. So... If you are going to remove the hydraulic brakes - does that mean you have no need for brakes at all? These hydraulics could definitely be repaired (assuming they don't work?). If you don't need brakes at all and another assumption - and you mentioned removing the pintle - I am...

. We're coming to kick your A$$! :cool: .

. As @Mogman mentioned - Please crack the books - as much for your safety as anything. Wouldn't hurt for the safety of the folks around you too. Definitely don't use the high idle as a cruise control. Imagine if you NEED to stop and your brain is just a fuzz slow remembering the high idle -...

. Might be worth deleting that last line in your post.

. Story Time with Tim Way back when... Shortly after we used to ride a dinosaur to school and back, I worked in a shop that repaired MV's for a utility contractor. We got the jobs in the woods and swamps that nobody else wanted - and were paid handsomely for that work (back in the day). With...

. Wow!! Dang neat find. I snagged a screen grab of that Figure 14 image.

. I understand they even have a timeout card for recruit training. I know nothing more than that. How many times before you are sent home for good and so on... I personally wouldn't want to be "in a spot" and have somebody like that covering my back.

. Guy, It's really easy to laugh about that stupid stuff now. On the receiving end - and later on the giving end too.

. Absolutely! And maybe you can post pictures - in case you learn something new when you build yours... .

. Neat!! Maybe by chance do you have a part number? That might be something really worthwhile to go into a Parts spreadsheet. .

. Engine Type? LDT 465 most likely. Either made by Continental or White. From the plate on the side of the block

. Just gotta remember that LEDs and these trucks will cause turn signals not work sometimes. Solid State flasher helps but sometimes even that doesn't work. At least for the moment, when you do any initial testing and then any subsequent PD - having the incandescent bulbs installed might...

. REALLY IMPORTANT: The serial number that you have on the liability insurance that you buy needs to match the title paperwork. Padding with zero's though should be discovered by the DMV and not information that you give them. I couldn't find reference here but I am almost sure somebody here...

. Agreed! Kinda like me with a couple of Army trucks and being in the Navy. Funny how that works. Our little gray cruise ships just don't seem to show up at the auctions. :)

. Welcome to the Outfit! Time to Hit The Books and learn about your new-to-you machine. There is one book - a driver's training guide linked below. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-driver-training-tc-21-305-4.170276/ Then the Operator's Manual (also known as the dash ten)...

. The ABN looks similar to my MAC Tools kit from 40 years ago. Except that we were smart enough not to hit our hands with the version from back then. :)

. Exhaust leak is a possibility too. On a cold manifold, freshly started truck - spray bottle of soapy water. If you have an exhaust leak you should see it immediately. Don't be stingy with the Dawn dish soap. Even down below since you mentioned "ticking" and any pipe connection down there -...

. I see it now. Duh! Thanks for sharing!

. Interesting. I thought REO had that "body shape" and that those trucks made like that were only built by REO or Diamond (hence the Diamond Reo naming at one point in time. Yeah, I know there was a war and that anybody who could build something reliably and read a blueprint was...

Some nylon washers would be really good. The nylon would keep the dis-similar metals apart except where the bolt touches the aluminum - and if you were careful - even that could be avoided...
