    HMMWV Junk Yards in California or anywhere

    Seeing as hmmwvs were required to be mutilated to the point of "nothing useable" up until just recently it is highly unlikely you'll find anything intact in a junkyard, much less a junkyard dedicated to them.

    Newbie what to look for?

    single circuit brakes, which are risky (even more so if you plan to tow a trailer with it.) I disagree with your premise that the single circuit brakes are more dangerous while towing than when not towing. I assert that towing a trailer with the M35A2C actually increases braking safety...

    Newbie what to look for?

    The brakes on the deuces would rule them out for me. I just don't like the single circuit brakes with a single point of failure leaving you with no brakes. Towing a travel trailer is going to necessitate a custom hitch for any of the MVs. Any of the diesel trucks will have a good deal more...

    Issues with SF-97

    Makes for lower prices for the rest of us :) The SF97 lag just gives me more time to go through the truck and repaint it, then when the paperwork is ready to go, the truck is also ready to go. Then people have a choice of rolling the dice on an unknown auction truck with a wait for paperwork...

    M923A2 dies when I hit the brake

    Bump it into N as you come to a stop and see what that does. If it still dies, then it is probably fuel related.

    And not everyone expects the EUC process to be fast or easy. Out of those 300, you may have a few dissatisfied but probably not many. At this point the EUC is a known problem and should be anticipated...

    Issues with SF-97

    We have an effective monopoly. If we had multiple companies with access to sell them I strongly suspect that resolving these issues would be a higher priority. Marketing consists of setting expectations, the higher the better for sales. Customer service consists of meeting expectations. These...

    Issues with SF-97

    nobody is keeping them in running condition before the sale either.... in all seriousness, these trucks sit for months to years prior to being sold. push hard enough and you just might get GP to decide you're more trouble than you're worth, and they'd refund your purchase price and sell the...

    Let off the accellerator to encourage it to shift. I notice this is quite common on the A2s.

    Are the Florida titles worth it?

    5 calls to DMV generally gets you 5 mutually exclusive answers. I have been unable to get AZ to accept SF97 for any vehicles. I have always gone with real titles. My experience is for 5ton trucks and assorted trailers. I have no direct experience with anything specific to hmmwvs.

    5 ton bed on a Deuce?

    If you shorten it, take a bite out of it such that two of the bottom crossmembers end up just a few inches from each other when rewelded. This makes that portion tje strongest and stiffest, with the most reinforcement. I don't see a reason to shorten it, unless departure angle is very...

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    he suggests that it's worth a look to make sure the cable hasn't abraded itself against the block on the driver's side, and that this is a well known design flaw on the m939 series trucks... and fix/prevent it by enclosing the cable in a hose. his translation device picked a different word than...

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. Many of you know more than I do on a large number of topics. I continue to read and learn.

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    Battery acid isn't *that* reactive. I had safety glasses on (don't trust the other battery), but I just reached in with my bare hands and pulled them out, and then immediately washed my hands. Thick rubber chemical protective gloves would be a better practice.

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    Box was open until seconds before I started the truck. I almost didn't bother closing it, but obviously I'm glad I did now... I don't think there was sufficient time to accumulate any gasses in the box.

    So my battery EXPLODED today

    Went to start my M925A1. Two batteries only. I run all my 5tons on just two batteries. I've never had a problem. Ambient temp was 110ish. Battery switch on, all is well. Two triple clicks of the systems check. Flip the switch to start. The NH250 cranks vigorously and immediately fires...
