    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    rarely do the batteries that come with the truck are in shape to left in them, it’s the first item to get replaced in my shop. most have no batteries , the GP folks just use a jump box to start the truck most of the listings state “truck started and ran, would not restart with jump” The stand...

    Need A Humvee Expert

    sorry, but I have to ask, why would you buy a truck that you have concerns about the motor or something wrong in the videos? Unfortunately the person starting the truck in the video is an idiot and doesn’t know how to operate the trucks starting system. The video doesn’t tell you if the trucks...

    New M1165 owner with questions

    have You even taken possession of the truck? The list of things needed to check is quite long, I can’t stress getting a knowledgable person to go over the truck, all fluids changed etc…I receive in new trucks weekly, not a single one is like the last, they have all been used, abused and odd...

    Help with a couple auction pics - name that part...

    The plug is the turn signal unit that goes on the steering column, for some reason all the trucks are missing it and the 3 lever light switch…no idea why.

    Friggin start box light

    A bad TSU is a fast flashing wait light, meaning the box can’t see the TSU.

    Unknown red switch under driver dash

    never seen one in 30yrs….looks like the same circuit breaker switch as used for the transmission CB on all 4L80e equipped trucks. Check the wire numbers to figure of source,

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    serial number is how TM separates the 2, but an older reset truck could have new style Serp setup..

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    yes, it is the turbo manual, but the bracket for the Gen and PS pump in the pic is the early serp…. To be hones, I don’t have any more trucks here that have the early serp setup, but it’s no wonder the TM’s are incorrect. I just know that I have like 3 different rear support bars for 200amps, I...

    I don’t think you ever told us what EESS box you have….AFAIC, unless it’s a KDS or Narton S3, replace it.

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Unless the TM is wrong…this shows the old style serp gets the long bar from Gen to block.

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    remote mounted PS reservoir serp setup uses the one that goes to the engine block. just an FYI, there is more than one of those support bars..IIRC, the bar for a 60amp won’t fit without modifications if reusing on a 220amp-belt truck, that’s why the 200am kit comes with its own support bar in...

    Any professional HMMWV experts/companies near MCLB Albany?

    depends on where home is…but I can honestly tell you after 30yrs of doing this work, driving across country or flat towing is just a bad idea, for several reasons. In the end, it’s cheaper and safer to get a good shipper at a decent rate to drop it in your lap. I ship trucks from Albany and...
