    Still having starting issues. Glow plugs not working. Changed everything I can think of PLease Help

    I see you’ve had some recent issues, and have swapped out a bunch, but don’t know the current configuration of PCB’s. The glow plug controller seems to be partially working, as it’s sensing temp, but have you Ohmd out all the leads from it? It’s something easy, but you need to be methodical...

    What have you done to your MKT this week???

    Those plugs are not easily found cheaply if I remember. It’s easier to go to the plastic power connector. I used these to hookup a 24v power brick when using one outside the MKT. Hope this link works for you. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/mkt-power-cords.165876/post-1989592 A bit...

    Which NOCO Genius Charger for MEP-803A?

    Yes, I have those 2 bank ones. They rock, BUT be very aware they are 8 amp total. Probably not enough for our big trucks unless it's just maintaining them. Each side is 4A a piece, so not a lot of charging capability. The NOCO G7200 is 12V lead is 7.2A, and 3.6A in 24v lead. I use the 2...

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    Hi Glen! I’ve thought about you and the yard several times and the fun I had pulling there. I suggest every member who goes through the area, stop and see Glen, he’s definitely one of the coolest guys. Trucks or no trucks, grab him some burgers from Cozy Inn and talk to a really down to earth...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I did curbside pickup at Carrabba’s. They don’t have “3 color camo” as a car color when you order online. I asked about changing the website to accommodate the HMMWV color scheme, they didn’t get it.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Guess I didn't know that the A1 wheel won't work with that defeat, now I know why mine wasn't working. I thought I was just slow.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Oil change and tightened up the transmission pan. 12 ft / lbs is not a lot, but the bolts tightened up, hopefully that will stop my minor drips that seem to have developed over the past couple of months. I did notice that when reversing and applying brakes it felt like more noise then when...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    That looks very CTIS to me, like a speed sensor. You’re going to have to trace that guy, it looks like it’s coming off the wet tank? And someone here had a signature attributed to another member. Something like “any good repair starts with staring at it like an idiot for a good half an hour”...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Checked HOA docs, just like my city code it’s 72 hours of being in a spot not moved or two week if I am on vacation, it’s abandoned and three have the right to tow it at my expense. I drive it every two or three days so I’m good there. Well, I don’t think it’s the noise, several neighbors...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Well, I guess I made some new friends. Found this note tucked in on the door hinge. Truck is parked on the road, registered and insured. Don’t you just love your neighbors? And that isn’t nail polish on my thumb! Slammed it in the car door trying to close it carefully so I wouldn’t...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Moved it around while jockeying space in the garage, and discovered a transmission oil drop about a dime size and a diesel drop about a quarter that appears to be around the tank. Truck has been sitting in that spot for about two months. Inspection time..

    Indianapolis HMMWV Project

    Get the grounding harness done before messing with the EESS. Bad stuff can happen there without it. And make sure you're disconnecting the battery before working on the glow plug system. Maybe coincide with a battery disconnect switch. Do all of this before replacing that box. It's a...

    Soft Top Ambulance cover?

    If it’s for the goats, can a mod move this over to their forum? I don’t want anyone to miss out if they want one..

    Soft Top Ambulance cover?

    Saw this on Craigslist, and it's close to me. These are not mine. Not sure if these are even HMMWV tops. Only picture they have. Wanted to pass this along just in case they are. $150 feels like a good price. Let me know if I can help someone out..

    Welcome. The top, soft doors and the seats probably aren't that bad of an expense. Hard doors is another story. Focus on getting it running. Congrats!

    7" Jeep LED headlight install

    This is what they look like when you tear them open. It's amazing what acrylic optics and tiny LEDs can do. This is what a headlight looks like when the capacitor blows. The EBay ad. DO NOT hook up the DRL, halo eyes, just the high, low and ground...

    7" Jeep LED headlight install

    7" Jeep LED headlight install I agree, these are very bright. I hooked these up and was pretty happy with them until I messed with the halo and turn light feature. DO NOT hook the halo or turn signal wires up. I blew the capacitors in them in 2 seconds flat, leaving strange results...
