Sounds like your only option is to trace out the positive battery cables and check for pinching or bare spots. It's possible the problem occured when you were driving and that issue is what caused the battery connection to melt. Also look for issues around the starter motor, such as it having...

Sorry about your loss. Did you insulate the positive terminal very well that leads to the (not present) frame mount battery? It cannot just dangle. I think you are figuring out that the battery connections need to be perfect at all times.

These can be hard to prime. A trick to do this is to pressurize the fuel tank with like 2 psi and crack open the line before the fuel pump.

On behalf of the State of Texas, I apologize for that.

The USMC number is not used for titling. The mfg s/n is what is used. Use search term “serial” in the HMMWV forum for a list of year to S/N ranges.

Which of these two serial numbers is stamped on the data plate?

Thing is, the 6602 can churn out 224 hp all day every day for years. Ask that of a Chevy engine and the results may not be that great.

If you go to a heavy duty truck parts house and ask for “air brake caging bolts” they will fix you right up, they seem to be universal. If you study your auction pics you might see if the brakes are caged or not, if yes you will see a stud with nut protruding from the air brake canisters. A...

You are on the right track. I would bypass the winch, if no change, I would look at the steering gear before the hydoboost.

Battery tie down?

My thoughts are that a valve has gotten stuck. I would pull the valve cover and remove the rocker assy and see if you can work it loose by pressing down on the stem. Maybe you can break it loose by soaking in WD-40 or something like that.

You might never find a leak when you bleed the system. Brake fluid seems to just magically disappear as years go by.

To me the cracks tell the story, if when you blow them up you see cracks, off to recycle they go in my world.

I would be interested in the 6.5 when you pull it. I can assist with the task.

You got it for 5 grand cuz it's a 3 speed and it's kinda ugly. But heck the good running GEP engine is what matters.

Sounds good to me. GP is a pig in a poke, if the truck doesn't run, you could be replacing an engine.

Does your dept need someone to come onsite or are you looking for troubleshooting assistance via this forum? If onsite, what area do you serve?

One of AM General's strongest selling points of the HMMWV platform is the extremely low silhouette.

Welcome. As you know, ball bearings found their way into Jeeps, trucks, tanks, you name it during WWII. I have never heard of some kind of issue with any bearings produced for the war effort. In fact, WWII era bearings are still serving hobbyists and industry all over the world. Good luck...
