    Is this vehicle dependable? I need advise

    It’s only dependable after massive amounts of predictive maintenance and upgrades. If you don’t need the all terrain capabilities, these are a horrible choice for a work truck.

    It followed me home. Honest...

    Looking good, looks like a M211-CDN?

    Bricked ?

    You have a 24 volt jump pack? If you used a 12 volt jump pack that will not do much. Can you ask (PM) moderators (Guyfang) to move this thread to the FMTV forum so the usual experts will see it.

    Rewiring/wiring questions advice

    Any crunchy wiring needs to be replaced les you have a fire. Suggest you cost out the OEM harnesses vs making an entirely new 12 volt harness either yourself or by a pro.

    Bricked ?

    What voltage did you apply to which solenoid, the 12 or 24 volt one? Is the battery connection correct? GP and the Army for that matter likely could have gotten it wrong.

    Bricked ?

    You might have damaged something. But guess what you came to the right place for diagnostic support on these. Need to know if you have your batteries connected properly to begin with. You are aware the truck has a combo 12 & 24 volt system right?

    Headlight Issue

    I would verify the wire tag numbers are correct, meaning the ground wire is actually the ground wire. If everything is correct then your bulb is defective.

    Transfer case slipping out of gear?

    Typically what causes this is loss of parallelism between gears, then a sideways thrust is applied to the gear which overcomes the detent ball in the shift rail. The issue is caused by one of the gears carrier shaft bearings failing. Well you know why.

    Need some opinion on value

    Hmm, if you don’t want to take on this project, maybe the answer is to sell it to someone who does want to take it on. Looks like a very easy project compared to others I have seen and started with.

    Engine block might still be ok. Pull it and tear it down looking closely for cracks. I rebuilt a GMC 302 that threw a rod, block skirt has a booboo where the rod end whacked it but otherwise it runs great.

    FMTV drive shaft yoke puller

    Subscribed. I tried a huge two jaw puller with heating the yoke and it just laughed at me. Meritor used some kind of super sealant.

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    Steve you are talking about the injection pump right? I see no way the fuel pump could cause this.

    NAPA or Vintage Power Wagons are my go to’s. No holes? Yuck.

    M915 series, pictures of your toys

    My trusty M915 slick. Bone stock except for 11R22.5s. Came from an equipment concentration site (ECS), they painted it white for some reason.
