New battery
5 gallons of diesel
No fuel tank neck/filler and no cap.
New to me truck, from the govplanet,
Since the fuel filter canister was emptied, I disconnected 54A, cranked it a few times and fuel came out of the line.
Plugged 54a back in and it turns over but won't start.
Also, I did...
Hi,
Got my M1097A2 from the yard and saw that I don't have the brake line to the right rear (passenger rear).
Eastern surplus shows this part as the right part (see pics), but when I look at my truck, at the T (shown), there is a metal tube not rubber.
Looking under my truck it looks like...
I have a M1097A2, I won't be doing any major off-roading, and jumping the grand canyon or anything.
I have read many things on kill switches, placement, etc, so I wanted to ask everyone here (people who actually know a thing or two)...
I think the safest place to put a kill switch would be...
Thank you very much, I appreciate the help and input, a few people here just yell at you and tell you to look at the manual. I do appreciate your help and can assure you, once I get out of 'emergency mode' having her able to actually move out of my friends yard. Until then though, it's a mad...

Hi,
I just got a 2003 M1097A2 and of course it has the big block of stuff where the positive wire connects and then there are smaller wires on different battery cables, and other runs that are connected and some that are just cut off.
All I want is the HMMWV to run, I don't want to add any...

If anyone could help, I would appreciate it.
I just got a 2003 M1097A2.
Can anyone tell me the size wrench I'll need for the fill and drain plugs on the Xfr case?
Also, can anyone tell me how to read this tranny dip stick...
Thanks for the great info, 2 quick things;
A. I bought diff brake fluid yesterday but I will go get the dot 5 (looks like Napa has some).
B. I bought some coolant from walmart yesterday, it says it has ethylene glycol in it, not sure if it’s green.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
This wasn't a planned purchase and I am having the hmmwv delivered tomorrow and I have to get it up and running ASAP. Apparently the DOD had all fluids dumped because they were going to crush it. So in addition to the oil, tranny, etc I have to do the...
I thought that I saw before that you needed to run the fan and have the heater turned up to allow the coolant to flow through the system so there were no air bubbles or whatnot.
I don't know, this is completely new to me so I appreciate the input / feedback / help that everyone is providing...
Hi everyone,
New to me m1097a2 doesn't have the heater fan switch... does anyone know the wiring numbers so I can by a local switch to temporarily get it working while I wait for a real replacement?
Thank you!
Hi all,
brand new to this, didn't even expect to win the bid but here I am.
Couple of quick things.
First, can I temporarily wire in a switch for the fan heater, this is missing and I will need to run the fan to make sure the coolant is getting circulated (from what I understand).
