Because the fuel is being sucked from the tank, finding air leaks can be hard. Mine was loosing prime and it made it hard to start. I installed a 24volt electric fuel pump at the tank so I was pushing the fuel up to the engines fuel pump. After running at an idle for a few minutes, we spotted...

We have been working with our state government for a few years in Michigan. The Secretary of State and the last two governors sited the same lame excuses to keep HMMWV’s off the road and block legal registration. Let me blow holes in their misguided “logic”. 1) They don’t meet federal vehicle...

Well this makes some sense. Perhaps the reason for the “no sale after use” clause had something to do with a license agreement with GM so the sale of military HMMWV’s didn’t interfere with the sale of civilian Hummers. I still don’t know what the arrangement was between AM an GM for the Hummers...

First off, welcome the site. I only have one Diesel truck and it doesn’t have glow plugs so I won’t be much help to you. Do you have the Technical Manuals (TM’s) yet? If not, go to forums above, scroll down to “Present Conflict Vehicles” in this forum you will find the TM’s for your vehicle...

Please say it isn’t so! Why in the world would AM General do something that took their vehicles off the roads? Lawyers no doubt. AM was probably afraid of law suits if someone got hurt in a crash...

Welcome to this site and the hobby. It’s really nice that you and your dad can do this together. You are building more than a truck... Enjoy every minute! Be sure to check in here as you progress. We all like to see these projects. If you have any questions about that truck, you will find...

I’m going to be there with my 5 ton. I will be a member of the MVPA convoy. I have done some extensive modifications to my 934, so it might be disqualified. For the most part the exterior still look stock but the interior is not. On the other hand, if I am the only 5 ton entered, I might have a...

I’m glad to see it went to a good home. You did good Mullaney!

Through a cot with a lounge chair pad in the back. Some mosquito net might be good to have. Enjoy the adventure!

I wired backup lights on my flatbed trailer. I use the center pin on the 7 pin trailer cable. For lights I use two small fog lights mounted under the deck. It is helpful backing up at night. I am not aware of a connection in the military vehicle trailer connector for a backup light. I don’t...

Welcome from Michigan. This is a good place to hang out with good folks...

As long as it checks out mechanically, I would just drive it home. Have a chase vehicle and a few good friends go with you. I promise you will never forget the adventure! I brought my M934 home in January. Cold as all get out, drove it off the lot on 8 year old fuel. We were 1,000 miles from...

Hey TJ4man, Welcome to the site... When I saw your avitar I thought you stole mine. :) Turns out we just have the same truck. I converted mine to a motor home. I took a couple years working on it after work and on week ends. It continues to be a work in progress but I am able to live in it. In...

I built this trailer to be light. It basically was designed to replace sleeping in shelter halves. The idea was to have something dry, off the ground and bug proof. The walls were 1/4” plywood framed with 1 X 2. The windows were vinyl basement windows. These gave us good ventilation and screens...

What paint did you use?

Yes, get the cab card and don’t forget to not smile while driving on a Michigan road. Governor Witless has outlawed smiling on Michigan roads... ;)

TobyS, This is where I get confused (it doesn't take much). Is the reversing in low Transfer Case range problem (blowing up the transfer case) only with the 800 series 5 ton or does it apply to the 900 series 5 ton trucks as well? :unsure: The other question I have is, if the military knew this...

That's quite the rig! So now we need to talk about where you are launching it. Will it be a paved boat ramp or just a taper on the shore line? If it's a paved boat ramp I would stay away from NDT tires. Those ramps can get slippery with alga and weeds. Super singles or radial tires would be...

If you come to Findlay I'll be in spaces 522, 523, 560, 561...

Welcome to the site. You are on the right track. 2.5 and 5 ton trucks are built to pull heavy things. Take a look at Military Vehicle Collectors Club of Michigan, MVCCMI.org. We are located in S.E. Michigan. Come to one of our events or a general membership meeting and you will meet folks that...
