    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    For Washington State it depends on what licensing office you go through, and what the exact model is. I've heard of people having issues getting M998s licensed, but there are a few of us with M1123, 1097A2, or 11XX series trucks that had little difficulty with the actual licensing process...

    HMMWV h1 6.5 non turbo crank wont start

    3 things a diesel engine needs. Fuel, compression/heat, air. you're saying there is no smoke of any type out the exhaust when cranking, that would lead me to believe either you have a fuel delivery issue, or you have a serious compression issue. The added fact that it did nothing with the...

    Truck History

    I believe there used to be someone on here years ago with access to the serial number database for truck history, but hasn't had it for many years (or isn't here anymore, or something like that) For the rest of us, no, there really isn't any way to track the history of these trucks. The bumper...

    Normal resistance between battery connections?

    There is no way that old terminal could make a good connection. Hopefully it didn't do any damage to the battery post when it let out the smoke. Personally (and there is debate on this) I like to use a little Noalox grease on the posts before attaching the terminals, and apply it liberally to...

    Normal resistance between battery connections?

    smoke from a battery connection IS a bad connection. there isn't good contact between the battery post and the terminal clamp. Even though you have power flowing, when you try to crank the small amount of connection you have at the battery terminal isn't enough for the load, and so it heats up...

    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    So someone decided to the wheels should be hub centric instead of lug centric. That's how some of the H1 wheels I've seen are (still, gotta wonder what else they did to the truck)

    1994 M1123 won’t start. Please help!

    Have you checked fuel flow again right as it is dying/immediately after it dies? There's always the chance it's a failing fuel line or something similar causing a blockage after fuel has flowed for a bit It's probably already been mentioned, but if the vent system for the fuel tank gets plugged...

    Mounting 100A dual voltage

    Looking in the manual, the 60 and 100 use the same mounting bracket. Only difference between the aluminum and steel that I can see has to do with either using a through bolt for the alternator pivot, or using 2 separate bolts front and rear. The 196900 split has to do with the serpentine belt...

    Transfer case fluid

    DEX 3 replaced DEX 2 for all applications. DEX 3 is what you want to use. So what happened with GM is they came out with DEX 6, and started having an increase in transfer case issues/failures. So what they did was make a new label for DEX 3 and called it "manual gearcase fluid" and a new part...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I think he meant the brake/running lights for what bulbs you used.

    Tire Load Ranges...

    the trailer uses the exact same setup as the HMMWV, including the run flats. If you use the trailer much, I'd just switch the rims out of the 2 LR-E tires you have on the truck with the ones on the trailer, and put those on the trailer. Then get 4 new matched tires for the truck and call it...

    Tire Load Ranges...

    Yes, the D range will ride slightly softer, and have better flex off road when aired down (don't have to air down as far for the same amount of flex as E range) E range tires also need the 24 paired bolt rims in order to inflate above 50psi, so no benefit to running them if you don't have those...

    Plastic Bolt Broken On Power Steering Reservoir

    I don't see why not. Not sure what the thread pitch is, but as long as it doesn't leak you should be fine.

    Power hookup for accesories

    What generator do you have? If it's the 60 amp you'll definitely need a voltage converter. If a dual voltage unit, you can hook to the rear battery for small loads, but they won't be switched with the ignition. The Orion 70 amp 24-12 converter has a built in relay, so you can hook it to the...

    Exhaust hose for HMMWV garage startup?

    Just need a blower fan that can take a heat resistant hose input and blows to outside. Nothing really fancy about it; just gotta move the air. A hose that you can clamp down around the exhaust would also work, but I wouldn't trust it running the truck for any length of time; much better to have...

    M1123 brakes

    I've had that happen on 3 of my 4 caliper brackets so far. I used both loctite and nordlock washers on them to prevent another occurrence. First time the caliper bracket came loose I was 100 miles from home and 9pm during covid when every store was shutting down for the night. Got to...
