Please tell me the USA ain't the best place to live...

Haven't had it running long enough to pay attention the fan. Will start looking out thou. Yea, the line is connected to the PS cap, and runs to the filter. The lines are open where the Cdr used to be, and it's open where the fording canister used to be. Should I plug all these? One of my low...

I have, but with the style without the fording connection.

S/N 187408

Thanks for replying. It is the older style, the reservoir is built in the pump, service cap/port is below the generator. But the only difference between no P/S and no P/S and gushing out when shut down is if I have the TDM/Cadillac Valve connected electrically. If it's disconnected it does not...

Need more help, please. Have had the M1123 rig for about 2 weeks now. Always have had power steering almost non existent. Fluid is topped off and always large air bubbles, not the tiny ones that make the fluid milky, but the larger ones like when pouring a soda into a glass. Just this morning I...

Here are very similar ones, without the plate. But for the difference you could have those made

Do you have pictures or a link, when you speak of "these"?

Hey GY, according to the operators manual, TM 9-2320-280-10, chapter 2-11, page 2-108, that is the correct procedure to shift the transfer case in or out of any place with the transfer case. Keep in mind, transmission shifting and transfer case shifting are not the same and should be done in...

Hey again, Last night I started on the rear. The bolts were barely more than finger tight, and empty. So, I am now leaning, just like you, that it was supposed to be drained, but only the two transfer cases were done. I am digging in to the hubs next, let's wait and see what they have. Man...

That is what I thought of first too. Then again, the RTV seal was still stuck, the draiin plug is stripped and won’t budge, and all the other fluids were still full. So weird…

Now I would need help/advice on the differentials. Since I couldn’t get the drain plug out, I removed the cover on the front. The diff was completely empty, like it was drained. The cover was still stuck to the RTV, and the drain plug couldn’t be removed, HOW did the diff get THAT empty...

Sooo, a few more troubles going on. While searching for Serpentine Belt, I found one on Fleabay with 3 pictures. The first had a government issued belt, with military tags and other marking for $42 +S&H. The other two pictures were from an aftermarket belt. The markings on them were PK82490...

Hey mow***com, I just read your thread about your M1123 project. I too have a newly purchased '99 M1123, so that made me look at your data plate pic and compare... Your serial number is only 8 trucks younger than mine. 187408 vs 187416. Pretty cool rig, and like you I also had charging and...

Excellent point, thanks!
