    Did I Make a Mistake Buying This M1097R1 Humvee? $10.5k, No Title, Need Advice

    Suggest you visit the Missouri DMV website and determine the misery level of the bonded title route. Also ask the DMV if the assigned VIN is in the system. If it is, I would walk.

    Identifying cut wires under dash - M1165A1 REV

    I believe that none of the wires are ground, so yes you can jump the +24 to the other wires to assist with “ringing out” the circuits. Two of the wires go to and from the flasher, and two go to and from the brake light switch, so sort those out first using an ohm meter. The remaining 4 wires...

    S-250 AN/TSM-183 New Project

    Google says you have a “spares facility” for “nodal maintenance”. Circa 1986. This seems to have been a way for radio techs to have spare parts and diagnostic equipment in the field to keep radio networks operating. Not exactly historically significant. In my opinion you can gut it to do...

    Bent Tie Rod

    Sure. You could try a scissor jack right there in place.

    M936a2 oil leak I'd like to fix. The blue gasket is lagging

    That is the fluid swivel. I believe the capscrews holding the dust cover and blue gasket in place are not intended to hold hydraulic pressure, which leads one to believe the unit is leaking out internally. That is not a simple fix. The mfgr listed on the data plate might be a helpful resource...

    M1009 NEW INJECTOR PUMP SMOKING

    I believe the injection pump rebuilder might have set the fuel rate wrong, not a timing issue.

    Truck-Lite Headlights

    Subscribed. These replace the 27450C which I am very happy with but are discontinued.

    Model JHAA/C6V1 - 6000btu AC not cooling.

    If it were me, I would first evacuate the system using a vacuum pump, then charge with 300 psi nitrogen, and see if the system maintains pressure over a few days. If so, drain the nitrogen and evacuate again, and charge with R22. You will need a vacuum pump, a bottle of N2 with regulator...

    WTECIII display shows “X” with mode light illum

    If for sure the TCU is good, suggest you check out the VIM under the power panel for issues such as blown fuse.

    WTECIII display shows “X” with mode light illum

    X usually means “I am dead, send me to Transmissioninstruments.com”.

    M998 Oil Pump Problem

    2.5 miles with no oil pressure would equate to a grenaded engine.

    LMTV/Brazos/Titan XD4400… is it right for me?

    When Stewart and Stevenson / BAE lost the FMTV contract to Oshkosh, it was a very unhappy period in Sealy Texas. Everything the S&S team had worked on for 20 years was gone. Everything they had either went for auction or in the dumpster.

    If you live in flat Florida, all you need is a 4L80E transmission upgrade to get higher speed and keep the 6.2 alive.
