I've been running these Truck-Lite headlights for a couple of years now and love them. They're much brighter and have a very nice illumination pattern to them than the other LEDs that I've seen. Their 27270C headlights are pricey but I feel they're worth the price. I don't know if it makes a...

Forget all the expensive 6TLs and go with 24Fs. The hold down bracket will work with them and they're available everywhere. Same CCA as the 6TLs at a fraction of the price.

Regarding the use of the RT-524 or any military radio. While listening (or monitoring) is fine, to transmit on it you should be a licensed amateur radio operator and even then you can only use a very small segment of it's frequency range. The 6 meter amateur radio band is 50.00 Mhz thru 53.90...

Hello Ray and welcome. I've been running an M996A1 ambulance for about 20 years now and love it every time I take it out. Right now It's configured as a camper and I have one of the small field desks in it that I use as a kitchen box to keep everything neat. Chez lounge pads work well as...

Wishing a safe and enjoyable day to all those service members both past and present that gave us the trucks we all love.

With the huge number of HMMWVs that have sat out in the Yermo sunshine for years without the benefit of their fuel filler caps is it any wonder there tons of crud in the tanks? One of the very first thing any new HMMWV owner should focus on doing is flushing ALL the fluids and replacing belts...

They're called drive rivets that look like small twisted nails. McMaster-Carr sells them.

That's the same toolbag used in all the M151 jeeps and there's a jillion of them out there in canvas and vinyl for cheap! I used one of them to recover the attendants seat in the ambulance body. You want to make sure you get the correct size lug wrench and that hubcap pry tip on the end will...

You can always put a hasp and staple on that battery box lid to keep the curious out................

Starter manual:

The schematics are in the back of the TM 9 2320 280-20-3 manual. All the TMs for the HMMWV are available to download for free on the web with an easy search. The heavy power leads are self evident where they go so I'm assuming you lost the positions of the smaller leads. They should all have...

This is what happens when you try to do more than one thing at a time with mechanical switches built by the lowest bidder. What ever happened to hydraulic switches that activated when they felt pressure? Separate the two functions and let pressure turn on the brake lights and let the...

Chances are that the 50 ohm, 50 watt resistor in the regulator circuit has come apart. It's the only piece of the regulator assembly that can be repaired outside of replacing the complete regulator. If you PM me I can send you one. Other than that replacing the regulator itself isn't that...

Wiring diagram is in the back of the TM 9 2320-280-20-3 manual. They're the same so any one will do

Something that caught me by surprise was the gasket on the fuel seperator housing split and the system was sucking air. After changing the fuel pump I've always used a small vacuum pump to precharge the system by drawing a vacuum on the petcock outlet of the water seperator down in the drivers...

Dash ground point. When I put mine back together I used a long 1/4" stainless setscrew and put a star washer and a nut on both sides. That way I could remove either one by myself without having to have another person to hold the opposite side.

The issues that Cam and Jason bring up are all good ones and justification in my mind for the supplemental grounding harness. It bonds together the control box, the body ground stud behind the dash, the alternator, the block and the starter and if nothing else it gets people to at least look...

This is what I did for internal power and USB support. I used an extruded aluminum channel and added a circuit breaker, a dual USB charge outlet (to the left of the 12 meter) , 12 and 24v gauges , a cigarette lighter outlet, and a voltage dropper inside. It all fits nicely under the top shelf...

One of the nicest things about the HMMWV is the number of variations out there. Two door, four door, no door, high back, low back, no back, slant back, helmut top, radio box,ambulance. Basically you can turn it into anything you want it to be. Cam is correct though that no matter what you end...
