    Need Consoling.....

    A bit of load management may be in order, but it should generally be fine. Depending on how big and bad your compressor is, it might choke it.

    Safest way to uses a MEP 804b as a backup generator

    The phase converters cost almost as much as the generator. Agreed that 2/3 of an MEP804 is plenty for a house. The difference in fuel consumption compared to an 803 is the issue. For occasional use, I don't think it is a big deal.

    Is there a way to trace a HMMWV back to where is was deployed by the serial number?

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164561-2017-vin-info-thread That's the 2017 edition. There should be a 2018 soon

    1988 Humvee Voltage gauge, is this normal ?

    The little white tick mark in the middle of the green. In the world of 5ton trucks your symptoms foreshadow voltage regulator failure and the frying of electrical components. Not sure about it in the context of hmmwv. If you haven't yet installed a grounding harness, I suggest that. It may or...

    12V system and RFID push button start

    Maine RSMS set it to zero at rebuild. It's probably accurate for your engine but not the chassis. RSMS basically set it to as-new anyway. Sounds like a good truck.

    M936 not shifting out of first

    Lindsey97 in Wynnewood OK has a transmission new in the can. He also has a pretty good truck he's parting out. The truck drove and shifted fine - lost the coolant into the oil.

    M923 recovery!!!

    I wouldn't. That just has too much potential for a rear end collision. I did similar with a pick up truck once. It was nerve wracking. Also, turning those 14.00R20s without power assist is no trivial exercise. Again, a big opportunity for badness. I like the tractor idea better than the...

    What's involved with collapsing down a M813?

    No, just roll the windows down. Fold windshield.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    Air is slowly making its way past the ice occlusion and/or the occlusion has possibly partially cleared.

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    Here's my best guess - you've got pockets of moisture throughout the system. It's frozen. This may trap high pressure air in the spring brakes not allowing them to deploy, or it may just block the moving parts from moving. On the service side, you also have pockets of moisture. This prevents...

    1078 LMTV air brakes COMPLETELY inoperative

    Your Original Post Said 30 degrees, and i was completely at a loss for what would cause this . 20 degrees changes the equation completely. They're frozen...

    M1078

    I'm half nuts and frequently take chances with making it home with risky auction trucks. This isn't a risky auction truck. It's a dead truck. I wouldn't consider trying to drive it. Budget whatever simp's fees are into the plans.

    Motor swaps

    I defy you to find a *worse* choice than the 6.2, lol. These things should have had a 4bt or something similar, from the get go. Similar power, and ten times the life expectancy.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Tried to start it a couple of days ago at 6*. It cycled the glowplugs, then gave one halfhearted crank and clicked at me. I gave up. Today, having not charged the batteries and having not done anything to it, I tried again. It cycled the glowplugs and started easily on the first crank...
