"salt and pepper" made me think of the old pixelated "Dual-Tex" camo...
But the only pics I find of a pixelated HMMWV are from video games like TOBASH's pic
I bet a HMMWV would look pretty awesome done in the "Dual Tex" with location appropriate MERDC colors
Getting the Transfer case resealed after the RTV gave out on the top of the case.
Leak tested the cooling loop. I should probably paint a little silver cross on it before reinstalling to ward off the vampires.
Are they all the same part number (-1) or are there any (-2)s in the pile?
They should also have an "L" or an "R" stamped on one end.
I could use an "R" (-2) for mine.
There is always a great chance that both lights are toast. So test for voltage there first.
That being said, my headlight malfunction experience with the military headlight switch consisted of no headlights unless the "headlight on" lever was held hard over to the stop. If you let go of the...
The growlers are not M151 based at all.
And M151s are notorious for not being able to be registered for on road use. They had dangerous handling issues and most were cut up so as to be unusable .

Im sure I saw this concept somewhere...boat trailer jack maybe...
My quick search came up with a 189th Airlift wing of the AR Air National Guard. Their website had a pic of a guy doing PMCS on one of "their" HMMWVs. So maybe Air NG.
Mine was CA Army NG. The services seem to be purging all the 7700GVW stuff
Yes. I forgot about it learning shift points. Ill have to run it a little longer. The cab lock I was talking about is the one with the red pin that locks the cab down. Everything needs to be lubed next.
Got it moving and took it for a short drive. Got it to shift as high as 6th gear. The initial shift from 2 to 3 takes too long, but the rest seem to shift normal. Headlight switch is bad but lights work otherwise. Air/hydraulic system raises the cab, cab lock works, air bags work. About all...
I pulled the two ground terminals off to let it sit till I go back. I plan on going through the battery harness and cleaning all the stacked terminals. They are just setting in there for diagnostic purposes till we confirm mobility with a few laps around the compound. After that we will get the...
