I think if you dig most manufactures have that statement hoping to limit liability

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that possibly the quick connector was leaking and someone thought unplugging it would stop the leak, when it did not they pulled and plugged the hose. If you find the hose just laying there it might be a good idea to order one of the female connectors...

That is where the hose goes. The hose that goes from the other side of the fitting to the fan clutch may be missing, that could be why it was plugged, that hose is a PITA to replace. OR the hose may just be laying in the bottom of the fan shroud not connected.

The Petlas tires weigh 69LB, the only Goodyear weight I could find quickly is the MT/R at 83LB

They are not gas shocks, not sure where the best place to drill would be.

There are so many late date but have been mounted tires available I wonder if many of those had failed inspection after being mounted, not being surplussed because the shelf life ran out.

Sometimes they sound bad as the air works out of the system, as stated above not a lift pump. I would give it another try. Have your phone handy for vids.

Video, please. Maybe you did run out of fuel and now an injector is unhappy. Not likely a lift pump problem.

You do not need ins. or inspection to get just the title changed over, you need that when you want to register it.

Just a heads up, if there is a sale date on that title you only have 30 days to get it transferred or you will pay a penalty Everyone using a SF-97 get to pay the penalty, the state does not care that it takes more than 30 days to get the SF-97

So it is titled as a 2005?

Did you get a SF-97? if so how long did it take, I have been waiting some time for mine, may call tomorrow, not that it will do any good. I got one released in 18 hours after turning in paperwork and payment, but yet no SF-97

OK I see what you are saying, it does not say UNLESS the vehicle is a truck it says IF the vehicle is a truck etc.

I have two in the driveway with truck plates, the state considers the HMMWV a truck, what else could it be? it could be argued a helmet top with windows added to the rear and sides would be a passenger vehicle like a suburban but other than that it is a truck.

Yes, 500K would be a truck that went through RECAP, Probably at Red River, must be a real low 500K as the program was put together in 2004 so 2005 would be an early R1 It does not matter to the state, it will be titled at what ever year it was sold as, what ever your SF-97 says or the title...

I have a NOS switch and it takes a surprising amount of force to cancel the signal, it would take a strong setup to work.

How old is your R1, most are around 2007, a former military vehicle must be 25 years old or older to obtain former military registration in Texas, otherwise it must be treated as a regular vehicle, inspections etc.

You can get former MV plates instead of using the vin/registration number, no inspection required, same cost I think and same rules. I am no lawyer but the wording "in a design and location, which conforms to the vehicle's official military design and markings." That would seem if you listed...

If you are convinced it is bad after testing it, cut the wires and use a deep socket.

That would probably be OK for most, but I use mine as a daily driver, I bought some late date NOS BFGs and after 13K or so they are going out of round. not a problem at 55-60 but at real highway speeds it sucks. I have a suspicion that they just build the military contract tires to the absolute...
