I rebuilt one, it isn't too difficult. You can order most everything surplus parts wise. You might as well replace all the seals with new ones while it's apart, or at least check them. Check the ball bearings. Be careful with those threads, it cost me a spindle. Had the learn the hard way...

Excuse the title, I'm on my phone in the truck. I cant seem to find this particular issue, most threads lead back to a glow plug issue, which I have ruled out. Last week I took the hmmwv to the dunes and beach and ran it pretty hard. Also got some salt on it, which I washed most of it off. A...

That's it, thanks. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Good evening all. I was off roading the m998 today and whilist going through a rut the peddle snapped down. I tried to pull the manual throttle control out just get out of the situation and nothing, completely lose. It appears the throttle link has snapped. Now, this is probably an easy fix I...

I really really wanted to come. But ol girl decided now was the time to blow a glow plug control box and strand me at a cigar bar at 2 am. Next time let me know. She'll be fixed in 2 weeks. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I have one on galveston island that I've owned for a month So far I've been able to fix everything myself. But would be good to have a plan B if something goes very wrong at some point. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Update. After throwing some parts at it because I was getting live wire readings and figured the issue was with the signal box. I got half the problems fixed. After replacing the blinker unit and switch unit under the dash the blinkers now work. I think the signal control was fine. But now I...

Had to work on my power steering first. This I'll work on in the next week or two and will report results. I ordered a new turn signal unit and a new blinker switch.

I ordered just the parts I need. If it's not right I can order more. What all did you need to do the job besides the spanner wrench.

What am I looking for that they did on that wo. Haven't read that far yet. Just about to do a geared hub check when I get the power steering fixed. Anyone y'all know of that would want to buy the old unit to rebuild?

I tried taking out the light bulb and it didn't make a difference. However I am sure I don't have an electronic flasher unit. Everything is unupgraded on this except the new led tail lights. Looks like my best bet is to replace the flasher unit and check the turn signal control.

It is acting like there are shorts. But what puzzels me is the turn signals not flashing in the front but lighting up solid, the blackout lights working but not the main tail lights, one rear light working sometimes when it feels like it, but not the other and my wipers work sometimes but not...

It's a recent one from last September. So far no other leaks except that. Guess I'll just swap it out.
