Congratulations on getting the truck running! I hope you enjoy it.

Lucky you made it back home. When I first recovered my A2, I drove it home from Fort Indiantown Gap, PA to North Georgia without difficulty. Days later, the trans was in 5th gear and it started shedding teeth. Total loss. Installed a takeout transmission and new clutch.

I have an M1030M1. Most of the engine parts are unavailable. Likely, the injector is some standard injector. Can you see any writing on the injector? You said the injector is rusty. Does it still work OK? If it still works OK, I wouldn't mess with it. Fred Hayes, the developer of the...

Why not run a compression test on the engine before tearing it down?

When you do get ready to drive it the first time you need to note that the deuce has a unique shift pattern. I would recommend that you stick with DOT 5 brake fluid. It's expensive, but good stuff and also what is supposed to be in it. You can often find gallon cans of it on Ebay.

I have an M35A3 and I always use my emergency flashers when on the interstate or any other highway with a high speed limit, and especially at night. The black color of your HMMWV multiplies the danger.

Check out Expedition Imports. https://expedition-imports.com/ They have the correct power steering filter for $13.52. The P/N is: 0004660404 They also carry a significant number of other parts for the FLU419.

Don't get the Sawzall out. I've removed and reassembled 7 different M35A3 wheels and beadlocks on my A3 by myself. It isn't that difficult if you use the correct tools and procedure. I use either tire lube or Dawn dishwashing liquid for lubricant. Using lubricant is very important. Without...

I had very similar issues with my FLU419 when I first got it. Check out the rod in the throttle linkage P/N 4063000615BA at Expedition Imports. Mine was mangled and I replaced it for less than $30.00 at EI. I also went ahead and replaced all of the throttle springs and lubricated everything...

Hawkers are great batteries. Count me in.

I'll see if I can bring some. I still haven't gone over my deuce yet - I'm going to start this morning.

I've used a pair of vice grips and a long farm jack.

I have an MEP003A and it sparks every time I connect the cables. The batteries never drain down.

I haven't even touched my deuce yet or gotten anything organized - I better get started. I did receive a French military surplus tent in the mail today that I intend to set up. I thought about driving my FLU419 to the rally, just to be different, but man that thing is slow!

It depends on the State. I had my car totaled in Michigan when a Michigan car rear-ended me. I was stopped and he said he was only going 60 when he hit me. Almost killed me. I only had liability insurance from Georgia. Michigan was a "total no fault" state regarding both liability...

I would make sure you have the other driver's insurance information in case you find hidden damage. Was the other driver ticketed? I would also request a copy of the accident report. Years ago, my wife had an accident where a driver ran her off the road and up a guy wire on a utility pole...

Good experience!

You need to keep after UPS. They will pay. Make certain that you take photos and don't do anything with the broken one until you get paid.

I use wheel bearing grease on mine. Works well.

That is a very good idea and easy to do. There is a valve on the firewall that will let you cut off the air. If it still pulls, something else is wrong. The leaking air could be a separate issue from the pulling. As far as adding oil to the input, I jacked up the entire front of my A3 until...
