    HMMWV Titling in New York

    I think the issue is trying to title off road use only vehicles for use on the street. I don't think it applies to buying a vehicle with a valid title and getting it put in your name in your state.

    Humvee Transmission Problems

    I have had a lot cars with th400 and th350 GM transmissions. It sounds like a problem in the valve body or an internal linkage. If you can put it in 4lo and it still goes forward when you put it in reverse I would guess its in the transmission and not the engine or transfer case. I would...

    PCB removal

    I was in central FL this summer and it certainly was very hot and humid. I hope to be bringing home a m998 here in central TX in a couple of weeks. Supposedly it starts and runs but overheats after 20 min or so. I am guessing it is probably a temp sensor or something... I have several older...

    PCB removal

    I see you are from Cincinnati I noticed the glow plug issue was in Texas. Your hottest day of the year would be like a cold front blowing through Texas.

    Fan engaging at high RPMs with buzzing sound

    Sounds like you are on the right track. I like the $45 ebay suggestion best. If you wanted to check the auto parts stores your best bet would to take the old one in along with the temp range or the temp it turns on at and whether it is normally (when room temp) open or closed. ***You need to...

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    The slave plug is for jump starting. It works well if it is wired properly and you have a military jumper cable. There are many different ways to wire it but here is the quickest, easiest and best way I have found...

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    Glow plugs are on the 8xx series I have 818 tractor and 820 van. The 9xx series is still wired the same way less the glow plug wire. Don't know about a blower wire, I thought they used a resistor off the 24v supply to get low speed?

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    A 3rd hot wire would go to the glow plugs. It hooks to the + on the battery that goes to the vehicle's ground or frame.

    conversion of 4 batteries to 2?

    I use 2 group "31s" batteries in my 5 ton. I live in central TX so I don't worry about starting in cold weather. The "s" in the battery size makes it come with studs instead of posts. I threw out all the battery terminals and saved the nuts. I bolted the wire directly to the battery studs with...

    m35a2 whistle noise

    A dirty air filter can cause the lack of power and create a vacuum in the intake that can cause noise as air goes in through joints in the intake system. If the air filter is dusty and gets wet after it dries it will look clean even though it is clogged.

    Fan engaging at high RPMs with buzzing sound

    Probably was doing same thing before the belts broke but didn't make as much noise due to slipping belts. I would start by making sure the fan circuit is connected to the thermostat switch and not a sensor like oil pressure. Also a bad ground can do strange things like turning stuff on or off...

    Code Enforcement Threat

    "we don't know what the charges are but we are sure you are doing something..." is what they said, I am sure they meant to say something more official. There is no oversight they don't answer to anyone, one judge has a sign in his courtroom that says "you are here because you have comited a...

    Code Enforcement Threat

    We went court, they said the charges were vehicle storage on residential property. We went back to court for a hearing. My attorney said the law didn't apply because they were my vehicles at my house and the vehicles were all registered. Then they said "ok my mistake the charges are not vehicle...
