    Most states just use the serial number, there are millions of vehicles that do not have a 17 digit VIN, some states issue a 17 digit vin from what I hear, not in Tx though. I hope all works out for you, you said you heard AL was tough to get a title so I am really surprised you did not inquire...

    What did they tell you? I am sure you asked them what kind of title they were going to get issued to you... I seriously doubt you can get another SF97 as they have submitted it to the state of Florida.

    IIRC what is listed is the status of the SF97, the auctions say nothing about a title, also IIRC FL issues off road titles for the HMMWV now, I don't think the status of the SF97 makes any difference. ***Buyer will need to complete and submit a Hold Harmless Agreement before scheduling pickup...

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    I bought some rims from Trailworthy Fab, they sent them with new nuts that looked just like these, I could feel the nuts start to yield before they reached the specified torque. Re-using the original nuts will be fine as long as they are not damaged, if you want to be anal about it then you...

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    I would re-use the old nuts before using an ungraded nut.

    I am just curious why did you not just buy the SF97?

    You are probably pretty close with 2007, that year started with 256K according to the serial number sticky on this forum.

    What TSU?

    By now you should have drained and replaced ALL the fluids and filters especially the fuel filter and fuel. Also remove the check valves in front of the fuel tank... This is by far the cheapest insurance you can buy.... Order a new fuel tank drain plug and git rid of the fuel that came with...

    What TSU?

    Then you need to not worry about the glow plugs at this time, there are other things that can cause it to hard start when warmed up, as long as it works normally when cold go ahead and move on the other things until you can run it long enough to get it fully warmed up. Are you still running the...

    What TSU?

    I would think after a full 10 min. the combustion chambers would be warm enough not to need the glow plugs. How does it start when fully warmed up?

    What TSU?

    There is a sticky on this forum that matches the TSU to the EESS box (EDIT it looks like the sticky is missing info about the newer smart start boxes) Are you waiting at least 90 seconds from when you put the run switch in stop and then try to re-start it (if you don't do this every time you can...

    how did the papers look like you stored in this folder

    Maybe, but here would not be correct as these do not pertain to the HMMWV only, maybe in the TM section??? Maybe a forms section could be added to the TM area?

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    What I do is I have a set of "normal" flanged nuts, I use them to put the rim together and torque the to 80-90%, then after checking for leaks I air the tire down, remove every other nut and replace with distorted thread nuts torque them down, then replace the other half of them and torque them...

    new purchase, 1st time owner, tons of questions

    No need to plan on changing the glow plugs unless they need to be replaced after troubleshooting them. I would strongly recommend against this being a 1st vehicle, they have poor visibility, no anti lock brakes, much wider than a normal vehicle and survivability in a wreck is actually very poor...

    Temp gauge sending unit questions

    You can take an ohm meter and confirm you have continuity between the sending unit body and the engine block. Personally I only use Teflon tape on domestic water pipe, everything else gets thread sealer.

    1994 M1123 won’t start. Please help!

    They are in front of the fuel tank inline with the fuel feed and return hoses, if you are getting flow out of the injection pump into a jar etc, until the moment it dies that is not likely the issue, You need to run the engine with the return line in a jar etc. and monitor it until it dies to...
