I think it means the truck is using excessive fuel…

Thanks Tracer. I've had it for 20 years. It brought me in to this fine hobby. Because of this truck I have made the best friends a guy could have. I got in for the truck, I stayed for the people I meet. Everyone here is on that list...

I’ll try my 1953 M37 w/w…

I I got these pictures from their web site. It shows the recreation trucks and the real ones

While on the 2021 MVPA convoy, we stopped at the John E Kuenzl museum. They have recreated Brutus and Lil Brutus. Both are Viet Nam Gun trucks. We had the privilege of talking to a veteran that served on Brutus. If you want stand next to a gun truck and perhaps have an opportunity to learn from...

Ckouba, Just to give you a point of reference. It took me a little over two years to build out my M934. I had some help with a lot of it. I did the finish work and mechanicals by myself. I didn't have to build the box. Based on what I started with and what you are doing from the ground up, I'd...

Great news! I love hear stories of a truck put out to waste being saved. This one showed you it’s appreciation by running. I look forward to seeing your progress with this project. Thanks for saving this vehicle.

Welcome to the site! Please post some pictures…

Thank you Hawker!

We’re all proud of him! Job well done!!!

You're welcome. You can send the difference to me... :cool:

Take a look at post 2 above. I think Hagerty will insure in all states. Give them a call and see…

I insure all of my vehicles with Hagerty. I had a chance to meet these folks this summer when the MVPA convoy visited their "garage". They fed us and let us hang out and enjoy their extensive collection. The folks I met there are just plane nice people. Their rates are fair. There are others...

Welcome to the site! You will find this place to be a vast source of knowledge… Or sometimes opinion. 😃 I don’t know what it’s like in Kansas but in Michigan and some other states, it’s almost impossible to title an HMMWV. This is due to the level of ignorance in our state government. You may...

These fellers like big trucks! Kinda sick isn’t it? 😜

You have a lot to work with there Shooter. You and your boys are going to have a lot of good times working on and driving that 38. Welcome to the site… Please keep us posted on you journey.

Where you live that top may not be a big deal. Up here in Michigan it could turn a summer jeep into a four season jeep. All kidding aside, I’m glad you caught this and now know it’s value. It imposable to know how many of these tops went to the scrap pile.

This is good to know. A .8 amp load will definitely drain your batteries. The good news is, if you can measure it, you can find it. Now it’s just a process of elimination. It has been suggested that the voltage regulator has a stuck contact. If you have the stock regulator, you can simply unplug...

Are you able to read current flow with the clamp amp meter? I don’t know if a clamp amp meter can measure DC current… It might, I just have never tried it…

If you get arc when you connect the battery, we should be able to find the reason. I use process of elimination. Try to put a amp meter or 24 volt light bulb in series with the battery lead. You will see the current flow on the meter or the bulb will light up ( maybe dim if the draw is low) ...
