Agreed: check for loose wiring or connections. Do it with power off, and if nothing obvious then can try doing it with power on (non-running), but wear gloves and goggles. These vehicles get lots of loose connections from age, neglect and vibration. I tidied up many on my truck. One...

What did I do to my Trailer today (technically, yesterday)? Took possession! Bulldogger

Recovery complete. Drove an hour from my house with my son in the HMMWV and we met with a friend's son who bought this 2011 A3 two years ago and never got around to converting it to ball hitch and 12V to tow behind his late model Jeep 4dr. Cleaned up the pigtail, plugged her in and the...

Running fuel system treatment with a good injector cleaner made a noticeable difference in my Humvee. But I have a friend with the same engine and his does have quicker pick up. Sometimes it is down to chance. Bulldogger

FOUND IT! My cell phone I mean. Fell out of my pocket when suiting up for my ride home, I guess, and another cycle rider at work saw it and picked it up. Honest men still exist, and they ride Ducati's apparently... Here is the picture I have, not sure it's enough to ID. BDGR

Thanks for the feedback. I'll check with him when I get back in contact. Lost my cell phone, or I'd post a picture he sent me. Life is on hold while I get a replacement! BDGR

I have a line on a flatbed generator trailer in good condition for $500. It has, or had, good tires brakes and wiring. Problem is I need a cargo trailer, like an M101. Is it worth the fuss of trying to make a cargo bed on top of the generator bed, or should I go with my gut and just wait for a...

A better picture would help. Suspect the seals on the hub though, since there is little else in that area. Not that hard to replace and worth opening them up to inspect if you never have. I did before I took my new-to-me M998 anywhere and am glad I did. Bulldogger

15 HMMWVs...either I'm covered in overspray or I'm green with ENVY!! Heck I'd be tickled to have that much CHAIN :-) Bulldogger

Is it displaying signs of overheating or just the temp gauge showing that? Gauges lie. I don't have a 6.2L so can't offer more on the sensors that engine uses, since I'm not sure they're the same. If you haven't replaced the thermostat and flushed and filled the coolant, that's a great thing...

Yuck! Definitely need some further attention. A thread file should touch them up well enough. Perhaps some dielectric grease on them after? BDGR

Glad it wasn't worse and you still have the friend. It's nice of him to pay for the cutout, that he doesn't get to see where it's installed (HINT) :-) Bulldogger

Will probably tool around town in the M998 a bit just because I can, but I have a full day of housework and maintenance planned too. My traditional 4th practice is to ride my antique Harley around town to get a cheeseburger. I haven't gotten the HMMWV completely folded into the routine yet :-)...

Absolutely not! The standard military issue battery is a deep cycle battery. Bulldogger

Just because the positive and negative terminals are solidly bolted on in the battery compartment doesn't mean they are solidly bolted on the OTHER SIDE of the big post. It has its own threaded side and nuts to check. I second putting in a secondary grounding harness. Can get wire at home...

A quick Google check says that they should both be 6.2l's, so shouldn't be too hard. I have seen multiple references that say stepping up from the 6.2L to the 6.5L involves having to get a new wiring harness (several hundred $, apparently). Doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it myself...

I actually had to resize and print mine twice, so third time was the charm, but the price of all three attempts is on the order of $0.50 total. Similar to your situation Wire Fox, the second one almost fit, but I knew I'd never get it back off if I pushed it on hard. Mine has no lanyard, but...

I have had a converter sitting around for a while not happy with my thoughts on where to mount it. I have a first aid kit in this spot at the moment, but it can be relocated. This gives me some ideas. Thanks! BDGR

We have a winner! I like the Vomitron answer though too. And, no Jeffy777, not trying to make you look bad. Bulldogger
