    ECV vs REV Series Trucks

    Whether or not the Enhancements shown above are included in REV A or B, is it the consensus that all listed are included in the final REV vehicles? I am trying to determine which enhancements are remaining on my M1165A1 with Serial Number 243,XXX. So far, I can see that the Airlift brackets and...

    1991 HMMWV overheating

    Had a similar issue yesterday.... Thankfully I was watching the gauge when the truck went over 220 and fan did NOT kick on, so some coolant started boiling over and I pulled over to let it cool. Unplugging the Cadillac valve and the TDM causes the fan to engage properly to cool the engine, so...

    1991 HMMWV overheating

    My 6.5 got hot today because the fan did not engage over 220. The Cadillac valve verifies good (properly engages fan clutch when unplugged from harness), but the Thermostatic Switch has no effect on fan clutch, whether plugged in or unplugged. Does that confirm that the thermostatic switch is...

    High back seat kit install

    Anyone install the front high back seats kit in their HMMWV that can give me some pointers? Anyone do video instructions? I’m starting the process today and the instructions that came with it are no good. And I’m 6’5” so need all the legroom I can get.

    Turret Leak Fix Materials

    Yep. It stopped 90% of the water from coming in... even in a rainstorm. There are small gaps & creases that allow water in, but would be too much of a hassle to try and seal. This was a successful "axe approach" to weatherproofing!

    HMMWV Bed Toolbox

    I've been waiting for one of those Special Forces Toolboxes to install in the bed of my HMMWV, but am thinking they're long gone. Wondering if one of these would suffice... (CARC'ed of course). What do you guys think?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    To *help* prep for the wet weather, I got a FRAG #5 Armor Seal Kit to use as weatherstripping for my doors. Worked great!

    Humvee slantback & hardtop questions

    A lot of wisdom being spoken here. And I can vouch for 86hmmwv and Retiredwarhorses - great guys to deal with. I couldn't have built this without them.

    Winter & HMMWVs

    If you haven't done it yet, I'd put a fresh set of glow plugs in. That'll do wonders for starting the engine on a cold winter morning.

    No shortage of rolling stock

    Barstow/Yermo MCLB is a Logistics base strategically located with tons of equipment ready to deploy by rail, so most of it will never be for sale. Picked up there last year and scheduled a base tour and it blew my mind to see all that heavy equipment ready to deploy. Truly amazing. The...
