The engine shuddered
Maybe the lift pump failed. Maybe an electrical connector in the ignition circuit failed. Maybe the fuel pickup in the tank is plugged. Usually I suspect the injection pump but it’s safe to eliminate that at this point. -
Changing the flywheel
Nightmare? You just pull the T98 and then it's basically a clutch job. -

It runs, then it doesn't.
You are wise to get your pump overhauled. I like to pull and replace the pump with the lines attached like a big spider. -
Possible registration number?
Looks like you are very close to already knowing what you will learn from the foia inquiry. Internet searches might get you the unit histories even if the units are disbanded. -
Stuck brake hose fittings
It's a somewhat destructive method but try gripping the fitting with Vice-grips. -
Possible registration number?
Registration number will be on the VIN plate in the door jamb. NG****** -

Hurricane Advice: HMMWV will not move!
Sounds like a CV joint is broken. Put it in gear and look for shafts spinning at all 4 corners. -

What is spinning in the panel is called a Riv-nut. You will need to carefully drill out the bolt and then the old riv-nut, and then replace the riv nut with a new one. McMaster Carr has riv-nuts. -

Puller is on the wrong way. Push on the threaded end. -

Three lever switch
The only time I had issues with tripping the breaker on 12 volts was when pulling a civilian trailer with lots of clearance lights. Very scary to be going down a dark highway that night and have every single light go off. -
Three lever switch
Nope they are all the same and the breaker is sealed inside. -
Three lever switch
Yes, the M880s used the switch with 12 volts, however, unless you are using LED headlights, you will be close to the trip point of the internal circuit breaker. -
