I never said that. The truck wouldn't start with the old box. This morning everything worked as I think it should. I got a wait light and it started up with no issues. I drove it to work and hopefully it will start at lunch.
Yes, I disconnected the batteries. The wait light always came on with the old PCB before it broke, that is why I was concerned. Maybe I'm not real familiar with the smart box.
I got the PCB replaced with a smart box and a yellow banded TSU. Initially, everything worked after I hooked it up. the wait light came on and went off after about ten seconds. It started right up with no issues. The glow plugs were firing like they are supposed to. I let it sit for about...
Bad PCB and need help with removal
I drove my HMMWV to work today, but I noticed that the wait light flashed on and immediately off when I turned the key. I let it sit for about 10-15 seconds and then turned the key to start and it started up. When I started it during this occasion the...
I drove mine on a 55 mile round trip yesterday. I have previously been driving it around town and before the drive yesterday I filled up and checked my fuel economy and determined I get 11 mpg (6.5L) in town. I am not sure what my highway fuel economy is. This was the most I have ever driven...
I was not comfortable driving mine until I inspected it.

2) I then removed the hub backplate and inspected the spindle and spindle nut to ensure that the nut was properly attached and that the lock washer was still...
Are you a lawyer? If so, please point me to the federal law that one would be in violation of if they were to decide register their HMMWV (This thread is not about registration, I am just asking for you to clarify your point).
Those of you that have HMMWVs from the USMC auction years ago, are you mad that the gov is selling HMMWVs again and causing the value of your vehicle to drop? Is this one of the reasons the board is so anti-registration? Just wondering.
It depends. Click the "Sold" tab at the top and you'll see all of them that sold. Mine was $9,000 and after using the ironclad warranty it was reduced to $7750. Be forewarned that you'll spend much more than that getting it to be in the configuration and restoration level you want.
I have the floor mounted fire extinguisher mount next to my seat. What size fire extinguisher fits in it? I bought one at lowes today and it was too big. The household extinguishers are too small.
Thanks.
In a related matter, I used red colored Permatex Gasket Maker Anaerobic Sealant on mine yesterday when resealing the back cover on to the hub after inspecting the spindle nut. The package didn't say anything about cure time, whereas other gasket maker sealants (other than anaerobic sealants...
