. I can remember as a youngster discovering that Holley carb on the 6602. I thought maybe I had died and gone to heaven. It could have been because it was 40 years ago and the small parts in rebuild kit form were plentiful. At that time, those carburetors were the best there was. At least in...

. Maybe you got a Version 2.0 Convoy Light Kit? Mine just has a simple switch. Big fat juicy military switch that snaps on and snaps off. Not really sure what that relay is all about... As everybody else said, frame ground on everything. I used two-wire to feed the lights. One wire for...

. I walked out back. Hate to admit that I am a bit of a slacker and admit that I didn't take one off. I did measure though. The u-bolt is 3/8" thick. Pretty darn fat for a u-bolt. The holes in the back of your cab will tell you how wide (diameter). If you need length, and it isn't...

. Time spent was more fun than not for sure! I definitely learned that going into another space - and acting with purpose - managed to allow many things to be appropriated. Sadly, ours was more of an adventure than a need.

. Edited because I was on a HMMWV forum and posted a 4 Battery Setup. (Sorry, My mistake) This MV thing - it will chew on your wallet for sure! Seems to me that every last thing that I fix on my truck seems to uncover something else that needs fixing or some sort of special attention. I...

. I think our Chief was maybe a little harder on us than some... He gave us that speech every time we got any liberty. I managed to came out with none. There were other sections with different leadership that HAD to wear their shirts. He always made a point of it.

. Really cucvrus !? I thought all of them road like that. Kinda like they have four square wheels. So, are you telling me that the HMMWV is supposed to ride like an old Chevy pickup truck? :cool:

. Welcome to the outfit! Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the first MV Show that is within driving distance. There will be lots big green trucks and parts. Best part will be the friends you will make and the food you will consume! There will be trail rides and time around the campfire...

. Gotta have fun if we are going to work on these green toys! That sounds like fun to me. As long as you can walk back in the house when the job is done :cool:

. That's sad. I remember being treated like a goof in recruit training. I even remember spending our money to buy neutral shoe polish to wax the floors. After that, off to A-School, B-School and C-School... Guess being a "fly boy" and playing games with the russians just completely ruined...

. There are other choices. I have a LOT of things that need batteries, so I went cheap. I have no shortage of juice to crank motors bigger than your HMMWV. Worth a thought for next time... EDIT: Obviously the HMMWV has two batteries and not four like the M1088 box that is pictured...

. Good for you! With one boot complete - before you get "rusty" on how to do it - Maybe the Right Side needs the same treatment? Glad you figured out the magic of the adjusters. You will remember that for a long time! Speaking of rust, it might be worth a few gallons of white Vinegar in your...

. Absolutely to the driving. Same as most other MV's is my guess. Driving is accomplished with both feet flat on the floor!

. I am not certain, but I think the plan was to get it home, then use it to haul stuff to the new place. Just guessing, but I thought I saw that in an earlier conversation. Otherwise, dang right! Truckers don't haul nuthin for nuthin for sure :cool:

. I thought I had seen numbers higher, but the marketing slicks all claim that 90 % commonality. My guess is that the "fuse box" has the same components. There is a spreadsheet of parts - civilian numbers for local parts houses - and military that will help you a lot. I had hoped that there...

. @wheelspinner might be a good source for the relays and circuit breakers that you need as well...

. Hi Brad, Ground might definitely be your problem. A clean place on one of the starter bolts that holds the starter in, then over to the frame with a nice fat "battery cable size wire" would do it. If you decide to run a new wire to the solenoid, a piece of 14ga (in and out) or a nice piece...

. On the whole, it is a good looking truck! Really great that you have wrench and driving skills. With that and a little help from here hopefully you can be rolling soon. It looks like somebody robbed all the breakers and relays in your truck. If nothing else, at least you won't have to...

. Right there in the thick of it all... Good Deal! I like that truck. Heck of a welding rig...

. There is a transportation forum here. Key is to give the guys the right information to get correct pricing. From where to where and when, then if is a non-runner - say that too. Tires are pumped up and ready to roll? Things like that will help them figure out what kind of trailer they...
