    Adding Seatbelts to Cargo Area - Help Wanted for Planning!

    Are you sure that wasn't a metric grade 12.9? I'm not aware of any SAE/ASTM spec grade higher than 8. It's worth noting that metric grade 12.9 and SAE grade 8 are roughly the same. Thanks.

    Cobham FFCS/T

    I don't have working experience, but I honestly think you have what you need. Have you tried the setup yet? The application guide I read sounds like the FFCS/T is intended to allow a special telephone device that mounts directly to the outside of the tank to be used in conjunction with being a...

    Adding Seatbelts to Cargo Area - Help Wanted for Planning!

    I'm still not running, but I do want to add seatbelts to the rear as an important safety upgrade for when I am. I plan to make continued use of the fold-down troop seats whenever practical. I'm reading plenty of information showing that side-facing seats will never have the same level of...

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    Terribly sorry for never replying to this. I hope you found a fix! If you haven't, I'd get in and start testing some things with a separate multimeter. First would be the actual voltage from your vehicle...it's possible if it's low, it probably won't allow your MSD to work correctly. As...

    2018 Findlay Oh Armed forces day buy-sell-trade & Info

    I have a bunch of MK-2551 A/U Surface Wire Ground Systems, in the typical NOS condition (still have packing material in the bags, everything has some surface marks, dings from being moved around). Picture of what they look like, here: http://www.wenzlau.com/ancillary_swgs.htm The military...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My handle was missing as-delivered, so I bought a new one, installed it, wasn't satisfied with the way the door was sealing on the truck, removed the door, pressed the door to correctly align the frame, and promptly snapped the brand new door handle from not realizing that it was contacting the...

    Any Hmmwv owners in southern Indiana? Newbie here looking for support if needed. Tnks

    I'm a good way off from you, being that I'm in Indianapolis, but I'm glad to lend a hand if I'm ever able. I have almost every specialty hand tool required to work on any HMMWV engine or transmission, the transfer case, the geared hubs, and some other odds and ends I don't currently recall. I...

    Military Radio - Computer Interface

    No I haven't. I don't own one of those. I'd be happy to bring the USB interface and a laptop to Findlay if anyone wanted to try it out.

    Need Help SW Missouri - Glowplugs

    I personally use the Harbor Freight torque wrenches. I'm not working on extremely precise instruments, so I feel comfortable that my torque wrenches might be +- 10 ft/lbs. Saves a ton of money to buy those instead of very high quality units. I've taken the top end of my engine apart twice...

    Best price on eess s3 box?

    Yup, I was going to say the same thing. Here is the best price. I got mine for around $300 just over a year ago, but $400 is a very fair price to pay (I would have paid that back then)!

    Stanadyne MFI pump clogged in M1025

    For what it's worth, I've been battling this same issue since around August. My engine was running great, didn't touch it for a month while I was working on my transmission install, then when I went to test it out, there was no-start, which turned out to be no fuel to the high-pressure side of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Wes came by and like a real champ, helped me relocate my HMMWV across town to my new place IN A GARAGE. It's going to be very, very nice not having to deal with the elements while finishing up the engine work. Definitely need to find some time this week to finish investigating my injection...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Whoops, I haven't actually looked at an RF-382 in a while. Power & control is all on the one multi-pin cable, so we should be able to just hook up and test it. I don't have an amplifier, but I can disable my radio's internal coupler and utilize exclusively the RF-382 to see if it at least does...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Gotta say for that RF-382... I do have a radio that's fully-functional that can hook up to that and run it through to full rigors to see what does and doesn't work. If we ever are going to cross paths at some point, I'd be happy to bring along my radio to said meeting place to try it out. Do...

    KDS box

    Where in Indiana are you? I'm not specifically an expert on this specific control part, but I'm pretty capable with soldering tools and have built and repaired many things in the past. If I can find an old thread talking about others' inspection work of these, I may just be able to help you...

    Body ends for these rubber latches, Name or PN please

    Is that price for the full latch assembly, or just the body-side piece? Looking at Amazon, it looks like you can get similar-sized latch assemblies for under $10, so it might just be prudent to buy the whole thing in order to have fresh rubber and spare parts.

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I'll actually be trying to volunteer there. My MVPA chapter is going to try to support the Kilroy chapter as much as we can for this convention. I've been volunteering at entertainment conventions and expos for almost a decade now, so it only makes sense to try my hand at helping the MVPA!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Fixed my post for speaking for too many people and now more accurately says just me. That's about right. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'm digging it. It's a bit too dark for my tastes, but the concept in itself is right-on. Good job for doing what's possibly the most common car mod ever, yet it is foreign to me here....and I don't mean that in a condescending way! It's just funny that I haven't seen this on a thousand...

    2018 Haspin rally, June 6th-10th, info/discussion thread

    I've been saying it for a year now with no success, but... I'm planning on bringing my HMMWV out to this one to give it a good try! I'm not running at the moment, either, so...we'll see. aua
