Took the truck to Hidden Falls Adventure park, what a beast, got to use the brake modulation technique.
On a different note, has anyone done business with ComTac? I bought a voltage regulator and 2 air filters among other things and got a used rather than new regulator that had clearly been...
Needed a hitch receiver on the HMMWV to hold a winch and instead of buying a $150 part, spent far more $$ on a plasma cutter and welder from Harbor Freight and a bit of 3/8 plate steel and about 3 or 4 hours of my evenings this past week. Not the prettiest welds but I think she'll hold. Grade 8...
I did have to remove the 2 rear bolts and pushed the starter to the side for installation. I used a new felpro seal in the rear but made the gasket from black RTV as it came from the factory.
Got an aluminum radiator installed and found cheap AGM batteries with a 4 year warranty.
Thanks for the advice, definitely putting all new rubber while I've got it stripped down.
Your rig is awesome, love the setup. I have all 2 seat variants and haven't gotten to the point of upgrading yet.
Picked up a 2003 1097 with 42 original miles, which I hope doesn't turn around to bite me. A forklift operator was kind enough to dent the oil pan right under the pickup so my first order of business was replacing the pan. Next step is to install a radiator and see if this thing runs!

Thanks for your help, definitely considering a swap to a more affordable/accessible 24v alternative. I'll double check the voltage on wire #5. Thanks again!
I recently acquired a 2013 M1152 from GovPlanet and got it running and driving again, however it has a 400A alternator with a no charge situation. Voltage across the batteries is reading 24.5v (each battery is at 12.3v with engine off) while engine is running or not, volt meter gauge is showing...
I don't really have control of the logistics, I paid for shipping via VeriTread 4 months ago. Congrats on finally getting your EUC! Glad the wait is finally over.
Just picked up a M923A2 - http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=8985753 - and didn't realize I won't need to fill out an EUC and wait for it to process. Originally I figured I could obtain my CDL before the paperwork was processed but now it's looking like the truck has to be...
