It’s been a wild week in Mississippi. We had a winter wonderland for a few days. Everything was white and fun. We drug the kid around behind the side by side and had some fun sliding down hills. No snow, just ice for the most part.
It all took a turn for the worst Wednesday. It was below...
Gentlemen,
I have an 802 that the fuel level float that has gotten corroded and is inop. I had to unplug it at the tank to get through some bad weather so that it would not throw a fault light. I tried manually manipulating it in the tank and it will hardly move with as much force as I am...
I need a hand. Can someone confirm the inside (interior)front to back and side to side measurements of an S-250 for me. I just need the widest points not the lower area that’s inset for the fenders.
I have a couple of conflicting drawings and I want to know what the actual width is.
Thanks...
And so it begins.
Meet Max. My 3 year old cane up with that a little while ago.
He is a 1994 model. It’s still early in the game but I have a feeling there are quite a few issues that will need to be dealt with.
My short term plan is to get all of the systems checked and all of the PM’s...
After spending last weekend camping out of my hmmwv I came to the conclusion that I need some better interior storage. I have all my recovery equipment in one of the rear under seat storage compartments and the other had my first aid kit and other small stuff I use often. Most of the time I...
Anyone going the DFW area and headed back ease anytime soon? I need a M1102 cover and bows brought back to MS or LA.
Any help would be appreciated

I got a call today with what I think is a reasonable deal on a 701a. I have never even seen one of them in person so I don’t know much about them.
Anyone have any experience with them? Any opinions on longevity and what it would be worth.
Thanks for the help

It’s cooling off here in the Deep South. I drug the 802 out for a good 4 hours of exercise. It did great. The 003 is on tomorrow’s agenda.
Dont forget to test and prep for bad weather. Don’t neglect your batteries as well.

I got a message from a buddy trying to offload an 802 today to pay off some debit. It’s an 07 with 4xx hours on it. I don’t know much about them but I know this one has been well taken care of.
I haven’t ever really looked into prices on these things. I have a 003 that usually does all I need...
I bumped into a problem yesterday that I hope you guy can help with.I went out yesterday for its bi-monthly test run and I had an issue. Probably a big one.
I cranked it up as usual. It cranked flawlessly as it always has. No issues so far. I did about a 20 min run to get things warmed up...
I spent the weekend digging through the TM’s trying to find a part number for the transmission dipstick part number on a 4l80. I have come up with zero information.
Anyone got a part number handy?

I have set out to plum in a front and rear 10.5k hydraulic winch setup on a Hmmwv. On its face it doesn’t seem very complicated but it never existed in the wild so there are no TM’s in particular for this setup. The issue becomes how do you use one winch and lock the other out while in use.
I...
Anyone have any experience with plumbing the rear winch setup on a hmmwv. I have the TM’s and for the life of me I don’t under how the controls work. I see that there is some kind of control that attached at the Cadillac valve. I am assuming that this controls which winch is receiving power...
I drug another one home yesterday. This one came from Ft Polk. Eddie the GP rep was great to deal with and a really nice guy. He helped me get it loaded up and off I went home.
I tucked her away with some other green stuff so she would not be lonely.
I got her home and went to toss in a...
I am going down to Polk Thursday 1/11 to pick up a hmmwv. I will have plenty of extra room on the trailer.
I can get it as far as the Alabama line or warehouse on the homestead in central MS until pickup.
I am considering a 4l80 swap and because I have one sitting in the shop ready to go I am thinking about using a Civi unit.
I have the controller picked out and I have that sorted out but now I have transfer case questions.
For the people who have done this swap did you use the transfer case...
Can anyone put a tape on the inside dimensions of the bed on a four man configuration? I need to know what the width is inside of fender to inside of fender as well as from the rear curtain back to the tailgate. Any help would be appreciated!

I know this has been covered quite a few times in a round about way. I know people are running separate 12 volt systems for things like lights and radios.
I also know that people have posed the question about winches in particular. The problem is I haven't found anyone that has actually done...
We live out in the sticks and our power is sketchy on a good day. Hurricane season can make things even more interesting than usual. For the last year or so I have been half way looking for an mep-003 thanks to @Csm Davis. He gave me the run down of how they work one day on his ponderosa of...
