I've used Kerosene as a parts cleaner before on diesel engine componets in the past. It's generally compatible with diesel. (I don't know if any agrees this is a good or bad idea on the HMMWV.)

HMMWV so a bit different, but back 24 years ago my kid ( 2 at the time ) crawled into an Army HMMWV and started it. That reserve unit learned really quickly to unhook the battery when showing a HMMWV where someone can reach the start switch! in my more modern case, I tend to put wheel chalks...

Mine just has a connector on the harness right there. But it’s only used by the diagnostic port in the cab, so not hooked up should be fine.

Wires should have a grommet on them, with a corresponding hole to go into cab, under the dash. Should be two wires there to connect it to.

Previous owner of my HMMWV bought them, but they are the O'Reilly 6TL batteries. I asked them about getting a pair, and they said they were just special order and would take a few days to a week to get them in, but they were available. Price wasn't unreasonable, but the Hawker are much better...

I THINK so. My memory was a white bottle, but I used it and threw it away so I can't say for sure. I know it was Valvoline, listed as DEX/MERC and had ATF on the label along with DEX III.. (I had to drain/refill my power steering.)

I was noticing the lack of blackout light myself.. ;)

I bought Dex III the other day at O'Reillys they were out of their own brand, but had Valvoline Dex III.

Sounds to me like the pump died, you ran out of hydraulic fluid or something similar. Fix the 'fluid'/pump issue first, then work on the cadillac valve/hydraulic fan, brake booster, and then power steering box.. (at least that is the order I would do it) If the pump has fluid in it, you can...

As far as I can tell, expect to go through a key switch regularly if you have one. The 24V and current seem to like to fry/weld the insides of the cheap switches that seem to be available online and at auto-parts stores. (I've got one, but I'm already making plans to move back to a real...

Hmm, I always thought that was "test fire extinguisher now" light. As it usually happens when you forget the fire extinguisher, or haven't verified it's full in a while.

Is there a part number for the moog and where can you get it? Was googling for it and found an old post that it was an AMGN part only, so was difficult to get. I'm assuming this has improved?

This is a good reminder on ITAR. Not only does the finished goods have to stay in the US, but so do the design files and anything related to how to make it. Also even giving it to someone who is not a US Citizen can be an ITAR violation, so definitely worth considering when remanufacturing...

You may have power intermittently until the engine is up to temp. But ya, a constant 24V to the plugs is "bad". The EESS boxes are interchangable, but you may need to change the temp sensor. (This is near the front of the engine, on top, in a water jacket.). Old boxes called it a 'glow plug...

I've been looking at RV 4 and 6 camera systems. They claim to be able to be left on, and I've not see a lot of reports of fogging up. My only issue with them for side cameras they look completely out of place on the HMMWV, and I'm worried if I mount it on the back bumper of damage. (6 camera...

Wow.. I'm jealous. I'm glad it fit so well.

Lower half of the antenna, use zip ties to the flag and to the antenna. Will hold just fine at parade speeds and slightly faster. (This is how we've done multiple parades with my HMMWV.)

Check voltage first, then check the glow plugs first. If they are fine and you are having these issues, I'd check the glow plug thermostat, then the control box. The "Wait to start" light is an indication if the box things the glow plugs are working. Depending on the box, some just energize...

I thought the 3-point seatbelts locked, but I haven't yet installed them on my M998.

Yes, and shaft means a bearing inside the case. If it DOESN'T make the noise it MIGHT not be the bearing, but MIGHT still be. Reassembling the pulley and retrying it should let you know. If it starts squealing again and the pulley is not lose on the shaft.. It's almost certainly the...
