    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    It only runs rough after it has been running for a few miles. I would think it would be smoother but, after driving it around a few miles, it shudders a lot more in gear (under load, like you said) but when placed in P or N, it evens out nicely.

    No smoke on start up or after stepping on the pedal. I will check out the fuel valve today - thank you.

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    I have not been able to locate any information on this so here I am... My 6.5 starts up fine, runs fine but lately, since its a bit warmer now, after a longer drive, and the engine is warmed up, it runs rough in gear but in P or N it idles great. I took off the air intake piece, air cleaner...

    In regard to checking and replacing tubing, hopefully avoiding failure at a future date. These 2 larger sized tubing from the power steering reservoir feel soft to the touch, unlike a more rigid, harder to the touch tubing like the tubing connecting the power steering cooler lines. Do they...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    I recall reading on a forum about a potential issue called a 'vampire' leak, where the lines between the transmission and transfer case can leak or break, causing the transfer case to overfill and remove fluid from the transmission. The suggestion was to cap off these lines to separate the...

    To get my HMMWV (M1097A2) in good running order... need help.

    So... from what I am understanding the transmission is supposed to be running, go through the gears, holding for 2 seconds, put the parking brake on, put tranny in N and check the level... With the engine running...? Just want to make sure I am doing it correctly because I am sure that I have...

    Looks like its a too short of a hose that wiggled off a bit so I bought a longer hose to give that a try.

    Transmission fluid spray........ On my way home today, I pulled into the garage and saw a lot of trans fluid on the floor and the right front shock & A-arm. Obviously a line or the cooler sprung a leak... Now the question is, how do I find it, add fluid and let it spray? Thank you

    Okay, well that's great to know. I guess it goes back to "if it's not broken, don't fix it." My plan is to just get it working as well as I can, not cause additional problems. Thank you

    What is everyone's opinion regarding the grounding kits that are available? If the truck is working do you still add it or? Not that I want to spend money, I was just wondering everyones experience / input. thank you

    I unplugged the trans light itself and it lights up. On the truck side, I connected the positive lead on the female side of 657, and then connected the negative lead and the light did not turn on. I then touched the negative lead of the light to the block and the light turned on. Looking at...

    So... I have made some progress but have a question about what this TM shows (see pic). Item 1: testing the trans lamp as outlined, the lamp turns on, nice and bright. Item 2: tested 657A and it showed 12.5v. Item 3: tested for continuity jumping as shown and it showed fine. But, the...
