Yes, yes, and yes Post pics. I used to build models long ago in another lifetime....

Is the trailer coverage a seperate policy? How does that work? I know for my regular everyday vehichle, I have trailer coverage under it no matter what trailer it is. I have not researched how it works with my antique Classic present policy. I know my old policy with travelers through...

M105's in the sandbox were sometimes dualed. Easy to do by changing lug nuts to thimbles and outer nuts like deuces and 5 tons. Not acceptable practice stateside but solved a problem over there.. Thread on it here somewhere...

My initial suspect would be suspension issue like ball joints, tie rods, pitman or idler arms etc. Jacking up wheel and shaking looking for excessive play, ripped boots, rust stains from joints Does vehicle have a lean in that direction?

GSA auctions will have some of the forestry and fire dept returns on a regular basis. Most tend to look rough.....

Not that I heard but short of a nuclear explosion, not sure I could hear anything in a hmmwv anyway... ;-)

I would remove it and bring it to an old school radiator shop and have them evaluate. It has to come out anyway and most shops would evaluate and give you an estimate upfront. Based on that opinion would be where my $ go..... All the cooling things on these hmmwv's are way overpriced imho but...

Buy new cdr hoses and change at the same time. Pain to get to. Ask me how I know....

These were prototype test trailers for the jltv. Just a few were released by gp. Really strange they were even released. I suspect they are only electronic tm and probably restricted since so new and current

There is a one piece rim for dodge power wagons but very pricey. I see the tires have been changed to a common civy size. That is what I have done with some of the trailers I have resold. You can also mount a spare on the front to be safe. Axle swap is also an option

Ymmv They seem to be very selective with their garage requirements.....

I would also check temp with a heat gun or known good gauge. These trucks run cool and should not jump that fast. Might be a good idea to flush and fresh coolant if all is good. Mine had a lot of crud and mud. Dont forget to flush heater also.

I suspect the rattle can lip stick will not stick well and will be an issue down the road. Hard to paint over carc with any success.

look at pics of a m832 dolly. There are a few flavors of dolly and different tire sizes. Some use the deuce 900 and others use the 10 bolt budd wheel to tow behind a 5 ton. There is also some smaller dollies that take 15 or 16 inch tires but do not recall nomenclature. Best to eyeball dataplate.

My son works at o'reillys. I have gotten 3 6tl's from him over the years. They have all failed in 2-3 years. Their batteries are not exides and there is a definite difference. I have also brought back old 4-6 year exides that kept going. They do need a long conventional charge and I used a...

I have a load tester from harbor freight. It is a knock off the milton. Works great. I call it my toast warmer:😀

Manual fuel pump on block is suspect

I just used clear silicone on the wiring grommet and pump mounting to tank since I used a non oe pump.

They have to present it to underwriters as historic classic antique not a daily driver or commercial. I think it helped as I already had the hmmwv as a classic. Don't refer to it as a big truck or 18 wheeler or quote the weight as that throws them into a different mind set.
