    WA state cancelling MV titles

    VT will not issue a title because the vehicle is more than 15 years old. They will issue a title for vehicles more than 15 years old but ONLY if you're a VT resident in VT. So right now I have the Montana title that has the Style code of OH (off highway) and eventually VT plates. Here in WA...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    What I'm currently wondering is if I should go ahead and get the WA off-highway title even though I'll be running VT plates. The advantage is the State cannot accuse me of registering in VT to avoid the WA sales tax, since I'll have to pay them that for the off-highway title. Thats the part...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    I went to a licensing office in Bremerton and everything was going smoothly until they got to the six digit VIN, then the computer choked. The clerk called the State, and the person there told the clerk WA does not issue on-road titles or registration for the HMMWVs. So I'm currently waiting...

    Glow Plug Removal

    My 1165 has the turbo, so the right side is a major pain in the butt. The driver side was easy from underneath, I did all four in no time.

    My M1009 has died new curve ball thrown Updated

    This is how I prime the fuel system - vacuum pump connected to the extra filter boss pulls fuel through the pump and fills the filter. Truck starts immediately, stutters a bit as the post-filter lines get filled, then runs like a top.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Called Hagerty because they said they had some questions, one of which was my estimation of replacement cost. Once we sorted that out he put it through and I am insured. Still waiting for Vermont plates.

    GP - continuously re-listed items

    There's your answer. Call customer service and tell them all this- ask why you didn't win. They might be surprised at what you found and offer it to you, if for no other reason than to shut you up. When I bid on my first M1101 (govliq) I quit bidding when the price went north of $1K, and...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I had to drive out to the freight terminal to pick up a pallet of tires for the HMMWV. Trailer pulled nice empty or loaded, even at 70MPH.

    M1028 aftermarket radio install.

    What specifically did you connect to? I'm not familiar with "the ignition feed" or what is a constant 12v source. The only 12v ignition switch controlled circuit I recall is the wipers. Use that to trigger a relay and run power straight from the battery to the radio thru the relay.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I started working yesterday on sealing the rear to keep water from rolling forward out of the bed into the cabin. Everything came to a screeching halt because I don't have a compass. :mad: Today I ran out and picked up a compass. Home Depot sells a broken-in-half hardie-plank for 50% off. I...

    Talk to me about horns

    I have one speaker in the grille, and one over the lightbar (as seen in the photo) and that high mounted one seems to make it louder.

    Montana Title

    Style on mine is OH, and Montana told me it meant off highway. I don't know what UT means, but I would guess utility vehicle.

    Montana Title

    Make sure you tell them, because the Montana DMV told me it meant off-highway. ;)

    Montana Title

    I've applied for Vermont's Air Medal veterans license plate. Paperwork was mailed yesterday, so 4 - 6 weeks I should get the plates in the mail. If WA grieves me for having an out of state plate, I'll transfer it to a trust and be done with it. Sadly, VT will not title it as it's more than...

    Montana Title

    In the upper right of the title, what is the Style code? Mine was OH, which is Off Highway, so that might be a problem. The thing that killed my effort was the six digit VIN. The computer choked on it, so the clerk called the State, and the person there said no on-road title in Washington...

    Talk to me about horns

    My M1109 uses a Whelen siren controller with the switch lockwired to enable the electronic air-horn only. So two 100 watt outputs to two speakers. Plenty loud enough, and gives the option of an equally loud PA in case you got something to say.... loudly.

    New Goodyear Wrangler MTs appear to be available again

    If you don't plan to air down much, or at all, can you go sans runflats, inserts, and beadlocks?

    Hurricane Advice: HMMWV will not move!

    If you can feel the transmission shifting through the gears, then you have power to at least the transmission output shaft. Start there. Maybe disconnect the driveshafts from the transfer case and see if the output shafts are rotating with the motor running and the transmission in gear.
