I think the humvees should be treated like class III weapons. No resale, must be in your possession if inspection requested, and no sales to non United States citizens. Sorry, had to throw my opinion on the matter out there.
Oh, no clicking whatsoever? How about looking at the voltmeter and note where it is when you first turn the key to "run", and if it moves any during and after the wait light cycle.
Then, I would consider the batteries good enough. If it is turning over (cranking), yet not firing, then there's no fuel. Could be glow plugs with the wait light taking so long to go out. Do you hear the relay clicking?
I hear ya! This is why I keep gasket material on hand. Blowing 1.5 hours, for the round trip to town on the rare nice days good enough to work on stuff, is frustrating.
I will try resizing. Phone is Android, Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, browser is Chrome, connection is Straighttalk/AT&T. 1.56 Mbps upload speed. Picture size that uploaded on one thread, but not the other, is 9.6 Mb.
I just couldn't upload on one thread and the same pic did upload on another thread. When it fails, it just dont even show the "text" that refers to the picture, before trying to hit the "post quick reply". So that might help, or make it more confusing.
Well now, I must say that no longer stands to be the case as I nearly got stuck twice yesterday, pulling my CUCV out. It wiggled it's way out, but barely. Now I know where the wet springs are in my field.
Just got mine unstuck! It was only sinking an inch or two but it was so wet on top, it only spun. Then the locker in the rear messed me up more by making the rear-end kick out on a slope, sliding into a fence. No damage ensued, as I shut it down immediately and hoofed it. Took my 5 ton out...
Eh, never a challenge for these 6x6s. I remember while stationed in Germany, the truck I was issued never spun a tire in snow or mud. One time I was all excited as we were out training in some sloppy mud and I thought, "Now I can make some rooster tails". Well, that sure didn't happen. The beast...
That's good stuff! Low light, keys rattling; it's all part of the "effect". The 6.2 was purring however. I worked it good today too. Picked up 1800 lbs. of concrete. The suspension barely dropped. Had the rollin' coal on a couple of hills.
Just towed a friend home with the CUCV. Some steeper hills was a little muddy, so I recorded a piece of the steepest one, in 4-low feathering the throttle.

That's awesome! I have a perimeter road around my property. Sometimes I just randomly fire up my '08 and hit the loop. Might be 0300 hrs, might be 1700 hrs.
