Well, as far as I know it's legal for the streets here in Texas. As far as the CDL I'm not entirely sure yet. It's not being used for commercial purposes so on that hand is say no, but it's weight is unreal and it's not exactly "easy" to deal with on side roads. That being said, I currently...

For the price it's posable, just not sure if I want to deal with two or not.

Yeah, figure if I'm going to do it again might as well go big(er).

I was on a slight hiatus for a bit getting a few things settled. Looks like I'm ready to get back into the stress of MV. Sometime this week, or next, I should be taking a small trip to look at picking up a M977 HEMTT.

While at the museum we located a surplus 6.2 engine (in a steel transport can not a crate). I pulled the injection pump, injectors, houses that link the injectors, and all 8 fuel lines. I will probably start replacing parts starting with the injectors, then start it. Then replace the injection...

I'm actually looking at an 85 HMMWV, same driveline and it needs the gaskets replaced (oil leak) but it runs and drives.

I've had a few different plans for it, just never really have the time. someone is stopping by tomorrow to take a look at it. I'm not exactly a diesel guru so I'll watch and learn as he trouble shoots different issues. I'm done messing with it for the day. After adding diesel kleen it refuses to...

Replaced the fuel filter, added diesel kleen to the tank. Sounds like it runs smoother, will rev up a bit now. When I'm on the throttle it'll rev up but then studders, goes back up, then studders again. Up and down, up and down, then eventually dies again. Fires right back up, less shaking at...

THAT is a very good point and was rather curious about that statement myself.

Tomorrow I'm going to try filling my Jerry can and running a line from that to the pump. Possibly pull the injectors and attempt to clean them. And change the fuel filter. The previous owner said something about checking for an electrical issue with the pump, not sure what he was talking about...

has a hose that runs down under the frame? Yes, I opened the valve and let it drain into a clean, dry 2ltr bottle. I let it drain off until the 2ltr bottle was about 1/4 full. Sitting in the driveway in my YouTube video.

I'm trying to upload a video of it running to YouTube and will attempt to post the link here when it's done. I'm not sure if the video will show how much it is shaking at an idle but it did die twice. You may also notice the wif light flashing. I will start by saying yes,I need to fix that as...

My fuel gauge needs to be replaced regardless. At full it's way over the full mark so I'm not exactly sure where empty really is. Given the LOOK of the gauge at full, the full mark would become half, 3/4 would become 1/4 give or take. That isn't exact as I said just by the LOOK and placement of...

I was fairly low in fuel, forgot my wallet, but had a $20 in the glove box.. so the story starts. Running very low in fuel, about 10 miles from home last Sunday (31st) I stopped at a valero on a feeder road near channel view/Baytown for some diesel. I've been there before so didn't think...

Swapped the hazard relay for the signal relay and I had signals but no hazards. Just a fuse/relay/whatever you want to call that round metal POS plug. Next time I'll check there first.

That was the issue, problem solved. Thanks everyone.

I didn't even realize that when starting the thread, thank you. The hazard and signal flasher should be separate units correct? Round metal "fuses". I'll check that also, but wouldn't a bad flasher prevent the light from even coming on in the first place?

That's what I was thinking too. I'll try to switch it out tomorrow at the museum. Thanks
