teteacher101, I was going by the weights listed for the shafts on the Autozone site. 22.9# would be the heaviest so it should be the longest shaft, the right front. The left front is the shortest so it makes sense that the lightest shaft at 20.5# would go there and the middleweight shaft at...

I helped install one of the receiver mounts on a friends HMMWV and like the idea but it seems like the backing plate should have been another 1/4" taller. When the pintle rotates it hits the receiver tube and eventually it'll wear the paint off of it and things will begin to rust. I don't know...

Your control box is fried. There are circuits in it that are designed to prevent this from happening.

Do a simple search for BA9 LED 10-30v. BA9 is the base size, 10-30v gets you lamps that will work in either military or civy vehicles. If you don't care about civy vehicles substitute 24V for the 10-30V. Remember that LEDs are very directional so you want a lamp that shines out the sides in...

When I wanted to mount antennas onto the truck without drilling any more holes in the body I bought some 1.5 x 2" rectangular steel tubing and welded a plate onto the end of it that would hold the "sugar scoop" to mount the antenna. The whole thing is held into the bumper with an aircraft quick...

One of the things that does happen to the speedometer is the short flex cable that goes between the transmission and the right angle drive can round off if the drive was run while it was loose. You can replace it by snipping off the end of another speedometer cable and replacing it. Here's the...

Mechanical failures aren't that common, my '86 has been running with the original speedometer in it since I got it 18 years ago. I do concurrently run a GPS to crosscheck accuracy and for positional data but there's no good reason to replace it,

Boxes were made by Prestolite, LAU, Nartron, and KDS. The Prestolites are the originals, The Lau boxes are serious trouble and should be avoided at all costs, After that they were made by Nartron and KDS with mixed results. Like Steve says, you want to look for the EESS series boxes. The...

Ken, if you can live with an original scissors jack and handle I have a spare that you can have for $25 plus shipping from San Jose to your location. Send me a PM.

Both rear shafts are the same length, right front is the longest, left front is the shortest. Autozone's website shows their weights as: 16058 = 20.58# Left front 16059 = 22.05# Rear shafts 16060 = 22.93# Right Front These are for the 10K shafts, the 12K shafts are another story.

Avman, pages 7,8, and 9 of this Cherrymax chart will give you what you need to know to get your doors together. The most commonly used rivets in the HMMWV are 3/16" diameter although there are some other sizes used. They can be installed with pneumatic or manual riveters, personally I like the...

Aren't the rivets called out in a chart in the back of the -20 manuals?

Would one of you who have purchased these shafts please put up a simple posting with the 3 part numbers for these shafts for the rest of us? Thanks

I've had my HMMWV for 18 years now and have gone through several sets of batteries along the way. I originally went the purist route and bought 6TLs because that's what the military used. My first sets seemed to last a couple years and then die pretty quickly. Back then they ran around...

Check with Norm Gorelick at Downtown Truck Parts in LA.

Could you please email a picture to me? Thanks papakb@yahoo.com

A picture is worth a thousand words..............

Not so difficult to drop out but getting the beast back in is a bugger. Only 2 bolts and the retaining support bracket on the front end and it comes right out. Going back in you have to lift the starter and rotate it slightly so the solenoid clears the frame with one hand while starting the...
