So, I've had an oddball concern come up. For a spell, I thought that my 4-way flashers were malfunctioning intermittently, as my turns signals worked 100% fine, brake lights were fine, and every position appeared to do what it should do...except sometimes my 4-ways wouldn't flash at all while...

Finished? It's not... but I can update! Engine was brought roaring back to life with a professional injection pump rebuild. I worked with DieselCare of Tennessee to have them perform a very cost-effective rebuild (under $300) that left me with a pump that fired up the engine with zero...

Double post...

That's exactly as I have it. About how much cranking do you think it will need? I've already had about 10 bursts of 15 second cranking since I saw fuel come out the IP return. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

Same as before. It's flowing into the pump just fine and the excess fuel all flows through the check valve into the return line. No fuel to the fuel injector lines. One forum I read for another truck using a DB2 says that these lines need back pressure to start flowing the fuel, so I'm going...

Dollars! Everything else has pretty much already been bought and paid for, so I can easily keep working on those things. Since I have some massive purchases to make very soon, I'm trying to hold off on the batteries as long as I can in the event that there are other high dollar items that will...

I've been ready to test my transmission the last couple days, but my engine is now failing to start. The batteries are known to be weak, so I don't get a whole lot of cranking time before I have to let the charger bring them back up (probably about 10-15 good 15 second cranks over an hour)...

The ripits are part of the authenticity of the experience. I couldn't commit to heavy smoking and chew, so I decided that I would drown in energy drinks and crack jokes about officers all day. But really, I am stockpiling the cans to deliberately clutter the HMMWV with, so that way if I decide...

Alright, I posted those promised pictures into the post above, so now I can tell you about the next step... As stated, I needed to secure the braid in-place so that it wouldn't slide around once installed and that it would be harder for anything to get trapped in the harness. I decided to make...

Wow, what a busy day (and morning, technically)! I've been working on the wiring harness for my transmission for two days solid. By far, this is the most progress I've had in any one stretch of time. I'm mobile, so I'm sure the pictures will be a jumbled lump at the end, so I'll just explain...

Thanks, TNriverjet. I've been idly waiting on money to order the next batch of parts. I'm pretty close to ready for that next stage, so I'm putting together my next detailed part list of everything I know I need. More fasteners (especially on equipment attached to the transmission), all the...

Did some more work today. Proper hose and fitting come in today, so I installed the quick disconnect for my engine fan. Now that I wouldn't be dumping power steering fluid, I was able to run my engine for a more extended period of time. Finally was able to pick up a few quirks... (and if you...

Updates! The biggest and most important update: the HMMWV starts and runs! In terms of major components, what was required to make it run was a new starter (was missing), an S3 (was missing), and an alternator (should have been missing-was broken terribly and not even bolted on). For general...

That was temporary, because I kept moving them around while I was playing with the brush guard...I'd honestly forgotten about it. It's still not going anywhere for a while, but I'll put it in my to-do list on the first post so I don't forget again. ;)

Actually, it's assembled exactly to official spec straight from Luverne. I am missing the lanyards at this point because it was a low priority for me. I'll be buying a bunch of 6" lanyard since it seems like my HMMWV is missing plenty of them all over the place. Now, is using a bolt with...

Thought it was time for some more pictures, because we all like pictures. Shiny new TruckLite LED headlights (heated), the grill guard and shackles being back where they belong and a shot of the back of the HMMWV and its bajillion drilled holes for antennas everywhere. Anyone know if they...

Finally found out what this is! If you check out 11-215 of the -20 TM you'll see that it's a sling-load spreader bar for an M997 Ambulance! NSN: 4910-01-313-8839 P/N: 12342102 Chapter 2-1 of TM 4-48.11 tells you all about how to rig it up and make use of it. Looks like there's a few other...

Grabbed a new Niehoff N1228-2 (EDIT: Look at note below. Don't buy this model) 200 Amp Alt yesterday out of Columbus, OH. Turns out my 60 Amp alternator wasn't connected for a good reason. If anybody wants a good condition bracket for the 60A, any of the brand new mounting hardware (only...

Found my Grill Guard parts. I'll copy & paste my writeup here: One of their engineers got back to me. I was wrong about needing bolts, nuts, and washers... It uses four straight retaining pins, 0.5 x 3.00". For the sake of not losing them, get a small cable to attach them together. These...

Alright, more work done. Pulled off the old exhaust completely and dragged it inside so that I can remove the broken muffler flange and replace it with the new muffler that conveniently came with the truck from the comfort of my basement. Pushed the truck back into its nest for the next couple...
