Looks to be a slight leak, maybe a drip, some might call it a seep, maybe just sweating. I see it around the steering covers, mostly. Spray some of the GUNK stuff and wash it down. See where the dust accumulates next trip out. Could check oil - fill and torque steering covers. Half (other...

4l80E TC should have locked when in fourth gear (depending on set-up 45-50 mph should do it) Tap the brakes to UN-lock. Slight RPM increase due to un-locking of TC & power transfer losses with same throttle applied. That's why the for lock-up, power transfer, mileage, overall less trans /...

HumV's are like a new spelling word... (hang with me a second on this) One as to see it, say it, learn it correctly, remember it and when the time comes... spell it correctly. Learn it wrong and likely to spell it wrong, but that can be fixed. Never learn it, don't care to, or keep trying...

I thought the same thing. Lot of bucks for a generator. Saw trailers hitched up . Were they included? Couple forest service?? Humv's sale this week at Mojave airport auction >...

Told myself to easy up on... ON LINE electrical diagnosis. So am jumping in on this one with MY GUESSessssss. All things being normal to the truck, no wacky Mr. Edison, Mr. Wizard hook-up, NO non quality add on parts (flicker boxes ??) Then all bets are OFF at this point forward ! ** Best to...

Found this in my HumV note book. https://www.logsa.army.mil/web2/archive/PS2006/645/645-17.pdf Even the Army refers to the TM's. Imagine that. Bear with a radio. Has TM's and a funny book too, CAMO

Very common with the 60 amp alternators. Look to the TM's and verify that the brackets and mounts are correct. Some have a thick washer type shim at the back ear that fall to the ground... never to be found. Then one puts it all back together unaware, pinching (preloading) the ears and soon...

Nothing is easy...But can be if one applies oneself. First timer with a map or schematic... anyone would be lost. How long did it take to learn North - South - East and West. Many more symbols on any road map than any Humv print. Learn the few electrical symbols (beginners ok to use a...

86humv and the guys are right on that. Going to be a heck of a story when rig is back up and running. New Covid resolution from the "bear with a radio" I pass on trying to figure out electrical problems here. While simple on the surface (for me and many) not having the bigger picture of...

Sometime Humv' need a little percussion persuasion. Not so sure I would have used the pointy tool... but you got it, CAMO

Here you go....... Right out of the easy book. BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM EXHAUST Blue smoke indicates that engine oil is burning in the cylinder or cylinders and may be accompanied by excessive oil consumption. Some mechanical conditions which should be considered are: • Stuck piston rings •...

Like it's suppose too, CAMO

Bone conduction/ mechanical into the foot well makes for the "snake in the cab" sound. Lookout !!! You've been bitten by the HumV, CAMO

Not sure or following the need to have all the wizz bang / $1000 dollar batteries in a hobby HumV. 🤔 Very intermittent, one time loads of glow plugs, starter. Once up and running, (property tuned) HumV system requirements are pretty minimal. Lights, couple of solenoids and a motor for...

Title says they don't fit, But didn't really try? Sure they will stretch with the leverage and toggle over center latch. Check out the three hood stops / bumpers too. With all the piles of new parts this would be the least of one's worries. Put them on and go for a run around the block...

Back to USGI specifications. Now anybody can work on it, CAMO

Can't see it from my angle here BUT do you have the injector pump? I see lines going in the right direction, hard to see pump. Has the later hardware> alt. trans, E brake, S wheel, etc. and ONLY 3k miles ?? Almost brand NEW. Might want to express your concern with missing part and see how...

Have the weapons officer shoot during the flickers. Just guessing here... Might be the new ones so the bad guy won't be able to see who's doing the shooting?? CAMO

To me that's why I like the TM's. Written for guys like me and maybe a few 100,000 others that just passed the 5th grade. (and VERY GOOD mechanics I might add) It's always good to have different inputs when brainstorming a problem, even if it is from a 4th grader, fresh perspective. And...

I am glad many got a "giggle" from the goings on here. LOL Not meant to incite anyone, BUT to gain insight, to read up with the FREE manuals. Lots of newbee's to the HumV experience and some old fart too...just like Tobash and me. No relation, LOL They are an easy read and not as likely...
