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.

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?

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...

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...

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.

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!

I made an Imgur album of all the figures in the instruction sheets. http://imgur.com/a/RyrpS

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

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...

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.
