Can someone explain how the 6.5 liter normally aspirated engine is vented?
I changed injectors last month. I must have loosened the oil dipstick seal, as the next time I went on the freeway oil was all over the bottom of the truck. It was so bad I thought it was a power steering/brake boost...
I have the later, non-turbocharged engine in a 2008 1163. Today, all of a sudden, it started making a "squeaking" noise, which sounded like the belt was chirping. Then, on acceleration, it continues the chirping, but also started an irregular knocking. Within 5 minutes the knocking was...
In warm weather and if the truck's been running in the last couple hours it cranks and starts instantly. If the air temperature is below 40 degrees and you are starting it for the first time of the day, I have to crank it for at least 30 seconds, getting several "bumps" before it finally takes...
Today marks 9 months since I paid for my M1123. Still no SF97. If I had a dollar for every time GP told me "just one more week", I'd have the truck paid off.
Is anyone else having this kind of trouble getting the Paperwork?
Just making sure this is normal...The power steering makes a hissing sound all the time, until the steering hits the limit stop, then it changes tone, but still rather loud. It's funny that, in such a loud vehicle, the power steering is loud enough to hear over the diesel.
I've searched and read through all the spring threads I can find. Lots of good info, but little "follow on" reports of how the trucks ride. Right now I figure our M1123 has had at least 3k pounds of gear removed, so the springs are like bricks. Here is my goal, and I would appreciate anyone...
My truck has the fording kit that was de-milled. I don't understand the kit fully, so I don't understand what was done/removed in the demil. When I look on Ebay, there is a "full" kit and a much cheaper kit offered. Can someone explain what the de-mil entails, and also is the small kit all I...
In general I have been impressed with the mx done to my M1123 before I got it. Then, there is the steering wheel. When driving straight, the steering wheel angle is all wonky, and there is a white line painted on the hub to show where straight is. I'll fix the alignment, but the question then...
I'm having trouble finding a source for camo paints, short of taking a panel into the local paint supplier and having them match. Is there a company selling military camo paints?
As I sit around waiting for my SF97, I decided to replace the glow plugs on my M1123. Being my first time, I was pretty surprised at how cooked they were. Only 1 plug was in decent shape. The rest were bulged, bent, cooked, or had holes. Now she starts and runs much better!
So, what is it...
Before I start re-asking a lot of questions, can someone explain a way to limit the search to just the HMMWV forum? When I search it brings up all forums.
The questions I am looking for, in case anyone reads this are:
1) What tire pressure are you guys running on the military Goodyears on an...
I finally got my 1123 after 6 months. The passenger seat is navy blue! In the pre-purchase pics the seat was off a bit, but was most definitely green. Iron Planet says the seats change color like that in the "weather". Has anyone else had a seat change colors? I removed it in the second...
I finally got the 2008 1123 home. It came with the air conditioner condenser assembly loose in the back, and some kind of roof mounted evap and blower assembly just laying between the seats. I have to assume all this was once mounted to a hard top, but I cannot visualize how. Does anyone have...
