    Soft Top Channel? Need help identifying, please.

    Hello all. I was given several pieces of what's shown in the attached pictures. I assumed it was something similar to pn 12340031, which is used to secure the leading edge of a soft top to the top of the windshield. The edge of the soft top slides perfectly into the channel on the part, but...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I was having trouble with the fuel line threaded fitting lining up as well when I did mine. There's a couple of clamps holding the line in place on the front of the motor. I loosened those and it gave me enough play to get the fitting lined up fairly easily without having to bend or force the...

    Changes to NC Titling/Registration Laws

    NC DMV Tag & Title on Buck Jones Rd And for what it's worth, I still haven't been contacted about an inspection or anything like that for the m1123 or m1165.

    Elusive Electrical Gremlin

    I 100% agree. I could be wrong, but my money is on a loose power or ground connection somewhere. I've seen it more times than I can count over the years.

    M1152 Low Top Speed

    What does your tach show at idle? Here's the issue I was having with my m1165. See post #5 for RWH's explanation of why I was seeing what I was seeing. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/tachometer-inaccurate.205431/ Also, here's a cheap way to confirm actual engine speed...

    Turbo Intake Manifold Leak - Causes?

    I see a lot of the turbo trucks with oil leaks where the turbo connects to the intake manifold. I'm not a diesel engine or turbo guru by any definition, but this seems to be way more common on these trucks than I would have guessed. What causes it? Is it indicative of a more serious problem...

    Titling HMMWV in Indiana.

    I had the same issue at the first DMV I went to in NC - the sf97 reassignment letter from gp wasn't on an official DMV reassignment form, so they said they wouldn't accept it. I went down the street to the next closest DMV to me and they accepted it without question and have since titled 2...

    Swapping wheels to fit on a U-Haul trailer?

    They fit. Easier to load if the trailer has a fold down fender but still works if it doesn’t. Hook your strap to the tire webbing straps on the trailer to extend them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Swapping wheels to fit on a U-Haul trailer?

    It’s tight, but fits with standard wheels and tires on a uhaul. So if your other setup is any narrower, it’ll be no problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Runflat removal and install - some good and bad

    I had a blowout and had to drive through downtown Raleigh, NC on the runflat so I can attest to their value. Having a sturdy, sharp knife preferably with a serrated edge is a necessity to cut away the flaps as the tire shreds while you’re driving. Otherwise it makes a hell of a racket and will...

    Changes to NC Titling/Registration Laws

    I registered/titled my m1165 in Raleigh, NC a couple of weeks ago. I didn't need an inspector. I walked into the DMV with my sf97, a bill of sale from govplanet and an MVR-622 form (affidavit for working seatbelts and lighting), and walked out 20 minutes later with a normal, on-road title...

    2007 1165A1 ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROBLEM ON STARTUP ONLY ?

    Most of the times these forums are extremely helpful. Sometimes these threads go sideways and I'm not sure why. Yes - I know about afterglow Yes - I know it's normal Yes - I know it's temperature dependent Yes - I know the newer start boxes don't pulse Yes - I understand the logic and...

    Yes, you're correct. I know the newer ones don't pulse. I was referring to the older ones that do.

    2007 1165A1 ELECTRIC SYSTEM PROBLEM ON STARTUP ONLY ?

    Out of curiosity, how high does the voltage go on your volt meter while it's pulsing? Into the red? Have you measured the actual voltage? My M1165 pulses also (as do all these trucks), but mine pulses into the red and I've measured 30'ish volts on the peaks. After the 90 seconds or so, the...

    M1114 w/ Soft Top?

    That was my assumption but I don’t have any first hand experience with slant backs so I didn’t know for sure if there were any connection point or interface differences with them. Appreciate the quick reply. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
