    Fan Clutch

    There are only 2 series of manuals for the HMMWV. The first set covers all trucks from the first ones to the A2 series, which includes the M1123. The second set of manuals covers the ECV/REV trucks. The M1123 is the same an an M1097A2 truck, with the main exceptions being it doesn't have the...

    M200A1 - Commercial Generator Fit?

    I doubt you will find a commercial generator that perfectly lines up with the existing mounting holes, but stranger things have happened. What commercial generator are you talking about? You're asking such a generic question that it's impossible to give a good answer to it. You have 43"...

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    Yes, he is definitely a reputable source. MacMotors is another, along withKascar and genuinehumveeparts.com/ There are some more, but those are the main ones.

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    unplugging the cadillac valve engaged the fan, so that eliminated the cadillac valve as the problem. Unplugging the Thermostat switch didn't make the fan engage, and you tested the switch itself and had continuity cold and open when hot, so it tested good. The only other thing in the system that...

    Fan not engaging at temps over 220

    If it isn't the temp switch, then it's the TDM. The fan fails to engaged, so it has to have power to it to turn off. Only two sources of power are temp switch and TDM. If it's not the temp switch, it's the TDM (provided everything is wired how it's supposed to be; I always feel the need to add...

    Is there a separate parts manual for the ECV M1165A1 parts?

    6 looks like it's the roof assembly itself. 24 appears to be the overhang or "gutter" as it's often referred to.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    all true, but I'm more concerned about what the actual voltage is at the batteries with the gauge sitting right at the top of the green. If it's 29V or below, then the little spikes up above that shouldn't be of particular issue. If it's above that, depending on your battery type, you might...

    Is there a separate parts manual for the ECV M1165A1 parts?

    Do you have the 1998 version of the parts manual or the 2002 updated one? I did a search for the part numbers you listed above, and they aren't in the manual. Then a web search to find the NSN for them. 12480837 is NSN 9535-01-548-6632 12480838 is NSN 9535-01-548-6633 The NSN shows up in the...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Don't trust the gauges. Using a multimeter, what voltage are the batteries reading while all of this is happening?

    Jump Start Hmmwv?

    I was under the impression that a generator is capable of dealing with completely dead batteries which is why the military uses them instead of alternators, which do NOT like trying to charge them when completely dead. I know I've helped replace alternators in vehicles with failed batteries...

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    That one doesn't have a panel for the straps; those straps are hooked to loops installed on the tailgate itself.

    Introduction & a warning

    I believe I read on one of the articles about it the idea was to bring lighter versions up to snuff to where they would be able to have armor bolted to them if needed; so all of them became the heavy variant no matter what it started life as.

    Question re: Half Shaft install

    I believe that it's an adapter to go to the flare type seal from the pipe threads in the caliper body. (I believe it's pipe threads, might be some other type of seal, but pretty sure you need it to keep from leaking)

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I first read that as 46.25 oz of weights not 46 x 1/4oz weight and thought something was seriously wrong. 12 oz out of balance is a lot, but still within realistic amounts. As I said in my recent post, one of mine was 9 1/2 oz out of balance. Still, yikes.

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    The X2's are manufactured by NorthStar, which was purchased a few years back by EnerSys, which also owns the Odyssey brand battery as well. They are probably the single best battery manufacturer in North America. They are a big name in off grid and standby batteries, and I have no reservations...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    spray some soapy water to find out. Even a slow leak will generate bubbles. Better to verify that it actually is the O-ring leaking than do all the work only to find a pinhole in the tire or rim (unlikely, but not impossible)

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    one thing though, you don't want batteries that are any taller than the 6T series. Too tall and they don't fit properly under the seat base/battery box cover, and you increase the risk of shorting them out or damaging them. 6T is 9" high, so nothing taller than that.

    M998/HMMWV REPLACEMENT BATTERIES

    I always tell people it depends on how you plan to use the truck. If it's going to stay pretty much always on roads and within cell phone/tow truck range, then run whatever you feel comfortable with. 650+CCA and a decent reserve capacity is all you need in all but the most extreme conditions...

    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    What I'm writing below this might come across as a little rude, which is not my intent, but sometimes it's just how to get a point across. From an outside viewpoint, you came in here, told the expert that has no reason why he should help you that his advice was wrong and that you know better...

    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    You sure it was a 400 amp that you had to lift out? The 200 amp generator weighs about 70 lbs. The 400 amp generator is over 110 lbs.
