    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    You're lucky if they even have batteries. Many have been baking dead in the desert and are jumped started with their battery cart. Sign up for the extended hobby vehicle warranty, another 100 K dollars. Batteries not included, CAMO AND to start a ruckus... AGM and Flooded cell types...

    New to hmmwv's, trying to figure things out to get the right one

    Going to be a bit hard to tell with the "blow by"check. Cold engine, possible CDR valve removed, engine hasn't ran in month...years?? I would look for... and It's a crap shoot🎯... WAIT light cycled before start, a quick cranking cycle to running, oil pressure comes up and holds around 40...

    Sounds like you have / are doing your homework. Not going over the top, plain and simple... Which IMO is the smart line to take. M1123 gets all the goodies to do the job and keep up with most traffic. Top down in summer best way to cruze. Who can do that in a picky up truck, LOL If I was...

    Unknown red switch under driver dash

    Someone when to a lot of trouble to fit that up in there. Looks a little fishy. I don't think the wiring harness supports one there. Tug and pull to see what's on the other end,CAMO

    Need help with Packard connectors

    Somebody say proper tool ?? Here's a picture of my tool... Note the 4 little crimping widgets at the center putting the squeeze on the pins. If careful and proper technique, soldering can work in a pinch. What's in your tool box? CAMO

    Need help with Packard connectors

    PACKARD connectors in PICTURES I am not sure what you have with your connector shown. Might be a new design or a imported knockoff? Now for the real deal pictures. Overall wiew of assembly. Male, female, boy, girl, cat, dog , inee, outee. YOU decide. Note the white sleeve that centers...

    Title or SF97 Form for HMMWV

    I was just directing owers to the same page DMV works off of. No means no. A year ago, a buddy down the road , went three time to hear the word NO. Time to lawyer UP. CAMO

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Little heads up... Gauges or sender can be flaky, more important check over ALL the connections. Power and especially grounds. They are a three wire circuit, power, ground and sender. A balancing act of electricity...so to say. Resistive change is just a few Ohms from 0 to 33 more or less...

    What should the oil pressure be on the 6.5L?

    Who changed the Sender with What? 🤔 Rule of thumb(y) 10 PSI per 1000 RPM hot. Little more is better. Way more, something not right IMO. Screw in a mechanical gauge to be sure. Military electrical ones not always so good. That's one tight engine, CAMO

    Sheared generator bracket bolts.

    Also note that the spacer is used with one and not the other cradle. Just saying. In my set-up... After fussing with this brackets, alternator business, I used the long one to the block. Running the 60 Amp just made more sense not having to deal with exhaust heat /rusty bolt issues. Right...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    64 post later... So what was the problem? And they call it a "Smart Box" LOL. The END, CAMO.
