    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I just paid $15 for a new one from Eric's Military Surplus with new lanyard cord and everything. Only problem is it slid on so nice and perfectly that I can't get it off to save my life. I apparently should have lubricated it and somehow added on a pull handle (the lanyard cord tabs would...

    Does anyone know what this is?

    Here's another guess: http://www.nsn-now.com/Indexing/ViewDetail.aspx?QString=2590011660611 I google'd 56161SOCN and it's turning up a PTO-driven winch system. Maybe it's possible that it's a PTO shaft for some system, but I'm not sure which? EDIT: aaaaand I'm certain I'm wrong. That part...

    Measurements of A1 Propeller/Drive Shafts?

    I need some help on this one. I had sent in my front/rear propeller shafts for modification after carefully measuring how much they needed to be altered in order to adjust for the 4L80E transmission. I had given them simple instructions to shorten one shaft and lengthen the other, but made the...

    Aluminum vs Steel Hard Kit Top Pros and Cons

    Why not upload these direct to here instead of using an outside image site? I'm pretty sure we've actually got a rule for that. If not, it's at least best practice.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I had started to remove the intake a few days ago, but hit an issue with a jammed bracket that required me to stop for the night. Despite my best efforts to make sure everything was sealed, I was certain that the downpour of rain that occurred shortly after got into the engine, so I removed all...

    Hmmwv 6.5l purchased, turns out to be a 6.2l

    You. You guys are the reason that before I'm even married, I'm slammed with ads on this site for divorce lawyers. Stop it! Despite having spent time searching for rings, I've yet to see a single ad for engagement rings on here, but have seen plenty of ads for HMMWV parts I've looked at... rofl

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I was planning to post pictures of my propeller shafts installed, but that didn't work out. Turns out, the shafts I had modified were delivered to me with the wrong lengths. They physically link up, but there's no tolerance in their slip yokes for even the most mild driving. I want to check...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Anyone ever seen an A1 from the .gov with a 32 spline rear propeller shaft that was still the correct length for an A1? I just discovered that my rear shaft was fitted with a 32 spline yoke, yet the transfer case that came with my HMMWV was the TM-listed 27 spline. My best guess is it was...

    Starter Arc?

    I think you misunderstood Action. He's trying to address the lack of turning over/cranking by asking if you actually replaced the wires. It is possible that you can see full voltage through a set of wires, but they're damaged to an extent where they won't be able to carry current to actually...

    Starter Arc?

    Wait, so if you have power at all of those locations, how exactly are you testing for "no power"? Is this just failure to start, your lights won't switch on, or have you actually probed with the voltmeter around the vehicle?

    2017 Haspin rally, June 7th-11th, info/discussion thread

    Oh man, this is coming to be a really tight race to see if I can actually get my HMMWV ready in time. I've got a disassembled propellar shaft that I'm waiting on some parts for and a boatload of fasteners on order to finish up a lot of jobs scattered throughout. As well, it's time for a lot of...

    Don't you know? Once you install that jack, nothing will ever break again. You also won't need any more PMCS to be done. It just magically cures all!

    That's really such a sweet jack storage location. I love utility items and other upgrades that get stored in otherwise dead space. Now that I have that same jack (picked up for $10 at Findlay), picking up one of those doesn't sound like such a bad plan.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'll do you one better, because this is exactly the information I was going to be looking for until I found a complete set for cheap. First off, the connector it uses is a standard 3-pin DIN connector (why did they use a non-weather audio connector?). Specifically, it looks just like this...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Good time for a break... The other day, I picked up my propeller shafts from Power Train. They replaced the carrier bearing, about three u-joints, lengthened the front, shortened the rear, and balanced it all for about $175. Absolutely fantastic work at a great value. Only hangup is they've...

    Alternator driven tachometer mystery problem

    Bad connection = high resistance = loss of power. You're going to want to see if the wires are corroding at those connectors, a wire is cracked and operating intermittently, or the connector itself is corroded or gunked.

    Review of Telephonics Netcom Intercom System

    Thanks for a being a pioneer on this modern mystery! I'll keep my eyes open for any documentation or other specimens so that we might be able to learn more about this system. I implore you to call and pester Telephonics as much as you can in order to get ahold of some kind of operator's guide...

    Anyone know how to determine what model brush guard is standard on a M1123

    Your topic yesterday at least had a question mark at the end of the sentence. The answer is in TM 9-2320-280-24P, Vol 2. I searched "brushguard" and it showed me two brushguards: one for basic and A1 vehicles, and one for A2 vehicles. If you were to find the entire kit, this is the PN...

    Cool option for mounting a "step" to access the bed

    It looks like they're always on backorder (made to order). Here's two links, in case you didn't have a vendor that would let you order them now: http://www.eadoffroad.com/gobi/gobi-gh1rls-hummer-h1-recovery-loop-steps?sort=p.price&order=ASC&page=3...

    Cool option for mounting a "step" to access the bed

    For when the Operator's Manual specifically instructs you not to do a thing, you must engineer a method so you can do the thing all day long. Looks pretty cool, though. I'd buy one if they're cheap enough.
