Concur. Trying to make this into what you describe will be expensive, time consuming, and still fall short of a Wrangler, IMO. I love the HMMWV, but I sweat in the summer, it's drafty in the winter, it leaks when it rains, stock seats are awful, I need headsets to have a conversation at a...

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but I finally got to the bottom of this one. Checked everything several times, tried various things, replaced a handful of components, the thud kept coming back. Finally, this afternoon, while mowing the lawn, I’m looking at the HMMWV and it dawns on me, maybe...

Very cool, thank you, Hawker!

My 6.5NA can sit at idle for a LONG time before the needle starts to move, especially with the updated gauge/sender. If I start to drive it, though, I get to operating temperature in about 2.5 miles, driving at 25 mph (neighborhood). So it's slow as heck when sitting, but fairly rapid when...

I read somewhere that the "E" code was used when the truck was ear-marked for sale. It's why it appears to be added after the rest of the stencil. Whoever applied my "E" did so sloppily, you can see that there was "A" before they covered it up. Not sure what that's worth, but figured I'd share.

I think mine had the same fate- arrived with 62 miles, rebuilt at 20, no unit markings, M1123, Barstow.

Mine had a few of these as well. Tagging for more info, as I have no idea.

I’ve had an aviation setup since I got my HMMWV, I couldn’t imagine driving these beasts without ear pro, nor could I have a conversation with anyone without the headsets.

I'm not correcting you. It's a different mentality with this vehicle, I understand. That said, having owned and wrenched on 30+ cars/truck and 50+ bikes over the years, it's a hard habit to break- associating years with equipment on a vehicle. It's counterintuitive to most people who aren't...

Yellow EESS here - I figure the year/serial would be somewhat relevant for the USMC trucks that were subject to IROAN, as they wouldn't have replaced those components unless something failed, right? I do understand your point here, though. Like any HMMWV, or any .gov vehicle, it's going to be...

Post pics when you do it, I'm too chicken ### to take the lead on this one, but I'll duplicate whatever you come up with. EDIT: I didn't realize that would get flagged - noted. Won't happen again, sorry.

Crummy that all of that would have been avoided with a functioning drain tube. Mine also has a plugged/clogged/smashed one. What is your plan for the drain through the bellhousing? Have it drain on top of the torque converter?

My 1999 does it as well. I use it as my baseline amount of time to warm up before I drive it.

DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE HERE! The sensor grounds to the block, tape will likely affect that and could lead to other issues. The thread is tapered somewhat and seals fine at proper torque, the tape is unnecessary. Regarding the swap, if you’re putting it up in the air, it will help things. I did...

If you have the 200a alternator, I really can’t see how you would be able to do itquickly enough to not lose a good amount of coolant, but maybe if you’re quick, it’s possible. If you just changed it, you could always just dump it back in, I suppose. I needed a flush anyway, but draining it from...

Finally got it sorted- bought the updated gauge and sender from Kascar, now it seems that everything is working as it should be. Apparently the old gauge was reading about 30 degrees high. Odd failure, but I’m just glad it’s sorted. For anyone looking at making this change- you will need to...

I actually ended up going with Kascar for the replacements, sound advice there. Next time I'll stick with my usual mentality - Buy Once, Cry Once.

They're a site sponsor, so I hope this doesn't go against regs, but Midwest Military Equipment sent me a generic Timing Delay Module that looks like some dude made it in his basement, and the Thermostatic switch is clearly not original, either. Neither has the metal wire tags, the TDM has no...

Im experiencing this right now. I’m working on some elements of my cooling system and have bought a handful of parts - searched for using NSN numbers - that are not OEM, but rather some kind of knock-off. No indication that they weren’t OEM from the description, so I installed them and didn’t...
