    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    So… ideas on where to start? I’m thinking getting the rig to turn over. What do I need to worry about with the IP? Common no-start issues after J-6 fuel fudges everything up? I’ll check the fluids first and then remove the rear driveshaft. I’m told the tires still hold air so I will blow off...

    Windshield de-icer

    Start by turning things “on” and using a voltmeter to detect current at the three terminated plugs. If no, see if there is current to the box. You may have already done this. Not sure from your posts

    Windshield de-icer

    Just buying parts and throwing parts at your truck without understanding the complete system is dangerous and expensive. You should always know what you’re purchasing. Those boxes work with a special windshield IIRC. IIRC that windshield contains special tungsten filaments between the panes...

    Turn to Alcohol? Diesel engines run better on other stuff like Kerosene. Drinking alcohol is much better and lightens things up. 😂 This will be a learning process. Swear jars will be filled to the brim. No expectations, just gonna start work.

    looking for humvee mechanic on the north east

    Please identify the vehicle, the year of the vehicle, normally aspirated versus turbo charged, and lots of pictures help of the engine with the doghouse cover removed Then, we are better able to assist you. There are some excellent Hummer mechanics who also do Humvees however, their skills...

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    My vehicle transporter (Daniel who does awesome work in California) told me that the bent shock seems to be forklift damage. Same with the bent driveshaft. i’m told that the axle alignment looks appropriate and the axle does not appear damaged I’m told the rig looks relatively new and unused...

    Funvee dead 😕

    One of my trucks went dead when I was driving it. Initially I was exasperated, and then I realized I had been working on the electrics replacing the protective control box with one of my genius boxes. When I checked my connections, turned out that one plug had fallen off because I did not...

    HMMWV Alternator problem

    You can make a semi- woodruff. I suggest it. Make a pattern with a central hole for the main bolt and a smaller hole for a dowel that allows you to drill half pulley and half alternator shaft. This will be really tight and near the threads. Tap in round stick dowel and use nut to tighten AND...
