    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    Thanks! I believe I did... I have going over it and looking for issues. I could have done much worse. Its mostly there and only missing a few odds and ends. I believe the items missing may have been lazy mechanic not putting back all items. I looked at the tires closer and only one is 14 years...

    Got the transmission working. Whatever was in line was on the coil wire of the relay was the issue. Looks like one of the hoses for the power steering is leaking. I think I found the reason the one of the master cylinder res was empty. I think I have a leaky front caliper. Does anybody know...

    What should be the normal charging voltage for the batteries? I think my is running a little high. 14.6 on and 14.5 on the other and 29.1 across both batteries. The gauge needle is pointing just into the red.

    Things that I have done to this point. The glow plugs are not working. The truck will start with a small shot of either and runs like a top. Diesel is leaking on one of the lines on the top right side engine. I think this is the supply line. The truck had no brakes! Brake light was lite...

    As I hurry up and wait... SHIPPING a HMMWV?

    I used Uship to find a shipper... All I will say is I am glad I had the truck shipped. Right now there a good storm in Northern California and my truck is just south of the storm. I told the driver he could wait if he didn't want to deal with the passes. More waiting as fast as I can!
