    Hmmwv problem starting

    Yep doing some homework goes along way in understanding different problems you may be having. And then when asking specific questions you can ask a more narrow question to your problem. If you have an emergency then it would help get quicker solutions if you have an understanding of just the...

    The Road Goes On Forever and the Party Never Ends

    kendelrio, what an adventure! And you went ALL THE WAY! Never flinched and followed your Heart. As I was reading about Bertha "sticking out like a sore thumb" I thought to myself no she is just a misunderstood and unique Machine. And you ended up not sticking your thumb [thumbzup] out for a...

    M1009 won't start

    Has the truck been altered in any way? Glowplug system or fuel system been changed. Verify fuel supply, delivery of fuel to filter, fuel to injector pump. Verify voltage to glowplug relay. Are glowplugs good. Trouble shooting in TM's are very helpfull.

    Cucv Winch mount ideas

    My first tool for recovery was a couple of cable jack wenches. Teenager, mid seventies getting Pops truck stuck in Wicks Bottoms on the Mississippi River, what is now Arnold Missouri. That did not work and 2 Brouk-Zeigler tow trucks were tag teaming each other to drag me and each other out...

    Gen 2 light starts flickering after truck is warmed up

    Check all connections at the alternators, making sure none are breaking at the eyelets. Firewall bussbars, clean connections. How old are your batteries? Have you checked each individual cell for charge with hydrometer? Check wires for chaffing and possible corrosion at any bare spots. Check...

    Soldiers and Marines paying to pimp their HMMWVs

    If you do not watch the movies or the news , or listen to the congress always talking about the cost to run old outdated equipment or the newspapers claiming that half the planes or helicopters have been scavenged for parts to keep a third of them running then how can you not know. That has...

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    Very good purchase! Very clean like it was in storage or an important person was using that machine. Someone kept very good care of that truck. Either someone cleaned it for pictures or it had been in the rain recently. And the Marines were using it, could of been acquired from the Air Force...

    M35A3 Rim Restoration and Tire Swap Project (Picture-Heavy)

    Detail is in your own personal effort. There is nothing like Knowing that the job was done correctly and to your satisfaction. And that later knock on wood that when you need to fix or change a tire or rim that the job will be easier because of the effort done now.

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    I would rather have the SF 97 for Missouri as I have to apply for title anyway. That gives me the paper trail from Uncle Sugar to me showing I purchased from U.S. and not an auction house. I would put pressure on so they do not forget but they can just as easily play paper games also. When you...

    TX replacement value?

    Also keep any receipts attached to the vehicle. Parts, new tires, equipment, drivetrain, anything that you have spent extra on. Even labor can be assessed to the overall damage claim. Missouri used to be a the owner of title decides what happens to the vehicle after total. The vehicle was paid...

    OHIO BMV Changed my Street Legal Title from Virginia to Off Road USE only

    I suppose that they can impound the truck and make you pay heavy fines and towing in and out. If going through some states you can get a temp tag to motor through or if your state is legal the other state has to recognize your plate for legal travel.
