    Smart Start Box Wait Light Always Comes on Even When Engine is Warm

    What box? PCB or EESS? Picture of the label will tell us lots of info.

    BELT TENSION GAUGE NO. 371

    Warm the engine, stop engine and remove key, loosen pulley bolts, use a Big F'n Lever, and pull hard while an assistant tightens. If your rig squeals after that, your belts are mismatched. In the word's of High Sierra..."Gauges, we don't need no stinkin' gauges".

    HMMWV Fuel Lift Pump

    That is the Australian model. It is upside down. He needs an American one. 🙃

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Transmission in limp mode?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What radio and speakers are those ? I recall a post a year ago about them and I can't find the post. I want to buy the same set. Does it broadcast Bluetooth? Would love to play it to my noise canceling headphones. Best, T

    Opinions on under rear fender condenser

    Under fender was used by military and the parts are for sale. Not sure about under the hood.

    Any idea what might have been mounted here?

    Search under the dash for unused free wires and see where they go. Look for drilled aftermarket holes and see where they lead. Maybe fill it with a switch or place a small reproduction military placard over it?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I found the power steering leaking hose. The PO cluged together a hose rather than replacing. Rig will be back on the road as soon as I can buy power steering fluid, as all the shoppes are on COVID19 lockdown. I guess I will purchase power steering fluid online.

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    So, buying a used vehicle is always an adventure. Prior owner liked to cluge things together. I have repaired missing washers and electrics connected the wrong way. Recently I posted about dumping my power steering fluid. I finally had time to look at why. In searching for the answer, I...

    C-pilar for hard top

    Perhaps 45k Euros. More soon because they are no longer available. Taking her apart is foolish and you should not do it. Sell it and buy what you want. You are making a mistake. I think I will sign off this thread because it is too ridiculous. A man has Gold and he wants to spin it into Lead. I...

    C-pilar for hard top

    Gentleman! Surely, you jest. (Thanks for the compliment.)

    C-pilar for hard top

    If you pull the sponsons and remove the C pillar you will lose a great deal of value on the truck. Like between 10-20 thousand. In the USA. In Europe, much more. Get a backup camera like the rest of us. I have a slant back and I don’t feel closed in. I also am installing a backup camera...

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    Using my free time to organize, and re-discovered my new in the box military variation of another device called a "Webasto". This is a Diesel consuming device that keeps the engine warm without needing to keep the engine on. It burns fuel at maybe 10 ti,es less than a running engine, and keeps...

    Weepy tire?

    So, after reading all the posts about split rims, I don't understand why we can't just use a silicon bead between the rims to seal them up. Either that or a solid sheet of man-made rubber with cut-outs for the bolts. Yes, the rubber beads would be better... But what about in an emergency? If you...

    Mobil 1 in a HMMWV

    Ajax MD, you sound like me. Although I'm no professional mechanic, this is also what I do, as per my mechanic and rally-car building buddies. An older Diesel stays on Rotella on my watch. I'm not saying Mobil 1 Diesel is bad. I'm just saying I stick with what I know. If you're worried about $...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Outer pattern looks like you drilled into tires to prevent tire rotating on the bead. Either that or it looks like you clamped the outermost tire lip to the rim for the same purpose for off-road use. 8 bolts are for securing to your vehicle. Inner 6 bolts make it look like you have floating...

    My first M998: Fixing her up

    Going back to the original replies... Stop spending money until she is titled and registered.

    Battery Voltage cycling after startup 1st green - yellow, then max - green, the max'd

    If RWH says that, I gotta believe him. You have a 60 Amp, which is common. There are a few for sale on FleaPay and I'm sure the vendors here have dozens. You should consider buying one of those if RWH says your repair is suspect. Best, T

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Spray adhesive and glitter. That way when you get lifted by a Helo, you will look like a disco-ball. (Just leave it alone and let time and dirt make it all match).
