. Wow! Well, that is good news for sure and a lot less expensive than it could have been. Having a way to measure fluid pressure is a nice addition too.

. 30 years ago, City Truck with a loader on the back of a trailer. Improperly tied down, too fast for the curve and the dozier slid off the trailer deck. Every time I go around that curve - I still see the chew marks in the concrete median. For me - A good reminder. For everybody else it...

. Keep an eye on that particular item... It could end up "through the blocks" again because the winner figured out he or she had paid too much after the auction was complete. Penalty for that too... Doesn't have a winch. The listing mentions hydraulics - and yes - technically the cab jack...

. Yessir! Item #5 with metal tracks on a trailer with metal between the tandems as it "breaks over" can get "hairy". Especially if there happens to be a little rain or ice. There can even be "bite marks" on the seat... :)

. Good Plan @MattNC ! Having a gauge for transmission temp is definitely a good investment. MUCH more useful for example than a stereo or a USB charging port...

. Congratulations on your New-To-You vehicle! It looks pretty good to me. Yeah, lots of work to be done, but definitely in relatively good shape. Yes sir, if you haven't loaded or unloaded a vehicle - looking at nothing but sky - is an adventure for sure.

. Agreed. And, sad but true

. Good plan. Heli-Coil is definitely the way to go. At least it will be a one time and done solution to the bolt problem. Always makes you wonder WHY when the original fixer knew that he (she) monkeyed the threads - and didn't fix it then and there...

. Don't try to be too helpful. If you happen to know where the VIN is, leave it alone. The PD folks will be much happier if they use their own wire brush to clean the spot where the number is stamped.

. I wouldn't complain! Old Version, Early Version, either would be fine by me. Especially if all I had to do was get it home. :cool:

. Give the connections a good cleaning with a wire brush, then a little Anti-Oxidation paste and then put the connections back together. Pretty much the same thing that @Keith_J said - with me just being a little more specific on cleaning up "the creeping crud...

. You could call it a Field Of Dreams too... How much fun would it be to have that playground to play in!?

. That sort of thing is a concern for me, but I am just a lowly Citizen. I'm sure it started before then, but back in the 90's large computer companies were working to improve their bottom line. Everything was being pushed "off-shore" to cut manufacturing costs. ECAT - Electronic Card...

. I got you covered @Curtisje . Junction Block picture is below.

. That really is the magic of places like Steel Soldiers - where there are folks who "really know their stuff" and are willing to share.

. Just to stir the pot - I have to say GOOD FOR YOU and all the rest of us for not using "Made in China" parts on your MV and your HMMWV in particular. It just ain't right to have foreign parts on a US military truck. And yeah, I know. The chips and cards and other computer parts aren't...

. Yeah... Some "wire loom" will make your wiring job appear a lot more factory than tape and you will say a lot less bad words if you ever need to work on the wiring in the future. SummitRacing.com is a good source to buy the cloth wire loom.

. That is the only drawback. You can buy and entire ROLL of PEX for less than a big bag of fittings. Sad as it is to say, the brass check valves are expensive - but they "beat the stuffins" out of CPC (Cheap Plastic Crap). Waking up to wet feet because the plastic busted generally won't make...
