    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Turn to Alcohol? Diesel engines run better on other stuff like Kerosene. Drinking alcohol is much better and lightens things up. 😂 This will be a learning process. Swear jars will be filled to the brim. No expectations, just gonna start work.

    Funvee dead 😕

    One of my trucks went dead when I was driving it. Initially I was exasperated, and then I realized I had been working on the electrics replacing the protective control box with one of my genius boxes. When I checked my connections, turned out that one plug had fallen off because I did not...

    HMMWV Alternator problem

    You can make a semi- woodruff. I suggest it. Make a pattern with a central hole for the main bolt and a smaller hole for a dowel that allows you to drill half pulley and half alternator shaft. This will be really tight and near the threads. Tap in round stick dowel and use nut to tighten AND...
