    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Well I called around to glass places near me and I was surprised that 3/8" glass, either tempered or laminated seems to be a special order thing, meaning as expensive as ordering it online. Nothing even close to sub $100/window. Maybe they have to order a large sheet to cut up? So much for...

    Tail lights with reverse lights built in

    You have a couple of choices. I just used a generic bumper mount bulb housing and installed a 24V led bulb. I had to install one of those reverse switches in the shifter as mine did not have one, and I had to run a wire to power it from the shifter. I saw a post where another forum member did...

    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Gentlemen, Thank you for the replies. But now I am a bit confused. 5/8" thick is called "supplemental". I am thinking this is the "bullet resistant" stuff? I assume there is a special frame and gaskets for that thickness. I do not believe I have that. 3/8" thick is "standard". I would just...

    Best Source for X-Door Glass?

    Hello, The four X-Doors I have a some de-lamination. I have been doing some searching, and it seems that the least costly source for replacement glass to solve the de-lamination issues for all four X-Doors is Federal Military Parts. A set of four Grey Tinted Unframed Replacement Glass Windows...

    RADIO TRAY. l want to see what you have done with them

    To be honest, I really learned that I suck at trying to make up custom interior stuff. This is my 3rd attempt at the radio tray, and I am going to make another version in the winter after the Florida Inferno subsides. I want to move s rocker switches more forward as they hit the radio shelf...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I put this on about a year ago and it has been working just fine. RV Backup Camera HD 1080P 7'' LCD Monitor System Infrared Night Vision Waterproof Metal Rear View Cam Adapter I kind of like the guidelines so I left them on. I believe you can easily disable them by cutting a wire. I mounted...

    Glow Plug Replacement

    Not that I am going to try to do anything more to further aggrevate my glow plug broken situation, but I did a bit of searching and when you search on Duramax glow plug stuck or broken, you get a LOT of information that is interesting, but not applicable to the HMMWV. You can get a air hammer...

    Glow Plug Replacement

    The consensus of the knowledgeable forum members here is to leave these two glow plugs alone, and to not touch the remaining two others that I stopped at. Since I live in the Florida inferno it starts fine except for the smoke. I successfully replaced four. I kind of agree with them as I can...

    Transmission Filter

    :ditto: I have used the Lubegard Shudder fix on the A8 GM tranny for other problems on another platform and it did work. But just use straight ATF here. A couple of pointers. If you don't have a pan with a drain, which you should, now is the time to add one! I could not find any Dextron 3...

    Glow Plug Replacement

    Thanks guys. I agree, best to leave those two alone as it will start and run now. I am afraid if I mess with it I will transform it into a non-runner aua I have two more that I have not touched which I will look at next.

    Any Members Near Orlando FL Recommend a Shop for Diesel Repairs?

    Just got back from three shops and they all wanted to remove both heads and send them off to a machine shop to have the two butchered glow plugs removed. One said he would not be interested to R&R the heads, and another said they were too busy to tackle head removal. Diesel Truck Shop & Repair /...

    Glow Plug Replacement

    Not to hijack this thread, but I have been struggling with Glow Plug replacement also. I attempted to replace my glow plugs (6.2 NA) a few months ago, I ran into big problems with two. One on the pass side, I could not budge to loosen as it is rusted on the head. I applied too much pressure...

    I had this same problem, and was told to try this product. I used this product and it got rid of the squeal. I was really skeptical, but it worked! CRC Belt Conditioner

    Any Members Near Orlando FL Recommend a Shop for Diesel Repairs?

    Just looking for any members in Central Florida that might be able to recommend a shop to change out stuck and broken glow plugs in a 6.2 Detroit Diesel? Not many shops are willing to work on Humvees :(

    M1114 AC charge

    The best way is to use a set of AC gauges to determine when it is full, based on outside temp, humidity, etc. But to get the compressor to run, so the gauges read correctly, you sometimes have to short the ac pressure switch. Not sure how you could really get 3 pounds in the system without the...

    Highway Cruising Speed

    M998 with the stock TH400 three speed was barely convoy speed of 45MPH. Upgraded to the 4L80E and I don't have the guts to go over 60. Nobody has dared yet to give me the finger. :burn:
