Oh yeah, I spent the $100 on the wrench set, it still sucked..

Well, It's been almost two years but I finally got motivated to figure this thing out and it was not the transmission. It was the timing on the injection pump. It looks like the pump was replaced at some point and they never timed it. There was a mark on the block but no marks at all on the...

Pretty sure it is not in limp mode. It does shift. I can feel it shift 1-2 and then if I let off it will shift into 3 and 4 I have manually shifted from 1 to 2 and 2 to drive and drive to overdrive. Same symptoms. Trans light comes on in run/wait. Trans light turns off when engine starts...

Okay, so I have a 2004 M1123 with a NA Meltons 6.5. It has the electronic 4 speed transmission. I have been trying to figure out why it wont go above 45 mph. It starts up instantly every time. I replaced all the glow plugs. Every single one of them was burnt up, but it still started and ran...

Yes. That is exactly how mine were. My slide hammer has a 3 jaw attachment that I used to grab the back side of the extensions.

I was able to easily remove the extensions on my 1123 with a slide hammer. I tried to pry them off with hammers and wonderbars but was worried about the frame and the glass. The slide hammer took the first one off with two hits and the other one came off with one hit. I may have bee more...

I spent yesterday and made up some brackets to adapt the Smittybuilt seats to the high back mounting pattern. Today I installed all 4 of them into the truck. The highbacks were not awful but these are a nice improvement. I also took the M1123 for its first real drive on the streets. Drove it...

Worked on the horn today. It didn't/doesn't work and I am still not quite sure where the actual horn is, but I pulled the horn button off the steering wheel and it does not have continuity. How can a sealed rubber and steel part fail? Seriously? All it has to have are two metal parts touch...

Had my first big win with the HMMWV today. When I picked it up I knew it didn't have windshield wipers or arms. No big deal they are readily available. So I bought the needed parts. Well when I tried the switch... Nothing... Nothing at all. So I started testing things and low and behold the...

Hey, I'm not too far away over in Alabama. I just picked up a M1123 also. Should be fun or a nightmare... Hard to tell at this point.

Here she is the day I got her home.

Hello all, I have been lurking/looking for a HMMWV for quite a while. I just picked up a 2004 m1123 from Albany on the 5th of February. 2424 miles, had the MAK installed so its full of holes. Has a new 2 man top and doors. Bought on 10/16/19. Still waiting for SF97. All in all, other than...
