    M1083A1 Electrical Maladies Starting at the Disconnect Switches

    Have you checked the two solenoids tied in next to the master disconnect switch?

    100 amp vs 200 amp generator?

    I say no advantage to the 200A. The “old school” 100A doesn’t go through the start box on mine.

    Passenger Side Random Wires

    Correct, looks to have been the power feed for FBCB2 Blue Force Tracker. The other end of that cable should be in the battery box.

    HEMTT Rim, Breaking loose the bead. No beadlock. Ideas to make this a smoother process.

    Use duck bill tire hammer to break the bead.

    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    Make sure the bulbs say 24 volt on them somewhere. Some bulbs that are older stock have the vacuum inside leak and then the bulb fails immediately like you describe.

    The engine shuddered

    Maybe the lift pump failed. Maybe an electrical connector in the ignition circuit failed. Maybe the fuel pickup in the tank is plugged. Usually I suspect the injection pump but it’s safe to eliminate that at this point.

    Changing the flywheel

    Nightmare? You just pull the T98 and then it's basically a clutch job.

    Headlight rubber mounts

    Should be 8741441. Erik’s has em.

    It runs, then it doesn't.

    You are wise to get your pump overhauled. I like to pull and replace the pump with the lines attached like a big spider.

    Possible registration number?

    Looks like you are very close to already knowing what you will learn from the foia inquiry. Internet searches might get you the unit histories even if the units are disbanded.

    Stuck brake hose fittings

    It's a somewhat destructive method but try gripping the fitting with Vice-grips.

    Possible registration number?

    Registration number will be on the VIN plate in the door jamb. NG******

    So I bought a M1070, now maybe I should learn something about them.

    Ugh. Check with San Antonio Truck & Equipment, they might have a cab.

    Hurricane Advice: HMMWV will not move!

    Sounds like a CV joint is broken. Put it in gear and look for shafts spinning at all 4 corners.

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    Learn something new every day. Will have to remember this for next time as the easiest repair ever. And your mech was about to bend you over.

    Stuck Drag Link & Pitman Arm

    If only you could get the arm off the knuckle, just one whack with a sledge hammer on the end of the threads and it would pop out easy.

    Cut the wheels right or left

    Antenna/Brushguard mounting bolts

    What is spinning in the panel is called a Riv-nut. You will need to carefully drill out the bolt and then the old riv-nut, and then replace the riv nut with a new one. McMaster Carr has riv-nuts.

    Stuck Drag Link & Pitman Arm

    Puller is on the wrong way. Push on the threaded end.

    Time to get a mechanic involved.
