    What's the purpose?

    Aircraft carrier landing arresting cable ? Nope, Transfer case guide cable. That's what they call it. My guess is to keep the transfer case close when blown-UP ! CAMO

    LED Pushbutton Switch Install

    Just poke it in the door hinge. I Like the battery disconnect set-up. Money saving feature for sure, Wonder how much smoke that one could make, CAMO

    Voltmeter gauge not working

    Has an expanded scale so it doesn't even come off the stop until 20 plus volts. Get to know this gauge. It is important. Green go , Yellow or Red fix it. CAMO

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    Famous quote "You have to ask yourself... Do you feel lucky" Or something like that. I have had surplus tires 3 - 4 year old on my truck. No hot rodding, rock crawling. Just easy beer run stuff. Twice now, failed great looking tires, full treadl, still with mold tits (can I say that?) air...

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    What you have is a 14 year old tire. Go slow... it's ready to blow, CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Drilled out all the twist locks on the back of the "B" pillar. Never did like them and of no real use in my helmet top rig. Took a 4 foot length of 3/4 X 1/8 aluminum strap. Centered it up where I wanted it over all the 1/8 holes and transferred a few locations to the strap. Placed 3/8...

    What date codes are on your Humvee tires?

    Read lot of stories about tires. Many trucks / trailers came from auction with Goodyear Wranglers MT/R's, 37x12.50Rx16.5 LT, those big fat bad boys. How about sharing the date codes on those tires that your running from auction or surplus? It's the 4 digits in the oval on one side like 2215...

    Humvee Overheating

    There are three electrical temp sensor. Each one is for a specific use. Not connected / independent to any other electrically. Cold start advance to IP = right side rear engine > switch. Fan control - Time delay module - Solenoid control = Water crossover > switch. Temp gauge = Left...

    I won at Auction.... Next steps

    Can you kindly guide me to the money tree. Be clear little brother, CUZ you're all over the place. ;):giggle: At home with cabin fever and HumV, CAMO

    Fuel pump rod busted...

    YEP. Many times. Mostly when Mr. Goodwrench tries to put a pump back on. Thinking the pump levers rides on a cam, it goes bad from there. What happens is this little harden push rod slides slides down and is hidden behind the adapter plate. Goodwrench slaps the pump in, meets a little...

    BELT TENSION GAUGE NO. 371

    On this same note of belts and alternator... Something to check on any 60 AMP rig. Make sure that the front and rear mounting ears (lower ones that it hinges on) have the thick spacer (item #21) and that bracing straps are in the right places. When tightening the long thru bolt. If you...

    BELT TENSION GAUGE NO. 371

    Pretty much normal. It is normal to see the belts driving the alternator (top side) to be flopping / whipping what looks to be slack. No worries. At idle diesel engine banging away is not a smooth continuous power and belts start a harmarmic dance between engine firing and the three phase...

    BELT TENSION GAUGE NO. 371

    IMO, Might be more trouble that is is worth. When I see the gauges from the HumV tool kits they all look new ?? Huh Three belts are going to be stinker to dial in if not a matched set. Go with tight and no slipping, slapping and squeaking but not so tight to overload the spinning...

    Any idea what might have been mounted here?

    Maybe an On / Off switch with the elongated top hole? Guessing for a flashing beacon light. Could be anything, CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    YES, It's part of the kit. Closes off the gap / opening between body to top of bumper. I did and like it. May require little roto file action to line up, easy one minute job. Rivet and done. To do or not to, it's up to you, CAMO

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    Thanks for the follow up. Colorado gets snow? Be careful and manage one's confidence / control in the big bad ass, go anywhere Humv. They can be a little squirrely in snow / ice / slick conditions. Know your rig and double check the others moving about. Guess any rig can get sideways, CAMO

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    Great ! On the road again. Changed a lot of stuff, but what was the real problem. This inquiring mind just asking, CAMO

    Fuel Tank Sock / Strainer Part Comparison

    Looking at the two, they both do the same thing. Top one HumV standard and it too as the check valve / flapper on the end. Bottom one looks like NASA built it for the space shuttle. Either one should launch a HumV. What's in your wallet, CAMO

    M998 glow plug wiring - does the order make a difference

    NO. Parallel circuit. The length out of the wire loom may not reach to one or the other plug. Take the shortest path, CAMO
