I've looked for a group that cares about military vehicles and what I have found hasn't been overly encouraging. I can understand preservationists, as well as those who buy to modify. (Nothing against either group!). But so far all I've found is 'Jeeps, big trucks and tanks'. It seems like...

I think I read through at least 1/2 of that and went "YEP, I've had that issue". And I've only had my HMMWV since August. That is a really good find. Thanks!

If it's an ACTUAL H1 with a factory Turbo engine, it's a $100k+ on the used market. Prices are _INSANE_ for those things.

Thought some of you might find this interesting. I saw in the background of a few pictures, HMMWVs, and was curious why/how the Ukraine gov't got them. Lead me to a news story from the Kyiv Post talking about how Ukraine came to acquire them, and some maintenance stuff...

One more advantage/disadvantage. Gas, no glow plug or glow plug controller. Diesel no "old carb" or "complicated" ECU that needs to be tuned. Add to that gasoline generally doesn't gel in the winter. ;)

Yes B and C are different with hard top. A pillar is similar, but hard top has supports.

For a short period of time I worked (as an outside contractor) for Magneti-Marelli in Turin Italy. One day I show up to the building, and I hear what sounds like a dump truck dieseling it's way toward me, passed me and continued around the building. I turn around and it was a V12 Maserati. By...

Curious what lighting requirements are there? Are the stock military lights good enough (in working condition), or does it require a reverse light, or do you need to move to the civilian H1 lights? Otherwise, this seems like a very sensible change to the rules. EDIT: Found the referenced...

My attempt was to get matching wire to the HMMWV. Since that stuff certainly feels 'different' to my fingers then the normal multi-strand automotive wire I've used in the past. (Not meaning to derail this, but finding the matching wire was the hardest part of the backup light I found, but if...

I still need to do this on my 3-speed. But can anyone point me to where to buy the wire? I ordered it from Federal Military Parts and it never showed up. And they never replied to my emails. So until either I get a refund or it shows up, I'm not buying anything else from them.

Where I live, a 6.2L or 6.5L w/ 3 Speed is about 18-21k registered, in "good" condition. If it's not registered subtract 2k or so. Expect that you will spend at _LEAST_ $5k more to fix everything that is wrong, from brake pads, to glow plugs, to the EESS box, to gauges, to oil pressure...

On my (6.5) I was able to read the label on the existing starter, and just ordered a new one. I've got the same sort of thing where it whirrls sometimes instead of starting. I've not yet had to replace it, but I've got one waiting. My plan is to get the original rebuilt once the new one is...

Curiosity has me on this one. Looking up some things, I see a lot of modern glow plug controllers use mosfets instead of solenoids specifically so they can control the plug using a PWM (pulse with modulated) circuit to better control the heating of the glow plug itself, especially based on the...

For what the box does, in an all in-one "pre-built" config. $250-$500... Maybe my prices are out of whack from reality, but I'm basing it off of different power regulators and such I've had to buy for other (civilian) vehicles which tend to be closer to the $250 range, unless they're full of...

Coldest I've driven the HMMWV this winter was -10F.. I had to let it warm up, once it got up a bit.. the cab was cold until the vehicle actually got moving.. but once the engine was up to temp, I found myself turning DOWN the heat! (I have an original M998 so it's leaky, drafty, has the metal...

They are nice, but the doors still "seal" like HMMWV doors.. i.e. not very well. You can make it fit "better" with a little tweaking, but depending on the outside wind and the speed you are driving there is still a cold breeze to deal with.

My housemate was the same "Why would you ever want to buy a HMMWV, what a piece of junk..." etc.. Then (20 years after she got out of the Army) she borrowed one for an American Legion parade... then she borrowed it for another parade.. then another and another... it went up for sale and she...

I can't imagine the heat from the fire that was in could ever possibly negatively affect the strength of the components, frame, etc. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks this gives me a place to start diagnosing. I thought there was a sensor, but I wasn't finding the name of it so I could search the diagnostic manuals. EDIT: Looks like I need to disconnect 569B at the switch, then check if there is power at the switch (not wire). If engine is cold, and...

I searched and didn't see this anywhere, but I may have used the wrong terms. I don't think this is the typical "fix your glow plugs, EESS box, neutrals" thread, but something slightly different. When I start my HMMWV when it's "very" cold out, -10F to 30F range.. I need to sit in the vehicle...
