+1 on using an intercomm. I pieced together a used aviation setup from Softcomm and spent about $150 total. Works well. If you want insulated and creature comforts, seems you want an H1, not a Humvee. Bulldogger

They are called Ancra Buckles. I bought a bag of NOS mil spec ones from an eBay vendor but they're so flimsy I haven't bothered to install them. I am not aware of a source for metal versions. Bulldogger

I've been doing the same. Started remodeling in January and just finished. Hauled 3 tons (!) of debris to the landfill using my HMMWV and M116A2 radar trailer. Now she's hauling the garage contents to my wife's house nearby. We're finally living in one house. HMMWV is doing fine, despite...

Nothing left sorry

Nicer than my inner tube chunks... Well done!

Perform the parking brake calibration from the post-brake pads clause in the TM. If the parking brake is dragging it will interfere a little, and also overheat/smell, but not enough to impact transmission shifting, so I agree with those who say it's another problem also. BDGR

Very interesting. I will double check those on my rig. Yesterday the Wait light wouldn't go out, and no joy on cranking. In my case after seeing nothing obvious in the wiring, I disconected the batteries and reconnected. She fired right up after 10s Wait light and ran fine the rest of the...

Remember that's Transmission Fluid, same as the trans, not power steering fluid. ATF Bulldogger

I'm thankful for this thread. Commisserations, yours looks slighty worse than the one I inherited as-is. My lunette is fully shoved rearward, no forward movement. Getting a Master Cylinder was easy and not expensive, but I am not looking forward to all the other bits that must be smashed...

That would do it! BDGR

Congrats! I second the "sounds good". Surprising given the amount of neglect it's had. Well-done!

Quick disconnects are used by some for ease of maintenance of the fan clutch ad and steering assembly (since they both run off the steering pump). The recommended, and most common location is NOT there. No good reason to need one there as far as I can say. That hasn't been a point of failure...

Wire brush and a big can of elbow grease did all 4 of mine. I probably couldn't do it now, as I'm having neck disc troubles in my C4,5,6,7. A wire wheel on low speed might work? BDGR

Sure the fuel lines are clear and pumps can handle full load/flow? Distributor not advancing? I assume the M37 dizzy has flyweights, or is it vacuum advance? easy to have those little springs rust or the vacuum advance seize or leak. Hard to see a vacuum leak at the advance, but you could...

I'd swear one of the original Army videos for operator familiarization showed them shifting while running and trans in neutral. I'm happy to change that practice. BDGR

If you blew through the line (and that was worth checking), you definitely should bleed the injectors now. BDGR

The IP may be the culprit, especially since it's a known failure item. Before I read that explanation, my thoughts were blocked lines. Easy enough to blow them out with low pressure compressed air. A line can have partial blockage and still pass fuel briefly in good quantity form that stored...

Looks nice and tidy. Has anyone figured a good mounting style/hardware for AR pistol size weapons? Bulldogger

It is widely recommended as a preventive maintenance action when injectors may have air in them, causing one or more cylinders to not be fed and fueled properly. Trapped air and poor fueling can destroy an engine; in the case of gas engines I had a classmate who ran out of gas and her mechanic...
