Batteries are fine, replaced the box with a CAMO box and no luck, the main guy at CAMO was super great and we were on the phone with him for an hour while he walked us through what it could be. He seems to think its a loose cable causing a ground issue. We checked all sort of cables and no dice...

It seems like it is likely the start box, I am strongly considering getting a CAMO one since this seems like a VERY common issue with the S3 box, unless someone has a different suggestion. I spoke with the owner of CAMPO for a bit and replacing the box and possibly the glow plugs seems like the...

The ignition switch is fine and getting 24V, just double checked. The trans light comes on but the break light and wait light do not. The wait light does not seem to get any power checked by a multimeter. They use to light up for a split second when first turned to run, but not anymore. You can...

Checked all the grounds, everything looks good. Could it be the ignition switch?

We drove our 2001 M1123 HMMWV into the middle of nowhere on federal land and when we went to leave it won't turn over. Getting there, no issues, every previous time has never had an issue with starting. The batteries are 12.7 and 12.75 so I do not think it is the batteries. At first, turning...

I guess there is a different CDR for HMMWV with the deep water fording kits. I would like to see if I can get it running this week, what are people's thoughts on just using a regular for a short time ( few minutes / hours of run time ) until I get the Deep Water Fording version?

Well here it is! I guess the reason it needs "jump" to get started was b/c there were no batteries! I am planning on just getting 2x group 24 batteries from Costco, unless there is a better suggestion. The things is of course incredibly filthy, is there is special precautions I should take when...

Thanks, I am not going to try and figure out if I should try and register it in NV or try the dirt legal thing and also figure out insurance... Also, waiting for the SF-97 that I didn't realize will take 30-60 days after the EUC has been approved....

thanks! Did any of yours come with a CDR valve? Also, did you stick with original seats or upgrade to something else?

That was much faster than I expected, the EUC cleared faster than expected and the truck is on the way, hopefully being delivered today. Will https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CRB29445 work for the CDR?

Thanks! Any preferred place I should be looking to pick them up?

Will do, thanks!

Thanks guys! This is what I got, seemed like a reasonable deal. This will be for moving heavy things in difficult off road conditions so I don't plan on doing much to it other than get it running well.

Thanks for the info!

Hello Everyone, Just purchased a HMMWV and getting ready to take the adventure! This seems to be the place for info so I thought I would start my research now, I am guessing it is going to need a new start box / starter / alternator or batteries since it won't restart without a jump (per the...
