Go to your local bicycle shop and buy a hand brake cable and thread it through the housing. It'll get you home until you can get a throttle cable assembly.

Remember that the alternator connects to the batteries via the stud on the starter. Take a look and make sure that connection is clean and tight. The feedthru stud in the battery box should also be clean and tight. In the 60 amp alternator regulator failures are very common but usually easily...

There are 2 attitudes about former military vehicles. There are those of us who appreciate their original purpose and history and those who see it as a starting point for some other purpose. This does tend to be a military vehicle forum, about keeping them alive and running and when we hear...

3/8-18 x 2 Make sure you use star washers for good electrical grounding

If your talking about the image you have in your first posting it's resin filled fiberglass and either mounts in a hole in the tank turret or in the bracket commonly called a sugar scoop or one of the flimsy aluminum brackets they hung on the back of the early HMMWV. On the 151 it would mount...

Preacher, PM sent. Thanks This is the MT-6382/VRC mountfor the 117D that I believe is out of service now replaced by the F and G model's. Kurt KG6KMJ

This is an AB-558 antenna base. Depending on where the antenna snapped off you have a couple of options. If the rubber flex base is intact and the hole is clear you can use steel mast sections MS-116, 117, and 118. You can also use the fiberglass upper mast section AT-1095 from the AS-1729...

It's nomenclature is AB-558 and they were used primarily as the guard receiver antenna base on numerous military vehicles including the M151s. They use steel mast sections MS116, 117, and 118 or you can use the AT-1095 fiberglass upper mast section from the AS-1729 antennas.

We probably don't see more of them because there's 0 "cool factor" in a soft slantbank. There were a couple of attempts at making a fiberglass slant back but they never got very popular either. If you want a brute force toy it just isn't there and if what you want is something usable then if...

I'm still old school with a 6.2 and a TH400(3L80) but think your problem might be due to one of the sensors for the 4L80E. That trans has a TIS (trans input sensor) and a TOS (trans output sensor) that feed the TCM. If any one of those 3 components (or the associated wiring) was failing I...

I had a friend measure his seat belts and what he found was the webbing section on his was 123." Mine turned out to be 99" so I definitely need to keep an eye out for a couple of longer ones. Here's a tidbit out of PM Magazine:

The lengths are different between the 2 NSNs and I need to know which of the 2 belts are the longer ones, please. That's why I asked the question in the first place. What I think is that I may have inadvertently installed 2 of the shorter belts to the detriment of my larger friends!

In my 996 ambulance I installed the 3 point seatbelts at least 10 years ago but never paid much attention to their length because the seatbelts fits my wife and I fine. I had a friend with me the other day and the belt I installed on the passengers side was too short for him. The manual says...

If your measuring the resistance of the lamp filaments you will have some continuity between wires 17 and 18 because they have a common ground on 91. The resistivity will be low but if you measure 17 to 91 you'll get one resistance reading then if you measure between 17 and 18 your reading...

These Land Rover tie downs work well: http://www.paddockspares.com/pm1096-tie-down-d-rings-set-of-6.html

It won't hurt to give all of them a liberal dose of WD40 and even better would be a coating of Dow Corning DC4 silicon lubricant. It's available from places like Skygeek, Aircraft Spruce, and McMaster-Carr. I use it on all of my electrical connectors to exclude moisture and soften the rubber...

I keep reposting this reference page for military wiring so that new MV owners will understand how these things work. Here's the link: http://olive-drab.com/images/7070301_circuit_numbers_dolph.pdf First off it isn't 16, 17, and 18. It's 17 = high beam lead, 18 = low beam lead, and 91 =...

Just looking at the info for the change 2 manual for the GRM-55 and they are now saying to alternately push and release the test button as you adjust the cal knob rather than holding the button down. So possibly holding the test button down steady is the problem. Give it a try and let us know...

A word of caution about welding anything on a HMMWV body. This stuff is hardened aircraft aluminum and whenever you weld it you weaken the area surrounding the weld. This can lead to it more tearing. The other thing you should do is drill a small hole at the end of the tear to keep it from...

I believe they are just Dana 60s aren't they? Most good truck parts can probably pull up the numbers you need. Kurt
