    HMMWV w/e?

    Again not sure, but I believe this does not refer to upgrade equipment, rather the "BII" (basic issue items) such as tools, fire extinguisher, snatch block (winch equipped) etc.

    Willys flat top four dead miss on #1

    Nope. Could swap any, but you already did, so that rules out the plug itself.

    Willys flat top four dead miss on #1

    It can happen that a plug will fire outside the hole but not with compression. Make sure you are using copper wire spark plug wires, swap the plugs between 1 and 4 and see if that fixes it. 1&2 share the same intake port, so fuel issues sound unlikely.

    What year FMTV to purchase? A0/A1/A1R?

    Reliable as a Toyota? Try buying a POS 23 year old Toyota pickup that has spent it's life off road and see how reliable that is. What are you people expecting from 23 year old trucks? They all need plenty of parts replaced in order to be reliable, even if they are low miles.

    Blown 6.2 any suggestions

    I'd pull the transmission and take it to a good shop for a bench job. Not looking at a lot of money. Take out transmissions are too big of an unknown.

    What year FMTV to purchase? A0/A1/A1R?

    Look over the GP past auction results (search M1078, M1083, M1083A1, etc) for what is out there and what is cost at auction. Try to get a '98 or newer with the WTEC 3 transmission. If you want a winch, buy a truck with one on it already.

    m38a1 L head problem.

    How much have you driven it since the head gasket? Put 10 miles on it and retorque. Does the radiator level decrease? Bubbles in there? Any chance you spilled coolant into the header pipe when you took the head off? Did you have the white smoke before changing the head gasket?

    Kansas to Toronto- M934, hauling butt and crossing boarders

    I'm sure you have been told but I will reiterate: Don't leave Kansas with any tires that have cracks. They WILL blow out, especially with the weight and hot temps we have now. Check all of them 360 degrees inboard and out. I'll watch your thread for problems and can provide via-internet...

    Blown 6.2 any suggestions

    It would be funny if you put a 454 in there and it was the pump on the 400.

    M988 lights won't work

    Assuming you are asking about a M998. Turn the light switch off for 10 minutes, then turn back on. If the light come on for a moment and then go off again, there could be a short circuit in the lighting somewhere that is causing the light switch's internal circuit breaker to trip. If all...

    My First M-37 ( A Barn Find )

    Extraordinary! The thing behind the grill is the selenium rectifier for the 1st generation 100 amp charging system. It means your truck was a HF radio truck or carried a rat shack.

    M923a1 air brake problem

    Torn diaphragm in the spring brake chamber. If you are in a bind, cage that chamber and cap off the line going to the chamber. This is a DOT no-no.
