    Some of us have been bidding on non-running trucks. That becomes a crapshoot regarding getting it home driving it. If you buy a runner, you pay a premium, however you might be able to make it home. Test, check your fluids especially in the hubs, and make sure your filters are good before trying...

    M1114-1 runs. Tranny works. Pulls like an Ox. I need to reseal the pan from demilitarization. Tomorrow I start M1114-2

    Trying to find DOT5 in Commiefornia is like trying to find common sense in a Gavin Newsom statement. O’Reileys had two small containers at $15 apiece. They also had ethylene glycol.

    M1114-1 starts but is missing on one cylinder. Only ran for a maybe 1 minute though, as I need to add tranny and radiator and power steering fluid. Might be air. Might be bad injector. I’ll figure it out. Probably will start by opening and closing each injection fitting to see that they all get...

    Rev B Spindle Nut?

    Perhaps search the TM’s. They are free. Then read old posts. Better not to boast that you know nothing when most of what you need to know is provided free. Read and search. Then when you ask a question it will be from a more informed standpoint. We all ask questions. It’s just that usually we...

    Started work on the new girls… M1151 turns over 😁. EESS seems to work. Dash is intact. Seats are brand spanking new. Looks to be a keeper. M1141-1 EESS does not power on glowplugs. It will be upgraded to my “Genius Box”. It turns over 😁. Missing roof but I have some cool plans. M1114-2 has no...

    I love the USA. I have a friend who says TSA is not efficient. Bullish!t! I brought a few PCB to California to convert into “Genius Boxes”. I was smart enough to also place a letter into the suitcase explaining these are glow plug controllers for HMMWV restoration with associated parts and...

    Hard vs soft......doors

    Hard doors rattle shake and shimmy. Boat detail shoppes have stuff that can clear the windows. Or they can sew in new windows. Or you can sew in new windows.

    Use a 4BT if you want less weight

    Duramax vs Cummins HMMWV Conversions

    Two things. This is a dead thread from 2018. Holy ICE Batman. Detroit Diesel internal combustion engine swaps are hard. This thread needs to be moved to mods and conversions.

    200 amp generator / regulator that works periodically...

    Check the ground wire for the voltmeter. Small possibility the regulator is fine and the meter or it’s connection is farked. Also clean and retighten the connections to the regulator to ensure clean contacts.

    200A shipping damage, how bad is it?

    Take lots of pictures to document, then send back for full refund. Packaging needs to be robust.
