    Hard Start Issue

    So are you saying your low CCA, available amperage / capacity (flat batteries) could not spin the engine 150 RPM +/- to start. If cranking engine is a struggle to turn it over , that's a problem. The range of voltage, charged to marginal is just a few tenth of volts. In 24 vols system both...

    Upper ball joint upgrade?

    Search for NOS arms. I see the later A2's not to bad $$$ with New bushings and a little work to upgrade. Now some that want $300 bucks plus shipping might be on another planet. True on crazy pricing one guy want $40 another $200. Shop till you drop, CAMO

    No Start

    Many thing to go wrong with a no start condition. I have posted this before and it takes the guesswork out of failed or failing fuel pump issues in the shop or on the trail. Minimum delivery pressure of 4 PSI or replace per TM. (6-7 normal) Thirty bucks, thirty minutes and now you know...

    Starter solenoid issues

    The "wack a mole starter" Not wishing any bad luck here, Coffee and a donut... (doesn't have to be Starbucks) it will come back to bite ya in the butt... when you most need to get somewhere. Having it out on the bench was the perfect time to give it a GOOD check up or better refresh all the...

    Should it be mandatory that new owners read the -10 manual before they take delivery??????????

    YES, they are gold. All the info is right before one eyes. Written at a sixth grade level. I think what we are seeing is some needing help, as in HELP throw me a life ring. OK, that's nice. One gets so many tosses and then stay out of the deep end or try to wade your way thru the TM's. The...

    Should it be mandatory that new owners read the -10 manual before they take delivery??????????

    Every time I take a dump... out comes the TM's. When I was younger it was that magazine that started with a P... Popular Science. LOL. I have "leaned in" to the funny that the HumV has the user manuals right there in the glove box...to NO or is it know avail. I'am on the fence... ah toilet...

    New to me M1123, PS PB failure....

    Having responded to the original post, I may have misunderstood the whole story. Wouldn't be the first time. BUT what's important is nobody got hurt. Next IMO... My experience... Being prepared when heading out in old surplus military rig is priority one. It's a good idea to have a good...

    Brake lights working TOO well....

    Do the front left / right lamps work ? as in flash /turn ? Have you taken a peek into the lamp buckets/housing? and what did you see? Sounds like you have an understanding of lighting... just need to drill down a little more. Pull the prints from the TM's to refresh the brain cells. There...

    Starter solenoid issues

    Yes ... it could be heat related. Could be this or that too. What's interesting is with many of the symptoms, observations, real testing done to "zero in" on problems... turns into a guessing game AND that OK and fun to play. If "ON SITE" most here could get right to it. As more data is...

    Starter solenoid issues

    ACTION say's soak the GPC / TSU. TOBASH say's it's heat soaked. Give the rig a good hosing down, 🚿 CAMO Love ya guy's. OP stated had voltage to the solenoid control lead??? OK.......... Check the solenoid resistance. Should be very low value ohms <12 +/-. Listen up, here's how it...

    Whining noise after replacing time delay module.

    Sure... one could do that. IMO, Easier to read up and understand the in's and out's of how it works in the case of the fan system. It will make sense as to the design. But hey... do your thing, CAMO

    Reed switch fuel sending unit

    TRUE. When I replaced my tank and upgraded to the "float-less" sender... thought this would be a good headache free addition. Looking it over, I could see how it worked with fixed reed switches and resistors. With the discrete measuring points full to empty it take a bit to get use to. If...

    M998 power steering hose leak

    if you'er not running a military fleet maintenance program, sending out oil samples... IMO it's just another place to leak & something else to go wrong. I had tee's, elbows and hoses looking like the Titanic boiler room. Plugged them off. Really.... who uses all those test connections ...

    IbisTek Tire Retainer (Carrier)

    Like I noted in post #9, one has to get it up and out of the lower latching saddle. That's would be the heavy hard part with a bigger tire. Only flat on the bottom, CAMO
