So Patracy, how do you look up Insurance issues specifically for Florida? I understand that this Insurance thread is STATE specific and for sure that is the way it should be but I could not find how to get to it.

I don't know specifically in NY but Progressive and Hagerty and in my case State Farm (in Florida) will insure your Humvee under "AM General Humvee", I would give it a shot w/ these guys

You are probably right but all the tach's I have encountered do not have a "Cannon" plug so How would I go about installing a tachometer...?

Thank you.... let's look into it.

That's the thing, some ppl swear by the HL some for L... there has to be a preferable setup, and what about the gear though.... "D".... "2"..... "1"..... ? furthermore there is who says keep on steering slightly left to right and right to left as you try to come out of the mud. In other words...

I am sure this has been hammered more than a century old anvil but when I ask I get discrepant views, does anyone know the official setting...? also what is the trick with pressing the brake pedal as you rev up the engine (I herd of this but don't know the specifics)

not really.... but I think is worth trying, i'll look for some on Amazon.

hummm.... :unsure: we are at it again, I don't understand why the LED bulb goes into the socket perfectly snug, yet every once in a while it goes out and stays out until i open the tail light and twist it ever so slightly, then it'll stay on for another coupla days and it will do this again.

As it turns out all I needed to do is squeeze the sockets a tiny bit where the bulb fits very snug even before turning it (The weird question remains though: why were they failing in tandem..?) I did that on both sockets and did not have a problem since.

The weird thing though is that if it was about the tail light assy or the bulb themselves, they would not always quit (or light up) in tandem, meaning that when this problem happens or cease to happen it's always the both of them together so I believe it could be something else.

So.... I have both of my tail lights that do not come on, they have LED bulbs, the other lights (turn and stop) have standard bulbs they work just fine. So I turn on the lights in my parking lot and nothing, some times I have gotten out of the truck at a red light and both of my lights were on...

it was a defective Gas pump, the shaft/pin that makes the pump work was broken. Replaced it with a electric pump from the auto parts store, runs just fine.

I didn't know about this switch but definitely worth taking a look at it because it would make sense that if that switch has an intermittent contact, it would provoke that reaction. Can you tell me more specifically where that switch is located....?

Hey Thunderbirds thanks a lot for the picture, it really helps A LOT to identify components in the engine compartment especially when you are not familiar with the name and location of engine components. I'll definitely be checking on that as soon as I get back to my Humvee. Thanks again

I visually inspected the engine compartment and the pedals area but did not see anything out of the ordinary

Very good question Mogman but the answer is "No", I have carefully examined the "conditions" in which this problem happens and there is no consistency... no "precursor", engine temp (cold or hot) is not a factor, slope (going up hill or down hill) is not a factor (Florida is so damn flat) speed...

Nothing moving.... (no strange sound.... no mechanical force change at the pedal... no clues)

hehehe... no... the only animal present is behind the steering wheel :giggle:

The problem is that going at a steady speed, say…. 30 mph without changing the pressure applied on the gas pedal, all of a sudden the truck (1151) behaves like if I floored the pedal, it even downshifts on it’s own and takes off, and if I keep the same pressure on the pedal, it reaches about 50...
