    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    Would have been nice to have a narration to the video as I didn't see what your trying to demonstrate. Seeing fan going round and round. Looking for clutch movement and if you were flipping the switch ON / OFF didn't catch it. Maybe my bad eyesight. Now I can't hear after the video, CAMO

    Wait light troubleshooting

    The wait indicator is an LED with a internal 300 ohm current limiting resistor. Wire # 27 is 24 volts from the "RUN" position. The other wire #571 is pulled low (to ground) in the "control box" to illuminate. They can and do go bad. Easy test. Ground the #571 lead to test with IGN switch in...

    Alternator Pulley Alignment 6.2L

    WOW and it didn't wind up some other parts. What AMP rating alternator? Guessing it's a 60. If it is might want to check for a broken mounting ear or the left out spacer. Not a baseball term. Just guessing. Need pictures and more data. Story of your rig and any mods to help figure it out...

    3 speed oil filter help

    Free guessing here...What is the fluid in the air filter? Couldn't see see the bolt clearly. (is it correct never know) Filter does wiggle wobble as shown. Check plastic tube for out of round and cracks. Two O rings OK. Some think a better fit up to not suck air on a bad pick up tube. One...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    Setting in my easy chair and fumbling with the numbers and a beer (putting all the post together) I came to the conclusion that one couldn't blow or suck enough air with ONE "over the counter fan" to do the job in a stock configuration. Kind of a factory HumV guy here... So after playing with...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    Not looking to beat anyone over the head here...so put your kelval on or thinking cap LOL Here in the Mojave Desert, but could be anywhere...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    The statement highlighted above has me thinking 🤔... That's the best thing that could happen if my fan failed... short of snapping the blade off. At least I am driving home with a cool engine ☃. Electric fan ??? blow a fuse, burn up a motor, wire falls off ??? Where's the back-up there? I...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Don't hold me to it.... I read the do nothing third clamp is to keep the canister from resonating. A lot of suction / air going on in there. Kinda of like a girdle on a big girl. Leave it off and parts are going to fall off or out LOL. Follow the TM or be mansplaining to the motor pool SGT...

    Battery Hold Down Rods

    It's a simple "J" bolt. $5 - $6 bucks each. Now the bracket pricing can be a bit pricey for what they are. Shop around $25 to $40 bucks for NOS. Prices just keep going up Up UP, And that's for the simple stuff. I think mine is worth more in parts, LOL. HumV... spelled backwards is DIY, CAMO

    Drilling through rear airlift bumper to mount license plate?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Tent is a CVT Rainier. https://cascadiatents.com/ Not a sales endorsement or affiliation. Those M- series trailers are being built into DIY overland rigs... which might be why the crazy high prices. I bought three years ago NEW out of Barstow $470 +/- each. See utube for all the builds...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately
