Idk if it’s the weather, but my truck [2009 m1165a1 REV] seemingly sprung power steering, front Diff, brake caliper(?) and a rear main seal(?) leak all witching the last few weeks. 1- how do I go about determining where my power steering is actually leaking from? Hoses? Fittings? Clamps...

I recently installed a rhino spare tire carrier on my truck. It’s pretty sweet, except when I want to drop the tailgate. It’s like a 10 minute procedure to get out the wrench, wrench it up swing it outa the way etc etc. Has anyone modified the latching plate to quicken the process?

I want to add a rear ‘cyclops’ run/stop light to my truck. Is it possible to use a 12v light in the 24v system, if I swap the bulbs over to LED? 24v uses thinner wiring, so the rest of the housing should be good, right? The LED should drop the amperage pulled and would be compatible with 24v...

I currently have and love a REV 1165. It’s my only experience driving these trucks. I’m wanting to get a second truck as a work and ranch vehicle. There are a lot more 1123s and 1097s at auction than any 1165s or 1152s, and they sell for less. To those who own or have driven both - how much...

I need to replace the fan clutch on my truck. This is a REV model with the extended snout and geared fan drive, so it is different than most. I need to remove the radiator to get to the fan clutch., and I need to remove the Oil cooler to get to the radiator. The Oil cooler does engine Oil...

I’ve loved my humvee project since buying it two years ago. I want to get another one, a REV non-runner, as a bigger project. I’m just wondering how long I can wait before the auctions come to an end?

What prices should one budget when shipping a truck from auction? I paid 1800 a few years ago, but that was a running truck and going through a big online shipping company. I’ve been shopping the auctions and should know what to expect for shipping costs. I’m 7hours from the Georgia location...

My ac is not working in my 1165. I don’t really know where to start, but I figured getting all the pieces connected was a good idea so. I also have not found the proper TM section yet. The rear evaporator was removed and oil leaked out of one of the lines. I wasn’t sure if I need to top off...

Are there any OEM lights —tail lights, running lights, turn signals — that come in black? Or does AMGenral only make them in Green? I see lots of black ones online but I assume those are knockoffs?

As much as I’d like to fix my own vehicle and learn more about it, I’m finding I really just don’t have the time.id be able to drive it more if I could get it fixed for me. I’m not expecting to find any Humvee mechanics around my area, but has anyone had luck with diesel shops that have...

I’m away visiting family for the summer, so I can’t get these measurements. And we need to buy a new cooler, one of those expensive yeti style ones. Id like a cooler to fit up above the rear tire, strapped down on top of the fender. So if someone could tell me the width of the fender...

It’s finally summer here in TN. 90 degrees today. Coming home from a trail, I went 8-9 miles on a major road doing 60 mph. Engine temps shot up and the red idiot light came on as it was overheating. Coolant temps have never been an issue before. I did not expect that, given that the REV...

My truck has the updated HVAC ducting on the dash. It also has this one duct which seemingly runs from the passenger area, inside the tunnel, then out at the drivers feet. I get little to no airflow through it at all. It doesn’t look plugged up? I’m thinking of closing it off to quiet down...

My town is dealing with some ice and snow from this big storm that’s hit a lot of the country. My wife jokingly asked if I’d take the humvee out today because of the snow. I didn’t, and I was just out in my F150. while driving, my ABS braking system activated a few times, and I wondered what...

I bought a box of small led lights labeled “rock lights”. I installed them as reverse lights and because I had an extra, an interior dome light. I am powering these lights with that Orion 12v converter. When running the wire I kept checking my circuits with a 12v battery charger to make sure...

Went off road for the first time recently. I had some trouble shifting the T case. It would grind gears when trying to shift. Park (for the trans) seemed to work for shifting into HL but not always. I took a video https://youtube.com/shorts/Dc-h9FPj7C8 but the only time I got it into L...

I found some pictures of older vehicles with the color I wanted, here they are: https://garbee.net/~cabell/december/veteransday2004/vetday19.jpg https://garbee.net/~cabell/december/mounteagle/monteaglerally%20017.jpg And also the m715 in this thread...

I’ve searched around and have not found any winch options for the REV trucks. I believe they have different radiator mountings than other ECV trucks and that might affect winch positioning?? If there isn’t a simple solution, what do people think of mounting a trailer hitch receiver up front...

I purchased a new set of housings as some are cracked. Having them in my hand - I’m wondering if this plastic is UV stable?? It just seems like it’s not, and should be painted, to prevent them from cracking in the future. Curious if painting is necessary or not??
