I took two trial runs and had the same issue that occurred once on each test drive around the block. At around 30mph, the lighting turned off and I heard a welding like sound in front of me possibly coming from under the dash or hood that last for a second or two. The sound stopped and the...

So while rebuilding all of the calipers, I noticed that they contained a mixture of dot3 (green) and dot 5 (purple). I emptied the master cylinder to get rid of the junk fluid and applied a vacuum on the lines to get the remainder out. Now I have topped of the master cylinder with milspec...

Hello, While changing the fluids on a new to me 2012/M1167 from GP, I found oil in my rear diff that looks like a milkshake. I also noticed that the vent line was also removed/hanging. I drained to diff and waited till the next day to see is the cooling system is leaking. Sure enough, I...

Hello, If the truck was a runner and then sat in the desert without the cdr/air cleaner, should the motor be torn down or is there a process to flush? The truck I'm looking at has the hood in place giving the engine some protection. OR should I just change the oil /replace parts and go for it...

After searching all of the parts TM's, I am unable to locate any diagram that shows reinforcement on the body side for piano style hinges. Can someone point me in the right direction in the TM (body side reinforcement) to mount heavy doors, share some pictures, or a source for parts. I found...

Hello, I am trying to finish a 4 door MAK kit and have been unable to find any documentation (parts list or instructions) on it or even who made it. I have searched the TM's and SS with no luck (afterthought armor). My understanding is that the door use the same door latching set that the...

So a few weeks ago my 802a ran out of diesel. After topping it off and cranking forever, I looked at the fuel filters, The were dry so I applied 24v directly to the transfer pump inside the side door above the battery. It did not move any fuel so I ordered a NOA Faucet square replacement...

I was issued an m1097a2 for a short period of time before I out and it came with all kinds of new stuff. Like the jack mount by the tire and a max axe to replace the old pioneer rack. So 20 years later I am trying to setup my M1123 to have all of the accessories my old truck had. So my first...

Over the last few weeks, I have noticed several 1123's at Barstow with terrible fresh paint jobs. Some have even included fresh footprints in the paint along with painted gravel. Someone is simply masking of the gauge/lights and painting over the dirt/rust. While most 1123's go for under 10k...

So I spent a few hours yesterday swapping out my old starter by myself. The old starter worked always cold but once the truck reached operating temp, it would take a light precise hammer blow to the solenoid to start it. So I thought the solenoid was bad. So after the new to me (working take...

I decided it was time to move up from the trusty M1028. I was looking at M109'a or awhile and won this M185a3 from Barstow. I won it without inspecting it. I submitted my EUC on 3/25 and got approval today, the 31st. My 1st EUC took like a month so 4 working days is amazing. Now I plan to drive...

Attempted to start my M1028 today and there was no power sent to the starter. I went inside the house and had the keys in my pocket. A short time later while I was on the phone, I heard a truck cranking. After about twenty seconds, I still heard the cranking and I realized it was my truck. I...

I went high up into the Sierra's today and it was very warm. I was worried about overheating due to the long steep climb from 7000 feet up to 10300 feet and dozens of switchbacks. The 6.2 held 200 degrees the entire trip. I learned that the switchbacks were built by jeepers and not by CUCV...
