Absolutely!!!! And it is an opportunity to teach kids the importance of knowing more about a motor vehicle than just putting in fuel and using a key.
Best,

I am at just over 2 months now for my Camo 4 man crew kit. Sent an email a few days ago and haven’t heard back.
Hoping for the same response!

TOBASH... I got to ask, Where are you putting your hands to get the back of the fingers all greased up?
That HumV must be really clean now, CAMO
Little tip... if you have to bare hand it ?? Use lots of hand cream. They will clean-up a lot easier and smell good too.

Hand creme makes tools slip. I just used a judicious amount of soap and a scrub brush and my hands are baby clean.TOBASH... I got to ask, Where are you putting your hands to get the back of the fingers all greased up?

Besides, if ya' ain't getting dirty you ain't playing hard enough.
Gonna use engine degreaser and warm water and my pressure sprayer to clean the under hood area. Also gotta find and clean the hose or drain or whatever in my intake manifold to drain the valley before the people living on the plain get flooded out. LOL Lotsa water there.

I like the bright fluorescent green ones from Auto Zone. Here comes the alien and the HumV is nervous, CAMO

The best part was my fuel priming process..A little unorthodox.. I used a shop vac hooked up to my water/fuel separator bleeder valve.. 3 seconds and fuel made it to the filter.. 10 second crank... 10 second crank.. Fire .. Didn’t even have to open my injectors to bleed air 
Hey, it’s running like a champ , that’s all I can say ... And the $99 Wally World 24F 750CCA batteries are cranking machines.. So far .........And I found this today

Here we go! 6.5 2015 rebuild. It’s got to be better than the tied up 6.2 that’s in there now.

No shoppe vac needed.Just to aggravate me forever... now I have 20 rattling rivet pieces inside my tailgate

Drill a 1/2 inch hole, and pull the rear tailgate and rock her back and forth until they all fall out. A hole in the corner will maximize your efforts.
[EDIT - drill hole on underside and close to the corner, and on the back away from where it is visible. Purchase plastic plugs ahead of time to then plug all your holes including the one for parts removal.]

That's like really a lot of work to remove a starter.

Well it’s a lot easier to remove than put back in. But I’m pulling the trans with the engine so if I can get to the wires I’ll leave it on.That's like really a lot of work to remove a starter.
