Well, I tried posting this a couple nights ago but my neighbor’s place has so little cell phone reception even with a MiFi Verizon gadget I couldn’t get enough throughput to post.
Got the HMMWV down to TN Thursday, 759 miles, 12 hours door to gate, my buddy driving half the distance at about 90...
My immediate neighbor (half mile away) keeps talking about buying a pintle mount for it so we can drive around in the hollers and shoot his M1919.
Um… I don’t think so.
I‘m still licensed, “working” for the same clinic here in MD supervising PA’s (the NP’s keep on killing the patients with...
Thanks, RWH.
I’ve worked out something with a friend who runs a JEEP specialty shop and has a 20 ft hauler he’ll loan me for a few days this week. He’s booked out for about six months with appointments, pretty sure he won’t need it this week as he has another smaller trailer.
I’ve just got to...
Yeah, that much I know.
I’ve checked with my insurer (GEICO) and they don’t cover trailers. No, they don’t have a rider, I’m told.
Hagerty, my HMMWV insurer covers the HMMWV while it’s being towed.
Think I can’t figure out is how many (well, 3 or 4) sites advertise as vehicle towing capable...
Thanksgiving weekend 2020, I drove my HMMWV for some local errands, it began making some god-awful noises (like some prankster had tied a 1/2” zip tie around a driveshaft but more metallic), I got it home into the garage, and did my best to figure out what the heck was making the noise.
I poked...
Where does one RENT said rollback flatbed wrecker, or a trailer suitable for towing a HMMWV?
I have spent HOURS on the web and telephone trying to find a RENTAL trailer suitable for hauling my HMMWV. The closest I’ve come is UnitedRentals, but the local office tells me - although it’s on the...
From post #78
The plug in my MEP-802 is dead. That’s what, about two years’ worth?
The other, sitting in a jar of #2 diesel has swollen about twice normal, the fuel is tinted black.
GMG? Um, no.
Will post pics for comparison when I get another set - on order.
Yes, but it had a clear Montana title when I bought it. I’d been lurking around this board and others for about 6 mos before buying so I had a good idea what could happen and the seller - RIP - was well-known.
I got mine about 4-1/2 years ago. Registered historic - I barely put 50 hours a year on it driving. At the time I had the option for full registration, the law hadn’t taken effect yet.
I went through MD Tag and Title in Laurel, had plates in 3 days.
if you callGlen Burnie MVA, keep in...
You know...
if I were still living anywhere close to my sister, I'd be checking the driveshafts for zip-ties.
She's got that kind of sense of humor.
Judging from what I'm reading, I've probably got an exhaust leak - just surprising I'm NOT hearing it while stationary.
I'm off four days next...
YES!
Under load is the key, I thought. But revving up to 2800 rpm "should have" made SOME noise?
I once owned a POS Subaru Outback that burned up injectors, O2 sensors, igniters, plugs with alarming - warranty-covered - regularity.
Years into this routine, I drove through a local tunnel and...
Took truck out for a ride a couple weeks ago, went grocery, apple pie apple shopping, on the way back from the orchard on a dirt road I heard what sounded like a metallic plate clang, like a muffler thing go bang (I do have the transfer case protector mounted, a little loosely, but have never...
Did a search on duckduckgo for: TB 9-2320-280-23 and got exactly nine hits, none of which was for said manual.
Same search in google, first hit was for Army Publication Directorate, but no link in next two pages for actual manual.
Searched for same manual HERE, first two hits were to this...
D'oh! Transcribing error on my part. 29A NOT 20A, sorry about that, and thanks. The ONLY thing I could find in TM-x-20-2 was on page 4-7, "rotary switch" but it didn't specify which letters on the switch to connect leads.
I have a full - and I mean full, about 5,000 pages worth thanks to my...
Holy historical typo batman!
Reanimating dead posts is a hobby or a curse, but I have to ask, IS there a super-secret x-30-3 manual somewhere I'm missing?
I tried looking in x-20-1 through x-20-3, the schematics I've tried having blown up to legible scale with no joy, and at the cost of a...
That’s the major thing I didn’t like about the trailer. And the height. Getting my ATV up the ramps was really tricky. The weight was a problem as was hooking it up to my truck (RAM, not HMMWV), , so I sold it and bought a much larger aluminum trailer with a ramp.
IIRC the EZPZ fix is simply...
