    Illinois humvee title problem

    Register it under the Historic MV plate. That was the only way to title one in IL as far as I knew. Some IL members might be able to help out more.

    Surge brakes

    The only law in MA I can find regarding trailer brakes is they are mandatory for trailers over 10,000 pounds. Have a link to your information?

    New Wisconsin show/rally Aug 12th, Central Wisconsin Military Show

    I'll be arriving on Saturday morning nice and early to beat the 8am deadline. I hope it's a good show, but I'm not happy about being stuck from 8am to 6pm. That's a dang long time for a car show. And car shows with hundreds of cars let you come and go as you please, so I'm sure it's not a...

    Mechanics or shops in Northern IL/WI border?

    If you have the money, any large Chevy dealer that has done work on H1's can do it. I took mine to the Lake Geneva Chevy dealer, supplied them with the parts, and they installed them. They also went over the truck for me since the shop manger assigned a mechanic that was familiar with HMMWV's...

    Anyone deal with "Advanced Vehicles Assembly Humvee" before?

    They list two stores. One in Vassar, MI and one in Plainview, NY. Anyone near a store? I'm curious if they sell to general public and what their prices are.

    Humvee road trip reliability

    I drive mine to Green Bay, WI and back - about 300 miles - every couple of months. I keep mine well maintained, follow PCMS, and have some extra fluids and a good toolkit. Never had any problems with mine!

    Bogert jack, storage location??

    Mine is strapped down in the back. I don't think there was ever a designated location for it due to it's size.

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    Thanks for the tips so far. Here is where I am at: I do have all the TM's for the M1009, and have started going through the electrical trouble shooting. Might take a while. It's also been raining, so electrical in the rain is always a bit difficult. I checked both batteries and they are...

    Best one stop shop for bolts/lockwashers/fittings?

    My Ace Hardware always has everything I need. I also have a Home Depot, Fastnel, and Lowes all within a 20 min drive, so I can usually get any fastner I need.

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    Engine cranks, but won't start. I did check a few of the wiring threads and won't start threads but didn't know where to start. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    M1009 no wait light, no GEN 2 light, no volts.

    Truck has been running great up till this morning. Turned key to get power to all the accessories. Wait light did not light. GEN 2 light did not come on. Volt indicator is at zero. GEN 1 light is on. If I turn the key, it tries to start, but I'm assuming the glow plugs are not warming...

    New Wisconsin show/rally Aug 12th, Central Wisconsin Military Show

    As long as I can still drive up my HMMWV to show, I'll be there. I brought it up in 2016 to Iola and had a great time. Now I just need to find a MV club in southern WI that's active.

    VIC-1 Intercom Troubleshooting Assistance

    Just to update for future searchers: My AM-1780 was bad. Borrowed a known working VIC-1 system - 2 cables, 2 headsets, two intercom boxes, 1 master control box. Began replacing parts one at a time - starting with my control box. As soon as that was swapped out, my system worked fine.

    How to pull-start a HMMWV...

    Watch the placement of his arm on the steering wheel. Notice the brake light is on - that means the switch is in the RUN position. He's using his elbow to flip the switch from RUN to START when he pulls the lock cable.

    Constant running fan.

    Mine has done the exact same thing since I bought it. Always figured that was what it was supposed to do.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Went to change front tires this morning. My right side tire was so loose I thought the lug nuts had come off. An amazing amount of slop. The idler arm is one good pothole from completely disconnecting. Another project added to the list.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thought about doing the same, but as soon as you rotate the tires the tread pattern will be out of whack again. ****, AM General promo photos have the tread patterns all over the place. Obviously it didn't matter. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    VIC-1 Intercom Troubleshooting Assistance

    I installed my VIC-1 and am having some trouble. I followed the TM and the system is wired per figure 4-4 (no radio). All four stations are receiving power (they hiss when the power to the system is on). The Commander station can speak into the system and I hear the voice on all 4 stations...
