Congratulations on finding the problem. I think all of us at one point in time have gotten frustrated trying to start a vehicle, only to find out it was not in neutral or park. Good on you for keeping us updated even if it was a little embarrassing. In the end we are happy for you! Bulldogger

As someone who works in the energy field, my first reaction is that your house and garage need SERIOUS energy efficiency attention. I live an hour from you and my gas bill was $100 last month for a decent size 4 Br house. Admittedly, I do not heat my garage with gas. While adding insulation...

Saw this 2 man at a winery in the mountains of Santa Cruz today. Closest I can get to doing anything w a HMMWV since I’m across the country from mine. Bulldogger

That's a pretty nifty idea to add storage and other capabilities on what otherwise is a real nose-wart of a cover. I'm going to steal that idea. BDGR

I think I hit 67MPH once, but I drive 60-62 on highway. Right lane and left hand ready to flip on flashers. She ain't a speed queen fer sher. But as many Jeepers say, "Sure yours can go faster, but mine can go ANYWHERE" BDGR

Another useful tip is to tell the auto parts desk you've got a xx year (your year) Chevy Suburban with a 6.2/6.5 diesel. Most internal parts and filters are identical. Do bear in mind that it's a 24V systems in the HMMWV so glow plugs and other electrical are not the same, but you can ask...

Mrap?

Took the boys to the playground and then used the last of the sunlight and warm weather to test fit my Mk1 soft slant back that is shipping out to Jeffy777 this week. Happy with the fit. Bulldogger

Get under there and yank on them and try to push the unions apart with your hands or small prybar. The nut and taper will not likely move, but if the taper shaft comes out of the socket to any noticeable degree you have a worn arm which needs replaced. I can't find if you mentioned the year...

Tightened hose clamps. Lower radiator hose was drippy.

Grab the TMs if you haven't, and do the LUBE Order, regardless of what the previous owner told you. If you don't know what that leak is, one is tempted to conclude you haven't gotten intimate with the details of the HMMWV's peculiar drive train. It's peculiar, but straightforward, anyone can...

I had good luck with convertible top window cleaner and I stitched both the zippers in my front soft doors back in, having gotten them cheap in that condition. A speedy stitcher is a nice to have, but not essential. The thread used in the originals is not so heavy as the wax twine used in...

Exactly. I was going to type that too. Check your tire pressure. Unless you’ve got other problems, I can’t think of a reason why it would be bouncy at 35mph. You can fill to 30psi or so if you’re not off-road a lot. The manual is 22-20, but that’s off road. Have you opened up your geared...

I have his # will send a text and report back Bulldogger Turns out I don't have it. Thought I did. Sent a PM for what it's worth. Bdgr

Glad to help! Mine is holding up fine. I have no worries about it. Even if I have to destroy it to get it out, for some reason, I can go three blocks to Advance Auto and get a new one 12 hours a day. BDGR

I tooled around in my m998 for a couple errands. She fired right up in 25F after ten seconds time for the glow plugs. (Two seconds longer than normal.). Drove fine and brought me home safe. Chilled though. I think I need to flush the heater core. Bulldogger

As you can see from the painful replies, it is always something coming up on these rides, but they make up for it in other ways. Welcome to the club. BDGR

Yup, pretty common. When this happened to me the advice was to just find an NOS surplus halfshaft, rather than mess with pulling the old one and dismantling it to put on a boot. It is MUUUUUUUUCH faster to replace the whole thing, and when I needed mine they could be had for a reasonable...

I also did the coat hanger repair and it's still holding over a year later. I'd have to look hard to remember which one it is by now. You could try this, using one of the other ones from the back seat or somewhere as a pattern and see how it goes. BDGR

The 1-2 minute cycling is normal startup procedure. If it happens when the engine is hot, or lasts longer than 2m, only then is there an issue. Most refer to this as Afterglow Bulldogger
