    Can you verify these glow plugs to be Wellmans?

    Well, I looked for the receipt or the boxes they came in, and can't find em. Sucks, cuz I have a folder with all the receipts and part numbers in it, but I guess they didn't make it into the folder. I might have stuck them somewhere else.

    Can you verify these glow plugs to be Wellmans?

    Hmm, that's strange. Mine were packaged like sparkplugs. Little individual boxes for each one. I'll dig thru my receipts tomorrow and see where I got em from.

    Can you verify these glow plugs to be Wellmans?

    My plugs came in individual little boxes with the NSN number printed on each one. Never had any come in a bag.

    Anyone know what this wiring is?

    I have the same little nub. I think most do. It's wiring for the equipment that would be on the radio tray.

    Seat belts

    Nice! They look good in black. Mine are green, but I painted the entire truck including the interior black, so the green belts look slightly out of place. Btw, nice FD!

    Fiberglass X Doors

    My doors from WKS needed to be drilled out too. Not a big deal. Easy to do.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Batteries are new. Truck turns over quickly. Of course it decided to do this when it's frigid here. lol

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The glow plugs decided they don't want to work anymore. It's been low 20s° here during the day and around 5° at night. So it's beached until I figure out why they decided to quit. Right now all I know is the start box does turn on the wait light, and is definitely doing something as I hear it...

    Can anyone tell me what motor is in this HMMWV?

    Unrelated, but I recognize this truck. I've seen it on duty, doing detail work.

    M1097R1 Running Cold?

    My 1097A2 runs cold in the winter. The only time it warms up is on the highway going 75mph. Around town, it'll struggle to crack 180, and if it's decently cold, it'll barely reach 160. Sucks, because the heat doesn't get that hot.

    Both tail light are mostly out but some times they come on.

    I had a similar issue with the tails but coming on at all, sometimes flickering, or staying on constantly. Traced it back to a faulty brake light switch. There was no way to adjust it to the point where they would work properly. A new switch solved everything.

    Anybody have a bird just fly right into your HMMWV windshield?

    Never had it happen. Mine just collect bugs and test their luck with rocks flying at them.

    Tunnel clearance question

    You'll have room when it comes to the trans, as it isn't super tight against the tunnel. The fuel tank is pretty damn close to the tunnel. Iirc I think it's about 3/4" between the top of the tank and tunnel, maybe a little closer.

    Sound deadening, sound proofing - which have you done and what are your results?

    All I know is my truck doesn't have insulation in it, just bed liner sprayed in the entire tub. It's pretty damn loud, especially above 55mph.

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Yup, stock 4 speed truck. It maintains 70mph pretty easy. The only time it needs to work a little hard is when the hills start. Even then, it's not bad.

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Windows tinted! I wanted to go with 20% all around, but all I had left was 5% and 35%. I bitched out and did 35% all around. I guess it's not a huge deal, as the sunset around here is getting closer to 5pm now, and will end up damn near almost 4pm soon enough. So it'll be easier to see out of in...

    Did front brakes today. Whoever decided to place the drivers side front caliper where it is, needs a swift kick to the dick.
