    My preferred method also, I like to loose roll also but do not like burring up the threads because I then have a tendency to drive off a little peeved. Tip for the day, Do not look directly into the Sun.....

    Newbee, HMMWV doesn't start, need advice please!!

    Welcome from Missouri! As for your First Post do not panic, Patience is your Guide. As mentioned by helpful Members it is wise to have some knowledge of a new acquisition before you start flipping switches. Although I would bet that is what some have done also, and its called OTJT.
