    HMMWV just delivered. Do I try and start after fresh fuel, oil and filters?

    I'm waiting on my cdr replacement parts and selector switch before I try and start. It's crazy how they cut all the water fording parts off. And to top it off when they removed battery's they cut the tie down j bolts instead of unscrewing.

    At least the headlights work.

    I'm going to pull out first. Rather not take the chance. STANADYNE dealer in town will rebuild for 600. I waited 4 months, 2 days will be nothing.

    First thing was brand new batteries. O'Riley's had them in stock. 204 a piece. Dioes yours buzz when you turn it to run? With the engine cover off I hear something buzzing.

    HMMWV just delivered. Do I try and start after fresh fuel, oil and filters?

    Why would my oil have a green color to it? Like florescent green. It still is oily. Could coolant get in engine from just sitting for 18 years? In gas motors coolant in engine is from blown head gasket.

    Other than draining the diesel and changing all filters and oils, what else can be damaged from trying to start? What would be the buzzing sound when I turn it to run? It doesn't have a electronic fuel pump? Its mechanical, right?

    If I try and turn it over with that hose removed I should have fuel come out if the injection pump is getting fuel? I've seen before where people think its the injection pump but turns out it a check valve after the gas tank. Thought I'd try before I tear this apart to remove injection pump.

    2003 AM General M1123 with 71 miles on it. Still has chalk marks on frame and it is spotless. It was marked on windshield NR-injection pump. On the injection pump this hose was disconnected. Is this the fuel line from the fuel pump? Also when I turn on ignition, it makes a buzzing sound...

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    It better not take a few weeks! I actually got his info from off the web and called the store directly. Gentleman at store gave me his number. I saved a few hundred by not going through eBay. I'm about 4 hours away and if he doesn't ship by next week, road trip! Your truck looks awesome with...

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    Ugh no. I'm wondering why he was a jamoke. Lol. He says he bought 50 in Vegas 3 years ago. Down to last 2. Guy made some money! Is it water tight? Did you go from 2 man to 4?

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    You lucked out! I needed the whole kit anyways, as I'm converting my 2 man to 4. The cpillar kit alone is 900 with all the bolts and everything. The aftermarket tops are 1200. I don't know if I'll use the doors as they don't have zippers.

    Thank you! If I may ask how much did you pay for your kit. I got mine for 2700.

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    I just purchased one from a guy in Illinois. Could not find one 4 man camo kit anywhere. Does anyone have pics of one installed? I've googled everywhere.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    I was going to pick up in person, but for $1900, it was about 900 more than my gas and hotel costs. Next one I buy is going to be Georgia for sure, they seem a little more beat up than Yermo though!

    I'm dealing with Nick from United States of Freight. Great communication and matching the lowest price on Veritread I received.

    I'm working with Nick right now. Seems like he'll be able to match the low bidder on Veritread. Did you have trucks shipped with United States of Freight before?
