    New to Steelsoldiers and pending EUC a HMMWV owner

    From the auction photos I would say you definitely need to look at your geared hub seals. Looks like some moisture there. Nice looking rig though! Probably got the price you did because of the Tampa Bay Bucks sticker:p

    Ran a bolt thru the base and they hold great... A 1 liter of Mountain Dew at 55mph is well within the capabilities of these babies![thumbzup]

    pic 1 and pic 2 With engine running and cold, disconnect the 2 wire connector between time delay module and Cadillac valve. You should hear a noticeable difference and see the fan clutch move (pic 1) about 1/4". It moves in and out as that wire is connected and disconnected. If it doesn't...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What I used, maybe $20 worth of parts. 1/4" NPT but depends on the threads of the gauge you buy. Your gauge should be min 160 psi as it takes a lot of pressure to release the fan clutch. Mine tested at 25 psi engaged and ~130psi disengaged.

    Reverse Lights Wiring

    There isn't a wire waiting for you but you do have power there to splice into...gear selector light I think is how some do it. Probably better to pull the unit (clean and lube it) and that rubber boot can get roached. It's a 2 man job to get that unit out...4 bolts hold it in but unless you...

    HMMWV Power Steering Whine

    Humvee Speed

    i don't think the op was talking about highway speed. It was acceleration compared to other hmmwv's in their family. You are prob very family with the things that may affect acceleration in a hmmwv...why not help the guy out and give him some things to check or maybe teach him something about...

    Humvee Speed

    driver's side, the two wire connector. Plug it in then unplug it. If your fan clutch isn't stuck you will see it move about 1/4".

    Where can I find Floor Insulation?

    I measured the samples I have and (2) of them are 3/8" and the center one is 9/16". Definitely not OEM density or thickness.
