Speddmon, Thank you sir. I probably was at or near idle when I attempted to flash...remember that was my SOP for starting the unit. I will see what happens on the next test run in 3 months and then adjust the lock-out switch as suggested. By the way, oil pressure built within seconds with...

Speddmon, Thanks. I looked my paper copy of the manual (-12) and read it again thoroughly. I still couldn't find where it says not to idle it. My version is dated 1977. I won't do that anymore! As far as moving the selector back to start while running, I tried that the first time and it...

That is...sharpest tack in the box...told ya!

Doghead, You're absolutely right. I have the TMs, just never remember seeing that. I'm not the smartest tack in the box--as they say. I will look again. You learn every day!

Speddmon et al., Don't want to hijack the thread, but I was unaware not to idle the unit. I've been starting mine with the throttle all the way in (idle), then bringing it up to 60 Hz. Then I drop it back to idle and shut it down. Please school me here, what is correct? Also, on my test run...

Mark, Are you getting fuel to the filter bleeder with the lift pump? That's the first step. Where'd you get the new truck?

I think times are tough for many folks too. I do agree with fuzzy though, I think you are over priced.

Tom, Can you recommend something besides heaters that I can annually test my set with? I currently hook it up to the house, which takes time (I have to move it out of the shed). I'd prefer to do it in situ. Thanks!

Kenny, Your project sounds like a good idea. In my opinion, if you aren't restoring it for posterity and it's not earning it's keep, dump it! I'm sure insurance costs are also contributing to your decision (in addition to maintaining the thing. My bad back was part of the reason for the...

I always carried a spare tire. Pattern is 8 on 6.5 inches. I agree with steelandcanvas and others--check it out thoroughly after you get off base/post. One that I purchased had a single bolt (partially threaded) holding one of the backing plates on. That'll get your attention real fast...

JB, Yea, I still have that to do. I will run a piece of U metal stock down the sides and weld it to plate that I will bolt to the fenderwell. It was really quite easy and fun. If I had to do it again, I would use wider angle stock for the corners. The bolt overlap at the front was tough.

I have two 116A3s. Both flatbeds. So, to make one more useful, I converted it to a cargo--very inexpensively. $30 in lumber, $20 in steel, $20 in fasteners. I plan to weld a drop tailgate with hardware cloth on it. Should be mighty handy.

Affirmative on the bolt pattern. 8 on 6.5 inch diameter.

Got my oil filter adaptor from Tom (Speddmon) and installed it today. It only took about 9 days to get it. I changed the oil in my genset this afternoon and installed the adaptor in about 3 minutes! Genset ran like a top as usual. This setup should make for easy oil changes! Thanks much...

I was interested recently, but decided it was too much upkeep for my limited skills. Try this site for information: The Hummer Network Forums :: Index good luck.

Yep, fuel bung.

If you want to reuse the runflat, how do you get it back in? My first one I could not get out and since it ticked me off I cut it. Another question. Do I HAVE to use the runflat device in my new tires?

Doghead got it spot on. Thank you sir for your kind act. Pass it on!

Lifer, Jake, Thanks for the advice guys. I have 6, so I will use one as a test.

Acquired a number of trailers (M116A3) on GL to get these HMMWV rims for my truck. All the tires are pointed in the same direction. I'm assuming they are a directional tire. Three questions: 1. Is the orientation correct in the photo labeled pass? 2. If I break down the rim, can I just flip...
