    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    If you drive your vehicle to another state you should be OK, moving to another state and keeping your FL registration might be a problem. Now a commercial vehicle is a completely different animal, many companies operate vehicles registered in different states, but that is way above my pay grade...

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    Welcome to the forum!!! I hope you get the info you need here, one word of caution is we do not discus or suggest anything that would be considered illegal. One comment I have is all the states have reciprocal agreements that I know of as long as a privately owned vehicle is legal in the...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    If your compression was so bad that ether would not kick it (again don't do that again) it should be obvious while cranking, you had it running so you should know what it sounded like while cranking before the "incident", does it sound different now? It should sound even, not significantly...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    I asked if there was any water in the oil, also is the oil level high. You are a little vague about the readings when you noticed trouble, if the "white smoke" you saw was the beginning of the cooling system failure you should be OK, if the white smoke was sometime down the road from the event...

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    All that is needed is to check the factory grounds, everything on a HMMWV has a return ground wire, the "kit" is not needed, If you had done this to begin with you would have found the issue that the kit did not fix anyway.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Oh I forgot, on the way up hwy 181, I passed a dodge/Cummins on the side of the road with a set of jumper cables hanging on the rear view mirror. So I stopped and helped the couple out, the jumper cables were the cheapest set of cables I have ever seen, I would be surprised if they were 4ga, one...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Don't misunderstand, we love grits in S. TX, I will admit that we sweeten them up with butter and some sugar though.:love:

    Mechanical AND electric lift pump installed by previous owner

    It looks like a better pump than the cheapo ones, but not having any data on it I would have to put a pressure gauge in line with it. Might be better at this point to remove it and install a new mechanical pump. BTW the trans would be a better ground that the frame, the M998 I stripped down had...

    Is this a KDS Smart start system protective box?

    That green label KDS is not a smart start, just a plain ol EESS See the sticky at the top of the HMMWV forum.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Made a run out to Port A this morning, not too much going on out there, I was pleasantly surprised to see Diesel at under $3, it was actually cheaper than gas which I have not seen in several decades. There was one thing, a Jeep cut me off going into the access road from the beach, of course...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    It looks like you have pretty much checked all the boxes but for possibly the glowplugs, it should be warm enough now that you would at least get smoke and should try to start or start with lots of smoke. Please do not feed that engine any more ether, they do not like that one bit!! There...

    Mechanical AND electric lift pump installed by previous owner

    https://pureflowairdog.com/i-30497655-universal-raptor-100-gph-preset-to-8psi-pump-only.html So if you purchase the pump under the MAP price of $332 you have no warranty. The kicker is you can purchase it direct for $317 which is under the MAP price, I have sent them a message and ask them to...

    Mechanical AND electric lift pump installed by previous owner

    That depends on what type of electrical pump is installed. The engine will run on very little pressure but you need or want about 10-14psi, the reason is you want to bypass as much fuel as you can to keep the IP cool. Anything over 15psi starts to affect IP timing. I use a low pressure Raptor...
