I also thought about fixing BUT my fear with fixing is that the part is weakened and will leak from somewhere else. I plan on camping in the desert off the grid with this rig. I would prefer not to become a statistic.
Oil and tranny fluid is not caustic… why do these damned things develop leaks???
I have the same issue. I’m thinking of using Ford F350 oil coolers to reduce the costs of replacement.
I’m not driving a 24000 lb vehicle through the desert so I don’t need super crazy heat radiation. I’m not forking over $1000 for what should be a $250-400 part.
Andyrv6av8r made one…
Post 4048 “what have you done lately” thread.
4051 has his partial parts list.
He posted elsewhere regarding his build BUT it is eluding me. I just woke up and I’m still rubbing the sleep from my eyes...
A lot of reasons here. It is possible your lift pump has failed. It is possible to check valves are giving you trouble. If the problem goes away when you have a full tank of fuel, it is most likely the lift pump.
Traditional HMMWV mirrors suck. Hard to adjust passenger side without assistant. Big. Blocky. Shaky. essentially they are the same mirrors on 1960’s school buses.
It’s not about looks, it is about function. Any modern retractable mirror is an improvement IMHO.
Why use a power inverter? If you have a four speed transmission you can use the 12 V circuit to power everything.
Seems like the issue might be the inverter???
If the bulbs are 12/24, then you might not even need the inverter.
Thanks Coug. How long will it take to warm food (in minutes or hours) +/or warm enough water to make 4 cups of tea?
My plan is to begin hitting the trails with HummerH1 in the M1165 this January.
You have a second battery system or a capacitor or some type of hidden battery connection somewhere.
Look to see if the prior sirens and lights had a battery system
