Trying to follow along here... on a Sunday, in the back pew.
Turn to your Humv hymm book > https://hummerhuren.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/hmmwv_test-diagnostics.pdf < Page 1 - 1 and a reading from pages 13-2
The clutch could be just stuck / gum-rusted up and on or off all the time. Air...
Wait a couple of weeks and there will be lots of plastic political signs available for free. I see one across the street right now, but don't have a softtop.
With some duct tape... one could build a whole cab enclosure on the cheap.
Take your pick, red or blue, CAMO
Daily driver gets to go for a daily drive. Better way to charge the batteries or being a driveway queen.
HumV might be showing signs of a virus, wants to get out and go for a hot drive down the road.
OH. same here. once and a while. Condensation in muffler most likely. Should dissipate...
Systematic mediation under the Humv with the Pelotron creeper. Start with flashlight in hand moving slowly left to right, front to back. Where I shine it... it gets checked and a mental note of what it does, why it's there (or not) then move a little. Do it again. 1-2-3 and 1-2-3 Doesn't...
Ahh... the squeaks, wiggle, wobble and gremlins. I too can't stand noises that don't belong. Real short stories... so gather around the camp fire.
The rattle.
This was a crazy one. At idle, ping ping, pang ping, ding ding, dang ping. Thought I had to live with it, till something blows up or...

It's a hummwv, not a hummer. Forgot you have both, CAMO rofl
Sounds like something is out of round?? Magnetic base and dial indicator on the pulleys one at a time with belt/s off. Crank shaft a little more of a pain, wrenching it around. Check for loose or cracked brackets power steering pump, alternator, you got the idea. Changing the harmonic...
Should see battery voltage during the cycle / cycling time on a cold start. At least a few of seconds. Wait light comes on and off...BUT may NOT be a true indicator that the juice is flowing, See my "CAMO can you can too" post shows how to make a simple $2.99 tester to eliminate the guessing...
I like thinking outside the box too. 🤔
Brainstorming, tossing out ideas, toss some in the dumb file, sketching up a plan, working out the details. All part of home hobby fun.
At some point of the processes way- in the dollars and cents, safety and can I really pull this off... not to mention...
My two cents... From the pictures you have one of the cheaper winning bids for this model. Looks to be mostly complete. Remember surplus doesn't mean 500 dollars jeeps in a crate... Not any more.
They all are going to be a project. Ready - set - go for it.
Take the plunge (that it...
The two small pins are for indexing / alignment and are broken off. The fat two stay on. Switch is slotted and needs to be adjusted to just made contact with the switch cancel flipper. Not sure how these are breaking when set correctly?
Snap, crackle & pop, CAMO
