    Rocking back and forth

    Cheap ass Texan beer. :funny: Lots of backlash going on in all the things that go round and round, including big fat tires. If this HumV's Rocking, were just about stopping, CAMO

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    Just reviewed the pressure gauge photos. This is just a BIG FAT GUESS and free. What if the spring in the clutch was a wonky and the disconnect valve shown with 20 PSI static pressure was high enough not to release. Going down the rabbit hole, CAMO Some tum wong in da motor city. Wait...

    Best passenger mirror location

    IMO... The whole mirror lash up is suckie. Big fat mirrors off the A pillar angled waaay forward, viewed thur the windshield as one peeks thru / around to see. That's the common fit-up and one need to LOOK TWICE when making any maneuver. HUGE blind spots and with flat glass windshield...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    I read where you applied voltage and all was good. Fan DISENGAGED. If one of the TDM had a "melt down" I bet you have an intermittent "shorted or shorting" solenoid coil. Multimeter and REAL data to figure out problem or just keep "shot gunning" from the wallet. IS this a TEST? I HOPE not...

    Yea... and that too. Wonkie thermostat. That could do it. BUT but but... all the other problems. Shorted then changing solenoids, smoked TDM...get to 200 degrees (going in the right direction) day later fan sticks on. Changes parts like a card dealer change decks in Las Vegas and is not a...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    Make no sense to me based on the story. Here's what I extracted and know (just barely)..... Gauges are notorious for inaccurate readings. When you get a good set working (gauge and sender) count your lucky charms. Not really that bad... but be aware of a wonkie components. This is just an...

    Wipers question

    Did you change motor and by chance put the drive paw indexed wrong? Now out of sync with stop position. Disconnect mechanics at motor and cycle motor to stop position. Place wipers in the stop position. Fussing with motor reconnect paw and cross fingers. It's a puzzle. What else did you...
