    M1165A1 Electronic Speedometer

    Am I wrong in my observation that the OEM Speedometers on these ECVs have a very high failure rate? Or is it just a mirage? Mine stopped working and I have checked all the wiring and read all the values with nothing wrong. Thinking about adding a GPS speedo. Thank you

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    For now, I will reinstall the removed stock springs and get a set of Cepek shocks to install at a later date. I have no problem spending $1500,00 for a set of lifetime shocks. It does rub me raw to spend $1800.00 on a set of springs lol

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    TOBASH, I would have tried the spacers if the springs had not collapsed, but as they are, they have very little spring left in them, so adding the spacer would only collapse them more, I believe. The spacers, I believe, are 1" or 2", and I lost over 3 inches of fender clearance. However, I am...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Well, I took the plunge and installed the Armada/ MOOG 81085 springs in the front position. Based on my calculations, I cut one ring from the springs to achieve the closest ride height I had with the old springs. With the new springs, I effectively lowered the front end 3"s!! This was not the...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I have looked through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to my questions. Perhaps I can ask some of you experts to help? I have been attempting to install the Armada 4x4 springs in my 1165 with a winch and ibis-tech bumper. Most of the posts on...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I have read and considered the Armada springs; I believe they will work for my application as my M1165 is light. I am not sure what the advantage is of having the Cepek shocks, but I will research. I appreciate the feedback. My kidneys thank it as well Haha

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    I am curious: would the 954s fit an M1165 A1? Just looking for a softer ride, not trying to do a lift or level.

    HMMWVs with water fording valve punched out

    Does anyone know the hose routing of the DWF system on an M1165A1? I am attempting to correct the hack job the DEMIL did! I have looked in the TM and it shows the earlier models but not the ECV. I may be looking in the wrong manual? I can only find one hose near the DWF valve and I assume it...

    Jack rail/rock slider question

    I have and they were good to work with, shipping was fast and the fit is good, I am just worried about dissimular metal issues. I may remove them to put some insulation between them. Cheers
