    Tag for info. I’m in the same boat.

    Can’t find any info on a switch present on my Humvee

    Quick heater question

    IIRC the heater core from a 1965 mustang without AC can be made to fit in the space with minor modifications if you need the heat.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thank you for the link! I saw a set for $65/ea but they looked questionable, the LED grid looked different than the Trucklite. Might still be worth the risk to see if they function.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thank you! I just bought a set! That’s way better than the $700-1,000 I was seeing before. Any chance you have a lead on fronts?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    @HUMMER H1 What was involved in the taillight swap? Just a new surround and different lights? Are they Wrangler taillights? Mine could use a new set but the LED prices are steep for the military version. Truck looks awesome, great job so far!

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    You’ll want a set of injection line wrenches, but nothing to it. Wrench goes in/on, loosen, listen, watch.

    1987 M998 Battery Generator Gauge Bouncing in Red, Stays in Red while driving for few minutes

    Good deal, I should probably check mine as well. I think it’s just the swinging in the direction that causes it, but it is only momentary and it’s definitely not pegged in my case.

    1987 M998 Battery Generator Gauge Bouncing in Red, Stays in Red while driving for few minutes

    Mine does this if I’m driving during the “afterglow” period, when the plugs cycle off (Im guessing off, but don’t have alight rigged up yet), the battery gauge spikes into the red. If it’s not under load, it bounces between green and yellow until the afterglow is finished. I figured this was...

    1987 M998 Battery Generator Gauge Bouncing in Red, Stays in Red while driving for few minutes

    I think it’s your glow plugs being cycled on. If I just started my HMMWV and start to drive before they’re done cycling (60-90 seconds on a cold start), I will see this, too. I let it go through the standard warm up and everything is normal. I have the 200a Gen on an A2.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I cleaned up my battery box, did away with some unnecessary equipment and setup a 12v panel for interior lights (white and red), ancillary exterior lighting, and to hard wire the comms system. I’m pretty weak at electrical work, so it was slow going, but it turned out nicely.

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    I appreciate your help with this. I have a much better sense of the electrical system now. Regarding the switch, I’ve seen a handful with the same specs but different model numbers. I think I’m going to call Hella tomorrow to clarify. I’m also going to take this opportunity to remove the slave...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    So I figure this was easier than trying to describe it. Big switch is labeled in red. Little switch is one of those colors? I haven’t traced those wires, but yellow is labeled 290, 291, 537. I was planning on running the 2500a Hella (metal) and a 1000a Hella (red plastic), is that enough...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    I’m in the process of setting up a dual disconnect for my M1123 and was planning to copy your setup. Is this what you’re running? Switch 1 cuts the 12v (low side/rear) ground connection Switch 2 cuts the positive connection between the two batteries Electrical is not my strong suit, I’ve...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    They’re definitely not common, they didn’t make very many Alphas and it will take a considerable amount of damage to total out a $200k+ truck like that. I’ve only seen H1 doors pop up a few times- for $10-15k, never a set of Alphas. I think it’s a cool idea, but it’s the same idea dozens of...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I went with cheaper tires, but FWIW, I have something like $2k into my wheels and tires. https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/ironman/all-country-m-t/p/TV153001127...
