main shaft to turn the winch in and out. New solenoid assembly was less than $200. In for a penny, why not in for more. Not sure where costing stands on this repair, I'm...
Found what was stopping the free spool. Not the rust marks on the shaft that coincide with where the drum bushings sit
The end with the darker band is the non clutch end of the drum
the brass colored gear sits over the keys, the gear housing has a bushing and then the drum bushing was on the...
