About a month ago I picked up a Mile Marker 10,500 winch. At some point the solenoid valve got damaged and the solenoids coils were broken off. The guy said he had a new valve to fix it and it came with the winch. The winch itself looks like it has never had the cable spooled out but was...

I don't know what you are looking for but this is worth a read ... https://www.flhsmv.gov/pdf/bulletins/2016/ta_rstl16-026.pdf Doesn't look good. However I have no idea what they allow.

There are 4 or 5 different engines and 2 or 3 different transmissions used as "stock" on the HMMWV's depending on year and if you count the Duramax (we won't). The engine is going to have little to do with your top speed. They all turn the same RPM, some just get to that RPM faster than...

If the ones in your picture fit I see no reason you can't use those. The pad design is slightly different but overall they look like would fit from what I can see.

Wow that would be great. I wonder what they did for the light control? Also wonder if they change the motor on the hydraulics for 24v?

People often mistake forums for public locations that allow for Free Speech however a forum is Privately owned and not subject to Free Speech. Just like if you go into someones house and spout off at them. Your "Free Speech" will get you thrown out. Same here.

It only takes 1 quick stop situation. Doesn't happen every day but when it does.....

I recently went the less expensive route and found some cheap Subaru seats. With a little modification and making some brackets they would have gone in. I had them test fitted. What I noticed was since the seat base had higher sides to the cushion it was hard to easily get in and out...

Before you pull them out (or even after they are changed) grab them firmly from the front and see if you have any movement in them. With the rubber mounts it should have some flex. If it seems rock solid then the bucket is tight to the hood and you should really have longer isolation mounts...

Cool, Mounted my plate in the same location. I'd like to find some original plow push plate but they are probably impossible to find. I'll end up making my own.

Well that would be helpful feedback. How much is a lot? I don't expect to be putting a lot of miles/time on the truck and probably less at night in general. I'm hoping it will be a good plow truck and that will likely use plow lights when I plow at night. Are they a quick high failure rate...

Well I'm not looking for vindication of what I have done but I have been the only who has posted to the thread in 3 weeks, with zero responses. I though some of it might be helpful or useful information, maybe inspire some feedback. It seemed like there wasn't any interest and I'm not posting...

Since there doesn't seem to be much interest in this thread it will probably be my last update. I mentioned in a previous post that I purchased some visors and they wouldn't fit because of the extra hard top brackets. Today I started looking at how to mount them. It actually was pretty easy...

The likelihood of all 4 breaking at the same time is low HOWEVER if 1 breaks all the breaking force that wheel was applying is now transferred to the remaining 3 brakes. That is an increase in workload of 33% which is likely to break another half shaft. Then you are down to just 2 doing the...

If I'm not mistaken the tow capacity of the HMMWV was around 3400 lbs. I have a curb weight in the 5500 pound range and a payload weight of 3200. The tongue weight should not exceed the payload weight. With that said, the HMMWV was not used to tow tanks around, they would more likely have...

In a prior post I mentioned that I replaced my headlights with OEM Military LED Trucklights. When I mounted them the studs were too short. There are 2 reasons for this. The first is simply the stud length is shorter than the original standard headlights. Also the housing design has a...

I came across a local company/guy that has some of these seats NOS, identical to the kit in your picture. The price was reasonable compared to the $1000 + shipping regularly found on the auction site. So I bought a set today and started the install. Total of 43 rivets drilled out and the new...

You have picked the wrong vehicle for the application. It will never do what you are asking safely as it was never intended for that. In stock form is has a towing capacity of around 4000 lbs. I suspect you don't understand the drivetrain at all. The hubs are all gears at 1.91:1, if you...

I was going for 96 but I'm lisdexic.
