    Windshield Retaining Pins & Water Leak

    one thing you might try is using a flashlight at night (or other light source) underneath the dash and look at the outside to see if any light is coming through.

    Windshield Retaining Pins & Water Leak

    By down out of your dash do you mean in the front where the gauges are, or down underneath where your feet are? I know mine poured water down on my feet until I sealed all around the plug for the start box. Open up the hood and see if you see any other holes in that area around the washer...

    For those of you looking for a good battery charger at a good price for 24 volt syst.

    A others have stated, you do need to verify with the manufacturer before trying this with a charger. NOCO has specifically stated that their GEN series of multi bank chargers is safe to do this with. Other brands or series of chargers may NOT be safe to use in this manner. It is MUCH better...

    For those of you looking for a good battery charger at a good price for 24 volt syst.

    I have the noco gen5x2 hardwired into my truck. If the batteries are too low to start it usually only takes a few hours to bring them up (one advantage of NOT having the unnecessarily large 6T batteries)

    if you want to make it work through the slave port this is where to get the slave cable plug. https://graywacke.net/store/interconnect/

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finally got around to mounting the Baja tires I bought from Felts in January. Took them into Les Schwab today to get them balanced. When checking them in, the guy tried to convince me it's a waste of time to try balancing them, and that I'd be better off with some of their balancing product...

    Self Canceling Turn Signal - NOT the wheel ring

    Mine was acting funny, so I ended up removing the pivot piece and have treated it as a non-self cancelling turn signal ever since. It got really annoying that the lever piece would end up pointing straight into the ring posts, effectively trying to jam the steering wheel from turning back

    M149A2 Fix-up Thread

    looking at the pictures it seems like the bottom of the assembly is a different shape than the upper for where the pin is going through, so really not sure if it would still fit in if you tried to flip it upside down. It might work or it might not, but if it were me I wouldn't go into this with...

    Towning home a M1101 I won

    Now that I think about it, there really shouldn't be any A0/A1 trucks left in the military inventory, so getting rid of the M1101 from inventory would also make sense as they were specifically for the earlier trucks with the lower tow rating. Not that there's any physical difference between the...

    Towning home a M1101 I won

    No unit markings on it that I can see (would have been stenciled on the rear unless they've changed something since I was over there) so likely just sat waiting to be needed and never was.

    Question: Add Rear AC to M998 that already has front AC?

    It depends on what compressor you already have, and how much cooling you would like to do. the compressor that comes in the ECV/REV trucks is sized large enough that it can handle the dual condenser/evaporator system. The Red Dot compressor is also pretty big with how much cooling it can do...

    Question: Add Rear AC to M998 that already has front AC?

    Looking at your profile, looks like you have an A1 truck. If you have the 60 amp generator you're pretty much out of luck trying to use any 24V electric units, because they will not have enough cooling to make it worthwhile (ones I was looking at were rated for 10k btu at 60+ amps draw) Not...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    I have a magnetic light (OBulb) stuck to the red dot aircon since it's a steel housing, and when I need light I turn it on.

    Towning home a M1101 I won

    One other thing you might find is the operators manual CD behind one of the front landing legs. I know when I bought my trailer from a guy I know, it looked nearly new, and that CD was still there, so obviously they never used the legs

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What would be the point of this when there are plenty of fender mounted condensers available? Also seems like it would quickly collect a lot of mud/dirt/debris in that location.

    35” Tires

    I don't think I've heard of anyone using smaller tires. Usually it's people asking how big they can go.

    As I hurry up and wait... SHIPPING a HMMWV?

    It's not so much the coffee shop brand, but all the complicated names that people have come up with to order coffee. That shop basically had a dozen flavorings you could add, and only a couple types and sizes of coffee type drinks you could pick from. None of the fancy crap that the snobs up in...

    As I hurry up and wait... SHIPPING a HMMWV?

    I drove through Nevada to get mine. From Olympia it was a 2400 mile 66 hour round trip, with one night in Beatty. They didn't have a starbucks, but the coffee shop guy did have a sense of humor and decent omelets.

    Wiring Question on M1165

    12V uses the same ground as the 24V does

    Purchasing new tires

    Run flats are usually determined by rim type and pressure you're going to run. There are many arguments about it, but it usually boils down to if you are never going to air them down, then the beadlock/runflat assembly isn't absolutely necessary to have, but it's certainly nice if you do get a...
