. I have to agree with the previous posts about speed and a big military truck. Going fast just isn't what it was made for. Don't know if you have ever overtaken a military convoy on the interstate or not... I have always noticed them running in the right lane somewhere between 45 and 50...

. Yes sir and cleaning that block should help you even if it looks good by eye. Those gremlins are dang difficult to beat down... The HMMWV isn't really like other trucks where the frame is the ground. Wires feeding the tail lights (plastic buckets) for example have a ground wire in the loom...

. I am guessing that you are buying NOS cab bushings? Maybe not stored in a climate controlled environment? There are several folks here using 3D Printers to create new bushings for the LMTV. They appear to be about the size of a HMMWV bushing... I personally have zero experience with...

. Nobody wants to do it, but a weekend spent with several brass tooth brushes and a tube of Anti-Oxidation paste will solve a lot of electrical gremlins. start at the batteries. Clean them up, apply AntiOx and then disconnect everything wire by wire (one at the time), clean them, apply...

. It doesn't look new. More like a factory defect. Doesn't look bad to me - unless you wanted to "go new" while you are down that far into the rebuild.

. I can imagine at a half mile a gallon - it would be like in the teenager years - take up a collection for gas from your pals without cars...

. That's a heck of an idea! Maybe even replace the screw that holds it in place with a little knob... Drop both pieces in your pocket and you have a cheap anti-theft device for sure. Just need to be sure that you have a spare knob hidden away somewhere in the truck.

. Well, I can imagine a balancer showing wiggle. After all, it is rubber supporting a ring of metal. Shouldn't be but it could happen. With a FluDamper that shouldn't he happening though. If you can set it up, a dial indicator on the crank should tell the story. Can't really imagine how...

. Wow! It's amazing what some paint over all the fixes will do... SHARP looking truck!

. I have to agree with the idea of having three of me sometimes. One could go out in the yard and dig up that leaking pipe. The other could get out the weed sprayer and walk around doing that job - and the third (the real me) could go out in a big green truck for a joy ride. And if I had a...

. Dang Right!! Older is good :cool:

. Yeoooow! Dang that looks like it hurts... Been there. Done that and it isn't any fun. As far as the truck and turbo is concerned, it looks good! Guessing that was a nice way to keep your mind off your sore toe.

. But the floor looks really nice... I'm just looking forward to cooler weather! Outside projecting really is tough in the heat.

. Well congratulations! Nice to see that you have a garage to keep your New-To-You Mutt safe from stupid people. Really nice looking truck for sure. Welcome to the Outfit! Don't forget that the TM's (Technical Manuals) for that vehicle are here as a free download. Need to rummage the Link...

. A little time spent under the dash (beside the E-Brake) is a ground in the thread that @ezgn referred you to. That ground in particular, a wire brush (small - tooth brush sized), and a tube of Anti-Oxidation Paste will make the entire truck happier. Read the link to find the others. Another...

. I know you did - but be certain - that you had the wheels chocked. It would make you have a really BAD DAY if you got run over by your own truck!

. What about a known good ground? The instrument panel in a Deuce is held in place with four Zeus Fasteners in the corners. Sometimes the gauges loose ground and "go wonky". If you have a long piece of 14 gauge wire and some vice grips - clip it to the negative post on a battery, then attach...

. Thanks @Ronmar ! I'm hoping that @Jhart01 got the information you just posted and that what I had sent might be useful as well... I figured with enough pictures - maybe we could get him up and running. Tires sitting on rims is "bad mojo" for sure!

. Yessir. This site doesn't host videos - but links work well and you generally even get a preview from the link.

. You might have gotten a little better response if you had posted this in Current Conflict, FMTV. Can't always know where to put things - and for all I know - as a new member this (Conversations) may have been the only place you could post. ANYHOW, link below is where you should find...
