Vehicle fatalies have actually been on a steady decline since the 80's: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year#/media/File%3AUS_traffic_deaths_per_VMT%2C_VMT%2C_per_capita%2C_and_total_annual_deaths.png

I don't disagree with any of this. But also consider that the humvee does not have air bags. So in the event it DOES rollever, even if less likely, its not going to be a fun time for the occupants. Additionally, humvees don't have stability control and most don't have antilock brakes. So when...

I seem to have ruffled some feathers, I am not an expert but I have observed some things that indicate that humvees have a high rollover risk. The first thing is this sticker which is on every humvee I've seen: Also a quick google search will show a lot of rolled over humvees: The...

Under "status" it says "undefined." Under "sent to DLA" it is blank. I'm assuming there is supposed to be a date there, but there is nothing. Mine is also a USMC truck.

My SF97 request form was submitted on 7/19/22 and I'm still waiting. When I log into my govplanet account and check the status, it just says "undefined." There is a section that says "sent to DLA" which is blank. Is this normal?

If you accept the risk then go for it, but your vehicle will be less safe especially when cornering at speed.

Yep, its amps that burn things up not watts. This is why circuit breakers are rated in amps. Wire is also rated for amps based on what guage it is. It's pretty common for wire to be rated for 600 volts, and its the same amperage rating whether its carrying 1 volt or 600 volts. In fact this is...

I would not remove the sway bar from a vehicle that has a tendency to roll over.

For what its worth, he got me full coverage with a $30k replacement value for about $550 a year.

I just got a cat scan, and unfortunately for you all, I'm going to live 😂 I did have to get 6 staples in my head though. 🤕

Currently in the ER. Was working underneath the open rear hatch of my m1151. Its a very heavy door, I dont know, 200 pounds? Unfortunately my truck only came with one gas strut not 2, and apparently the door is too heavy for one strut to hold it up. Long story short, one of the studs on the...

I just went through all this trying to insure my 2007. Got turned down by JC Taylor and Hagerty, and hit a dead end with State Farm. I finally called a guy named Devin Ransom who has his own insurance agency and specializes in humvees (he owns one himself). Devin was super helpful and got me a...

Was it in park, or drive?

Excuse my ignorance, but this seems like a lot of work to eliminate one battery. There are plenty of ways to run 12v accessories on the 24v system, I'm not really seeing the appeal of this conversion?

Mine had the set screw, but it was so corroded on there I had to destroy the wiper pivots to get them off. Word of advice: if you have to remove the wiper pivots, disconnect the linkage from the inside before attempting to unscrew the large nut on the outside. I didnt do that and it turned a...

Of course I didn't! Lol

I had a check valve fail on a jeep once. When you shut the vehicle off, the fuel would eventually run back into the tank and you'd lose your prime. The next time you tried to start it, it would take considerable time for the fuel to fill the lines again. What check valve(s) are on the humvee...

Got the reverse switch installed on my shifter. What a pain in the ass! Took two people and multiple socket extensions to get the 4 shifter bolts out, then getting it back together was even harder. They sure don't make those 4 nuts on the underside easy to get to! They should have used rivnuts...

Good suggestion on the fan, I'll inspect the clutch and see if its working. I have no clue about the thermostat, but that was my first thought. Its an auction truck so who knows. Honestly I'm not sure how to diagnose a stuck open thermostat other than by observing the symptoms. I could remove...

I ended up driving it around the backyard (yes you read that right) for about 20 minutes and it finally got into the middle-ish of the green zone on the thermostat. But as soon as I stopped and let it idle again, the temp came down to the lowest part of the green band. Seems like it just wants...
