    What wheels are on your humvee?

    antifreeze. It's designed to be rubber safe as well as non corroding to metals. I don't think it has to be mixed, it can be straight antifreeze since you aren't looking for heat transfer ability in this application. The only real downside to using antifreeze is it soaks into the rubber...

    Questions on the M998 Hmmwv Humvee

    helicoil should be fine for this application, as long as it is installed properly. parts manual will be the ones with -24P as the last few digits. the -24P-1 manual has the hubs in it. There is no gasket for this, use either Anaerobic gasket maker or RTV made for gear oil, as regular RTV can...

    Turn Signal Control Unit LED Bulb

    I think he meant more about the differences between polarity and non polarity sensitive LED bulbs is more technical than most of us really need to know or care about knowing, as long as the dang thing works.

    803 or 802 that is the question

    I run my whole house off of my 802. I look at it this way. I can pick one heavy load to run, and then run all the lights and entertainment at the same time. I can do the oven, the dryer, or the hot water heater. I don't have any other heavy loads when the power is out (the woodshop and garage...

    Govplannet m1123 Barstow rebuild SF97 question

    "intermittent issues" sounds like "we don't always get around to clicking that box when we make the listing" I had the exact same experience 2 years ago, and the wording "sells with a clean SF-97" is a blatant lie if you have to purchase it separately.

    No windshield M1123 - what parts do I need?

    It was even better back at Christmas time. Glass was $35 a piece, and they did a special for free shipping. I bought 3 pieces, plus a couple other parts, for about $140 shipped for everything. Of course the glass didn't get here until February, but they were just spares anyway.

    Questions on the M998 Hmmwv Humvee

    First of all, you should go over to the TM section and download the manuals. The ones with -24P at the end are the parts manuals, and all the parts you need are listed there with part number and NSN. Many site sponsors, and AM General set up a parts website last year to sell directly to the...

    Need suggestions on battery powered impact wrench for Airlift and front winch install

    I love my milwaukee 1/2", so far I haven't found anything it can't do that my older 3/4" pneumatic also can't do.

    Broken stud

    If not NAPA then maybe try Les Schwab, as they should have all sorts of replacement studs

    Insulated Softtop Feedback

    well, your right leg won't get burns on it anymore, but on top of the tunnel you can still heat up a meal on a longer drive.

    Insulated Softtop Feedback

    I'll second this, there is enough insulation in the top that I've never felt any radiating down at me. But I also have a sheet of FRP under the soft top to keep it from pooling water, as well as the camouflage storage rack on top of that (2 door cab) When driving an A1 truck in the military I...

    Paint colors for modern 3 color woodland

    Rapco/Gillespie seems to be the go to paint if you are willing to order online. If you just want to walk into a store, Home Depot has the Federal Supply color codes in their system and can tint paint to match. It doesn't look quite the same as the Rapco does, but still really good. Use Behr...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah. I had my tank dropped and checked it all out when I first bought the rig, it was clean inside. I dropped it because of a hole someone drilled/manufactured in the top of the tank that leaked when it was full. Fuel comes from the same sources as my car (VW TDI) and it's never shown any...

    Ahhhhhhh need help and advice new gov planet m1123 and at a loss

    the 1123s came with the 200 amp dual voltage generator. If it isn't lining up correctly check to make sure the mounting bracket is secure. Mine was at a little bit of an angle because the exhauststud it mounted toat the rear was sheared off, and 2 of the other 3 bolts were loose.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Lately it has seemed like my truck has been missing at high rpms/heavy load. Took the BEOD off the back (2500 lbs)and drove it again, still sounding like it's missing at high speed/load, and doesn't want to go over 60mph. Decided to check the fuel in the filter, so opened the valve by the...

    Using lock washers

    split washers. The internal/external are just for bolts that need a good electrical connection as far as I've ever been told.

    Wasn't having any problems until......

    So you're saying the glow plugs aren't actually designed to see full battery voltage when operating?

    Adding AC to my M1045A2?

    yes, both ports are inside, on the side of the evaporator unit. If it broke and the R134A started leaking out, you'd know it. Oil all over the place, and high pressure gas (anywhere from 40-250psi depending on environmental and mechanical factors) would come hissing out. Now, if it failed...

    Wasn't having any problems until......

    I was kind of thinking the same thing. Only reason I could see for a glow plug to get more power when others fail is if there is a restriction/resistance in the wiring between the batteries and the glow plugs, in which case as the overall load decreases from failed plugs, that power is available...
