I just made and offer that was accepted for that set of tools too. The guy seems to be in a good mood, if you've some cash to spare, I would suggest you make a reasonable offer! Bulldogger

More than enough there for a restoration. Sorry about the tank, yick. Hope to see your restoration thread start up shortly :-) ! Bulldogger

I have one in Alexandria VA, not terribly west, but I might could make her available. dk8019's might be closer. Mine is an '87 in camo with solid green doors though. Does fit the bill of looking careworn. Bulldogger

Neat! I'd never seen these. Will watch them this weekend with Soldier B, otherwise known as my 7yo son. He will enjoy them, and secretly learn, bwahahahahaha. (It's a parent thing.) About that transfer case shifting.... HMMWV's can shift the transfer case while the engine is running...

Welcome from Alexandria VA, not far away

+1 to the above items in particular, but all are true. My favorite thing to say to people when they are walking up close to look inside is "Careful! Don't scratch the paint!" This is just to mess with them, obviously, since the paint is terrible... But it gets a laugh. Most common question...

Is the fuel clean? Drain the tank and replace all fuel filters if you haven't. The fuel in mine probably sat for 10 years. Once it's running, several tanks of injector cleaner treatment are recommended as well. I won't start a fight by saying which one I prefer because that's like saying my...

Congratulations on the follow-through, most would not stick with the amount of work needed. And I'll add to the previous thank-you for letting us know how she's doing, and that she's getting the attention a veteran deserves. I'm a bit too far away to help, sorry, but I wish you well. Keep...

There is a ground wire from the back of the instrument cluster that connects to the firewall near the fuel filter, and another ground from the harness on that side. Check them both. Your gauges might not be properly mounted either, one of mine was not mounted properly in back, for example...

You did the right thing, but I totally would have been tempted too. It's hard to resist saving old green iron, but we can't save them all. It might pop up again, keep an eye out. If you have space to let it sit and can spare that $1000 or so you mentioned, you could call him in a month and...

What comms rig are you using? Would like one to talk to my 7yo in the HMMWV. Bulldogger

For an air compressor tank, Kreem would probably work fine. I don't think it's any more or less expensive, so kind of a personal preference or availability call then. I have had Kreem soften up and leak in bike gas tanks, especially with ethanol gas, but I did not apply it so I cannot speak to...

I don't see why not. Careful application is the only hangup, but entirely controllable by the person doing the work. POR15 make another similar product aimed at the auto restoration market to seal and protect car/truck frames. They have long experience in making product that adheres well and...

I've used this with good results on motorcycle gas tanks. Note that the vinegar will remove metal if left in there long enough. If you're interested in sealing the interior, I will put a plug in here for POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer. I have used it several times, and as long as you prepare the...

Each headlight has its own ground wire, should have a metal tag labeled "91". Since they BOTH flicker, in that case I'd check the light control panel connection, though that is a screwed in connector, so shouldn't be a problem. It occurs to me, that on my HMMWV I noticed that if I turned the...

I had trouble/concern with the limited window of Ft Meade and arranging transport during their limited window (which was the local Defense Logistics Agency policy NOT GP's), so sent a concerned email to customer service. They replied promptly and said they'd be flexible, and they were. Once I...

Mine is holding up fine. I bought it mostly bc it was locally available, and I won't argue w RWH. If I ever find myself having to remove it, I will likely take the time to source the OEM replacement. But that said, mine is showing no issues and is still tight. I haven't tried loosening it or...

As of the present moment, I am into my HMMWV for about twice the auction "win" price. It is full mission capable, and I would drive her anywhere. She's an older 6.2L, and perhaps not as fast or capable as later models, but "not much" is still a heckuva lot more than I need or plan to attempt...

That spot is a concentration of plumbing that all use ATF as the working fluid. Need to crawl around under it and see if you can find the leak. On my HMMWV almost EVERY SINGLE hose clamp needed tightened once I get her running. Saved me a lot of potential unnecessary replacements and repairs...
