    Turn signal gremlin(s) on HMMWV

    Adding little tid bits..... Spins a new web.........BOO What do you mean both low and hi at same time. In the lamp bucket you have the larger stop/turn single contact bulb and the single contact smaller tail bulb. Then the BO lamps or LED set. OR are these all LED. Need to figure out when...

    Myth busting- Batteries

    If that was the case.... What good would the slave connector be used for? ⚡ And as to the smart start box... Just plain dumb over kill in a combat truck. IMO Answer: Jumping and charging, CAMO

    Myth busting- Batteries

    Not going to go head to head on battery fails or the history. There is a TON of information. Mostly engineering and standard practices going back 100 years. When one follows the book and with routine operational maintenance batteries can last a very long time. I have seen signal batteries...

    Myth busting- Batteries

    All Solarizers have been sold. All things being equal, as in both batteries production dates/ lot numbers and one or the other hasn't been abused, they should look like one big 24 Volt battery. Equal charging, equal discharging they are in the same bank. There is no reason the battery connect...

    Replaced 200A Alternator showing 40V+ on 24V and 20V+ on 12V

    Do you believe your meter?? Check it against a known source. What does the volt meter read in the gauge cluster? What is the ?? error voltage? didn't say. Do you have the 14 v tap going to the batteries? Is the wait light working and do you get a glow plug activation? Hard to see where...

    Self canceling turn signal ring.

    Switch looks to be pulled towards the steering wheel to the limit. Can you manually cancel a turn by flipping the little wing dingie on the switch. Yep it's in the TM... wing dingie. Anyway the little flipper on the switch that the bullet pin makes contact with, pushing it back over center...

    Fan Solenoid replacement

    Well now the line pressurizes, pumps up and in doing so... SHOULD SEE the fan free wheel, or pull the plug and fan locks up. Something is dicked up or you not seeing it, feeling it... cuz that's one of the quickie test. LOL For fan to cycle, thermo switch is the part doing the business...

    Self canceling turn signal ring.

    Picture please. Broken fingers or older style switch. Just saw where the ring was priced at $62 BUCKS. $400 bucks for the whole deal-le-oh. Holly smokes Batman, CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yep "since reset" Like new barn find, only in the desert for 10 years. Nice if you can afford it. Becoming an expensive pay to play hobby. Wait till Newsom pulls that plug. Been "reseting" mine on and off for 5 years, CAMO

    Fan Solenoid replacement

    Think we have been over this a few times... With all the new parts and they are OEM ??? right. (no funky thinking this or that might work) You might be OK and just not hearing the fan kick in. If the temps are running it the 200 range might just be a very good clean block and radiator. To...

    Fan Solenoid replacement

    Well you might have a REAL COOL Humv? 😎🍦 I not a fan of just changing stuff, just to be changing stuff. Were any tests made to really see whats going on. Maybe yours is OK and mine is wacky below. Mine runs 190 to 220 +/- a couple degrees. Always in some state of swinging between the high...

    New to Steel Soldiers, interested in purchasing first HMMWV

    Auctions start out like... YEA. I can swing that and then $$$$ out of one's budget. Going to have to shop real hard for one in that price range. Not to say it couldn't happen. Plan on doing your own work / repairs as it is a hobby IMO for fun... like a hot rod or a boat, yep boat. Some of...

    Gamble's Truck is FINALLY RELEASED!!!!!

    While waiting... a good time to down load the TM's and print out the sticky on things to check out. Got a feeling there's no GL dealer prep on HumV's, CAMO

    Snap, crackle, pop from battery compartment at startup

    Common for an old trucks. Best to remove and clean every connection that is nut and bolted, of the electrical system. Follow the leads, break the connection, wire brush, re-torque and seal for waterproofing / corrosion prevention. Note they go thru the battery box via feed-thru's that need...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Guess anything is possible. Having bought surplus items, getting new is a good deal. Just about can't go wrong with NOS. I have seen the trucks that were contractor modified for special application builds... only to be sold to the public. Now those were new with a new price tag. New is good...
